Actually, I am inferring that Hestia works for the Ministry.  In OotP 
(don't have book at work), early on while they are at #12, Tonks 
makes a comment saying she is too tired for guard duty (or such-- 
presumably at the DoM) and that she might get Hestia to take her 
shift after Kingsley's (or such).  

So far, that's evidence of Tonks (known MoM employee), Kingsley 
(known MoM employee), Mr. Weasley (known MoM employee), Sturgis 
Podmore(known MoM employee), and now Hestia Jones taking "duty".  


I say she is also a MoM employee.  Maybe Arthur's friend inthe Floo 
Regulation Panel?
