Albus shrugged. "It depends which rumours you're talking about. If you mean the rumours about there being a secret passage at Hogwarts that leads into Buckingham Palace, then?well, I haven't been able to find it yet."
The Minister scowled and banged his hairy fist on the table. "The rumours of your homosexuality, dammit!" He leaned forward across the table. "Are you a practising homosexual?"
Albus smiled. A slow, deliberate smile. "No. Why would I need to practice? I'm already very good at it."
