Don't forget SOIL HOCKEY: "Sirius Obtains Information at Lupin's Hand.
Old Crowd Klatches Entire Year." [41592]   

He might be in contact with Lupin et al., and they might be doing that
head-in-the-fireplace thing, which is instantaneous.  But I can't help
but like the idea that Sirius is doing some serious shaking down in
the tropics, leveraging his Bad Old Rep to gather intelligence for
Dumbledore.
