Faced with the Metals professor's statement, Kabadaba replied impatiently.
"If I managed to enlist into the ministry of magic successfully, the first thing I'll do is fire you guys! I tell you, I'm not part of any underground factions nor am I a Death Eater*, there's nothing in the basement except rats and cobwebs! Previously another batch appeared and fouled the atmosphere, now you guys want to continue disturbing my research!"
(TN:*Death Eaters are the followers of Voldemort)
"Shut up, I believe you're stalling for time." The Metals professor gnashed out. "We've discovered the smell of a death eater from your basement's fireplace. The Ministry of Magic has reasonable grounds to suspect your involvement in illegal activities. We will use floo powder to test our your fireplace definite orientation, if we find anything wrong then prepare for Azkaban."
