Notes: AU. Post Hogwarts AU EWE. Special thanks to my beta Blossom D. She’s a lifesaver in hard times. Seriously. To my inspirations Katelin and Apple. Draco wouldn’t be what he was without either of you, nor Apple’s minion translators. And finally, to Apple, Happy Belated Birthday. xxx
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.
