This is my oneshot for kitty132383's challenge, Thing's I'm not allowed to do at Hogwarts.

A discussion with Madame Pomfrey at the end of 2nd year changes Harry's outlook on his future. No longer willing to spend his time lazing about, Harry gets serious about schoolwork. How will this and a few other changes revealed to the students at the start of the next school year affect the final outcome? More Inside.

A humane depository for all the annoying little plot bunnies that crop up while I try and write longer stories, these also double as challenges. Rated M for safety.
