The fierce new sun dazzled the windows as they thundered towards him, and the first to reach him were Ron and Hermione, and it was their arms that were wrapped around him, their incomprehensible shouts that deafened him. Then Ginny, Neville and Luna were there, and then all the Weasleys, Hagrid, Kingsley, McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout.
Harry could not hear a word that anyone was shouting, nor tell whose hands were seizing him, pulling him, trying to hug some part of him, hundreds of them pressing in, all of them determined to touch The Boy Who Lived, the reason it was over at last
Their leader and symbol, their saviour and their guide
While I’ve been running Letters Against Transphobia, I’ve been continually looking for methods of promoting it, so that it can reach as wide an audience as possible. One idea I had was to do a call for specific submissions on a specific day: everyone would be free to submit whatever they wanted whenever they wanted it the rest of the time, but for that one day, we could focus on a specific theme and ask people to basically just flood my inbox. I thought I’d try it once, and if it goes well I’ll do it again.
To start with, I was thinking ‘trans joy’, as a theme. A lot of people aren’t feeling much joy right now, but I thought it would be a good theme to start off with, and, often, the biggest way to say ‘fuck you’ to our oppressors is to be happy with ourselves, or to find joy in something.
So I was scrolling through lists of international days trying to find a convenient date on which to do this, when I found out: the second of May is International Harry Potter Day.
Lots of trans people celebrating themselves and their trans joy? I can’t think of anything that would piss off JK more.
So, if you’re on board with this, here’s the plan. On the Second of May, if you feel comfortable doing so, please submit a message to Letters Against Transphobia on the theme of trans joy. This message can take any form you want it to: it doesn’t have to be long, and it doesn’t need to be structured like a letter. It could be a personal anecdote, a short note about something that made you happy, a supportive message to other trans people—you could even make a playlist if you want to. And if you’re in a position to, please encourage others to do the same. Let’s get as many submissions as we can; let’s show people how joyful being trans can be.
Here's a link for submissions, if you need it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSds7jiUyx-vdq6fWSgN12FNQKWYvrYFMcrYkd_FLGQdQxOGxQ/viewform?usp=sf_link

I truly doubt The Lily Allen would read or come across this but if soooo...
You have been truly inspiring to me, I've loved you're music for God knows how long and never gotten sick of it. At first, I heard Smile then started listening but now I could probably name all your songs off by heart and sing them. Long story short, I have listened to you over and over again and savoured every moment. You've helped me through challenging times and still are. I've never been so thankful for someone that I've never even seen or met in real life. Even if I'm in a terrible mood, your songs cheer me up no matter what. I think I've been rambling for enough so time for some photos and GIFs!
Also her and David look so cute together, I'm really glad she found him
This open-world, single player and co-op FPS from Arkane Austin is shaping up to take a huge bite out of your spare time when it launches on 2nd May...
We are of course talking about the goings on in the island town of Redfall, Massachusetts! Where a legion of vampires have succeeded in blocking out the sun to have some nibbling fun! All whilst cutting off the town’s citizens from the outside world...
Where did the vampires come from? That’s one of many mysteries you’ll need to unravel as you explore, but we’re pretty sure it has something to do with the scientists at Aevum HQ!
Take a look at the new story trailer above and see for yourself that the 2nd of May brings you an Xbox must-play!
Pre-order and you’ll secure the Vampire Hunter Pack which includes:
Blood Ravager Stake Weapon Attachment

Grim Tide Shotgun
That’s not all either! If you pre-order Redfall on our limited-time offer, you’ll bag yourself an EXTRA £10 REWARDS POINTS at dispatch!
Uncover the truth and take back the town with us here at The Game Collection!
