It was another two days before Harry was allowed out of the Hospital wing. During that time he caught up on his school work and made a start on his Summer Homework. While working through his homework Harry noticed that he had carried over a bad habit from his time with the Dursley's.

Being punished for doing better than his whale of a cousin had taught Harry to hold back, even though he understood everything and could probably get top marks in his subjects and give Hermione a run for her money for top spot in their year.

Harry came to a decision as he worked on his homework, No More slacking off and doing only enough. Harry decided that he was going to do his best in every subject from now on, and that included his electives for his third year. He had decided on Care of Magical Creatures and Divination to have an easy time of it for the next three years. However if his last two years were anything to go by, he needed to apply himself if he wanted to survive. He doubted Divination would help him fighting Tom.

Speaking with Madame Pomfrey, Harry requested any information she had on the Electives available in Third Year.

"Well you have Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, Arithmancy and Divination" Poppy advised. "Divination is really only of value if you have the sight. The only other real thing they go into is Scrying bust most places are warded against that now. Care of Magical Creatures is exactly what the name implies. It covers all the magical creatures and their care, from Flobberworms to Dragons and everything in between. Ancient Runes is the study of Runes, these can be used for anything from Enchanting objects like your Broom to creating or dismantling Ward schemes. Last you have Arithmancy which covers the Maths behind your spells. This is commonly used by Spellcrafters to create new spells or deconstruct old spells to determine how they work and produce counters for them. This is often the case, along with runes for Curse Breakers."

"Thanks Madame Pomfrey, nobody has actually provided that information to me before. I need to see Professor McGonagall once you let me out of here so I can change my electives" explained Harry.

"I can pass on a message when I see her at Dinner if you want?"

"Thank You, I will write a note outlining what I want to do, if you could pass it to her and let me know if she wants me to stop in to discuss anything once I get out" said Harry.

Quickly Harry grabbed a quill and parchment and wrote a quick letter to his Head of House asking to drop Divination and take up Ancient Runes and Arithmancy instead.

Looking around the infirmary Harry looked at Hermione and thought she would be proud of his decision to change his electives, Ron on the other hand … he would have to wait and see.

While he still had his parchment and quill out Harry decided to draft his letter to Gringotts so he could send it as soon as he left the ward.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have recently become aware that I have been kept in the dark about a great many things in the Wizarding World, not least of which is my holdings at Gringotts.

I would like to make an appointment with the appropriate member of your staff to discuss my accounts and any other business that I might have at Gringotts upon my return to London from Hogwarts in two weeks' time.

Yours Respectfully

Harry James Potter.

Once he finished writing the letter, Harry noticed Hedwig flying into the Hospital Wing through one of the open windows.

"Hello girl, did you know I was writing a letter?" asked Harry.

Hedwig looked back at Harry as if to say, "Well of course I knew, what do you take me for, a common owl?"

"Here you are girl, take this to Gringotts, I have a feeling you will know who to leave it with when you get there" said Harry as he tied the letter to her leg.

Watching as Hedwig flew out of the Hospital wing, Harry wondered what would happen when he got back to London.

He would also need to contact his 'relatives' to make sure they didn't come to pick him up when the Express got into Kings Cross.
