Professor Hooch is going to be the new Head of Gryffindor.
The Slytherin Common Room is going to swap places with the Ravenclaw Common Room, and the Ravenclaw colours will be changing to green and silver, and the Slytherin colours will be changing to blue and bronze. I don't quite believe that one, myself.
Sirius Black is alive, and he was last seen trying to buy a dinner of fish and chips in Manchester. The innkeeper screeched when he recognised his face from the wanted poster, and then when they tried to seize him, Sirius Black sprang into a portrait of King Arthur with the Knights of the Round Table that was hanging on the wall and he mounted the horses of one of the Knights and galloped away, disappearing out of the frame. Which would be quite a neat trick, really, if it's true. I have been told I must not talk about this. Perhaps the method of escape is a secret that the Ministry does not want to get out. Anyway, I am sorry for talking about paintings. Or people who might appear in them.
Under the 'News' category:
A Brindled Crowleree was spotted in Surrey. This is quite exciting, because there haven't been any reports of them in probably at least fifty years or so.
THERE ARE NO RUMOURS. THERE IS NO NEWS. I AM SORRY.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good
Not sure if she's saying that he's still alive. But it doesn't sound like she thinks it was the epidemic that killed him. Unless she honestly thinks that people who are, er, traitorous caught the disease and loyal people didn't.
I don't think she's thick enough to believe something like that, somehow.
