Without a doubt, that Mudblood had indeed anticipated this raid in advance and made preparations for it.
In fact, this was well within Lucius Malfoy's expectations. After all, since the fellow excelled at divination, it was impossible for him to be unprepared.
According to Malfoy's original plan, he would scatter a large number of Galleons to hire that greedy pack of Dark wizards to help him kill the Mudblood. Even if that Mudblood was the champion of the so-called Duelling Tournament, he could never be a match for a mob of vicious Dark wizards. No matter how powerful a person might be, he was still just a mortal; he could not dodge a cowardly sneak attack, nor could he resist Dark magic, let alone the Killing Curse.
