Harry Potter fic. There's a scene where Harry's in a car with a friendly Muggle adult, a lawyer. Prompted by him, Harry gives him a single pound note as a "retainer" to invoke lawyer-client confidentiality on some matter.
That's it. I'm completely at a loss for the surrounding plot; all I remember is that scene.
Thanks!
It’s not a muggle lawyer, but maybe it was this story? A Matter of Law
That scene tickles a memory, a very old fic where 11-year old Harry was taken in by said lawyer's family, who end up getting murdered further ahead in the story. I think that Harry got the usual white owl as a pet, but named her Polgara after the Belgariad character.
