Harry Potter is sitting in the playground watching a mother and her children bond. Dudley Dursley and his friends Piers and Malcolm walk over to Harry and Dudley starts making fun of Harry. Harry pulls out his wand and points it at Dudley and Piers and Malcolm laugh. It suddenly becomes very cloudy and windy and Piers and Malcolm run away. Harry and Dudley run towards a walking underpass and are then attacked by Dementors. Harry casts Expecto Patronum and saves himself and Dudley. As he is checking to make sure Dudley is okay, Mrs. Arabella Figg walks up to Harry and she advises him not to put away his wand in case the Dementors come back. She explains to Harry that Albus Dumbledore asked her to keep an eye on Harry. Aunt Petunia Dursley is watching the news where TV Weatherman is talking about how hot the weather is. Aunt Petunia sees Dudley, who is in a daze and tells Uncle Vernon Dursley to come over. Uncle Vernon asks Dudley who did it to him, and Dudley points at Harry. A letter from the Ministry of Magic arrives and Mafalda Hopkirk's voice rings out and she accuses Harry of breaking the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery and therefore, he is expelled from Hogwarts. Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia take Dudley to the hospital and Harry apologizes to Hedwig for getting angry and looks at his photo of James Potter and Lily Potter and then remembers the murder of Cedric Diggory at the hands of Voldemort.
He wakes up to someone opening the door to his room and Nymphadora Tonks, Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Elphias Doge, and Emmeline Vance walk in and Alastor tells him they are here to save him. Kingsley tells Harry that Dumbledore persuaded Cornelius Fudge to hold a trial before expelling Harry. They go to Grimmauld Place where Sirius Black is having a meeting with Mr Weasley, Professor Lupin, Professor McGonagall, and Mrs Weasley. Mrs Weasley directs Harry upstairs and as Harry is walking upstairs, he hears Kreacher complaining about the members of the Order of the Phoenix being in the home. Harry goes into the room and is greeted by Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. They tell him, Grimmauld Place is the headquarters for the Order of the Phoenix. Fred Weasley and George Weasley appear and use a listening ear to spy on the meeting going on, which also includes Professor Snape. Ginny Weasley walks down the stairs and Crookshanks sees the listening ear and eats it. The meeting ends and Harry says hello to everyone and Sirius gives him a hug. Kingsley hands Harry a newspaper where Fudge is accusing him and Dumbledore of lying about Voldemort. Sirius tells Harry that Voldemort has been trying to recruit followers and that Voldemort is trying to get something he didn't have last time.
The next day, Harry is taken to face trial in front of the Wizengamot by Mr Weasley. Newspaper Vendor is selling copies of the Daily Prophet calling Dumbledore daft. In the elevator, Mr Weasley says hello to Bob. The Voice of Lift tells them when they arrive at the Department of Mysteries. Harry and Mr Weasley see Fudge speaking to Lucius Malfoy, who is trying to convince Fudge to convict Harry. The trial starts and Dumbledore arrives just in time after not being told the trial would start early. Harry tells the Wizengamot, which includes Dolores Umbridge and Amelia Bones, that he used magic to fight against the Dementors in order to save Dudley. Mrs. Arabella Figg takes the stand and describes the Dementors. A vote is taken and Harry is cleared of the charges. Harry goes to leave for Hogwarts, but before he does, Sirius gives him a photo of the original Order of the Phoenix, which included Neville Longbottom's parents. Harry takes the train to Hogwarts and when he arrives, Draco Malfoy, along with Crabbe and Goyle, starts harassing Harry.

He then introduces Dolores as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Dolores interrupts Dumbledore and tells the students that the Ministry of Magic is very concerned about their education. Harry walks into the Gryffindor common room and says hello to Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas. Seamus tells Harry, his mom almost prevented him from coming back to Hogwarts on account of what the Daily Prophet has been reporting about Harry and Dumbledore. Harry calls Seamus and his mom stupid and Ron comes to Harry's defense. In class, Parvati Patil watches as Padma Patil levitates a paper bird and sends it flying around class. Dolores destroys the paper bird and then tells the class that she will focus on teaching them to pass the Ordinary Wizarding Levels or OWLs. Dolores tells the class that the idea that Voldemort is alive is a lie and as Harry argues with her, orders Harry to see her after class for detention. For detention, Harry is forced to write "I must not tell lies" using a special quill, and as he does, the words are etched into his hand.
Fred and George are showing classmates their candies that can make them ill in order to miss class. Hermione notices the wound on Harry's hand and wants Harry to report it, but he refuses.

She tells Harry about the Thestrals and how only people who have seen death can see them. She tells him that both she and her dad believe Harry about Voldemort. She then tells him that Voldemort would want Harry to think he is alone. Dolores and McGonagall have an argument about Harry's punishment and Dolores declares that things at Hogwarts are worse than the Ministry thought. Mr Filch posts a decree stating that Dolores has been appointed as the Hogwarts High Inquisitor. Dolores starts to questions the professors and creates increasingly more and more decrees including the banning of all Weasley products. As she is monitoring Professor Flitwick and the choir perform, she uses a measuring tape to measure Flitwick. She asks Professor Sybil Trelawney to predict something and Trelawney tells her that she is in grave danger. Trelawney is fired by Dolores and Dolores has Filch bring Trelawney's things out to the courtyard. Dumbledore walks out into the courtyard and has McGonagall bring Trelawney's things back inside and tells Dolores she can only fire professors, not expel them from Hogwarts.
