Lucius Malfoy - Getting Out

[Steve]

No: HPFGUIDX 135263

I vaguely remember reading that Lucius was only charged with breaking
and entering, and attempting to steal the Prophecy. The assault and
attempted murder charges were never brought against him. Which brings
me to my point; I vaguely remember reading that Lucius was sentenced
to something like 18 months for his crimes. That means he will get out
around January in the next book.

My problem is I can't remember where, or even if, I read this. Does
any one recall reading this; can you confirm it for me?

Of course, this only applies to Lucius. Lucius had not previously been
convicted of a crime and wasn't in Azkaban. Those who were previously
convicted will have to stay.

Thanks,
