Mother's Day is so different now. I keep thinking about how sad it used to make me and my father, just really sad. My mother was perfect, I always thought so. She was beautiful and so kind and loving. She sent me two owls, every day I was at Hogwarts. Always sending me little presents and notes. And when I was a little girl we kept a flower box in our apartment and she let me make a mess during the winter. I just loved having flowers around all the time and she didn't mind that I got the rug muddy. I know I wasn't a very special child but I remember the way she looked at me and it made me feel like there was no one else in the world.
Before I went to Hogwarts, when I was seven, I think, maybe eight, I used to lay awake at night worrying about what I would do if one of my parents should die. I think a lot of children do that. I hope I wasn't the only one. I was just so scared that something would happen to one of them or both of them. Sometimes I would get myself worked up and cry and my mum would just come and sleep in my room with me to make me feel better. Even if I miss her, I'm so I was old enough to really remember her, to have had real conversations with her. I miss her so much.
Today I was happy. I'm happy every day and I feel so blessed and lucky. I know that things are a mess. They're always a mess but I hope you have one thing that you can still feel grateful for. And if you're someone's mum, then I hope you had the happiest Mother's Day.

I'm confused. There's a sign on the sink that says out of order. I know it's April Fool's day but I don't want to touch the sink if it's broken. Is it really broken or are you just having a go with me, Shay? Hm? Because everyone fools me every year and I'm not going to be fooled this year. I'm really committed to this! Honest. No one is going to trick me into believing that they discovered a new planet in our solar system, or that people can now breathe underwater, or that they invented a half gerbil half crocodile animal in experiments, or that I've been nominated for a Nobel Prize, or that I've failed all my exams, or that I've gotten straight O's, or that there has been an outbreak of Ebola, or that I received an owl from Tony Blair! The sink is not broken. I'm going to do the dishes. Nice try.

IT IS BROKEN. I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE. THERE'S WATER EVERYWHERE! Oh no... I can't find the mop. Don't we have a mop? Wait, isn't there a spell for cleaning up water? SEAMUS! DEAN! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THE SINK WAS BROKEN!?
