He knew exactly what sort of man Lucius Malfoy was. In terms of sheer loyalty, Lucius did not measure up to Goyle and Crabbe senior, let alone Bellatrix or Barty.
Even so, Lucius had always held a crucial place at Voldemort’s side—and not only because of the Malfoy fortune. He possessed something vanishi...

Blame was a useful thing. It needed to be dumped on Voldemort and the Death Eaters at every opportunity.
