Notes: I apologize for wandering a good bit away from the prompt. These things do happen, especially when a boy in very happy colors wants to do wonderfully grey things. I’m sure this is not what you were expecting, cremebunny, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it regardless. I haven’t written anything HP in nearly two years, so, renewed apologies for being out of practice with these characters and with Britishisms - I hope I didn’t embarrass myself too awfully. J tried to make sure I didn’t. Thank you for that as always (and for your speediness), darling! kitty_fic was a source of constant support, enthusiasm and reassurance throughout this process and you put even the name of ‘cheerleader’ to shame, love. And, finally, thanks to E for reading every word I write and convincing me they’re not as terrible strung together as I’ve told myself they are. You’re all my own found family and I love you to bits.
Summary: Harry finds something he’s been looking for since the war’s end. Admittedly, the packaging’s a bit odder than he expected.
