The trials and tribulations of Draco Malfoy’s employment by @ladyursa-writes

Where should I start with this one 🙈
This was my first time making a clamshell box, and I decided to make it into a gringotts vault!! I found the safe box at Homesense as a (very) badly made faux-book and brought it home, took it apart and rebuilt the box around it. The box cover is made into the mechanisms of a Gringotts vault! It took ages (and my sanity) to weed it, i almost gave up 12 times 🦐
Coming up with a riddle for the lock combination was also a lot of fun! The unboxing experience was turned into a full sidequest!
Another thing: the safe looks bigger than it is, but its lock is very thick, so the book I made for it needed to be very VERY skinny to fit. It was a challenge to make a 194,575 word fic fit within less than 200 pages so, it quickly turned a typeset for ants.
But it fit!!!
The artwork on the cover of the book is a mashup of Indiana Jones and Lara Croft 🤭 the story starts in Gringotts but they go on an adventure in Egypt, and I liked the parallel with the two movies!
