After the events of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Draco Malfoy's father, Lucius Malfoy, faced several consequences.
- Loss of Influence: Lucius's reputation and standing within the wizarding world suffered significantly. He was publicly humiliated by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and his attempt to use the cursed diary to manipulate Ginny Weasley backfired spectacularly.
- Prison Sentence: Lucius's involvement in the return of Lord Voldemort led to his imprisonment in Azkaban, the notorious wizarding prison.
- Family Strain: His imprisonment put significant strain on the Malfoy family, particularly on his wife, Narcissa, and son, Draco.
- Rehabilitation: Although he was eventually released from Azkaban, Lucius's experience in prison likely changed him. He became more cautious and less arrogant, perhaps due to the realization of his past mistakes.
Lucius Malfoy's journey in the later books reflects the consequences of his actions and the changing dynamics within the wizarding world.
