this goes back to an earlier question I had... What will the atmosphere be at 
Hogwarts this year? With the tensions mounting and people like Draco and Co. 
running amok about the school with their D.E. ideals... how will tensions 
among students be controlled? Certainly, DD will see that what Harry and Co. 
did on the train as slightly funny... at least *I* did... but they attacked 
fellow students....

Hogwarts, although technically not in session at the time, would suspend them 
for their actions were it not for Harry's gang, but certainly they will be 
punished- afterall Ron and Harry were punished for stealing the car and 
flying it to Hogwarts- but only lightly as the term had not yet begun... 

As for Lucius, in light of the Dark lord returning, I doubt he will raise too 
much of a commotion with Dumbledore as it would not be an intelligent move 
for  him to do so in the current light...

Students are allowed to still use magic on the Hogwarts express- so they 
weren't technically breaking the under-aged wizard laws.... but certainly 
cursing people like that yields at least a bent law??
