Journal ~ June 14 ~ After reading the Daily Prophet
(Private to self)
So we're under-staffed, now, are we? Where on earth do these Prophet reporters come up with this stuff? As a matter of fact-

I'm afraid that the editorial process of the Daily Prophet has become somewhat lax as of late. Apparently, they are under the impression that Hogwarts is "under-staffed". I wonder where they would come up with this opinion. As I (and many others) see it, Hogwarts has never had such a qualified and committed staff. Every subject is taught by a knowledgeable, qualified Professor, not to mention the many teaching assistants that have been introduced to the school this year, to the benefit of students and professors alike.
Not to mention that we are under the direction of Headmistress McGonagall, one of the best leaders the school has ever seen, perhaps surpassed only by her predecessor Professor Dumbledore. The school has incorporated many new ideas that have only helped our students. This year's revamped Quidditch program has proven more popular than any other time in recent history, in addition to students receiving the best magical education available.

I'm sorry to be so outspoken, but sometimes it is required. Mandy's scholarship fund will be recieving donations from me and my family within the next day or so - it was a wonderful idea.
