"One more series of Portkeys to go, love, and we'll be home, and then you won't have to use one again till after the twins are born." The three trunks fit nicely under his arm. "Say goodnight to Egypt, Fleur. The Portkey will be active in two minutes." He takes a last longing glance out through the window: it's spectacular but he's ready. Of all the things he's had to concede to, this is the least regrettable of all. Luxor isn't going to simply disappear.
Bill takes the broken and useless wristwatch into his hand and directs Fleur's hand to it as well. "Ready?"

Goodbye, all of this.
They'll just be on holiday from it for a while.
