Yay! another convert!  not that anyone needs converting by me and
Penny...he's hot enough without us...we just nudge that fantasy along.   And
to add to the very old thread of...I'm Carole and I'm a Potterholic.  The
image I have of Sirius has popped into my head to attach itself to a
character in a completely unrelated book (well not completely unrelated in
that it is one of Peg's books)!  So HP characters are now showing up in
other books...is that bizarre or what!

I agree with what Angela posted. When he talked to Harry in the fireplace he
had just gotten back to the UK from the tropics.  I am assuming he didn't
have to really hide while in the tropics.  He could go to a restaurant and
had a decent place to stay.  By the time they meet him in Hogsmead, he's had
to play the hiding game again, not being able to get a good meal or a decent
place to sleep or wash up.
