4 Sad, Sad Stories

[heartwrenching]

Ladies and gentlemen of Hogwarts, I have been doing a great deal of thinking! Oh, this in itself is nothing new, nothing new at all! To make myself excruciatingly clear, I must say that I can't remember the last time my head didn't have at least five thoughts inside biting and clawing and scratching and screaming, screaming, screaming for attention at once!

Of course, that's normal, as everyone knows. But this week, ah, this week! An abnormality is upon me! Most of this week, my thoughts have been dominated by only one subject and, frankly, it's troubling! What an existential crisis! What atrophy, what unknowable terrors lurk beneath the still surface of a placid mind!!

But let me explain what has me in such a sad state: last Sunday's Parents' Day. Or Guardian Day. Or Surprise Ghost Day, let's be inclusive!

Specifically, I am troubled by the cowardly, rotten family trees from which so many of you bud! WHERE is the honesty, WHERE is the pride, WHERE OH WHERE OH WHERE is the fortitude to stick with one's personal choices and convictions!

My most cherished family member can never come for Parents' Day because he will not back down from the choices he has made, yet liars and hypocrites and the spineless are patted on the heads as victims of convenient curses and orders from higher-ups!!

Such transparency!!

[No one's probably noticed, but Galen has been extremely scarce ever since parent's day. He's been skipping out on class and avoiding everyone, and for very good reason. On parent's day, Vader showed up and kicked his ass majorly for the unforgivable curse situation. He's been nursing his wounds so no one would be suspicious but even still he's pretty badly beaten up. But he's finally come out of hiding.]

Did no one get the memo that parents day was supposed to be just that- a day. We don't need everyone's parents suddenly getting jobs here, you should all just go home.
