Well, I don't believe for a minute the rumours that Lucius Malfoy is dead. If Alecto Carrow were going to try to kill him she'd have used the killing curse. And if she'd even TRIED to cast that on him I think he'd have killed her. They were both alive last night, so I'm sure they're both alive now.

But yeah, your brother loudly denying everything? just makes it sound more true. Too bad for him.
