alt_hermioneIn case anybody was wondering, I didn't put mud in Percy Weasley's bed. I don't even know Percy Weasley and I couldn't get up to Gryffindor Tower anyway. I'm not allowed to go to any of the students' dormitories, not even the girls', so how could I get there anyway? Also, if that was on account of me, please don't do things like that any more, Fred, George. You'll only get yourselves in trouble and me along with you.
Today's word is oligopoly! I learned it in A History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot. I'm re-reading it because I didn't really understand everything well enough the first time, and a good thing too, because this time I'm looking up all the words I don't know! Oligopoly is kind of like 'monopoly,' only instead of meaning that one person controls the whole market for something, it means that a handful of people do. So if only three merchants had phoenix feathers to sell, they would be an oligopoly!
I don't think I'm supposed to talk to students much any more in this journal. But if you have a problem with your journal, you can ask me about it, because that's my job. So, if you have a problem with your journal - please please ask me about it! I like helping people. And writing back and forth with them to help them.
