Potioncat:
I think it must be in DH. I remember something along that line too. Check out the Prince's Tale....maybe? I'm pretty sure Lucius didn't know the Diary was a Horcrux, but there's something about LV's wrath at the loss of the diary. This is why I think Lucius was acting on his own when he slipped the diary into Ginny's things. 

So obviously, if he's using his master's belongings for his own purposes, he isn't expecting LV to come back, and he's comfortable moving along on his own agenda.
