[Chamber of Secrets movie] Does nobody care that Lucius Malfoy tried to kill Harry on school grounds?

Spoilers for a movie that's been out for more than a decade.

At the end of chamber of secrets, Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby. Enraged by this, Malfoy whips his wand out and starts to yell "avada kedavra" before Dobby incapacitates him.

How the hell did Malfoy think he could get away with this? Did anyone at the school even care that he almost killed a student?

No-one saw him except harry potter and a house-elf. No-one's going to take a house-elf's word over a Malfoy's, and Harry at this point doesn't know what Avada Kedavra is so he has no reason to think it was anything more then Lucius trying to hex him with some unknown spell, and this no reason to report it.

Malfoy was very lucky he was incapacitated- had he *succeeded*, people would have very easily put the pieces together. Luckily for him, he failed, and so it never spread.
