bboyminn:

Not really important but I was looking through old posts and found the
question.

Yes, sadly, I do think Lucius will get out before Stan Shunpike. Stan
is a political prisoner. I don't even recall him getting a trial. So,
I expect him to be in prison indefinitely. Whereas Lucius was tried
and sentenced for a specific, although admittedly mild compared to
what he actually did, crime. Therefore I suspect he will be out after
a fixed period of time. 

When Voldemort called Lucius 'my slippery friend', he wasn't kidding.
To think that Lucius could carry on as he did in the Ministry and only
get sentenced for "trespass and attempted theft" with no mention of
him being a Death Eater is unimaginable, but it none the less appears
to have happened. I don't think Harry will be very happy when he it
finally dawns on him.

Although, I really hope that Harry will make some effort to get Stan
freed. Not exactly sure how, but perhaps Harry will arrange a little
'give and take' with the Ministry; give me Stan, and I'll pretent to
be a good boy.

Just a thought.
