The next morning, Teddy had a considerably harder time getting the other boys up for work. He wasn't sure what he would have done if Ellie's large package of eggs and toast hadn't arrived via Floo for him to lure them out of bed. They had apparated to work and on the way promised to meet up for lunch a small muggle café.
When the arrived in the ministry, Teddy immediately headed to the ninth floor where the Department of Mysteries was located. On his way, he pondered over the first three weeks and one day of his job. After being directed via owl to report to room 337 in the Department of Mysteries for his first day of work, he had been through a tumultuous chain of events.
The first two weeks had consisted of a vigorous training program in which he was familiarized with his duties as a Gringots worker and an agent of the Department of International Intelligence. He had been given a thick manual on Gringots protocol and the runes he was to familiarize himself with before school had even gotten out. His first day at work, he had met two men in black muggle suits and sunglasses who had been his instructors for the next two weeks, Alfred and Bernie. He had been briefed on what sort of suspicious things he was looking for, and why he was there to begin with. The rest of his training had been centered around spying. He had working on perfecting disguises through human transformation and charms. He didn't tell them he was a metamorphagus as he figured it was best to learn the normal way. The more types of disguises he had open to him, the better. He was taught stealth which was almost unnecessary due to his extensive expertise in the field due to his days as a marauder where he had honed the skill by playing pranks and sneaking about the castle. He had received quite the compliments on this aspect of his training. He was taught during those two weeks of intensive everything he needed to know about becoming a spy from the self defensive tricks, to tracking, and sneaking, to disguising, and escaping.
The next week, the two had proclaimed him ready for field work, quite early they had added. He had been faced with his first mission: go to Egypt posing as a tourist. Once in the country, he was to go to Cairo and familiarize himself with the city. As a new Gringots Curse Breaker, he would have to pretend to be new to the city, but as a spy he needed to know escape routs, apparition points, hide outs, and where things were. He was to visit the pyramids and tombs he would work in for the same reason. He secured an apartment to live in while in Egypt and keep as his correspondence headquarters with the ministry. Therefore, he had to make sure it had some type of secret room and two unrelated entrances.
He had returned from his successful mission on Saturday, and upon reporting to work on Monday, he had been supposed to meet with his boss, the head of the department. However, some international catastrophe of the spy network must have occurred as he had been left sitting in the waiting room all day unable to meet with the man.
The wooden chair had been hard, and the only reading materials had been a three month old issue of Witch Weekly Magazine and the Daily Prophet from the Wednesday before that was missing the Sports section.
The elderly witch who was the boss' secretary had kept giving him dirty glances over her thick glasses, and her frizzing grey hair made her look like a hag. She seemed senile and had a funny accent when she talked, or rather sang to herself, while he waited. She had kept the wireless on and sang along so off-tune whenever a Cecilia Warback song came on, it seemed almost intentional. Teddy wasn't looking forward to spending another day with her.
When he arrived in the department, he coldn't help but notice how well it was disguised as a banking office for Gringots. While the goblins ran their bank, the department appeared to be doing much of the executive work. Apparently this had been a façade for centuries so that the wizarding society would trust the bank that seemed to be run by witches and wizards while Goblins really were happy to run the entire thing. The ministry agreed to this in order to hide their undercover operations and spy network which Gringots helped them facilitate. This left both sides happy, and the public none the wiser.
Teddy approached the desk of Ms. Fornswaith who peered over her bug eyed glasses at him and cleared her throat loudly before making a funny face as if she had smelled something horrible.
"Er, I'm here for a meeting with Mr. Pacino," said Teddy uncomfortably. He tried not to count the numerous wrinkles on the ugly old woman's face.
"AhhHHH, Mr. LoooOOOpin," she said in a high squeaky voice drawing his name out and saying it in a strange way. She seemed quite batty to Teddy. "He iiis ready to seeeeeeee you." She drew out the I's and E's like a screaming tea kettle that hurt Teddy's ears. Teddy gave her a strange look as he passed into the office of a Mr. A. Pacino, Department Head.
"Hello?" he said reaching the open doorway and seeing an intimidating large desk in front of him in the large dark office. Behind the desk, a tall black chair had it's back to him.
"Come in, close the door behind you, and sit down," came a booming voice. Teddy did as he was told. "Regretfully, I could not meet with you yesterday, but I had pressing matters to attend to."
"No problem Mr. Pacino."
"Ah, Pacino, my predecessor had a fixation with some stupid muggle movie, I'm known as Godfather, or Scarface around here. No need for formalities, it's not my real name anyways." The man spun slowly around in his chair to reveal an older man, solidly built in his youth and quite tall. He had a full head of distinguished grey white hair and indeed had a long thick scar marring his wise looking face. Teddy looked into his penetrating dark black eyes and gulped, this was a man to fear.
"The file in front of you contains your new identity Mr. Lupin. To protect yourself, those around you, and the business, you shall have an alias of Edward Knots while abroad that only a few select friends and family should know. Tonks, Knots, clever huh? The picture there is your disguise. While I know you are a metamophagus, your trainers did not. I suggest using your morphing ability while abroad, even when sleeping. It is why your are perfect for the job. All of your papers as Edward are in there. Even in this office you will go by Edward Knots, esteemed curse breaker and banker. Your office is down the hall on the right and your secretary shall be Mrs. Smith. I and Ms. Fornswiath are the only people in the entire office that will know your true identity. You shall send all reports to either myself, Ms. Fornswiath, or Mrs. Smith as if your are Edward Knots. You have already been taught the code for the messages, and I'm sure you will have no problems. Any questions?"
"No Mr. Godfather, sir," said Teddy secretly alarmed to know the batty secretary would be one of two protecting his identity. She was a nutter!
"Well, your first interval in Egypt will be the next two weeks where you will send a report every two days. At the end of the two weeks you will report back to me on Thursday and then have a three day weekend off before returning to Egypt. Now, test out your new identity, and if I find it fitting, you may be off to your office."
Teddy morphed his face easily into the pictured handsome man with a slightly crooked nose, a long lean face, sharp brown eyes, dark slanted brows, yet a comforting kind smile. His hair became the long dark brown ponytail, and his skin became slightly more tanned.
"Excellent, better than I thought. Thank you Edward, good day and you'll leave tomorrow then."
"Thank you er.. Godfather," said Teddy awkwardly in the new voice of Edward. He had changed his vocal cords to match the "deep voice with a slight Welsh accent" that was described in the file. He left the office and headed down the hall to find his office which was quite large, and meet his personal secretary.
Teddy didn't notice as he left that the strange secretary had walked into Mr. Pacino's office, sequestering herself and the boss as she closed the door.
"Fleur, I do wish you'd act a little more sane as my secretary, love. Ted thought you were absolutely bonkers!" Said the redhead sitting behind the desk as the blond veela sat down on the edge of his desk.
"Aww Bill, sweetie, I vas just 'aving a little fun. I vasn't nearly as bad as I vas vith Charlie yesterday," she said flipping through a file on his desk.
"Yes, but Charlie knows it's you under all those spells and also finds it hilarious. Besides, Charlie is not a true agent, he does this out of brotherly love and the fact I pay well to keep an eye on the Romanians and Hungarians."
"Oh Bill! You're no fun!" she pouted prettily.
"I'll show you fun! Aren't men like me supposed to have affairs with their secretaries?" he said reaching across the desk and pulling her into his lap.
"MR. WEASLEY! I'm not sure your wife vould approve!" exclaimed Fleur in mock indignation.
"What she doesn't know won't hurt her, and somehow I don't think she'd mind," laughed Bill with a wink.
Teddy approached the door that said EDWARD KNOTS with caution, not exactly knowing what to expect. The door had a window in it, but the blinds were down, so he was forced to enter not knowing what to expect.
"Hello, how may I help you?" asked a stern voice as he walked into the small room. There were two chairs to one side of the door and a desk on the other where it appeared his secretary was working. She was a stern looking woman in her thirties with dark hair pulled back severely and sharp horn rimed glasses. She looked a bit intimidating, and almost had a McGonagall look to her. In front of him, across the office, was another door that lead into his office and had a golden name plate reading Edward Knots on the door.
"Mrs. Smith?" asked Teddy holding out his hand.
"Mr. Knots! Ah, it's so good to meet you, I'm Anne Smith, and your office is right through there. If you need anything at all, please, don't feel shy to ask. There is a button on your desk that will notify me if you need anything. Please feel free to call me in or tell me if you need something. Welcome to the department!" her entire demeanor changed as she realized it was him, and Teddy had a suspicion that she treated all visitors warily.
"Thank you Mrs. Smith, I'll tell you if I need anything, but for now, I'll be familiarizing myself with my office. I'm leaving for Egypt tomorrow, so I had best get anything here cleared up today."
"Would you like me to check your floo itinerary and get your tickets together?" she asked. "I can also arrange for a car to take your luggage to the Floo port."
"That would be wonderful, I don't think it would be a good idea to apparate with all of my luggage to a foreign country. Wouldn't want to splinch myself," said Teddy, surprised that the secretary would do that for him.
"No problem, also, would you like me to arrange for a lunch to be delivered to your office today?"
"Actually, I will be eating out, but thank you," said Teddy as he walked into his office. He had long heard about ministry offices and hadn't expected much. However, he was quite surprised. His office even had an enchanted window which he knew was a sign of prestige as even uncle Percy had gone years without a window in his youth. He grinned looking around the room. On the left wall was a window depicting a cloudy day with an impending storm while on the opposite wall was a large map of the world with red dots representing each Gringots Branch around the world. There was a special map of just Egypt that showed each of the ancient Gringots branches that were undergoing special magical investigations, especially the one where he would be working, the Great Pyramid.
Across from the door was a large dark wood desk with a comfortable looking black chair behind it. Edward Knots was on the golden nameplate and there was an ostrich feather quill in an expensive looking inkwell ready for him to use. There were already several files stacked neatly on his desk, and he noticed that the bookcase behind the desk was already filled with books on ancient runes, the pyramids, curses, arithmancy, and the history of Gringots Banking. He crossed the room to find they were organized by topic neatly.
"I hope I did a satisfactory job of organizing your things? I hung the maps up, but I wasn't exactly sure how you wanted the books, so they are by topic, not title or author," came Mrs. Smith's voice as she entered the room with a steaming cup of tea. "I wasn't sure how you liked your tea? Cream, sugar?"
"I drink it plain, thank you very much, and the office is wonderful. Thank you for organizing my things," he said opening a book to find his name Edward Knots, written in the cover. They even had fake possessions for him? This was quite the undercover job.
"Yes, well Mr. Pacino just sent a memo that they sent someone to your house and all of your things have been packed. You don't need to worry about lifting a finger to even pack your toothbrush." Teddy raised his eyebrows. It was impossible for someone to have gone to the shack and get any of his things. The shack was under many magical spells that only the marauders could visit. Even Ellie hadn't ever come to the shack. She didn't know where the boys were living and just knew that she could reach them by owl and floo packages to them. This must mean that he would have entirely new clothes, trunks, and furniture for his new place provided by the department. His idea was confirmed when she handed him a paper airplane memo that unfolded in his hand and told him as much. It said to only bring what he absolutely had to and leave all important things at home in case he was ever forced to abandon his post without bringing his things. All he really needed was his wand and a clean pair or two of clothes to travel in.
Teddy went behind his desk, deciding to look at the files, and found they were information about his coworkers and the Egyptians he would be working with. He read each carefully, learning who was in on the operation and who wasn't, who was his ally and who his enemy, who he was supposed to watch for what and who he could ask for help. It was an intensive morning, and in no time he was off to the café with his friends who he met in the lobby.
The four boys sat in the café eating sandwitches while Teddy discussed the turn of events. Murphy was sweaty from morning practice while James and Orion looked like practical had been quite strenuous today. Teddy was the only one that didn't look like he needed a shower.
"So you're telling me, that they have this whole secret identity set up for you, and you're leaving tomorrow morning from the flooport at seven?" asked Murphy between mouthfuls of food.
"Yes, and they got me all new furniture and clothes and things for my apartment, and even my office, there are a bunch of books that all have my false name in them like I wrote them in there, I was flipping through one and it was inscribed to me from my mum. 'To my little Edward, may you one day see these wondrous pyramids for yourself! Love, mum.' It's bloody ridiculous! I'm not kidding!"
"We're gonna miss you dear friend. EDWARD, DON'T LEAVE US!" laughed Orion reaching across the table to hand onto Teddy's arm. "Don't leave me here!"
"Oh, shut up Padfoot! You're making a scene."
"Well, we will miss you and it's too bad we won't get to have a proper sendoff party for you! Perhaps last night should count? All of the girls were there too."
"Yeah, all the girls," murmured Teddy. "Well, I'll owl you guys when I can, and I'll see you two weeks from next Friday. Good luck getting those two out of bed while I'm gone," he joked to James.
"Yeah, I know! Anyways, how about we get your favorite Chinese takeout and have a little dinner and then maybe play some cards or something tonight before you go? Nothing too crazy, just a little dinner," suggested James.
"I have, other plans tonight for dinner, but maybe later for cards," replied Teddy thinking of some things he needed to do.
"Ok, well definitely you have to play a game of cards after your plans. Oh, and maybe put on the wireless and listen to the season opener for the Chudley Cannons? Murphy plays their reserve team in two weeks, I think it's a Saturday game, so we can all go!" continued Orion.
"Really, Murph, that's great! I didn't realize the season was starting so soon, you've only been practicing for three weeks," said Teddy.
"Yeah, well the English circuit has a short season, the national league plays year round and all. But we're pretty happy to play from mid June to Christmas. The off season is when I'll get a lot of training done this year. From what I've heard, it's great, nothing but scrimmages all the time and just playing and playing. Not that I don't love what I'm doing now. But, you know, less game pressure, a lot more experience with different players, a learning experience."
"Well, try and get us some tickets so I can see you when I get back. I'll pay for em, you know, since I'm starting my big job," said Teddy hoping to get to see his friend play.
"Yeah, I'll do that. But, I have to try and get a shower in before strategy session at two and then we have another practice at four, so I better get back to the pitch. See you guys tonight around six," said Murphy getting up and tossing some bills on the table before leaving.
"Yeah, our first afternoon class is in a little less than an hour and we also need showers. We'll see you tonight," said James looking at his watch after Murphy's abrupt exit. "See ya Teddy, or should I say Eddie?"
Oh, that was clever, Teddy, Eddie, Edward, now he knew why they had chosen the name. It would be much easier to respond to when it was so similar to his real name. Teddy looked at his watch and deciding he had enough time, apparated to the large brick house in the center of London that he knew unlike any other. Going up to the door he knocked gently waiting for the door to be opened.
A grey haired woman with a kind face that had once been very beautiful opened the door with a look of surprise. "Teddy! What are you doing here darling? You look wonderful, come in, have a cup of tea!"
"Hi Gran," he said hugging her. "I don't have a lot of time before my lunch hour is over, so we'll have to make this brief."
"Oh, of course, you're a hot shot now aren't you, working for Gringots and all, my bridge club was so impressed!" she said looking him over and rushing in with a plate full of biscuits and a cup of unsweetened tea.
"Something like that," he said taking the plate as she sat down. He couldn't help but notice how old she looked. He never remembered her looking this old before he went to Hogwarts, and every year, her age surprised him when he came home. He hadn't seen her much since graduating, and he wished he had.
"Well, what brings you here, love?"
"I was called into the boss's office today and they are ready to send me to Egypt. I leave tomorrow."
"What short notice dear, I can't image what it will be like to pack!"
"Well, I'll only be gone for two weeks, and then I'll get a couple days off. I'll be sure to come visit."
"That's not bad, but tell me, are you excited?" she asked.
"Yes, I am. It sounds like a great opportunity, and seeing the pyramids will be very enlightening. Remember how I used to pretend I was Bill Weasley, Curse Breaker extraordinaire, and go around the yard and the basement with that toy wand pretending I was exploring the pyramids and fighting off mummies and mutant scorpions and gouls? Now I get to do the real thing."
"Oh, yes, and your little Victoire tagging along being the damsel in distress! I still don't understand why James always liked being the villain, being the hero is so much more fun, and you get the pretty damsel," commented his Gran.
"James thought girls had cooties, and Victoire was his cousin after all. He just liked to scare her."
"Always a trouble maker that one. His gran came by earlier today and told me all about how he was engaged and would be the first of her little ones to get married. The whole time she was sobbing all over my blue afghan. I'm pretty sure the cup of tea I gave her was salty by the time she drank it. She's happy though, she can't wait to plan it all with the girl, Elaine, I believe. Molly said she's such a pretty girl, do you know her?"
"Yes, she's wonderful. She's a lot like Aunt Ginny, very pretty with a temper, excellent cook, very talented, she was headgirl you know. She's at healer training with Victoire, they share an apartment and are very good friends."
"Oh, that's wonderful. If Vicky likes her, then I'm sure I will too. I should have her over while you're gone. I'm sure to need some company without you visiting every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday with Sunday dinner at Molly's. I'll miss you Teddy, make me proud." Teddy smirked as his Gran used her nickname for Victoire. Only Gran ever called her that, and him really, but only to get on her nerves would he call her Vicky.
"Thanks Gran, don't worry, I will. You be safe here, and don't miss me too much. I'll miss you too, and I'll write when I have time. Thanks for the tea and cookies." Teddy rose and hugged his grandmother before kissing her on both cheeks and then apparating back toward the ministry. Andromeda sighed wistfully and began taking the dishes out with her to the kitchen from the parlor where she had said goodbye to her Grandson while a single tear slipped down her cheek. She would miss him so very much.
That night, Teddy stood in the rain outside of the apartment building looming in front of him. A bag of Chinese food in his hand, he had decided to ditch the marauders and come here, but now he wasn't sure if he could. Was he a Gryffindor or not? He decided he needed to go and prove himself and marched up to the door where he pressed the buzzer with determination.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Vic."
"Is that you Teddy?"
"No, this is Lord Voldemort speaking," he joked earning a laugh from the other side. "Yeah, it's me, who else calls you Vic?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I was hoping to talk to you, and if you're disinclined to let me in, I brought death eaters, I mean Chinese food to help me gain entrance." She laughed again.
"Well I'm rather afraid of those death eaters so I better let you in huh? I'll just buzz you in, one second."
"Toire, would you like it if I somehow disappeared?" asked Ellie from the couch where she had been watching a muggle program on the telly.
"Err.. well," said Victoire uncertainly. She didn't know why Teddy was here, and if he was here to profess his undying love for her, then perhaps it would be better if Ellie wasn't here to make him nervous and witness it.
"I'll just head over to ShiShi's, I'm sure she could use some company that isn't just snogging all over her couch and eating her food."
"Thanks El," grinned Victoire as her friend turned on the spot. She rushed to the mirror and fluffed her hair, checking her appearance. She was wearing the blue scrubs she had worn to work today under her robes, but that couldn't be changed now as Teddy was already knocking on the door. She hurried to the door trying to appear calm and collected.
Opening the door, she grinned seeing Teddy a little wet from the rain, holding a bag of Chinese food, and looking a little uncomfortable. "Look what the cat dragged in," she joked whipping out her wand and performing a drying spell as he came in.
"Yeah, I probably look a sight, but I had a bit of difficulty with your buzzy thing," lied Teddy not wanting to tell her that he had indeed just been too nervous and indecisive to come in and had stood in the rain for a good ten minutes before making up his mind. What was he even doing here?
"Oh, I figured you came with James enough that you knew how to use it."
"Err.. yeah, well I forget things sometimes. I have a lot on my mind. Here's the food, I was hungry for it, and since it's your favorite too…" He looked around the apartment, seeing the TV on. "Is Ellie home? I didn't think to bring some for her, but I'm sure there's enough."
"She's at ShiShi's keeping her company. ShiShi gets a little exasperated with Frank and Sarah around all the time and needs some girl talk sometimes."
"I get it, well, shall we?" he asked stepping into the kitchen that was painted yellow and lavender. He loved their apartment, it was so bright and sunny, so Victoire and Elaine. Their living room was a pale blue and their bathroom was bright orange. It seemed alive and bright compared to the mostly dark and dingy Shrieking Shack. He looked out at their large sun room, it was his favorite part of the small apartment. Stepping out into the large octagonal shaped glass room, he looked around at the bright London lights around them. The view was unbelievable. Looking around the room he saw the many plants that he knew Victoire carefully cultivated in her spare time. She had always loved gardening and this bright greenhouse room was perfect. He noticed a large green armchair that he hadn't seen before where Toire must have left a book.
"Teddy, I set the table, stop staring at the skyline and come in and eat!" she laughed, coming out into the warm room to pull him back inside the kitchen where she had set out the Chinese food.
"So, besides wanting to share in this wonderful Chinese feast, what's on your mind Ted? I know that you must have some other reason for stopping by?" prompted Victoire not long after they had started the meal.
"Well, I just wanted to come say goodbye. I'm leaving tomorrow for Egypt, curse breaker assignment came up quickly. I didn't expect to leave so soon and I wanted to say goodbye."
"What! I thought you were going to be working at Gringots like my dad now!"
"Well, I'm working for Gringots. I'll be gone a lot in Egypt working as a curse breaker at the pyramids."
"So, you're just leaving? When? For how long?"
"Well, tomorrow morning. I'm going to be gone for two weeks this time, then I come home for three days, and I don't know how long I'll be gone before I get another chance to come back."
"So, I won't see you for two weeks? You won't be at any of the get togethers or anything?"
"Yeah, I'll be stuck in Cairo," he said dejectedly.
"Oh, but I'm sure you'll be having lots of fun, it will be just like old times when you used to pretend you were my dad and that you were a curse breaker breaking into tombs and getting treasure!"
"Yeah, but this time I won't have you there with me whining about how the basement at my Gran's is full of spiders," laughed Teddy.
"Eww! I remember why I never wanted to play that game now."
"Ha! Just how I never wanted to play tea party with your dolls and Dominique."
"Oh my gosh! I had forgotten that! I think I have a picture of one of our tea parties somewhere. I think I made you wear a pink hat and you were quite mad."
Over the rest of their dinner, they reminisced about old times and didn't branch the subject of Teddy leaving in the morning again until they were sitting on the couch drinking their tea.
"Thanks for the Chinese food," said Toire drinking her super sweet tea, seven lumps of sugar. Teddy always thought it was cute that she had to put so much sugar in it. It made the tea almost as sweet as her. "It was really nice to see you before you left, I'm gonna miss you Tedders!"
"Oh, come on! Even my gran didn't say that when I stopped over to say goodbye."
"HA! Well, in all seriousness, I will miss you. I didn't realize how little I would get to see you when you chose this job."
"I'll miss you too Toire. But, I actually came here hoping you would do a favor for me. I'm not supposed to bring anything valuable to Cairo with me, just in case things happen or whatnot. And, I'm not sure I trust my roommates not to blow up the house while I'm gone, during a prank gone wrong or something. In any case, I have something I would like you to take care of for me. Do you mind?"
"Teddy, absolutely not, whatever it is, be it your chocolate frog card collection or your favorite books."
"Well, it was my mothers, my father gave it to her." He pulled out the white gold heart shaped locket with a howling wolf engraved on the front surrounded by stars and a full moon. "It's pretty special to me, and I've always kept it with me since I was in third year and my gran gave it to me to keep, but I don't think I can bring it with me to Egypt, so I'd like you to take care of it for me."
"Oh, Teddy, are you sure?" said Victoire taking the locket reverently, knowing how much the necklace meant to him. He had adored it since his grandmother had first shown it to him when they were children. She rubbed her thumb gently over the engraved wolf before opening it. On the left was a little miniature of Remus and Nymphadora Lupin smiling up at the viewer as they embraced each other happily. On the other side was a picture of Teddy as a baby with his bright turquoise hair and a big grin on his face.
"I wouldn't trust anyone else," he whispered. "Take care of it for me."
`"I won't let you down. I'll take very good care of it," she said leading him to the door and carefully placing the necklace in her scrubs pocket, knowing she would have it around her neck the second he walked out the door.
"Take care of yourself, Vic, I wana come back and find you in one piece,"
"I will, you're going to be back in two weeks! Honestly! But, in any case, same to you. Come back in one piece."
"Thanks Toire, for everything. I love you, you know that," he said making sure his words sounded entirely platonic while he was really putting so much more meaning behind them than she would ever know. Why he couldn't work up the courage to kiss her goodbye or proclaim his undying love for her, he would never know. However, he could hug her and heard her whisper, "Love you too Ted," which, although he knew was entirely platonic, he couldn't help be let his heart leap for job.
He didn't notice the shining eyes as she closed the door behind him, and smiled at the irony. Victoire had his heart, and now she had his locket too, his heart locket. They would stay in London together, his locket, Victoire, his heart. Meanwhile, Victoire fastened the pale chain around her neck.
This chapter sorta explains the title, how Teddy will be in Egypt, but his love rests with Victoire, so his heart is staying in London and the necklace symbolizes that. I hope everyone got that, but wanted to explain... Anyways.. PLEASE REVIEW and thanks to those who already have!
Ellie
