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 love quick-paced stories, and this fic is like that, which is perfect, because it's an adaptation of Safe, a thriller.
This story feels like it too. But it has some original twist to Draco's characterisation (like him having eidetic memory), yet he's still one sneaky little Slytherin to the core. And there's Harry, smitten and playing protector. It's a really cool and entertaining read. It's got action, romance and a lovely ending.
