Are you talking to little Alex or to me? For I also think no one is safe 
around Draco (or Harry, btw) after his father is (so they say) imprisoned. At 
last, after his new-and-lower IQ for OoP, he showed menace, I was starting to 
get disappointed.

So, by the same rule, the trio helped scape a dangerous criminal (an 
unregistered animagus): Sirius, and it would have been fair for Draco to 
kidnapp them?

Hey, if kidnapping is citizen's arrest and not, as I tougth, a way to keep 
your secrets safe, dueling at midnigth and chasing Harry it's only training. 
Draco, who is a very good boy, after all, only wants to help Harry develop 
his alertness and dueling skills. Draco knows Harry will be in need of them 
to figth Voldie.   

As I don't think Hermione is going to be prosecuted, unless the political tide 
changes, I also think Draco needs to go far of the line to be punished. I 
don't respect ww law or the MoM. I think the fact if you go to trial or not 
is greatly determined by who you are and whom your enemies are. Fitting 
perfectly with the medieval atmosphere.
