   [YEAR 5 WORLD HORIZON & EPISTEMIC FENCE (1995–1996)]

   • Active School Year: Year 5 (September 1, 1995 – June 1996; Prologue/Summer: August 2 – August 31, 1995).
   • Baseline Canon Cutoff & Causal Precedence: All events of Years 1–4 (1991–1995) are completed history. Events scheduled for Year 5 ONLY occur when the in-chat calendar reaches their specific date—and ONLY if their causal prerequisites have not been altered in [Author's Notes]. CRITICAL OVERRIDE RULE: If [Author's Notes] states that Dolores Umbridge has been suspended/arrested, Cornelius Fudge has resigned, or Educational Decrees have been dissolved early (such as after an October 1995 raid), ALL subsequent canonical Umbridge/Decree/Inquisitorial Squad triggers are automatically voided and replaced by the [Author's Notes] world state.
   • School, Ministry & Order Status Quo (Start of Year 5 — Sep 1, 1995):
     • Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (stripped of his Supreme Mugwump, Chief Warlock, and Order of Merlin positions over the summer by Fudge's smear campaign; avoids eye contact with Harry all year fearing Voldemort will use their mental link to possess Harry).
     • Defense Against the Dark Arts / Ministry Interference: Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge (Senior Undersecretary to the Minister for Magic, appointed to Hogwarts on Aug 30, 1995 under Educational Decree No. 22). Teaches strictly non-practical theory from Wilbert Slinkhard's Defensive Magical Theory while enforcing a escalating series of Educational Decrees as Hogwarts High Inquisitor (Decree No. 23).
     • Care of Magical Creatures: Professor Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank covers the start of term while Rubeus Hagrid is away on Dumbledore's secret mission to the giants with Madame Maxime (Hagrid returns in November 1995 with his bruised face and secretly hides his half-brother Grawp in the Forbidden Forest).
     • 5th-Year Prefects (Appointed Aug 31, 1995): Ron Weasley & Hermione Granger (Gryffindor), Draco Malfoy & Pansy Parkinson (Slytherin), Ernie Macmillan & Hannah Abbott (Hufflepuff), and Anthony Goldstein & Padma Patil (Ravenclaw).
     • The Order of the Phoenix: Secret society founded by Albus Dumbledore to oppose Voldemort, headquartered at #12 Grimmauld Place, London (Sirius Black's ancestral family home, protected by the Fidelius Charm with Dumbledore as Secret-Keeper).
   • STRICT ANTI-SPOILER & PRE-TRAINING OVERRIDES (DO NOT VIOLATE):
     • The Lost Prophecy / "Weapon" Twist Lock: Throughout 1995–1996 (until Dumbledore explains it in his office on the night of June 18, 1996 after the Department of Mysteries battle), Harry and his friends know ONLY that Voldemort is hunting a mysterious "weapon" ("something he didn't have last time") locked inside the Department of Mysteries behind the corridor Harry dreams about. Nobody except Dumbledore (and Trelawney unconsciously) knows the full wording of Sybill Trelawney's 1980 Prophecy ("The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives"), nor that it could have applied to either Harry Potter (born July 31, 1980) or Neville Longbottom (born July 30, 1980).
     • Little Whinging Dementor Sender Lock: Nobody knows until June 1996 (or Umbridge's confession in the forest) that Dolores Umbridge was the one who secretly ordered the two Dementors to attack Harry in Little Whinging on August 2, 1995.
     • Horcrux & Years 6–7 Lock: Do NOT use the word "Horcrux" (strictly locked until Year 6; even though the heavy golden locket that none of them can open is tossed into the rubbish sack during August 1995 cleaning at #12 Grimmauld Place, it is treated purely as an unopenable curiosity). Do NOT reference the Half-Blood Prince's textbook, Felix Felicis, Slughorn, Snape's Unbreakable Vow, Dumbledore's cursed hand, or the Deathly Hallows unless explicitly introduced in [Author's Notes].

   [CUMULATIVE CHRONOLOGY: PRE-1991 & YEARS 1–4 (1991–1995)]

   • Pre-1991 Foundational Era:
     • 1942–1943: 16-year-old Tom Marvolo Riddle opens the Chamber of Secrets (killing Moaning Myrtle, framing Rubeus Hagrid and Aragog) and murders his Muggle father Tom Riddle Sr. and grandparents in Little Hangleton (Aug 1943, framing Frank Bryce).
     • 1971–1978 (Marauders & Snape's Worst Memory): James Potter (Prongs), Sirius Black (Padfoot), Remus Lupin (Moony), and Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) attend Hogwarts and create the Marauder's Map. After their 5th-year Defense O.W.L. exam (1976), James and Sirius publicly humiliate Severus Snape by the lake (Levicorpus / Scourgify), and when Lily Evans defends Snape, Snape calls her a "Mudblood"—shattering their friendship forever.
     • 1970s–1981 (First Order of the Phoenix & The Prophecy): In early 1980 at the Hog's Head inn, Sybill Trelawney delivers her First Prophecy during an interview with Albus Dumbledore; Severus Snape eavesdrops at the door, hears only the first half before being thrown out by the barman (Aberforth Dumbledore), and relays it to Voldemort. Voldemort targets the Potters; Peter Pettigrew betrays them as Secret-Keeper on Oct 31, 1981; Lily's sacrificial protection rebounds the Killing Curse, giving Harry his lightning scar and transferring part of Voldemort's powers (Parseltongue, mental link) into Harry. Pettigrew frames Sirius Black (sent to Azkaban without trial); Bellatrix, Rodolphus, and Rabastan Lestrange + Barty Crouch Jr. torture Frank and Alice Longbottom into permanent insanity.
   • Years 1–4 Summary (1991–1995):
     • Year 1 (1991–1992): Harry enters Gryffindor with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, becomes Seeker, receives his father's Invisibility Cloak, and defeats Voldemort-possessed Quirrell beneath the Trapdoor (Jun 4, 1992; Sorcerer's Stone destroyed).
     • Year 2 (1992–1993): Lucius Malfoy plants Tom Riddle's Diary on Ginny Weasley; Harry is revealed as a Parselmouth, slays Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk with the Sword of Gryffindor aided by Fawkes, destroys Riddle's Diary with a Basilisk fang (May 29, 1993), and tricks Lucius into freeing Dobby with a sock (May 30, 1993).
     • Year 3 (1993–1994): Sirius Black escapes Azkaban; Remus Lupin teaches Harry the corporeal Stag Patronus (Expecto Patronum); Fred and George give Harry the Marauder's Map; Sirius sends Harry the Firebolt; Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup; and on June 6, 1994, Pettigrew (Scabbers) is unmasked in the Shrieking Shack, spared by Harry, and escapes while Harry and Hermione use her Time-Turner to rescue Buckbeak and Sirius Black.
     • Year 4 (1994–1995): Escaped Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. impersonates Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody via Polyjuice Potion all year, enters Harry as Fourth Champion in the Triwizard Tournament alongside Cedric Diggory, Fleur Delacour, and Viktor Krum, murders his father Barty Crouch Sr., and turns the Triwizard Cup into a Portkey. On June 24, 1995 in Little Hangleton graveyard, Wormtail murders Cedric Diggory and resurrects Lord Voldemort using Tom Riddle Sr.'s bone, Wormtail's hand, and Harry's blood. Harry escapes Voldemort via Priori Incantatem, Barty Crouch Jr. is unmasked under Veritaserum and given the Dementor's Kiss by Cornelius Fudge's Dementor, Fudge refuses to believe Voldemort is back, Hermione traps beetle-Animagus Rita Skeeter, and Harry gives his 1,000-Galleon prize to Fred and George Weasley.

   [SUMMER 1995 TIMELINE (AUGUST 1995 — PROLOGUE TO YEAR 5)]

   • Aug 2, 1995 (Wednesday Night — Dementor Attack in the Alleyway between Magnolia Crescent & Wisteria Walk):
     • Kept completely in the dark all summer at #4 Privet Drive on Dumbledore's orders (while the Daily Prophet runs a covert smear campaign mocking Harry as an attention-seeking liar), 15-year-old Harry confronts Dudley Dursley (now Junior Heavyweight Inter-School Boxing Champion) in Magnolia Crescent.
     • Mundungus Fletcher (assigned by Dumbledore to tail Harry under an Invisibility Cloak after taking over from Arabella Figg) deserts his post to buy stolen cauldrons. In the narrow alleyway between Magnolia Crescent and Wisteria Walk, two Dementors (secretly dispatched by Dolores Umbridge) ambush Harry and Dudley. Harry casts his corporeal Stag Patronus (Expecto Patronum), driving both Dementors off and saving a traumatized Dudley.
     • Mrs. Arabella Figg rushes into the alley in her carpet slippers, revealing she is a Squib working for Albus Dumbledore; Mundungus Fletcher apparates back and is battered by Mrs. Figg's string bag of cat food before disapparating to warn Dumbledore.
     • The Owl Barrage at #4 Privet Drive: Minutes after Harry carries Dudley home, five owls arrive in rapid succession: (1) Mafalda Hopkirk's letter expelling Harry from Hogwarts and announcing Ministry representatives will destroy his wand, (2) Arthur Weasley's urgent warning not to surrender his wand or leave the house, (3) Mafalda Hopkirk's second letter (after Dumbledore stormed into the Ministry) suspending expulsion pending a disciplinary hearing at 9:00 AM on August 12th, (4) Sirius Black's note ordering Harry not to leave the house, and (5) Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia ("REMEMBER MY LAST, PETUNIA"—reminding her of his Nov 1, 1981 letter and the blood protection that keeps Harry safe so long as he can call #4 Privet Drive home), forcing Petunia to overrule Vernon and keep Harry in the house.
   • Aug 6, 1995 (Sunday Night — The Advance Guard & Arrival at #12 Grimmauld Place):
     • The Dursleys are lured out to a bogus "All-England Best Kept Suburban Lawn Competition" by a letter from Nymphadora Tonks. An Advance Guard of nine Order of the Phoenix members breaks into #4 Privet Drive using Alohomora: Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody (the real Moody), Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks (clumsy young Metamorphmagus Auror with spiky violet hair), Kingsley Shacklebolt (tall, bald Black Auror with a deep, slow, reassuring voice and gold hoop earring), Elphias Doge, Dedalus Diggle, Emmeline Vance, Sturgis Podmore, and Hestia Jones.
     • Flying on brooms from Surrey to #12 Grimmauld Place, London, Harry reads Dumbledore's handwritten slip to reveal the hidden house between #11 and #13, steps inside the gas-lit, troll-leg-umbrella-stand hallway (where Fred and George are eavesdropping on the Order meeting with Extendable Ears until Crookshanks eats one and Mrs. Black's portrait screams), explodes in pent-up anger at Ron and Hermione for keeping him in the dark, and learns over dinner that Voldemort is discreetly recruiting (especially trying to win over the giants) and hunting "something he didn't have last time" (which the Order is guarding on rotation).
   • Aug 7–11, 1995 (Cleaning #12 Grimmauld Place):
     • Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Ginny, Sirius, and Molly Weasley spend days decontaminating the drawing room of Doxys, Boggarts, and Dark objects—tossing out a heavy golden locket that none of them can open, a silver snuffbox of Wartcap powder, a flesh-clawing musical box, Regulus Black's effects, and an ancient purple cloak while the muttering, bigoted house-elf Kreacher steals Black family heirlooms (Bellatrix and Narcissa's portraits) to his den under the boiler.
     • Sirius shows Harry the Black Family Tapestry (Toujours Pur), pointing out where his mother Walburga Black blasted off Sirius, his disowned uncle Alphard (who left Sirius gold), and his favorite cousin Andromeda (who married Muggle-born Ted Tonks and is Nymphadora Tonks's mother, whereas Andromeda's sisters are Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy), as well as Sirius's younger brother Regulus Black (who joined the Death Eaters, got cold feet, and was killed 15 years ago) and showing how all pure-blood families (Weasleys, Malfoys, Lestranges, Crouches, Longbottoms) are interrelated.
   • Aug 12, 1995 (Saturday — Wizengamot Hearing in Courtroom Ten):
     • Arthur Weasley takes Harry via Muggle Underground and the red visitor's telephone box (62442 / MAGIC) into the Ministry of Magic Atrium (Fountain of Magical Brethren), down to his cramped office next to Perkins, where Kingsley Shacklebolt slips Harry a Daily Prophet while pretending not to know Arthur.
     • Because Fudge changed the hearing time from 9:00 AM to 8:00 AM and moved it to the old Death Eater dungeons (Courtroom Ten on Level 10) hoping Harry would miss it, Harry rushes down only to find the entire fifty-member Wizengamot presided over by Cornelius Fudge, Dolores Umbridge, Amelia Bones (fair-minded Head of the DMLE with a monocle), and court scribe Percy Weasley (who has estranged himself from his family after accepting a promotion as Fudge's Junior Assistant and accusing Arthur of lacking ambition).
     • Albus Dumbledore strides into Courtroom Ten as Counsel for the Defense, summons Mrs. Arabella Figg as an eyewitness to the two Dementors, cites Clause 7 of the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery (permitting magic in life-threatening situations even in front of Muggles), and points out that if Dementors are wandering a Muggle suburb, they are outside Ministry control. With Amelia Bones and the majority voting in Harry's favor (only Fudge, Umbridge, and ~6 others voting against), Harry is cleared of all charges and Dumbledore strides out without looking at or speaking to Harry.
   • Aug 31, 1995 (Thursday — Prefect Badges & Molly Weasley's Boggart):
     • Hogwarts letters arrive making Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger the new Gryffindor Prefects (Stunning everyone who expected Harry to be chosen; Molly buys Ron a brand-new Cleansweep Eleven broomstick as his reward).
     • During the celebratory party in the Grimmauld Place kitchen (attended by Moody [who shows Harry a 1981 photo of the Original Order of the Phoenix: Marlene McKinnon, Benjy Fenwick, Edgar Bones, Caradoc Dearborn, Gideon & Fabian Prewett, Dorcas Meadowes, Frank & Alice Longbottom, Emmeline Vance, Lupin, Elphias Doge, Dedalus Diggle, Aberforth, Hagrid, Sirius, Wormtail, Lily & James], Lupin, Tonks, Kingsley, Bill, and Mundungus), Molly Weasley tries to banish a Boggart in the upstairs drawing-room writing desk—which transforms in rapid succession into the dead bodies of Ron, Bill, Arthur, Fred & George (together), Percy, and finally Harry Potter.

   [YEAR 5 DATED SCHEDULE: SEPTEMBER – OCTOBER 1995 (CANON BASELINE)]

   • Sep 1, 1995 (Friday — Luna Lovegood, Thestrals & Umbridge's Speech):
     • Escorted to King's Cross by Moody, Lupin, Tonks, and Sirius Black (recklessly in his Padfoot dog form, which Lucius Malfoy spots on the platform and hints at to Draco). While Ron and Hermione attend the Prefects' carriage meeting, Harry, Ginny, and Neville (showing off his cactus-like Mimbulus mimbletonia gifted by Great-Uncle Algie, which squirts green Stinksap over everyone) share a compartment with 4th-year Ravenclaw Luna Lovegood (reading her father's magazine The Quibbler upside down with her wand behind her left ear and a butterbeer-cork necklace). Cho Chang stops by to say hello while Harry is covered in Stinksap.
     • Thestrals Visible for the First Time: At Hogsmeade Station, Harry is shocked to see that the "horseless" stagecoaches are actually pulled by skeletal, black, dragon-winged horses (Thestrals)—because Harry witnessed Cedric Diggory's death in June 1995; Luna Lovegood tells him she can see them too ("You're just as sane as I am").
     • Welcoming Feast: The Sorting Hat sings a new warning song urging the four Houses to unite against external mortal danger; Euan Abercrombie and Rose Zeller are sorted; Dumbledore introduces Professor Grubbly-Plank (covering for Hagrid) and Professor Dolores Umbridge (dressed like a large, fluffy pink toad), who interrupts Dumbledore ("Hem, hem") to deliver a soporific speech announcing that "the Ministry of Magic is interfering at Hogwarts" (recognized by Hermione). In the Gryffindor dormitory (password: Mimbulus mimbletonia), Seamus Finnigan clashes bitterly with Harry because his mother Mrs. Finnigan believes the Daily Prophet claims that Harry and Dumbledore are crazy.
   • Sep 2, 1995 (Saturday? No, Monday Sep 4, 1995 — First Day of O.W.L. Classes & Umbridge's Blood Quill Detention Assigned):
     • Morning & Afternoon: History of Magic (Binns on Giant Wars), Double Potions (Snape assigns Draught of Peace; vanishes Harry's potion for forgetting hellebore syrup), Divination (Trelawney assigns The Dream Oracle by Inigo Imago), and Defense Against the Dark Arts (Professor Umbridge):
       • Umbridge bans wands in class, orders students to read Chapter 1 of Wilbert Slinkhard's Defensive Magical Theory in silence, insists there is no need to use defensive spells in her classroom, and declares it a "lie" that Lord Voldemort has returned. When Harry shouts the truth about Voldemort murdering Cedric Diggory, Umbridge deducts 10 points from Gryffindor and gives Harry a week of evening detentions (5:00 PM Monday–Friday) with a note to Professor McGonagall (who warns Harry over a biscuit tin to keep his temper with Umbridge because she reports directly to Fudge: "Have a biscuit, Potter").
   • Sep 5–8, 1995 (Tuesday–Friday — First Week of Blood Quill Detentions & Keeper Tryouts):
     • 5:00 PM Every Evening (Umbridge's Office): Lined with pink lace drapes and frolicking kitten plates. Umbridge forces Harry to write I must not tell lies with her long, thin black Blood Quill—which uses no ink and slices the words into the back of Harry's right hand in his own blood, healing over each time only to cut deeper until it leaves a permanent white scar. Harry refuses to complain to Dumbledore or McGonagall, though Hermione soaks his bleeding hand in a yellow bowl of strained pickled Murtlap tentacles on Thursday night.
     • Fri Sep 8, 5:00 PM: Skipping his final detention to attend Angelina Johnson's Gryffindor Keeper tryouts? No—McGonagall deducts 5 points and adds another detention after Harry loses his temper again on Friday, forcing Harry to miss Friday's Gryffindor Keeper tryouts where Ron Weasley beats Cormac McLaggen and Geoffrey Hooper to become the new Gryffindor Quidditch Keeper! During Friday night's detention, Harry's scar sears with pain when Umbridge touches his hand (sensing Voldemort's euphoria).
   • Sep 9, 1995 (Saturday): Sturgis Podmore fails to show up to escort Harry's party (and is arrested the previous night trying to force his way through a top-secret door on Level 9 of the Ministry while under Lucius Malfoy's Imperius Curse, sentenced to 6 months in Azkaban). Percy Weasley sends Ron a pompous letter congratulating him on becoming Prefect and urging him to sever ties with Harry and warn Dolores Umbridge; Sirius Black appears in the Gryffindor fire that night, approving of the idea when Hermione proposes that Harry teach students practical Defense Against the Dark Arts himself.
   • Sep 11, 1995 (Monday — Educational Decree No. 23: Hogwarts High Inquisitor):
     • Fudge passes Educational Decree No. 23, appointing Dolores Umbridge as the first-ever "Hogwarts High Inquisitor" with power to inspect, place on probation, and sack fellow educators.
     • Umbridge inspects Divination (humiliating a flustered Trelawney and placing her on probation), Transfiguration (where McGonagall coldly shuts down every "Hem, hem" interruption), and Care of Magical Creatures (where she tries to bait Grubbly-Plank over Bowtruckles, and Harry loses his temper defending Hagrid, earning another week of Blood Quill detentions!).
   • Oct 5, 1995 (Saturday — First Hogsmeade Weekend & The Hog's Head Meeting):
     • In the filthy, goat-smelling Hog's Head pub (tended by Dumbledore's brother Aberforth, while Mundungus Fletcher spies in the corner disguised as a witch in a thick black veil and Willy Widdershins listens under dirty grey head bandages at the bar), Hermione Granger gathers 25 students (28 total with the Trio) to hear Harry out:
       • Attendees (28 Total): Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, Dean Thomas, Lavender Brown, Parvati Patil, Padma Patil, Cho Chang, Marietta Edgecombe, Luna Lovegood, Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, Colin Creevey, Dennis Creevey, Ernie Macmillan, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Hannah Abbott, Susan Bones, Zacharias Smith, Anthony Goldstein, Michael Corner (who is dating Ginny Weasley), Terry Boot, Ginny Weasley, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, and Lee Jordan.
       • After silencing skeptical Hufflepuff Chaser Zacharias Smith, all 28 students sign Hermione's enchanted parchment—which Hermione secretly hexed with a jinx that spells SNEAK in indelible purple pustules across the face of anyone who betrays the group!
   • Oct 7, 1995 (Monday — Educational Decree No. 24 & Sirius Attacked in the Fire):
     • Tipped off by Willy Widdershins (who overheard the Hog's Head meeting to avoid prosecution for regurgitating toilets), Umbridge posts Educational Decree No. 24, dissolving all student organizations, societies, teams, groups, and clubs of three or more students without High Inquisitor approval.
     • That night, Hedwig arrives in Grubbly-Plank's arms with a broken wing after being intercepted mid-flight. Sirius Black contacts Harry in the Gryffindor fire at midnight—only for Dolores Umbridge's stubby, ringed hand to grope into the flames to grab Sirius by the hair before he vanishes (revealing all Hogwarts fireplaces except Umbridge's own office are now monitored!).
   • Mid-Oct 1995 (Dobby's Discovery of the Room of Requirement & First DA Meeting):
     • Dobby wakes Harry in the night to return Hedwig healed and tells Harry about the "Come and Go Room" (The Room of Requirement) on the 7th floor opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy teaching trolls ballet.
     • At 8:00 PM, the 28 students hold their first secret meeting in the Room of Requirement, select Harry Potter as leader, adopt Ginny Weasley's name Dumbledore's Army (D.A.) ("the Ministry's worst fear"), and practice Expelliarmus in pairs.

   [YEAR 5 DATED SCHEDULE: NOVEMBER – DECEMBER 1995 (CANON BASELINE)]

   • Nov 1995 (Protean Charm Coins, "Weasley Is Our King", Life-Long Quidditch Ban & Hagrid's Return):
     • To schedule DA meetings around Quidditch practices without speaking in corridors, Hermione Granger enchants fake Galleons with a N.E.W.T.-level Protean Charm (when Harry changes the serial number on his master coin to the next meeting date/time, all members' coins heat up and change to match).
     • First Quidditch Match (Gryffindor vs. Slytherin): Slytherin wears crown-shaped silver badges reading Weasley Is Our King and sings Draco Malfoy's cruel song mocking Ron's nerves ("He cannot save a single thing..."), causing Ron to let in four goals. Harry catches the Snitch to win the match for Gryffindor (160–40). Enraged, Draco Malfoy insults Arthur and Molly Weasley and Lily Potter to their faces; Harry and George Weasley beat Malfoy bloody on the pitch while Fred is held back by the Chasers (Impedimenta from Madam Hooch).
     • Educational Decree No. 25: Overriding McGonagall's punishment of detentions, Umbridge imposes a lifelong Quidditch ban on Harry, Fred, and George and confiscates their Firebolt and Cleansweep brooms (chaining them in her office). Ginny Weasley replaces Harry as Gryffindor Seeker (with Andrew Kirke and Jack Sloper replacing Fred and George as Beaters).
     • Hagrid's Return & Tale: That night, Rubeus Hagrid returns to his cabin covered in cuts and bruises (steaks of dragon meat on his face) and recounts how he and Madame Maxime traveled through Poland and Belarus to the mountains to parley with the last 70–80 giants—where friendly Gurg Karkus was beheaded and replaced by brutal Gurg Golgomath, who allied with Walden Macnair and the Death Eaters while Hagrid and Maxime barely escaped the Aurors. Umbridge immediately inspects Hagrid's cabin at midnight, then inspects his first class of the year—where Hagrid teaches Thestrals inside the Forbidden Forest (visible only to Harry, Neville Longbottom [who saw his grandfather die], and a stringy Slytherin boy [Theodore Nott]) while Umbridge loudly treats Hagrid as a half-breed idiot.
   • Dec 18, 1995 (Final Pre-Christmas DA Meeting, Cho's Kiss & The Attack on Arthur Weasley):
     • Evening (Room of Requirement — Kissing Cho Chang): After the final autumn DA meeting (where students master Impedimenta, Reducto, and Stupefy), Cho Chang stays behind crying over Cedric Diggory beneath a sprig of mistletoe conjured by the Room, and Harry and Cho share their first kiss (which Harry afterward describes to a laughing Ron and Hermione as "wet" because she was crying).
     • Early Morning (1:00 AM — The Eye of the Snake): Asleep in his dormitory, Harry has a vivid, first-person vision from inside Nagini's body slithering down the Department of Mysteries corridor and striking Arthur Weasley repeatedly in the chest as blood splatters across the floor!
     • Dumbledore's Office (Fizzing Whizzbee): McGonagall rushes a vomiting, shaking Harry to Dumbledore's office. Without looking at Harry, Dumbledore wakes the portraits of Everard and Phineas Nigellus Black (Sirius's great-great-grandfather and most hated Headmaster in Hogwarts history, whose second portrait hangs in #12 Grimmauld Place) to alert the Ministry and Order. As Dumbledore turns to send Harry, Ron, Fred, George, and Ginny to #12 Grimmauld Place via a black-kettle Portkey, Harry locks eyes with Dumbledore for a split second and feels a surge of venomous hatred ("he wanted to bite Dumbledore..."), prompting Phineas Nigellus to relay Dumbledore's urgent message to Sirius at Grimmauld Place: "Stay where you are."
   • Dec 19–25, 1995 (St. Mungo's Hospital, Christmas at Grimmauld Place & The Closed Ward):
     • Dec 19: Accompanied by Moody and Tonks, Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys visit Arthur Weasley on the 1st-floor Dai Llewellyn Ward at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries (entered via the dummy window of ruined department store Purge and Dowse Ltd.). Using Fred and George's Extendable Ears, Harry overhears Moody and Tonks reveal that Dumbledore fears Voldemort is possessing Harry through their scar link! Terrified he is a danger to his friends, Harry isolates himself in Buckbeak's room until Ginny Weasley snaps him out of it—reminding him that she was actually possessed by Voldemort in Year 2 and that Harry has no memory gaps.
     • Dec 25, 1995 (Christmas Day — St. Mungo's Closed Ward & Occlumency Announcement):
       • At #12 Grimmauld Place, Percy Weasley returns his Christmas sweater unopened without a note; Kreacher takes a framed photo of Bellatrix Lestrange.
       • Visiting Arthur at St. Mungo's (where Healer Hippocrates Smethwyck and Trainee Healer Augustus Pye tried Muggle stitches before anti-venom worked, and where catatonic Unspeakable Broderick Bode lies in the bed opposite after being Imperiused by Lucius Malfoy to touch the Prophecy), Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny go up to the 4th-floor tearoom, run into Gilderoy Lockhart outside the Janus Thickey Ward (Door 49 — Permanent Spell Damage), and inside the ward discover Neville Longbottom and his grandmother Augusta Longbottom visiting Neville's insane parents Frank and Alice Longbottom (where Alice silently hands Neville an empty Droobles Blowing Gum wrapper, which Neville pockets instead of throwing away—leaving Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny stunned into silence on learning the secret Harry had kept).
     • Early Jan 1996 (Return to Hogwarts on the Knight Bus & Snape's Visit): Before returning to Hogwarts on the Knight Bus with Lupin and Tonks, Severus Snape visits #12 Grimmauld Place to inform Harry that Dumbledore has ordered Harry to take private Occlumency lessons with Snape starting Monday at 6:00 PM (provoking a wand-drawn confrontation between Snape and Sirius in the kitchen), and Sirius secretly slips Harry a wrapped Two-Way Mirror (which Harry resolves never to use because he fears it will lure Sirius out of hiding).

     • Mon Jan 8, 6:00 PM (First Occlumency Lesson): In Snape's dungeon office, Snape places his own silvery memories into Dumbledore's Pensieve for safekeeping and uses Legilimency ("Legilimens!") to invade Harry's mind—explaining that Voldemort can sense Harry's emotions and plant false visions unless Harry learns to clear his mind.
     • Mid-Jan (Mass Azkaban Breakout & Murder of Broderick Bode): Ten high-security Death Eaters—including Bellatrix, Rodolphus, and Rabastan Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov, Augustus Rookwood, and Mulciber—escape Azkaban as the Dementors defect to Voldemort (while Fudge absurdly blames Sirius Black!). Meanwhile at St. Mungo's, recovering Unspeakable Broderick Bode is murdered in his bed by a potted Devil's Snare sent disguised as a Christmas calendar gift so he cannot reveal he was Imperiused at the Department of Mysteries.
     • Educational Decree No. 26: Umbridge bans teachers from giving students any information not strictly related to their paid subjects. Meanwhile, galvanized by the breakout of his parents' torturers, Neville Longbottom works harder than anyone in the D.A. (becoming second only to Hermione at Expelliarmus and Stupefy).
   • Feb 14, 1996 (Valentine's Day Hogsmeade Date & The Quibbler Interview):
     • Morning (Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop): Harry takes Cho Chang on a Valentine's date to Madam Puddifoot's (cramped, steamy pink tea shop decorated with golden cherubs throwing confetti). The date implodes when Cho asks about Cedric's final moments, Harry mentions he has to meet Hermione at the Three Broomsticks at noon, and Cho storms out in jealous tears!
     • Noon (The Three Broomsticks): Hermione brings Harry to a table with Luna Lovegood and a chastened Rita Skeeter (whom Hermione blackmails into writing an unpaid, word-for-word front-page interview with Harry for Xenophilius Lovegood's The Quibbler recounting the truth of Voldemort's resurrection and naming every Death Eater in the Little Hangleton graveyard).
   • Mar 1996 (Educational Decree No. 27, Trelawney's Sacking / Firenze's Appointment & Betrayal of the D.A.):
     • When the March issue of The Quibbler arrives, Umbridge bans it under Educational Decree No. 27—guaranteeing that every single student in Hogwarts reads it covertly via transfigured covers (while Sprout gives Harry +20 pts, Flitwick slips him sugar mice, Trelawney predicts he will live to a ripe old age, and Cho Chang reconciles with him!). Umbridge docks 50 points from Gryffindor and bans Harry from Hogsmeade.
     • Sacking of Trelawney: Umbridge publicly fires Professor Trelawney in the Entrance Hall; Dumbledore intervenes—informing Umbridge that while she has the power to dismiss teachers, she has zero authority to banish them from the castle—and introduces the palomino centaur Firenze as the new Divination Professor (teaching in Classroom Eleven on the ground floor, transfigured into a forest clearing, after his herd banished and tried to kill him for serving Dumbledore).
     • Betrayal of the D.A. & Dumbledore's Flight: During the next D.A. meeting (where students practice corporeal Patronuses: Hermione's otter, Ron's Jack Russell terrier, Ginny's horse, Luna's hare, Cho's swan, Ernie's boar, Seamus's fox), Dobby bursts in to warn Harry that Marietta Edgecombe (Cho's friend) betrayed the group to Umbridge—triggering Hermione's hex to spell SNEAK in purple pustules across Marietta's face!
     • Draco Malfoy trips a fleeing Harry (+50 points to Slytherin) and drags him to Dumbledore's Office, where Cornelius Fudge, Percy Weasley, and Aurors Dawlish and Kingsley Shacklebolt are waiting. Kingsley secretly modifies Marietta's memory so she cannot implicate Harry; Dumbledore points out the parchment is titled "Dumbledore's Army", claims full responsibility for organizing the group himself, effortlessly knocks out Umbridge, Fudge, Dawlish, and Kingsley in a single flash of silver light, breaks McGonagall's nose? No, tells McGonagall and Harry to stay put, and vanishes in a flash of crimson flame grasping Fawkes's tail!
   • Apr 1996 (Educational Decree No. 28, Snape's Worst Memory, Career Advice & Fred & George's Flight):
     • Educational Decree No. 28: Fudge appoints Dolores Umbridge Headmistress of Hogwarts (though Dumbledore's office seals itself against her, forcing her to stay in her old office). Umbridge forms the Inquisitorial Squad (Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy Parkinson, Millicent Bulstrode, Graham Montague, and Cassius Warrington—with power to dock points even from Prefects!). When Montague tries to dock points from Fred and George, they shove him headfirst into the broken Vanishing Cabinet on the 1st floor!
     • Snape's Worst Memory & Career Advice: During an Occlumency lesson when Snape is called away to help Montague, Harry peers into the Pensieve and watches 15-year-old James Potter and Sirius Black bullying Snape by the lake (Levicorpus) and Snape calling Lily Evans a "Mudblood." Enraged, Snape throws Harry out and permanently terminates his Occlumency lessons. During Harry's 5th-Year Career Advice session, McGonagall vows before Umbridge to help Harry become an Auror if it is the last thing she ever does.
     • Fred & George's Legendary Departure: Using Umbridge's fireplace while Fred and George stage a diversion with Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs (dragon fireworks that multiply by 10 when vanished) and a Portable Swamp in the 5th-floor corridor, Harry contacts Sirius Black and Remus Lupin at #12 Grimmauld Place to ask about his father's bullying. When Umbridge corners Fred and George in the Entrance Hall, they summon their chained brooms ("Accio Brooms!") smashing through Umbridge's office door, announce their new shop at #93 Diagon Alley, order Peeves: "Give her hell from us, Peeves" (causing Peeves to salute them for the first time in history), and fly out into the sunset!
     • May 1996 (Grawp & Gryffindor Wins the Quidditch Cup): During the final Quidditch match (Gryffindor vs. Ravenclaw, where Ron Weasley finally plays brilliantly to inspire "Weasley Is Our King" as a Gryffindor anthem and Ginny Weasley catches the Snitch from Cho Chang to win Gryffindor the Quidditch Cup), Hagrid leads Harry and Hermione deep into the Forbidden Forest (past hostile centaurs led by Magorian and Bane) and reveals he has hidden his 16-foot giant half-brother Grawp tied to trees—making Harry and Hermione promise to look after Grawp and teach him English when Umbridge inevitably sacks Hagrid!

   [YEAR 5 DATED SCHEDULE: JUNE 1996 (O.W.L. EXAMS, DEPARTMENT OF MYSTERIES & THE LOST PROPHECY)]

   • Jun 1996 (First Two Weeks — O.W.L. Examinations & The Midnight Raid on Hagrid's Hut):
     • The O.W.L. Examiners: Elderly Professor Griselda Marchbanks (Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, who personally examined Dumbledore's N.E.W.T.s) and Professor Tofty arrive to administer the two-week Ordinary Wizarding Levels (O.W.L.s) across Theory (mornings) and Practicals (afternoons): Charms (Harry nails Wingardium Leviosa and color-change), Transfiguration (Harry forgets switching spell definition; turns an owl into opera glasses), Herbology (bitten by a Fanged Geranium), Defense Against the Dark Arts (Harry performs a corporeal Stag Patronus for Professor Tofty inside the Great Hall directly in front of Umbridge for bonus points!), Ancient Runes (Hermione mistranslates ehwaz as partnership instead of defense), Potions (Polyjuice theory; far smoother without Snape looming), Care of Magical Creatures, Divination (Harry's crystal ball rolls off the table), and Astronomy Practical (Wednesday Midnight on the Astronomy Tower):
       • The Raid on Hagrid's Cabin (Wednesday Midnight during Astronomy O.W.L.): From the top of the Astronomy Tower, the 5th-years watch Umbridge, Dawlish, and four Ministry wizards sneak down the lawn to arrest Hagrid. Stunning spells bounce harmlessly off Hagrid's giant blood; when Professor Minerva McGonagall charges out in her tartan dressing gown to stop them from attacking Fang, four Stunners hit McGonagall simultaneously in the chest without warning, requiring her to be transferred to St. Mungo's the next morning while Hagrid knocks out Dawlish and flees into the caves with Fang!
   • Jun 18, 1996 (Thursday — Final History of Magic O.W.L., The False Vision, Department of Mysteries & Sirius's Death):
     • 2:00 PM – 3:45 PM (History of Magic O.W.L. & Voldemort's Trap): At the very end of the exam, Harry falls asleep at his desk and receives a false vision planted by Voldemort: seeing Sirius Black being tortured with Crucio by Voldemort inside the Hall of Prophecy (Row 97).
     • 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM (Kreacher's Lie, Umbridge's Capture & Flight on Thestrals):
       • While Ron, Ginny, and Luna stand guard and stage a Garroting Gas distraction in the corridor, Harry and Hermione break into Umbridge's office under the Invisibility Cloak and use her fireplace to call #12 Grimmauld Place. Having intentionally injured Buckbeak to keep Sirius upstairs in the attic on Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange's orders, the house-elf Kreacher appears in the fire and lies to Harry that Sirius has gone to the Department of Mysteries!
       • Umbridge and the Inquisitorial Squad burst in holding Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Neville captive. Umbridge summons Snape for Veritaserum; Snape tells her she used up his last bottle on Harry (in reality fake Veritaserum), and Harry cryptically warns Snape: "He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden!" (which Snape pretends not to understand in front of Umbridge, then immediately checks Grimmauld Place and alerts the Order!).
       • As Umbridge prepares to use the Cruciatus Curse (Crucio) on Harry, Hermione fakes a breakdown and claims "Dumbledore's secret weapon" is hidden in the Forbidden Forest. Hermione and Harry lead Umbridge deep into the Forest straight into Magorian and Bane's herd of 50 centaurs—where Umbridge insults them as "filthy half-breeds" and Casts Incarcerous before the centaurs carry a screaming Umbridge away into the trees and Grawp inadvertently scatters the centaurs looking for "Hagger".
       • Rejoined in the Forest by Ron, Ginny, Neville, and Luna (who escaped the Inquisitorial Squad using Bat-Bogey Hexes, Reducto, and Stunning Spells), the six students mount a herd of six Thestrals (attracted by the blood on Harry's and Hagrid's robes) and fly to the Ministry of Magic in London.
     • Night (The Battle of the Department of Mysteries):
       • Taking the red telephone box (62442) through the empty Atrium down to Level 9, the six students enter the circular black room of twelve spinning doors (Hermione marks doors with Flagrate), pass through the Brain Room and the Death Chamber (The Veil Archway) into the Time Room and the cathedral-sized Hall of Prophecy.
       • At Row 97, Harry picks up the dusty glass sphere labeled: S.P.T. to A.P.W.B.D. / Dark Lord and (?)Harry Potter—and twelve Death Eaters step out of the shadows led by Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange (alongside Rodolphus & Rabastan Lestrange, Antonin Dolohov, Augustus Rookwood, Jugson, Walden Macnair, Nott Sr., Mulciber, Avery, and Crabbe Sr.), revealing that only the people about whom a prophecy was made can lift it from the shelf without going mad, and that Voldemort lured Harry here using a false vision!
       • The Running Battle Across the Chambers: Harry smashes the shelves behind them (Reducto) and the six students scatter across the Department of Mysteries:
         1. Hermione Granger silences Dolohov (Silencio) before Dolohov hits her with a purple curse-slash, knocking her unconscious.
         2. Ron Weasley is cursed in the face (causing him to giggle deliriously), summons an accretion-tank brain ("Accio Brain!") whose thought-tentacles strangle his chest, and Ginny Weasley's ankle is broken while Luna Lovegood is blasted across the Space Chamber.
         3. Neville Longbottom's nose is broken and his father's old wand is snapped by Dolohov, yet he refuses to let Harry surrender the prophecy even when Bellatrix Lestrange tortures Neville with Crucio.
         4. In the Death Chamber, the Prophecy Orb falls from Neville's torn robe pocket and shatters unheard on the stone steps just as Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Alastor Moody, and Kingsley Shacklebolt burst in!
         5. Death of Sirius Black: Albus Dumbledore arrives from the top of the chamber, rounding up the Death Eaters in anti-disapparation ropes; during his duel with his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius Black laughs and taunts her ("Come on, you can do better than that!")—and Bellatrix's second jet of red light hits Sirius squarely in the chest, knocking him backward through the tattered black Veil of the stone archway to his death!
         6. Atrium Duel (Dumbledore vs. Voldemort): Harry chases Bellatrix into the Atrium, hits her briefly with a righteous-anger Crucio, and is confronted by Lord Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore animates the golden Fountain of Magical Brethren statues to shield Harry, lock Bellatrix to the floor, and summon Ministry officials via the Floo fireplaces. Dumbledore and Voldemort duel to a standstill (Fawkes swallows a Killing Curse whole and bursts into flames to save Dumbledore); Voldemort possesses Harry's body, forcing Harry to endure excruciating agony until Harry's grief and love for Sirius ("I'll see Sirius again...") burn Voldemort so intolerably that Voldemort flees just as Cornelius Fudge, Dawlish, Williamson, and twenty Aurors arrive through the fireplaces and see Lord Voldemort in the flesh with their own eyes!
   • Jun 18–30, 1996 (Night — The Lost Prophecy Explained & End of Term):
     • Back in Dumbledore's Office (transported via a golden statue Portkey), Harry rages and smashes Dumbledore's silver instruments before Dumbledore breaks down in tears and reveals everything he kept from Harry for five years:
       1. Recounts how Kreacher lied to Harry and betrayed Sirius to Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix (which is why Snape was delayed before sending the Order).
       2. Shows Harry the complete 1980 Prophecy of Sybill Trelawney in the Pensieve, explaining how Voldemort's own choice to mark Harry (the half-blood) rather than Neville (the pure-blood) gave Harry the power to vanquish him, and that "either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives."
     • Aftermath: Fudge publicly admits Voldemort has returned in a special Daily Prophet edition, reinstates Dumbledore, and returns Hagrid; Umbridge is rescued from the Forest by Dumbledore (jumps in terror at the sound of hoof-beats when Ron clicks his tongue) and chased off the Hogwarts grounds by Peeves swinging McGonagall's walking stick and a sock full of chalk; Harry discovers Sirius's Two-Way Mirror in his trunk and learns from Nearly Headless Nick that Sirius chose to go "on" rather than become a ghost; and at King's Cross, Moody, Lupin, Tonks, Arthur, Molly, Fred, and George warn Vernon Dursley that they will be checking in on Harry if he is mistreated.

    • Sirius Black / "Padfoot" (1959–June 18, 1996):
      • Confined inside his hated childhood home (#12 Grimmauld Place) as Order headquarters on Dumbledore's orders; grows restless, reckless, and brooding (especially when Snape taunts him about not being able to do anything useful); gives Harry the Two-Way Mirror in Jan 1996; rushes to the Department of Mysteries on June 18, 1996 to save Harry, duels Antonin Dolohov and his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange, and is struck in the chest by Bellatrix's spell, falling through the tattered black Veil in the Death Chamber to his death.
    • Nymphadora Tonks ("Tonks" — Young Auror & Metamorphmagus):
      • Profile: Daughter of Ted Tonks (Muggle-born) and Andromeda Black Tonks (Sirius's favorite cousin; sister of Bellatrix and Narcissa). Qualified as an Auror in 1994 under Alastor Moody (scored top marks in Concealment and Disguise without studying because she is a natural Metamorphmagus who can change her hair color, nose shape, and appearance at will—usually sporting spiky bubble-gum pink or violet hair, though notoriously clumsy with household charms). Hates her first name "Nymphadora" ("Don't call me Nymphadora, Remus"). Duels Bellatrix Lestrange in the Department of Mysteries and is knocked unconscious.
    • Kingsley Shacklebolt (Senior Auror & Order Mole):
      • Tall, bald Black wizard with a deep, slow, calming voice and a single gold hoop earring; placed by the Ministry in charge of the Sirius Black manhunt—which he uses to feed the Ministry disinformation that Sirius is in Tibet! Secretly modifies Marietta Edgecombe's memory in Dumbledore's office in March 1996 to protect the D.A. and duels two Death Eaters at once (and Augustus Rookwood) in the Department of Mysteries on June 18, 1996.
    • Remus J. Lupin ("Moony") & Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody:
      • Lupin: Lives at #12 Grimmauld Place with Sirius; calme voice of reason; duels Lucius Malfoy and takes command in the Death Chamber on June 18, 1996, holding a screaming Harry back from following Sirius through the Veil.
      • Moody: The real, grizzled ex-Auror (missing his magical eye only when it gets stuck spinning after Barty Crouch Jr. wore it; cleans it in a glass of water); leads the Advance Guard and fights Antonin Dolohov in the Department of Mysteries.
    • Other Active Order of the Phoenix Members (1995–1996):

    • Kreacher (House-Elf of the House of Black):
      • Ancient, bullfrog-voiced, loincloth-wearing house-elf of #12 Grimmauld Place whose life's ambition is to have his severed head mounted on the wall beside his mother's. Fanatically devoted to Walburga Black's portrait and pure-blood ideology (muttering "Blood traitors, Mudbloods" under his breath because he believes no one can hear him). Exploits Sirius's careless Christmas shout ("Get out!") to visit Narcissa Malfoy and conspire with Bellatrix Lestrange—injuring Buckbeak on June 18, 1996 and lying to Harry in the fire to lure Harry to the Department of Mysteries.

    [CHARACTERS: DUMBLEDORE, MCGONAGALL, SNAPE, HAGRID, FIRENZE & GRAWP (YEAR 5 STATE)]

    • Albus Dumbledore (Headmaster):
      • Avoids looking at or speaking to Harry all year out of fear that Voldemort will sense how much Dumbledore cares for Harry and possess Harry to strike at Dumbledore; defends Harry at the Aug 12, 1995 Wizengamot hearing; protects Sybill Trelawney from eviction and hires Firenze in March 1996; claims sole responsibility for Dumbledore's Army and knocks out Umbridge, Fudge, Dawlish, and Kingsley to escape cleanly with Fawkes; duels Lord Voldemort in the Ministry Atrium on June 18, 1996; and tearfully explains the Lost Prophecy to Harry afterward.
    • Professor Minerva McGonagall (Deputy Headmistress / Head of Gryffindor):
      • Openly defies Dolores Umbridge's inspections ("Have a biscuit, Potter") and backs Harry's ambition to become an Auror during April 1996 Career Advice; struck in the chest by four simultaneous Stunning Spells without warning on Wednesday night in June 1996 when defending Hagrid from Umbridge's Aurors, spending days in St. Mungo's before returning on a walking stick at the end of term (+50 points each awarded to Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Ginny, and Luna).
    • Professor Severus Snape (Potions Master / Order Member):
      • Supplies fake Veritaserum to Umbridge; teaches Harry Occlumency from January to April 1996 until Harry views Snape's Worst Memory in the Pensieve; pretends not to understand Harry's cryptic warning ("He's got Padfoot at the place where it's hidden!") in front of Umbridge on June 18, 1996, then immediately checks on Sirius at Grimmauld Place and sends the Order to the Department of Mysteries.
    • Rubeus Hagrid & Grawp:
      • Hagrid: Returns in Nov 1995 from his mission to the giants with Grawp—his 16-foot-tall full-giant half-brother (son of giantess Fridwulfa), whom Hagrid brought back because the other giants were beating Grawp for being small. Keeps Grawp tethered to trees in the Forbidden Forest, teaches Grawp basic English ("Hermy", "Hagger"), and escapes Umbridge's midnight raid during the June Astronomy O.W.L.
    • Firenze, Magorian & Bane (Forbidden Forest Centaurs):
      • Firenze: Banished and nearly trampled to death by Bane and Magorian (the proud black-haired leader of the Forbidden Forest centaur herd) in March 1996 for agreeing to teach Divination for Albus Dumbledore in Classroom Eleven; teaches students that centaur astrology tracks vast, impersonal mars/planetary cycles over decades rather than human trivia; remains at Hogwarts permanently because he cannot return to the Forest until Hagrid is gone/safe.

    • Ministry of Magic Officials & Aurors:
      • Cornelius Oswald Fudge (Minister for Magic): Spends all of 1995–1996 in paranoid denial that Voldemort has returned, convinced Albus Dumbledore is plotting to seize the Ministry ("Dumbledore's Army!")—until he arrives in the Ministry Atrium on the night of June 18, 1996 and sees Lord Voldemort with his own eyes.
      • Madam Amelia Susan Bones (Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement): Square-jawed, gray-haired witch with a monocle and booming voice; aunt of Hufflepuff 5th-year Susan Bones.

      • John Dawlish (Auror): Tough, grey-haired Auror who got Outstanding in all his N.E.W.T.s; knocked unconscious by Dumbledore in March 1996, knocked out by Hagrid during the June 1996 midnight raid, and brought by Fudge to the Ministry Atrium on June 18, 1996.
      • Percy Ignatius Weasley (Junior Assistant to the Minister): Breaks with his family in summer 1995 after Arthur points out Fudge only promoted Percy to spy on the Weasleys and Dumbledore; acts as court scribe at Harry's August 12 hearing and Dumbledore's March 1996 confrontation; returns Molly's Christmas sweater unopened.

      • Lucius Malfoy (Field Commander): Leads the 12 Death Eaters to retrieve the Prophecy Orb for Voldemort; captured and imprisoned in Azkaban after the Prophecy shatters and Dumbledore binds the Death Eaters in the Death Chamber (destroying his spotless public reputation).
      • Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black — Escaped Azkaban Jan 1996): Tall, dark-haired, gaunt woman with heavily lidded eyes, vestigial beauty ravaged by 14 years in Azkaban, and fanatical, sadistic devotion to Voldemort; sister of Andromeda Tonks and Narcissa Malfoy; cousin of Sirius Black. Tortures Neville Longbottom (Crucio), kills Sirius Black through the Veil, defeats Tonks and Kingsley, and is the only Death Eater who escapes capture on June 18, 1996 when Voldemort grabs her and disapparates from the Atrium!
      • Other 10 Death Eaters Captured on June 18, 1996: Rodolphus Lestrange, Rabastan Lestrange (hit in the head by a glass bell jar containing a hummingbirds-to-egg time loop), Antonin Dolohov (casts the silent purple slash that critically injures Hermione and defeats Moody; immobilized by Harry and Dumbledore), Augustus Rookwood, Walden Macnair (hit through the eye by Neville jabbing Hermione's wand through his mask), Nott Sr. (injured early when Harry's Reducto collapses the prophecy shelves on him), Crabbe Sr., Jugson, Mulciber, and Avery.

      • Interior Layout: Gas-lit Entrance Hall with peeling wallpaper, a severed troll's leg umbrella stand (which Tonks constantly trips over), a row of shrunken house-elf heads mounted on plaques on the staircase wall, and the Screaming Portrait of Mrs. Walburga Black behind moth-eaten velvet curtains (screams "Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place!" whenever woken, setting off all other portraits); Basement Kitchen (long wooden table for Order meetings, roaring fireplace, and Kreacher's boiler-pipe den); 1st-Floor Drawing Room (olive-green walls, Black Family Tapestry spanning seven centuries); Upstairs Bedrooms (including Phineas Nigellus Black's portrait and Sirius's teenage bedroom decorated with Gryffindor banners, Muggle motorcycles, and bikini posters); and the Top-Floor Attic where Buckbeak is kept.

      • Hidden room on the 7th floor directly opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Barmy trying to teach trolls the ballet.
      • Activation: Walk past the blank stretch of wall three times while concentrating hard on what you need; a highly polished door appears leading to a room equipped with the exact facilities required (for Dumbledore's Army, it provides bookcases of Dark Arts defense tomes, silk cushions for Stunning practice, Dark Detectors, and later a whistle and mistletoe). Does NOT appear on the Marauder's Map.
    • St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries (London):
      • Entered by speaking to the ugly female mannequin in the display window of the derelict department store Purge and Dowse Ltd. and stepping through the glass:

        • Fifth Floor: Visitors' Tearoom and Hospital Shop.
    • The Ministry of Magic & The Department of Mysteries (London):
      • Visitor's Entrance: Red Muggle telephone box on a rundown London street; dial 62442 (M-A-G-I-C) to descend into the Atrium (Level 8; features the gold Fountain of Magical Brethren [wizard, witch, centaur, goblin, house-elf], security desk run by Eric Munch, and gold interdepartmental memos flying like paper airplanes).

        3. The Locked Room (Love): Door behind the Circular Room that stays permanently locked to both Alohomora and Sirius's enchanted knife—containing the most mysterious and powerful force of all: Love.
        4. The Death Chamber (The Veil): Large square stone amphitheater with sunken stone tiers surrounding a raised dais and an ancient, cracked stone archway hung with a tattered black Veil that flutters and whispers with the voices of the dead despite the still air; crossing through the Veil causes instant, irreversible death (Sirius Black).
        5. The Time Room: Long room filled with ticking clocks, a towering diamond-like bell jar containing a hummingbird hatching and reverting to an egg in a time-loop, and glass cabinets containing the Ministry's entire stock of Time-Turners (all smashed during the June 18, 1996 battle!).
        6. The Space / Planet Room: Dark room where models of the planets float in mid-air.
        7. The Hall of Prophecy: Cathedral-high room of towering shelves holding thousands of dusty glass Prophecy Orbs (Row 97 holds Trelawney's 1980 prophecy).

    [LORE & ITEMS: YEAR 5 ARTIFACTS, SPELLS, OCCLUMENCY, CREATURES & WEASLEYS' WIZARD WHEEZES (1995–1996)]

    • Key Year 5 Magical Artifacts:
      • The Prophecy Orb (Row 97, Hall of Prophecy): Small, dusty glass sphere glowing with pearly inner light, labeled: S.P.T. to A.P.W.B.D. / Dark Lord and (?)Harry Potter. Protected by wards that inflict instant madness on anyone who touches it other than the subjects of the prophecy (Voldemort or Harry Potter). Shattered on the steps of the Death Chamber on June 18, 1996 before Voldemort could hear it.
      • Sirius Black's Two-Way Mirror: Pair of small square mirrors originally used by James Potter and Sirius Black to talk in separate detentions; speaking the other person's name into one mirror summons them to the twin mirror.
      • Dumbledore's Army Protean Charm Galleons: Fake gold Galleons enchanted by Hermione Granger with a N.E.W.T.-level Protean Charm; when Harry changes the edge numerals on his master coin to the next D.A. meeting date and time, all 28 members' coins grow hot and display the new numbers.
      • Umbridge's Black Blood Quill: Long, thin, unusually sharp black quill that requires no ink—slicing the writer's own skin open to write in their blood.
      • Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Inventions (1995–1996): Extendable Ears (flesh-colored strings for eavesdropping under doors unless blocked by an Imperturbable Charm), Skiving Snackboxes (Puking Pastilles, Fainting Fancies, Fever Fudge, and Nosebleed Nougat—orange half triggers the illness to get out of class, purple half restores health), Headless Hats (2 Galleons; make the wearer's head invisible), Weasleys' Wildfire Whiz-Bangs (fireworks that multiply by 10 when vanished and stun when hit with Stupefy), and Portable Swamps.
    • Mental Magic & Spells Introduced in Year 5:
      • Legilimency ("Legilimens!") & Occlumency: Legilimency is the art of extracting feelings and memories from another person's mind (the mind is not a book to be opened at will); Occlumency is the magical defense of the mind against external penetration by clearing all emotion and thought.
      • Protego (Shield Charm): Creates an invisible wall that deflects minor to moderate hexes and jinxes back at the caster.
      • Levicorpus (Seen in Snape's Worst Memory): Hoists a victim upside-down into the air by the ankle.
      • Silencio (Silencing Charm): Renders the target completely mute.
      • Incarcerous: Conjures thick ropes out of thin air that coil tightly around the target.
      • Colloportus: Magically seals a door shut with a squelching sound.
      • Flagrate: Draws fiery red marks in mid-air with the wand tip (used by Hermione on the circular doors in the Department of Mysteries).
      • Scourgify (Scouring Charm): Cleans objects (or fills a target's mouth with pink soap bubbles, as Tonks uses to pack Harry's trunk and James uses on Snape in 1976).
      • Evanesco (Vanishing Spell): Makes objects (snails, mice, kittens, potions) vanish completely into non-being.
      • Bat-Bogey Hex (Ginny Weasley's signature hex; enlarges the target's bogeys into large black bats that fly out of their nose and attack their face).
    • Creatures & Plants Studied in Year 5:
      • Thestrals: Winged, skeletal, black reptilian horses with white pupil-less eyes and dragon-like faces; completely invisible to anyone who has not witnessed death and understood it. Possess an infallible sense of direction and fly at incredible speed; carnivorous (attracted to raw meat and blood). Hogwarts owns a domesticated herd started by Dumbledore with male Tenebrus.
      • Bowtruckles: Tiny, twig-like tree-guardians with two brown eyes and long sharp fingers (eat woodlice) that live in wand-quality trees and gouge at the eyes of anyone who harms their tree.
      • Mimbulus mimbletonia: Rare grey cactus covered inpulsating boils instead of spines (native to Assyria); squirts foul-smelling dark-green Stinksap when prodded (non-poisonous).
      • Murtlap Essence: Yellow liquid strained from pickled tentacles of rat-like coastal Murtlaps; soothes and heals raw cuts and Blood Quill wounds.
    • Year 5 Passwords:
      • Gryffindor Tower (Fat Lady): Mimbulus mimbletonia
      • Dumbledore's Office Gargoyle: Fizzing Whizzbee, Acid Pops
