Hmmm.... where are they.......... where are th-- Oh, I didn't know that I had company! Sorry, I was just so worried about my sugar quills that I didn't notice! I've been soooo out of it ever since that annoying kid stole my stash of Sugar Quills! I promise, once I find that-that-that uggggghhh, disgusting kid, I will kill him, take his guts out, and donate them to the Potions class! -shudder- Okay, so where was I? Oh, yes, yes... I remember now. Okay, so that day, I was wandering in the hallways after class, enjoying a box of sugar quill and reading Hogwarts, A History. Then, along comes this horrible, annoying, disrespectful first year, who just steals them and runs off. I tried stopping him, but that kid disappeared so quickly he was like a house elf! So, if you guys see a very short blonde boy (he must be under 4 feet!) with a nose like a pig's..... give him a smack from me, and send me back the Sugar Quills!
Much Thanks!

You-Know-Who is back and aside from the pain, tyranny, and suffering that comes with his return, there is yet another evil that he brings with him which we must face...inflation! The day after the Daily Prophet printed that You-Know-Who had indeed resurfaced, protective items such as sneakoscopes, and foe glasses went up in price nearly 400%!! If that isn't enough, some businesses like Jerry's Defense Depot are actually exploiting the fear of the public through advertising! "Is mom acting funny because she's 'just having a bad day'....or is she under the imperious curse? Find out with a little help from a Secrecy Sensor."
The cost of invisibility cloaks have experienced the greatest price hike.
The magical community should be aware of such scandals. The best way to protect you families is to have a strong defense. Parents are urged to go over the basic disarming spells with their children.
