Black Still at Large
Black, who escaped from Azkaban two years ago, remains hidden. All sources agree
that he must be on another continent, as there have been no signs lately.
Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge: "We still hope to capture Black.
Mark my words, one day we will find him."
Lupin smiled sadly, pocketing the Daily Prophet. Since Sirius was dead, there was no chance whatsoever of finding any trace of him; his body had disappeared through the veil.
He would've loved knowing that he was right under the Ministry's nose. Lupin had to admit it was bloody brilliant.
