Kristi:
The escape of Sirius has always driven me mad. Did he escape the night Fudge 
went out there?  And if so, how could he have been talking in his sleep "for 
a while now?"

Taryn (me):
Alright, here's what I say. Fudge went out to Azkaban on a normal inspection (as normal as an inspection of Azkaban can get) and checked up on Sirius. This is when they talked, Fudge gave him the paper, etc. Then, Sirius turns this over in his mind for a while before making his escape, enough for everyone to hear him talking in his sleep. THEN, Fudge comes out AGAIN because Sirius has escaped. It would be normal to go question people. But this wasn't an "inspection of Azkaban," persay. It was going there to question people because a prisoner had escaped.
