If the Order can convince everyone that Sirius is dead, though, then
Lucius has lost his advantage. What better way to provide proof of
Sirius' "death" than to have it happen in front of a bunch of Death
Eaters (for Voldemort) in the middle of the Ministry of Magic (for
Fudge)?

Now, Eustace_Scrubb interjects:

Well, I'm not sure that the worst thing to happen to Lucius as a
result of the DoM debacle would be that he can no longer sell Sirius
to the highest bidder...I mean he's been "detained" by the Ministry
(although we all suspect that Draco's right when he says Dad'll be out
in no time).  The last thing on Fudge's mind just now is Sirius
Black,he's just seen LV in the Ministry with his own eyes.  Meanwhile,
as the apparent leader of the botched prophecy grab, Lucius has just
"let Harry Potter thwart" dear old LV yet again, a deed that surely
will warrant an unpleasant disciplinary experience when he does escape
from Azkaban.  If Sirius' death was staged, I kind of doubt it was
with Malfoy in mind.
