Lucius: HM or MoM (Minor OOP Spoiler)

In a very good recent thread, people have speculated that Fudge would
be such a worthless bungler that he would be kick out of office or
perhaps even die, and his position would be taken by none other than
Lucius Malfoy. That would certainly open tremendous plot possibilites.
But let's look at an alternate possibility.

What if Fudge, in an effort to continue to deny Voldemort's return,
petitions the school board of governors to have Dumbledore removed
claiming that Dumbledore is completely out of control, not to mention
he's lost his grip on reality. 

So who becomes the new headmaster? Good old Lucius Malfoy, who may be
help along in this position but the governors fear that if Voldemort
is back, they definitely do not want to get on Lucius's bad side, and
let's not forget the possible use of the Imperius curse to help thing
along.

Now that has some seriously good plot potential. Think about Harry's
life at school with Lucius as headmaster. Think of the position that
puts Dobby in. (*Spoiler*)There is suppose to be a vicious disgrundled
house elf in the new story. That could be Dobby and Lucius butting
heads.(*End Spoiler*) Lucius could even override the Sorting Hat and
decide for himself who goes where. He could refuse to take in anymore
Muggle borns. And sweet mother of Merlin, think of the change in the
relationship between Draco and Harry.

It is possible for both to happen. Early in the story Lucius is
appointed Headmaster, then later after Fudge has messed things up
completely and all confidence in him is lostt, or perhaps he is dead,
Lucius moves into that position.

I confident that next to Voldemort; Lucuis, Fudge, and Rita Skeeter
are the most dangerous people in the wizard world right now; evil,
stupidity, and lies.

Oh what a tangle web she weaves...

Just a thought.
