DD's 30 mins with Fudge always struck me as rather odd. Just 30 
mins?  After reading this thread though I have come to the conclusion 
that DD used Occlumens/Legitmens(not sure of the spelling) on Fudge 
which would explain the short time period. 30 mins seemed too short a 
period of time for discussion of what has come to light as far as LV 
returning, the DE's in the MOM, etc.

As far as Fudge fleeing, all we know from JRK is that he will be 
replaced. IMHO we will see the replacement take place in HBP and why 
he is being replaced.  Lucious as next MOM is a little outlandish. He 
was caught red handed, and Harry knew he was at the gaveyard when LV 
called the DE's back. Talk his ways out? Nah, he and the other DE's 
will escape.
