Bren now:

But I think Lucius has slim chance of being a Ministry official now 
that his lame 'I was Imperio-ed' excuse has proven to be false.  But 
yes, JKR's 'Alas' comment does take away chances that the new MoM 
will be someone more opt for the job than Fudge.

How about Umbridge?  She's already the Senior Secretary of Ministry 
(or some sort), won't be too much promotion for her!  I shudder to 
think that she will blood-quill Ministry officials who oppose her! 
*shudder*
