It's hard to imagine any future for her in the wizard world. Disgrace 
is seldom that complete, never so in America, it seems like. At least 
in the UK they resign once in a while. 

Her disgrace is nothing to Fudge's, far more complete and public.  
How he remains in office for a day after LV's exposure is more than I 
can figure out.

Your prison scenario is the right one, but I'm afraid it won't 
happen. Dumbledore will allow her to move on, which may be into the 
arms of your last possibility, joining LV.  This would be a violation 
of the tactical principle that you never leave living enemies behind 
you.

Absolutely true, except that it could be a lot more damage.  She 
needs to be neutralized once and for all.
