Draco sat with his study open, an unusual occurrence, but it was late. He had no reason to believe any of the other inhabitants of Malfoy Manor would be about at this hour. And if he left the door open, he was far less likely to collapse on the settee and fall asleep here. He'd done that in the past.
Angrily, he scratched notes on parchment, numbers swimming before his eyes. His finger traced the numbers of the accounting he received from Gringotts just that afternoon. His mind raced, working through what was gained through investments, interest, and his curse breaking business against what they spent and what the Ministry took.
While he didn't publicize the fact, he had informed the Minister's office that he did have receipts in regards to the funds he gave to the orphanage. However, when one's father was in the Inner Circle, and one bore the Mark oneself, such a small thing as continually, and freely giving to a charity didn't matter, not when it wasn't the Ministry's choice.
He took another drink of the cognac before scratching more notes in the well-lit room.
