The next day, Harry and Ron woke up and went down to the entrance hall to have breakfast where Hermione gave them their schedules. "Bloody hell! Double Potions with Slytherins next," Ron groaned and continued, "Then Double DADA. Hmm, just Gryffindor again." Harry shrugged and Hermione tapped them both on the shoulder. "Come on, we'll be late for potions." Harry and Ron quickly shoved the rest of their toast in their mouths and hurried off to Potions. They sat down quickly and just in time for Snape entered just after they sat down. He sneered at the class then turned around to face the board. "We will be making Invisibility Potions today. Get out your books and turn to page 56 and get out the ingredients." So saying, he wrote down the method and some notes and the class hurried to get out the ingredients. Malfoy just sat there while Crabbe and Goyle scrambled around for the ingredients. Harry and Ron got out their things and started slicing the incrum roots and pounding their scarab beetles. After adding the final touches to their potion, they washed their hand under the cold stream of water coming out from a gargoyle's mouth and sat down to take the notes on the potion that Snape had wrote on the board. Finishing, they sat, talking to each other, wondering what their next DADA class would be like and whether their new professor would be nice. Unbeknownst to them, Snape had somehow managed to come and stand behind them, unnoticed. "Well, well. It's the Dream Team. How could I have not split you up? No matter, I shall test your potion on one of you. No doubt, it will not work." He said in a soft and careless tone. Harry sat there rolling his eyes. "Right, your potion should now be ready. I shall test Potter's and Weasley's potion now." Snape barked as he approached Ron and Harry's table. He ladled some of the silver liquid into the cup and handed it to Harry. Harry took it and drank a small sip. He felt a strange tingling in his body that reached all the way to his fingers and his toes. He looked down but nothing was there. He lifted his arm and waved it in front of his face but there was nothing. The Gryffindors burst into applause and Snape, with a sour look held out a bottle. Harry drank a bit and reappeared. "Dismissed" Snape said and they all hurried out of the room. Ron, Harry, Hermione and the rest of the Gryffindor fifth years entered the classroom and sat down with their books on the desks. Professor Chiamudom entered and smiled at them all. "As you all must know by now, I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. In the light of Lord Voldemort's return, I must ask you to be patient and listen to everything that I have to say, as Professor Dumbledore wants me to prepare you should anything happen. My name is Sarina Chiamudom but not many people can pronounce my last name, so I would prefer you to call me Professor Tai as that is my nickname. Today I will answer some questions you might have about me for fifteen minutes and then we will get started. Anyone want to start?" She looked around at the classroom. Lavender Brown was the first to raise her hand. "Yes, Miss. Brown, if I am not mistaken?" Lavender nodded. "Where are you from?" Professor Tai smiled. "One of the first questions. Well, I am from Thailand and if you are wondering where I learned my English, it is because I was born in the United States of America and I have gone to English-speaking schools my whole life. It is my first language. Yes Miss. Granger?" Hermione had raised her hand. "Why did Professor Dumbledore contact you for the job? I haven't seen your name anywhere in Hogwarts." Professor Tai laughed. "As I said, I have gone to English-speaking schools. In Thailand, there is a very good wizarding school called 'Rongrean Mayagon'. Mayagon means magic in Thai and the professors there spoke only English to us." There was a sudden bang and the entire school shook. Professor Tai tripped a bit and exclaimed, "Arai wa?!?" and whipped out her wand. "Stay here," she told the class sternly and she opened the door and was pushed back in by three Death Eaters. "Multiplico Stupefy!" She yelled and all three Death Eaters were stunned. She stood up and brushed off her robes and gazed around the class. Harry suddenly jerked and sat rigid in his seat..
Voldemort was standing over a petrified Peter Pettigrew who was on the floor, trembling at his feet. "When will we get Dumbledore?" "S-soon, M- master. We m-must first get rid of the new p-professor. Sh-she is very proficient in her art." Voldemort kicked Pettigrew aside. "My dear Tai. Thinking she can hide from me at Hogwarts. Pettigrew! Order the Death Eaters to retreat from Hogwarts. We will attack later." He barked at Pettigrew. "W-when M-master?" Pettigrew asked. "Tonight," Voldemort replied, his voice dripping with menace.
Harry jerked back to reality where he found Ron, Hermione and Professor Tai standing over him, looking concerned. He grabbed Professor Tai's hand and stood up. "We have to go see Professor Dumbledore!" Professor Tai looked startled. "Very well. Miss. Granger, please watch the class. Just give them their homework assignment, minus the discussion on what we did in class. It's written on my desk." Harry then tugged on her arm, dragging her to Professor Dumbledore's office. "Whoa, slow down Harry. Don't pass his office!" Harry blinked and turned. He was standing in front of the gargoyle blocking the way to Dumbledore's office. Professor Tai grinned. "Tiramisu" she said and the gargoyle jumped out of the way. The two entered and walked up the stairway and knocked on Dumbledore's door. "Come in," came the soft voice and they entered. "Ah, Sarina, I see that you and Mr. Potter have come here, no doubt as an account on the attack of the Death Eaters, who I see are floating rather unceremoniously next to the door." Professor Tai grinned. Harry turned to see that the three Death Eaters were indeed floating next to the door, or rather bumping their heads on the ceiling. He turned back to face Dumbledore. Professor Tai spoke, "After the Death Eaters stormed my classroom, Mr. Potter here went rigid in his seat and blacked out. He later woke up and dragged me here so he could talk to you." She finished and watched Harry, as did Dumbledore. Harry took a breath and told Dumbledore about his dream. "And they're going to attack the school tonight!" he finished. Dumbledore stood up and paced the room while Harry and Professor Tai watched. Harry broke the silence. "Er-Professor Dumbledore? What're we going to do with the Death Eaters?" Professor Tai stood up. "Whoops, I think I should revive them now, should I not?" Professor Dumbledore looked at her and shook his head. "We should wait for the minister to come. In the meantime, they will stay in my office, Stunned." Professor Tai sat back down. Dumbledore continued. "We will have to evacuate the students to another place-" He was cut off by the door banging open and Snape coming in. He took one look and Harry and Professor Tai. "What is she doing here?" he snarled. Professor Tai looked up at him placidly. "Good day to you to Severus," she said. Dumbledore held up a hand to stop Snape. "What is so important that you had to come banging in my office for Severus?" Snape turned to look at Dumbledore. "The Dark Lord is planning an attack. He wants to get both you and Potter here." Dumbledore nodded. "I know. Harry here had another one of his 'dreams' in Sarina's class, which was disrupted by these gentlemen/ladies here," he said, gesturing toward the Death Eaters. Snape nodded. "Shall we evacuate the students to Site B then?" Dumbledore nodded. "Inform the professors, Head Boy and Girl and all the prefects. Tell them to meet in the Great Hall. We will do a mass Apparation. I will take down the charms on Apparation while it is being performed and it shall come back when we Dissaparate." Snape nodded and exited. Harry looked at Dumbledore. "Professor, Voldemort said something about Professor Tai here that she was trying to escape him?" Professor Tai sighed. "I was not trying to escape him, although it is tempting to forget about him. You see Harry, he came to my school in Thailand-remember I told you? Well, my school was actually a place where they were training potential witches/wizards to help fight the Dark Arts. Hence when Voldemort tried to destroy it, he and I had a duel. Neither of us won, as you see he and I are still here. However, just before he placed 'Avada Kedavra' on me, I cast a 'Twin Charm'. It lets the caster have the ability to Dissaparate while their 'Twin' is there to receive the blow. He took this to mean that I was a coward. In a way he was right. I should have stayed, it was I he wanted. When I Dissaparated, he destroyed the school. All my friends and professors died. I was the only survivor." She hung her head at the end of her story, tears falling down her face. Harry sat there staring at her and Dumbledore handed her a handkerchief. "I'm sorry," Harry said. Dumbledore patted Tai on her back and looked at Harry. We must start the evacuation process immediately. Please go to the Great Hall. I will be with you shortly." Harry stood up and looked at Professor Tai then exited. On his way to the Hall, he thought about Professor Tai's tale. 'I wonder if the same thing will happen to Hogwarts?' he thought.
