Amanda tapped her long, finely shaped fingers against the stack of bills in front of her at her counter and frowned. Rent, food, various beauty aids, and a bill for a new silk wrap charmed to keep her warm even in the wettest, coldest winter weather. Silky, spangled and stylish, it was well over the cost of the wool wraps, but why settle for second best? She had an image to uphold in her little circle and the last thing she wanted was to show up in the same thing twice.
She compared the bills against her last Gringott's statement and snapped her quill in frustration. The last payment from The Prophet had run out and expenses were beginning to worry her. There hadn't been any new admits since that kid left without notice, and she had no inside secrets to sell now. She shrugged and shoved the bills back in the drawer and locked it. If she didn't have any real info to sell, she'd just have to make some up. Moments later an owl with a magically sealed message was on its way to her contact, and any insignificant hint of doubt was crushed in her head by the thought of her new stiletto heels and matching purse due to be delivered later that week.
Haute couture just didn't buy itself.
