Summer Jobs Challenge Update
Will you look at this…!!!

Harry is doing great working for Eeylops Owl Emporium. Owning and taking care of Hedwig taught him a lot about owls. She accompanies him every day and draws a lot of customers in to see the snow-white owl in the window.

And Ron is a phenom at Quality Quidditch Supplies. His sense of stradigy, vast knowledge of all the professional teams and individual members, and the equipment used; one would thing he was a professional and not just a student. Business couldn’t be better.

Just a few ideas somebody may have thought of or just needed a push in the right direction.

PS: Any familiarity between my hints and any actual story is purely coincidental. These hints were written months ago.

PPS: My international port key activates in a few hours. Barring any Death Eater activity, I will be back in time to close the Challenge and start the judging.

PPPS: Challenge stories are eligible for Silver Trinket Awards.

Miss Gryffindor came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.20 - 10:55AM to say:

So, if training snitches cost Quality Quidditch Supplies 5 galleons wholesale, and Ron suggests selling them for 10 galleons each or three for 25 galleons, does that qualify for MELES (Most Effective Learning Experience for the student)?



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.20 - 11:22AM to say:

Miss Gryffindor - YES! That's an excellent way of looking at it. Ron actually having the skill of a retailer. Imagine that?!



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.20 - 11:31AM to say:

Do they accept most major credit cards? I could use a new quaffle since my pet sasquatch sat on mine.



lecook4 came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.20 - 02:13PM to say:

Spenser - So, does that mean your quaffle is a now a waffle? (sorry, couldn't resist) :-)

Hermione definately needs to become a vet's apprentice... think Job Spaying.



Spenser Hemmingway came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.23 - 09:45AM to say:

Okay...big question. In item # 6 of the original Challenge outline, it stated that this story occurs during the summer before Harry's seventh year. In the update we are told that it is set before HBP so that Dumbledore, Malfoy and Snape are still around. Spenser has put a hole in my wall banging his head against it with the thought of revisions. Which is correct? By the way...the Qudditch store does except Wizard Express Cards for mail-order purchases. Eric



King of Pain came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.26 - 06:12AM to say:

Maybe Hermione could be a copy editor for the Daily Prophet. That way we could all be sure that no misspelled words made it through onto their web site ;-) (sorry, I couldn't resist either)



Sir Ollivander came out of the woodwork on 2006.08.31 - 01:39AM to say:

Spenser - this Challenge was written last year before HBP was released. Actually, it was to come out the same month as HBP. If originally posted, the headmaster would still be alive, and Snape and Malfoy would still be at Hogwarts. So, if anybody wanted to submit a story, they can consider it either pre or post-HBP, even though the time-frame is after Harry's sixth year. If the Challenge was posted before the book was released (same month), it could be, or could have been, written either way.
