I'd rely on Bill to give you the round up of most of the Ministry news, but I know for a fact that he's taken a potion and is home sleeping. Two entirely sleepless nights had really taken their toll, and he was swaying and owl-eyed at work today.
The last I heard, none of the four escapees have been apprehended yet, and nothing is known of their movements, although, of course, every suspicious sighting is being sent in, and so they're absolutely flooded with tips from the public. I certainly hope that most of them are rubbish. I don't think it will take very long for people to figure out that sending in false tips is a lovely way to keep the MLE jumping around as busily as the legendary hopping pot, and consequently wasting their time.
I believe I heard from Bill this morning that the rumour is that young Mr Marvolo's security detail has been considerably heightened, although of course Hermione could tell you much more about that.
I'm very sorry that you lost Marguerite. Bill has heard definite confirmation that she is dead. I confess I am worried about what the consequences for Laszlo will be, if they manage to identify her body.
Everyone else is all right and tight, although of course we were very afraid for awhile there. Molly and I have eased up on the children, allowing them to leave the house, now that you are out of danger. I'm afraid that our excuses for keeping them so close at hand were growing rather feeble, but although there was some surreptitious eye-rolling, we think we have managed to head off the questions for now. Although I wonder what they're thinking.
Let us hope that none of us have scare like that again for a good long while.
Perhaps this is premature, but have you given much thought to what your next move will be, Sirius? Obviously, you don't want to have the French breathing down your neck again anytime soon. But perhaps it is time to consider some long-term planning for what your contribution to the Order should be, going forward.
