The light side was tense since the arrests of the Potters for child abuse, endangerment and abandonment. There were more light siders, who were siding with the neutral section and Lucius Malfoy and Lucius could also see that Albus was slowly losing control over the light section. Amelia, Narcissa, Pandora and Lucius believed that soon enough the leadership of the light side would fall onto Muriel Prewett and not Albus Dumbledore. If this happened, then Muriel would have control over the light side without any trouble and since Muriel was tending to vote neutral like them, there wouldn’t be any issues with the light side. Since the arrests, Lucius was able to count down that the remaining light siding lords and ladies, who were supporting him were those that were blindly loyal to him. The rest looked at Dumbledore with distrust and that was good for his books. There were not many families, who supported him. The only families, who supported him, were the families like Doge, Diggle, Jones, Macmillan, Goldstein, McLaggen, Podmore and Smith. Lucius knew that with the scandal Dedalus Diggle, the head of the house Diggle, had distanced himself from his old friend and secretly didn’t support Albus to be the leader of the light fraction and was starting to vote neutral. Macmillan and Smith were not really supporting him with the voting, but were supporting to keep Dumbledore as the leader of the light section. And Goldstein and McLaggen were not supporting him as the leader of the light section, but were following his lead. Lucius believed that if Muriel became the leader of the light fraction, Goldstein and McLaggen would be voting with her and not with Dumbledore. The only ones, who were blindly following Dumbledore, were Doge, Jones and Podmore. This meant that if Dumbledore wasn’t going to be the leader of the light section, then he would have only three light siding families supporting him.
