-YES!  THANK YOU!  I thought I was the only one who went nuts at this
-point in OOTP.  After all the "I've got to get to London! angst and
-he's finally got his head in the fireplace and he KNOWS how to floo
-by now - and he just uses it like a telephone????  Even if he did
-believe Kreachur that Sirius had gone out, he'd still have been
-closer to the MoM if he'd flooed to GP.

But this is Umbridge's fireplace - she's headmistress and lord high
inquisitor.  Her fireplace doesn't have restrictions on it.  That's
why they went to the effort to use hers.  And there's nothing in
canon that says that you can only talk at some fireplaces and
physically transport at others.
