No one can find out who cast which spell on the express, except through Priori 
Incantatem, so Draco would have a hard time proving what happened.

The Ministry can only detect that a spell has been cast, not by whom. Harry got into 
trouble in CS  because a Hovering charm was used, and since he's the only wizard in the 
house, the Ministry assumed it was him.

How else could Fred and George have been creating their Wizard Wheezes during the 
holidays? They didn't get into trouble because the Ministry didn't know if their parents 
had cast the spells in question.
