I try.

You know, when I wrote to Dolohov I asked him about Evelyn and I think he was trying really hard to reassure me -- without actually saying, 'let me reassure you' -- that Evelyn had got clean away.

Here's what he said: 'Miss Longbottom has not been seen since that day. MLE are trying to find her, of course, to determine the truth of what happened, but they don't have many useful leads, and to my regret I believe we must consider her lost to us as well.'
