Chapter 1: Dudley Demented

Harry Potter is enduring another stifling summer at the Dursleys' house, feeling cut off from his friends and the magical world. His frustration grows as he receives no news about Voldemort's return. One hot evening, Harry goes for a walk and encounters his cousin Dudley bullying a local boy. As they head home, they are suddenly attacked by Dementors. Harry uses a Patronus Charm to save himself and Dudley. Mrs. Figg, a neighbor who reveals herself to be a Squib, arrives and explains she has been watching over Harry on Dumbledore's orders. Back at the Dursleys’, Harry receives a letter from the Ministry of Magic expelling him from Hogwarts for using magic outside school. He gets another letter from Mr. Weasley advising him to stay put, and one from Sirius Black, encouraging him to keep calm and wait for instructions. The Dursleys are confused and angry about the influx of owls. Harry's explanation about the Dementor attack is met with disbelief. Petunia Dursley unexpectedly shows some knowledge about Dementors, hinting at her connection to the magical world. The chapter ends with Harry in his room, feeling isolated and anxious about his impending hearing and the threat of expulsion from Hogwarts.
