I stand by my position that JKR just forgot that Lucius hadn't
sneerinlr refused to buy his son a handy tool for thieves and
plunderers and that neither Ron nor Harry had ever seen him with it.

Lynda:

Having known an awful lot of real kids who manage to both buy things without
their parents
knowledge and successfully hide them from the same parents, and who sneak
them into
their schools and show them off to other students successfully--sometimes
for several days
and also having lived in a number of dormitories in my life (school,
military barracks) and realizing
that it's not really all that difficult to hide something if you really have
to, I'll continue to take the
position that Draco simply bought the HoG at a later time or had someone buy
it for him.
