But think about it, hon. With the dementors revolting against the Ministry, even if Lucius Malfoy is sent to Azkaban, he'll get out. Either that or he'll buy his way out. Fudge does still have a soft spot for him. McGonagall, Dumbledore, and any other professor with good sense (so everybody but Snape) will be fair but keep a strict eye on Draco. Draco isn't involved with the DEs (though that'd be an interesting twist); he's just endorsing their actions.
