Chapter 3

"Sorry I forgot to send you a card," said Hermione. "Here it is. I just couldn't find an owl. And here are some Chocolate Frogs."

"Thanks." Said Harry as they walked into Gringot's Wizards Bank. Mr. Weasly had just dropped them off after the long drive from number 4 Privet Drive. In spite of June's events the Ministry had given Mr. Weasly permission to bewitch a muggle car and actually use it for transportation.

They first stopped at Ron's vault where he took out 2 galleons, 7 sickles, and 13 kunts. Hermione didn't have a vault because she had traded in her muggle money for wizard dollars. Next stop was Harry's vault where he took out 5 galleons, 10 sickles, and 20 kunts. Ron's face went pink when he saw the contents of Harry's vault. Harry had always tried to avoid this situation but it seemed inevitable that one day Ron would see it. Harry decided that hey would buy everyone ice cream.

The went to Flourish and Blots to get there books. There were no lines so fortunately they were in and out pretty quickly. They managed to bump into Cho Chang, Neville Longbottom, Luna Loovegood, and Dean Tomas. They also actually bumped into Draco Malfoy, and not on accident. They managed not to pay attention to him although Ron turned a light red when he heard the Slytherin version of Weasly is our King, the song they sang when Ron couldn't quite get into the Keeper groove in Quidditch.

They stopped for ice cream just like Harry said although Ron was a little embarrasses about it. They stopped at the owlrey to inform the Dursley family that Harry was spending the rest of the summer at the Burrow. As they walked back to Gringot's to meet Mr. Weasly Hermione talked about what else, school. "Last year when we had the career advice meeting I told Professor McGonagol that I wanted to do muggle relations. She said that I needed at least 5 O.W.L.'s and I got 13 of them, and I can't believe you got 14 Harry you can definitely become and Auror! But as I was saying, I don't think muggle relations are good for me anyway. I think I want to become the Headmistress of Hogwarts! Ron, what do you want to do?"

"Huh? Oh, well I was thinking about becoming an Auror but I have changed my mind. I only have 7 O.W.L.'s. But it is weird because out of all the grades Harry sent to me, they were the same or similar only I guess my eyes were off or something but whatever. I think that I want to become the Minister of Magic! I remember hearing that you need only 6 O.W.L.'s and I have 7! What about you Harry, you still want to be an Auror?"

"Oh, well, yeah I think so." Harry heard a honk behind him and turned around. Mr. Weasly was there in his car. "Oh Ron, here's your dad! Let's go!" They clambered into the car.

"So kids, did you get everything you need?" They nodded. "All right then! Lets go. Mrs. Weasly can't wait to see you two again." He said as he pointed to Harry and Hermione. "Well, off we go!" He said as the car jumped into drive and sped off.
