Alright, fellow journallers. Advice time. Let's say the chappie in the third-rate apothecary next door has had a "help wanted" sign in the window for something close to a month now. And let's say that two days ago, said chappie affixes another sign beneath it, which reads: "no Muggleborns need apply."

So, dear readers, what's a girl to do? I have practised perfecting my "look that can actually kill" whenever I walk past but other than that (which is, sadly, thus far ineffective) I am at a total loss. At least, for ideas that aren't deliciously violent and therefore won't make me end up looking for some legal counsel of my own. Which would be alright if I could afford it, but I can't.

Suggestions? And, like my Mum used to say, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Nice to me and Muggleborns, I mean. Feel free to say horrid things about our friend the apothecary.

I don't join things. But I've got to do something. And it's really hard resisting the urge to make that something be 'hex the bollocks off a fat old bigot of an apothecary.' Satisfying as it would be in the heat of the moment, in the long run I don't think it would... help.

That'll just get you looking for a solicitor.

Exactly my dilemma.

Sabotage is always a fun hobby. Not sure it's a better or more legal suggestion than Fenwick's though.

Hex the sign to say something else. Like "Don't buy my shite products" or something infinitely more clever.

You just may be on to something, Dearborn. That's why I keep you around.

Aha. I knew there had to be a reason besides my overwhelming charm and allure.

I know, you think they would suffice, but apparently not.

It's a shame, I don't think there's anywhere you could make a formal complaint about that sort of thing. There really ought to be better laws prohibiting discrimination by blood status.

Can't make laws about what's in a person's head. And we shouldn't, either; that's dangerous territory.

I didn't say there ought to be laws discriminating prejudice. That would be what's in a person's head. Discrimination is when one makes one's prejudices action, and actions can be regulated by the law.

Try asking him politely about it. You know, "what's all this then?", that sort of thing.

I'm not good at that. It would probably just lead to violence. I think I'm taking Caradoc's suggestion.

Well now you've let the whole world know, which wasn't a stupendous idea.

Oh well. Apparently I'm not the criminal mastermind I aspire to be.

I'd hoped that this was going to start with a job opportunity.

May I suggest mentioning just which apothecary this would be? Obviously for boy-cotting purposes, and not at all for general mischief and vandalism, as that would not at all be something I would ever be a part of. Of course.

Want to be a poorly-paid photographer's assistant? That I could maybe offer. (And by that I mean both a poorly-paid assistant to a photographer, and an assistant to a poorly-paid photographer.)

It's called Dribbels and Leeks, though I believe Mr Dribbels is fictional and Mr Leeks is our arsehole.

As long as it's ____-paid, you can count me in. Give me the details and I can submit a resume.

Good to know. I'm sure they won't find any broken windows at all, heavens no.

I like your style. I don't need a CV, just come by the shop anytime. D. Meadowes Photography, on the dodgy end of Diagon, next to the arsehole apothecary's.

I'll probably be stopping by tomorrow, then. Thank you ever so much.
