Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Page #3

Synopsis: After a lonely summer on Privet Drive, Harry returns to a Hogwarts full of ill-fortune. Few of students and parents believe him or Dumbledore that Voldemort is really back. The ministry had decided to step in by appointing a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher that proves to be the nastiest person Harry has ever encountered. Harry also can't help stealing glances with the beautiful Cho Chang. To top it off are dreams that Harry can't explain, and a mystery behind something Voldemort is searching for. With these many things Harry begins one of his toughest years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Terrible. Lost a lot of Galleons

trading on the potions market.

Daily Prophet, ladies and

gentlemen. Anybody for Daily Prophet?

Dumbledore:
Is he daft, or is he dangerous?

- Morning, Arthur.

- Morning, Bob.

Interdepartmental memos.

We used to use owls. Mess was unbelievable.

Merlin's beard. Thank you, Kingsley.

- They've changed the time of your hearing.

- When is it?

In five minutes.

Department of Mysteries.

And I'm confident, minister,

that you will do the right thing.

Yes, but we must be...

Remember, during the hearing,

speak only when you're spoken to.

Keep calm. You've done nothing wrong.

As the Muggles say, truth will out.

Yes?

I'm not allowed in, I'm afraid.

Good luck, Harry.

Disciplinary hearing of the 12th of August...

...into offenses committed

by Harry James Potter...

...resident at Number 4 Privet

Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey.

Interrogators:
Cornelius

Oswald Fudge, Minister of Mag...

Witness for the defense.

Albus Percival Wulfric...

...Brian Dumbledore.

You got our message that the

time and place of the hearing...

- ... had been changed, did you?

- I must have missed it.

But by a happy mistake, I arrived

at the Ministry three hours early.

The charges?

The charges against the

accused are as follows:

"That he did knowingly...

...and in full awareness of

the illegality of his actions...

...produce a Patronus Charm...

...in the presence of a Muggle."

- Do you deny producing said Patronus?

- No, but...

And you were aware that you were

forbidden to use magic outside school...

- ... while under the age of 17?

- Yes, I was, but...

Witches and wizards of the Wizengamot...

I was only doing it because of the Dementors.

Dementors?

In Little Whinging?

That's quite clever.

Muggles can't see Dementors, can they, boy?

- Highly convenient.

- I'm not lying.

- There were two of them, and if I hadn't...

- Enough.

I'm sorry to interrupt what I'm sure would

have been a very well-rehearsed story...

...but since you can produce

no witnesses of the event...

Pardon me, minister, but

as it happens, we can.

Please describe the attack.

What did they look like?

Well, one of them was very large

and the other rather skinny.

Not the boys. The Dementors.

Oh, right, right. Well, big.

Cloaked. Then everything went cold...

...as though all the happiness

had gone from the world.

Now, look here. Dementors don't

just wander into a Muggle suburb...

...and happen across a wizard.

The odds are astronomical.

I don't think anyone would believe...

...the Dementors were there

by coincidence, minister.

I'm sure I must have

misunderstood you, professor.

Dementors are, after all, under the
