Harry Potter: What Happened To Everyone Who Escaped Azkaban
4. Lucius Malfoy
Lucius Malfoy successfully avoided imprisonment after Voldemort’s downfall by claiming he’d been bewitched into doing the Dark Lord’s bidding.
But like most of the Death Easters who were involved in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Lucius was captured and given life imprisonment in Azkaban. However, given that Lucius was in charge of those who had tried to steal the prophecy, he was probably pleased about being in Azkaban as he was safe from the fury of his master.
He escaped in the summer of 1997, but unlike many of his fellow escapees, Lucius was not happy about Voldemort’s rise to power. Both he and his wife were more concerned about the fate of their son than the Dark Lord’s schemes. Indeed, once Voldemort had been defeated, all three of the Malfoys sat in the Great Hall and appeared to be relieved rather than upset.
