I also think – and have suggested this before without feedback –
that the normal rules aren't going to apply in the next year or two.
I predict a coup led by non-other than our friend Lucius Malfoy.
Did you really think Fudge will be able to keep the Death Eaters in
prison without the help of the traitorous Dementors? With a real
crisis, Fudge will just wring his hands while Malfoy and company
boldly marches into the Ministry.

Ravenclaw Bookworm <who wonders if Lucius is really a loyal servant
and just what his own ambitions are>

Hi Flop and Hi Bookworm :D
Valky Here. 

I concur with you both, in point by point. 
1 The normal rules will not apply in the next two books.
2 The ministry will not be able to keep the incarcerated DE's. 
Azkaban will fall and the Dementors will prove DD right in showing 
zip nada loyalty to the Ministry and its kind.
3 If a coup on the Ministry is staged which is entirely a likely 
continuation of this, Lucius will be at the head of this, hencewise 
becoming new MOM. 
4 The parrallel between le morte of Arthur and Lucius seems to me 
equally likely. Given that the previous steps manifest, Lucius will 
demand homage from Arthur and Arthur will tell him to rayally stuff 
it.
5 Finally and most interestingly I too, like Bookworm, question 
Lucius' loyalty to LV. Lucius has his own ruthless ambition, I don't 
truly believe he serves anyone.

Best to You All
