Author: By Yakub Susanto

Simple Synopsis:

After a lonesome summer on Privet Drive, Harry returns to Hogwarts to begin his fifth year there for one of his most difficult years yet. He's desperate to find out why his friends Ron and Hermione have been so secretive all summer, and not only he must study for his OWL exams, but Harry Potter discovers that much of the wizarding world, including the Ministry of Magic, didn't believe in him or Dumbledore's warnings of Lord Voldemort's return. In retaliation, the ministry had decided to step in by appointing a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in order to keep en eye on Hogwarts.

The Order of the Phoenix, a group sworn against Voldemort, is using its vast array of wizards and witches magical abilities to combat Voldemort. Meanwhile, a new witch assumes control at Hogwarts, throwing the entire school into chaos. To top it off are dreams that Harry can't explain, and a mystery behind something Voldemort is searching for.

Harry is forced to confide his trust within a different force and discover that his new year at Hogwarts will turn his world upside down.
