After a fashion, means:

One could say Dumbledore went for a drink and came back. However 
not in the sense one would normally use the term. For normally one 
would mean he went for a drink in a pub and come back to school 
after that. In this case he did drink _something_ and he did came 
back from _somewhere_, but not anything like you would normally 
understand when talking about 'having a drink'.  As far as I know 
the saying has nothing to do with amount of time or being 
fashionable.
