Hiya just found the e-book and the conversation I was thinking of 
(Sirius isn't even there...  Oops, seem to have him on the brain at 
the mo' no idea why...)

Anyway here's the relevant parts of the conversation, 3 Broomsticks 
just before christmas...

Mdm Rosmerta: "TheMinistry of Magic caught up with him next day!" 
(day after Potters deaths, so 1981)

Fudge:  "I was Junior Minister in the Department of Magical 
Catastrophes at the time, and I was one of the first on the scene 
after Black murdered all those people".

Ta Da! Junior Minister to Minister of magic in Nine Years.  Percy 
should be happy...
