The arrival of a letter for Dean from [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]] caused [[Dean Thomas's mother|Mrs Thomas]] to suspect that [[Dean Thomas's father|Dean's biological father]] may have been a [[Wizards|wizard]], which he was.

In his [[second year]], Dean Thomas joined the [[Duelling Club]], a precautional club taught by [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] in an attempt to train students in battle against any [[Salazar Slytherin's Basilisk|possible danger]] that may be lurking around Hogwarts. He, among other students, shared their speculation about the [[Chamber of Secrets]] and what might be inside and how to get in. Dean was about to make a correct speculation, but Professor Binns cut him short before he could finish. Dean was believed to be at risk of being attacked as he was a presumed Muggle-born and Muggle-born students were being attacked through the year.

In Dean's third year, he would have been now allowed to visit the village of [[Hogsmeade]], and he expressed positive interest in the new [[Care of Magical Creatures]] teacher [[Rubeus Hagrid]] as he always got on with him. However, in their first lesson when Hagrid introduced the class to a [[hippogriff]] named [[Buckbeak]], Dean stepped back and showed fear when Hagrid asked for a volunteer to pet him. Also in this year Dean would take on the subject Divination and was, along with Lavender Brown, one of the few students in their class unfamiliar with the Grim.<ref name="POA" /> That year, Hogwarts became under the protection of [[Dementor|Dementors]] following the hysteria surrounding the [[Azkaban escapes|Azkaban escape]] by [[Sirius Black]].

During Dean's fourth year, Hogwarts hosted the [[Triwizard Tournament]], and his friend, Harry Potter had qualified as an under-aged champion. This was against tournament rules, so Harry was not the popular choice for Hogwarts representative, and instead most support was given to [[Cedric Diggory]] by Dean's peers. However Dean supported Harry throughout the course of the tournament, and was loyal to his friend.

Dean would also be allowed to attend the [[Yule Ball]] as part of the tournament traditions. He commented that Harry and Ron were lucky to get the prettiest girls in the year as their dates, twin sisters [[Parvati and Padma Patil]]; it is unknown who Dean attended the dance with, as his best friend [[Seamus Finnigan]] was going with [[Lavender Brown]] and [[Neville Longbottom|Neville]] was going with [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]].

During Dean's [[1995–1996 school year|fifth year]], [[Dolores Umbridge]] was appointed to Hogwarts school to act as the "eyes of the Minister." Umbridge did not get along well with Dean; during her first lesson, they argued openly about their opinions on the teaching methods at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry|Hogwarts]]. She called [[Remus Lupin]] a "''dangerous half-breed''," which caused Dean to jump in to his defence, claiming that he was the best teacher he ever had, and commenting in response to Umbridge's comments that her [[Alastor Moody|predecessor]] had actually performed curses on them that the man in question had "''turned out to be a [[Bartemius Crouch, Jr|maniac]]''", although he noted that they had still learned a great deal. He also was very supportive of Harry's claims that Voldemort had returned.

She eventually caused an uproar amongst the students, and when it came time to fight back, Dean was one of the first to arrive for the inaugural meeting of the group that became [[Dumbledore's Army]] in [[1995]], and his support for his friends does not appear to have faltered, even though Seamus, his best friend, initially believed the smear campaign the ''[[Daily Prophet]]'' launched against Harry and [[Albus Dumbledore]] over their claims that [[Tom Riddle|Lord Voldemort]] had returned.

Also that year, Dean accidentally insulted his new [[Divination]] teacher, [[Firenze]], after Umbridge sacked [[Sybill Trelawney]]. Firenze was telling Dean that he had been banished by his herd living in the [[Forbidden Forest]], and Dean was excited to discover there were more centaurs around the school grounds and asked him if Hagrid was breeding them. Firenze told Dean that centaurs were their own race and had little to do with humans and did not require their help to breed, which caused Dean to become extremely embarrassed.

During his fifth year, Dean took his [[Ordinary Wizarding Level|O.W.L.]] exams, and after he finished, he was pleased to hear that the results would not arrive until sometime in [[July]], meaning he did not have to worry about them until the middle of the school holidays. Later in the year, Umbridge and her [[Inquisitorial Squad]] would discover the D.A. and the meeting would end for the year. Some time around the end of his fifth year, Dean became romantically involved with [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]]<ref name="OTP">''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]''</ref> and the two continued dating well into his sixth year.

In his [[1996–1997 school year|sixth year]], Dean replaced [[Katie Bell]] as the [[Chaser]] for the [[Gryffindor Quidditch team]] after she was hospitalised for touching a [[Opal necklace|cursed necklace]]. At first, Dean's relationship with Ginny, which continued into his sixth year, seemed to be strong, as the couple spent a lot of time together, in spite of her [[Ronald Weasley|brother]]'s disapproval. But their relationship started to spiral downwards; Ginny had started to fall in love with [[Harry Potter]], and she soon became angry with Dean after he laughed when Harry was hit by a [[Bludger]] during a [[Quidditch]] game. As a result, Dean became overly solicitous with her, trying not to provoke another argument, to keep their relationship going, which increasingly annoyed Ginny.

According to [[Hermione Granger]], when Harry bumped into Ginny while under his [[Cloak of Invisibility|Invisibility Cloak]] and under the influence of [[Felix Felicis]], Ginny believed that it was Dean who kept trying to help her through the portrait hole, and the two argued over it. Dean stuck to his grounds, saying he did not help her through and Ginny ended their relationship. Dean was shocked at the insensitivity of his friend, Harry, when this happened. Harry and Ginny shared a kiss at a Quidditch party soon after she broke up with him, and Dean broke his glass in astonishment that his room-mate and ex-girlfriend would start a romance so soon. Despite this, Dean shared no hate to either Ginny or Harry for their relationship; he was just hurt they would do such a thing so shortly after he was dumped.

The same year was also the year that the headmaster of Hogwarts school, [[Albus Dumbledore]] was killed. Dean Thomas attended his funeral with his best friend Seamus Finnigan after Seamus had rowed rather publicly with his mother to allow him to stay for the ceremony.
