Summary
Harry Potter has made plenty of reckless choices in his life, but promising Draco Malfoy that he’d wear whatever Draco picked for him to a Ministry gala might be the stupidest one yet. What begins as a petty act of humiliation—a violently yellow suit, enchanted socks, a vibrating pair of boxers, and a monocle with opinions—spirals into something else entirely.
Standing on stage in front of the entire wizarding elite dressed like a banana, Harry learns that sometimes visibility, absurdity, and a little Gryffindor stubbornness can transform mockery into meaning. And maybe, just maybe, Draco Malfoy isn’t just trying to ruin his life—he’s helping him find it again.
A post-war comedy of bad decisions, terrible fashion, and one very good speech.
