That would be more reassuring except for the part where I am nearby, and Lucius Malfoy is not, but I do take your point.

I advised Ptolemy to both keep a low profile himself around both of them, as much as he can, and of course to let Minerva or Horace know immediately if any worrying behavior comes his way, even if he's not certain.

I've a few ideas on how to keep out from under her eye (or her brother's, for that matter) for a few days, at least other than at meals, and will hope that things die down, or she gets over looking humilated in front of a student and a colleague.

I'd say that I'm sorry I didn't hear the precise hexes Malfoy used, but on the whole, probably better that she's out of circulation for a bit, rather than having your usual efficient restoratives at her service.
