Summary: It’s expensive being a Dark Lord. Nearly everything you do, or want to do, costs money. What better way to gather funds than to force donations? Voldemort kept accounts of his spending. Not quite patient enough for Goblins and gold and vaults, he instead used the Muggle alternative. It seemed to be all Muggles were good for, because it meant that Wizards, and the Ministry in particular, would not get their hands on it. Just in case, the Dark Lord destroyed all records of his accounting, using something that was better than a safe, better than books. Only, no one knows what it was and, after five years, the money’s become a myth. Now a secret sector of the Ministry is after it and only a member of their own can stop them.

I've only seen the trailer for this film, but having not seen it in its entirety didn't stop me thoroughly enjoying this fic =D Nicely in character, amazingly hot sex, gripping action scenes and overall general awesomeness. Although I loved eidetic memory Draco so much that I'm now tempted to write a Criminal Minds adaptation :/ Damn, as if I don't have enough plot bunnies already...

Fantastic! I always like to read a fic with a smart Draco with an unusual talent. I loved the ending & how Draco knew everything from the beginning. Great fic! *^_^*

~~Squeeeeeee!! *tackleglompsqueeze* Goodness, I don't know what I did to deserve a friend as sweet as you! Thank you for the birthday gift. Thank you for participating, thank you for sharing this lovely fic with all of us, thank you for everything. Before you say, I don't owe you anything - I do. So much. So, thank you.

That said, omg I love this! You had me flailing and grinning and laughing from beginning til the end because I recognized all the bits we have talked and fangirled over (and I totally recognized all the not-so-hidden tiny Skyfall bits. *winks*)! The way you wrote Draco and the Slytherins was perfect! The way you wrote Draco was perfect too! He was just the right mixture of snark, of slyness and of gutsy bravado that made him sooooo incredibly sexy and irresistible! Harry was the perfect hero as he was born to be ♥ I love the way you demonstrated Draco's gift with numbers and memorizing huge amounts of facts and more numbers instead of just outright saying it. I love the way you wrote the car chase scene - absolutely fantastic! You should have more car chase scenes in everything you write! And more sex scenes, yessss!! Oh, did I mention I absolutely love the delicious sex scenes in this piece? Soooo sexy!!

And omg! I absolutely love the twist you added at the end! *flails* That was so unexpected that it caught me off guard but it was perfect and it made me love Harry and Draco all the more! I love the fast-paced plot and the way everything just falls into place right at the end, even with the ingenious twist! It was wonderful and such a thrill to read! I love, love, love this!

This was perfect! OMG and so unexpected! I laughed my ass off at you having them moved to where you live you sneaky.... Why not where I live, huh?! I could do with some Harry and Draco living next door ;)

I'm SERIOUSLY happy I ranted to you about that horrible night at work xD
