Order Only: Sirius' cover is about to be officially blown

[alt_bill]

I got a tip from one of my inside sources at the Prophet. They're going to be printing some explosive news tonight.

Specifically, an explosive photo: the notorious Sirius Black, very much alive and entirely recognisable, at the site of the mayhem of the World Cup. My source says he's got an unidentified body hoicked up over his shoulder. Doubtless either a nefarious confederate he had murdered or an innocent bystander whose body he was stealing to render into parts for dark potion ingredients.

This is not good.

Sirius, I suspect that the Protectorate is about to get really hot for you, really fast. As of the release of this evening's edition.

One (feeble) bright spot: I knew better than to ask, but there was no mention made to me whatsoever of the presence of a large, friendly black dog.

Of course, if we're really lucky, Lucius Malfoy will die of his wounds and everyone will blame him for the odd way Voldemort looks these days.

Talk about someone who looks like he's next door to a corpse! You Know Who, I mean, not cousin Lucius--we can only hope his injuries are really dire--what do you make of the way HE's changed? Lost his hair, for one thing. And so thin. You don't suppose HE's got something terminal, do you?

There are worse rumours to put about.
