The kid was going to get a word or two, when this meeting was up and over. Could have sent an owl, or a patronus, or a warning of some sort.

Glancing down at the article, Sabel found himself letting out another breath. Of course. That thing was following him around like a rabid dog. The look he returned to the Headmistress was neutral. He didn't need to read it. He'd done that enough. So what did she want from it? What was the Headmistress of Hogwarts doing, pulling an Auror aside over some Daily Prophet article?

Sabel listened to her words quietly, trying to sauce out the meaning of the meeting and where this was all going. Was she trying to protect Sander from what they perceived was a dangerous meeting? Or was she worried, with the history of the Cult and it's involvement of Hogwarts, that her school and her students were at risk? Or was it both?

He shook his head at the offer of a drink, interlacing his fingers together in a ball on the table as he leaned forward a little, watching her eyes carefully. "I appreciate the vote of confidence, Ms. Truebridge. Your cousin is a good guy. I owe him my life. And I have heard good things about your leadership at Hogwarts."

If the truth was told, he didn't care to try to defend himself or the MLE. They had done enough for everyone, that a defense shouldn't even be required. But, he did owe Sander and he could more than appreciate the Headmistress's position. He spread his hands. "So, what is it I can do for you?"

He'd answer what questions he could, and put what fears at ease that he could. After all, it was about all he could do. It was hard to defend against a fear mongering newspaper.

He didn't like the article, eh? Anastasia found it difficult not to smirk, as per her usual, and instead left for a brief moment to get a gillywater. She returned to her seat quickly and smoothly, not missing a bit of their conversation. She was a bit surprised ~~and pleased~~, however, to hear that he... approved of her leadership?

"You could do a lot for me, actually, Mr. Dakest, and for your alma mater." She took a small sip of her gillywater. "Hogwarts needs to be a safer place. I think you know why, given the school's history and its recent turn of events." A boy had DIED last year, and this was still on her conscience. She was willing to bet that he had heard about that. "I'll bet you didn't know that Hogwarts has an opening in your field, however. Defense Against the Dark Arts. I need someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, experienced, and yet CAUTIOUS in that position. If this paper's claims are not true, and if what I know of you IS true, then I think you could be the best man for the job."

She settled back in her chair a little bit and had another sip of the gillywater. What did she think about that?
