Chapter 26 Order of the Phoenix Seen and Unforseen. Harry's interview is published, he has a serious dream, and Professor Trelawney is ejected.
Harry chats with Hermoine about Cho and finally realizes why Cho was jealous. After a bad quidditch game, Harry goes to bed and has strange dreams. The next morning, Harry is deluged with owl messages as his interview is published. Some believe him and some don't.
Umbridge is furious and docks Harry 50 house points and gives him a week of detention for "lying". She creates decree 27, that no student can read the Quibbler. Of course they all do and are quite impressed. Harry names all the Death Eaters in his article so Malfoy and friends are quite upset.
He goes to sleep and has a vivid dream where he knows he is Voldemort, upset with Rookwood, a minion. The next day in talking with Hermoine and Ron they remember that Sturgis was arrested trying to get in a door - probably the door at the Mysteries hall.
In his next lesson with Snape, Harry actually gets enough focus to cast Protego and sees in Snape's mind how Snape was picked on and harassed as a kid. Snape is angry and says to try again.
This time Harry thinks about the dark corridor and actually for the first time goes in the door - seeing a room full of candles. When Snape wakes him up, Snape is truly furious with Potter for being able to see that room. But a scream interrupts them.
It's Professor Trelawney, being ejected from Hogwarts. Umbridge is quite happy with this. Dumbledore points out that while Trelawney can be stripped of her job, she can stay at Hogwarts as a guest. And Dumbledore says that Umbridge can't appoint the new teacher because he's already found one - Firenze the centaur.
