Carol:
Didn't he have Buckbeak with him? I think Bucky would have been a bit
hard to hide in a botanical garden. And Buckbeak would have provided
the necessary transportation from Madagascar (or wherever) back to
Britain. Also IIRC, Hedwig's messages took quite a while to deliver,
indicating that Sirius was far qway (not, however, anywhere near
Tibet, which was Kingsley Shacklebolt's red herring).
