*looks over, and blinks at her* ...Mrs. Prince *straightens up, tugging on his sleeves* Not that I would ever endanger the Minister of Magic. *looking at her, with his best innocent look*
*smiles languidly, completely at ease* No, of course not, Headmaster. Your apology is accepted, though *pauses, pursing her lips in feigned humility* I hope you won't think it too forward of me to add that a man in your position ought not to be making jokes at all.
*raises an eyebrow* Things have been rather precarious for you lately, have they not? There's talk of closing the school if the situation can't be resolved.
*bristles just slightly but keeps his voice smooth and unaffected* If nothing else it was a bit of gallows humor.
*tugs on his sleeve again before becoming a little too still to be natural: wondering why he's feeling like a sixteen year old suddenly* And I have every faith in the Ministry's ability to find out whoever is behind these attacks, and Hogwarts...will do whatever is in the best interests of the students.

It was a joke in poor taste, and I apologize.
