Lucius Malfoy said, "The "Boy Who Lived,’ gone rogue, is a danger to the entire community of Wizarding Britain. His offence here goes far beyond a mere case of underage magic performed in front of a Muggle. Raised by Muggles, he has too much affection for the Muggle world to keep his distance from it; this boy is a Statute of Secrecy violation waiting to happen, again and again. There can be only one verdict—Guilty—and only one punishment—the Kiss—for someone who is such a danger to our community."
