After we've had a few days to cool and think about it...
We don't want to get him cross at us because students are boycotting him. More to the point might be having people visit the shop, ask for our products and 'when is Zonko's going to be carrying them again?' yeah? The whole point is for us to get back in to the shop.
So we plan to keep stopping by the premises periodically to show him stuff we're developing and saying, "don't you think this would sell well for you?" If he keeps hearing students telling him how much they want to buy our products at Zonko's (rather than how they're hacked off at him), he might be more likely to let us in again.
Boycotts can work, yeah, but they're best tried after you've tried everything else first. Because they can cause bad feeling, and if tempers start really flaring, he might give up on the idea of selling to students entirely. Get rid of the shop and taking up knitting like Mum.
(Except, of course, that Mum's gonna be knitting a lot less if she can get her own shop off the ground).
