“The Frank and Alice love story finally reach the wedding milestone, huh?”

“Mhm, when will you and Remus reach that milestone, Dorky?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Do we have an I.D. on him?”

“Howard Turner, grew up in Didsbury, Manchester. We only have information on his till he was 11 years old. After that, it was like he vanished from the face of earth.”

“Marls, you can’t use words like ‘accio’.”

“What? Why not? It's a legitimate word.”
