“Did you just come from the Undercroft?! How did you get in there?!” Ominis was furious at having found the new fifth year at its entrance. “Don’t lie to me, no one stumbles upon that room!” He paused, putting the pieces together, “Sebastian told you, didn’t he? You breathe a word about this place to anyone and not even your precious Professor Fig will be able to help you. My father is friends with the headmaster, I’m not afraid to exploit that connection if I need to.”

He frowned as he threatened the new fifth year, betrayal and anger boiling inside of him as he stormed off to lecture Sebastian, leaving the new student without a chance to speak again.
