I am certain that Lucius would never do anything so vulgar as have a 
*job*. I assumed that "I'll see you at work" meant dropping in at 
*Arthur's* work.

>Carol:
I couldn't imagine Lucius *working* either.  That's a good point 
about Lucius dropping in at Arthur's work.  But then I wonder why 
he'd do that. <snip> Why would he be dropping in at the MOM and yet 
be afraid that he'd be raided?  


I think we have movie contamination here.  In the movie Lucius does 
say something to the effect of "see you at the office" (I don't 
remember exactly).  In CoS this doesn't occur.

Lucius - "Dear me, what's the use of being a disgrace to the name of 
wizard if they don't even pay you well for it."

Arthur - "We have a very different idea of what disgraces the name of 
wizard, Malfoy."

Lucius - "Clearly... The company you keep, Weasley... and I thought 
your family could sink no lower-"

Arthur then launches himself at Lucius, they tumble around the shop, 
Hagrid breaks them apart, then Lucius leaves ... "Here girl - take 
your book - it's the best your father can give you -".  

I do not believe Lucius works for the MoM, but being from an old 
wizarding family still has a lot of perceived influence.
