Inge:
"Try Lucius Malfoy?"


DuffyPoo now:

Lucius Malfoy is a known DE (reported so in the Quibbler article which was reprinted in the Daily Prophet).  Also, he's currently having a short rest in Azkaban.  I say short because I don't think any of them will be there for long - there are no Dementors there anymore after all.  I do think he will have a hard time getting Fudge to let him go on a technicality this time as Fudge knows that LM was in the Death Chamber bound by DD's Anti-Disapparition Jinx.   Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice....well, you all know the rest.  
Who it could be?  I have no idea, I haven't had time to think about it.  Hopefully NOT Percy Weasley.  It is his aim, according to Ron:  " 'Course, he's very ambitious, Percy, he's got it all planned out...he wants to be Minister of Magic...' Ron told Harry and Hermione.....  


I'm now going back to read CoS again to see if I can find out what Harry's *discoveries* were in it.  JKR says HBP will be based on one of Harry's discoveries in CoS foreshadowing what he finds out in HBP.
