Mandy again:
Oh I have.  He is a personal favorite for Minister for Magic.  But 
Lucius doesn't work for the MoM, he just owns most of it. ;-)  I was 
interested in looking at the potential candidates from inside the 
ministry.  

I don't know how the WW appoints their new ministers. I don't believe 
they are elected (not by the WW public at least), or if the potential 
candidates have to come from inside the ministry itself.  If not, 
then Lucius, or any influential member of the WW would be high on the 
list of potential candidates.   

Only if Lucius Malfoy can get out of Azkaban without a scratch of 
course.   However if Lucius doesn't emerge from Azkaban Fortress 
smelling of roses, all charges dropped, and a written apology from 
Minister Fudge himself, Mr. Malfoy isn't half a slippery as we've 
been lead to believe.

Cheers Mandy
