Author's Notes-1: This is a continuation of the non-series "Maintaining One's Station". It occurs after the wedding ( partially told [ here ] ) but before the honeymoon, which will be posted soon. You don't need to read the wedding to understand what's going on, but I do advise you to read [ this ] as it explains a great many thing about Draco's financial and estate affairs.
Author's Notes-2: Directly continued from here. You need to at least read the first part to get a clear understanding of this final part. I split into two parts because of the sheer size of it and my desire to keep each part of M1S condensed into nice, quick, and lite reading experiences.
Challenges: slythindor100's Challenge #51: Letter 'T' and Challenge #53: Impromptu.

“Thank you… As I was saying Harry, this is a dangerous game you’re playing, and I still don’t understand the point in it, nor your logic behind it. But the Malfoy Estate is officially frozen, just as you wanted. The Ministry of Magic’s Office of After-War Reparations, Remuneration, Restitutions, and Restoration will vote on it tomorrow morning. No worries, though, it will be approved. The judgment will determine how much in 'war fines' his estate will have to pay. That will be his 4R tax. That's a mere formality, really, because it'll be the totality of his British Isles estates and fortune.”
Harry grimaced at her scowl, which burned with disapproval. He braced himself for a proper scolding. To his surprise, it hadn't come.
