But wait...how can Lucius Malfoy be MoM when he was just caught at 
the end of OotP as a Death Eater, attacking kids and aurors at the 
Ministry on Voldemort's behalf?  I can't imagine any sizeable number 
of the wizarding community going for this, after the info hit the 
papers and all.  Unless a huge memory charm is cast on the wizarding 
world, I can't see how this would be allowed.  I'm thinking the new 
MoM is someone else, but still someone 'negative'...Percy is an 
interesting choice, but I doubt him as well.  I'm thinking it's 
someone new, like Umbridge was when we started OotP.
