Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

[INTRO]

## Plot

### Chapter 1: Dudley Demented

— Remus Lupin

### Chapter 4: Number Twelve Grimmauld Place

**George Weasley**: "*Hello, Harry. We thought we heard your dulcet tones.*"
**Fred Weasley**: "*You don't want to bottle up your anger like that, Harry, let it all out. There might be a couple of people fifty miles away who didn't hear you.*"
— The Weasley Twins, about Harry's anger

### Chapter 5: The Order of the Phoenix

**George Weasley**: "*What are Fred and I, next-door neighbours?*"
— Molly Weasley, praising Ron

### Chapter 10: Luna Lovegood

"*The girl gave off an aura of distinct dottiness. Perhaps it was the fact that she had stuck her wand behind her left ear for safekeeping, or that she had chosen to wear a necklace of butterbeer caps, or that she was reading a magazine upside down.*"
— Description of Luna

### Chapter 11: The Sorting Hat's New Song

"*I'll tell you what it means. It means the Ministry's interfering at Hogwarts.*"

### Chapter 14: Percy and Padfoot

— Sirius, about the Minister of Magic

### Chapter 15: The Hogwarts High Inquisitor

**Dolores Umbridge**: "*... none of [your previous teachers] - with the possible exception of Professor Quirrell, would have passed a Ministry inspection.*"

— Harry and Umbridge, during a DADA class

### Chapter 16: In the Hog's Head

"*... but you know, this is rather important, we're talking about learning to defend ourselves against V-Voldemort's Death Eaters.*"

### Chapter 17: Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four

"*Does this mean they're going to shut down the Gobstones club?*"

— Ginny, about the name of the group

### Chapter 19: The Lion and the Serpent

"*Even Fred had said that Ron might yet make him and George proud, and that they were seriously considering admitting that he was related to them, something he assured Ron they had been trying to deny for years.*"

### Chapter 20: Hagrid's Tale

**Ron Weasley**: "*Where are [the giants]?*"

### Chapter 22: St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries

"*Your father knew what he was getting into, and he won't thank you for messing things up for the Order!" said Sirius angrily in his turn. "This is how it is - this is why you're not in the Order - you don't understand - there are things worth dying for!*"
— Sirius, to Fred and George

### Chapter 23: Christmas on the Closed Ward

**Harry Potter**: "*I didn't want anyone to talk to me.*"
**Ginny Weasley**: "*Well, that was a bit stupid of you, seeing as how you don't know anyone but me who's been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels.*"
— Ginny talking to Harry

### Chapter 24: Occlumency

### Chapter 25: The Beetle at Bay

**Ron Weasley**: "*He used to be a Death Eater. And we've never seen proof that he really swapped sides*"

— Flick and Ron, about Snape

### Chapter 26: Seen and Unforeseen

"*You are quite right, of course, Professor Umbridge. As High Inquisitor you have every right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to send them away from the castle. I am afraid," he went on, with a courteous little bow, "that the power to do that still resides with the Headmaster, and it is my wish that Professor Trelawney continue to live at Hogwarts.*"
— Dumbledore, to Umbridge

### Chapter 27: The Centaur and the Sneak

"*You seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to - what is the phrase? 'Come quietly.' I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course - but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.*"
— Dumbledore, about going to Azkaban

### Chapter 28: Snape's Worst Memory

"*What was making Harry feel so horrified and unhappy was not being shouted at or having jars thrown at him - it was that he knew how it felt to be humiliated in the middle of a circle of onlookers, knew exactly how Snape had felt as his father had taunted him, and that judging from what he had just seen, his father had been every bit as arrogant as Snape had always told him.*"
— Harry, about Snape's memories

### Chapter 29: Careers Advice

"*Potter. I will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to coach you nightly I will make sure you achieve the required results!*"
— McGonagall, to Harry and Umbridge

### Chapter 30: Grawp

**Hagrid**: "*They were bullyin' him, Hermione, 'cause he's so small!*"
**Hermione**: "*Small? Small?*"
**Hagrid**: "*Hermione, I couldn't leave him. See - he's my brother!*"
— Hagrid, about Grawp

### Chapter 31: O.W.L.s

"*[Ron] made Harry feel rather better by telling him how he told the examiner in detail about the ugly man with a wart on his nose in his crystal ball, only to look up and realise he had been describing his examiner's reflection.*"
— Ron's Divination O.W.L. exam

### Chapter 32: Out of the Fire

"*The Cruciatus Curse ought to loosen your tongue.*"
— Umbridge, to Harry

"*Very good, Potter. Now turn around, nice and slowly, and give that to me.*"
— Lucius Malfoy, to Harry

### Chapter 35: Beyond the Veil

"*And Harry saw the look of mingled fear and surprise on his godfather's wasted, once-handsome face as he fell through the ancient doorway and disappeared behind the veil, which fluttered for a moment as though in a high wind and then fell back into place.*"
— Sirius' death

### Chapter 36: The Only One He Ever Feared

"*Indeed, your failure to understand that there are things much worse than death has always been your greatest weakness.*"
— Dumbledore, to Voldemort

### Chapter 37: The Lost Prophecy

"*Because you are not nearly as angry with me as you ought to be. If you are to attack me, as I know you are close to doing, I would like to have thoroughly earned it.*"
— Dumbledore, to Harry

### Chapter 38: The Second War Begins

**Vernon Dursley**: "*Are you threatening me, sir?*"
**Alastor Moody**: "*Yes, I am.*"
