Draco Malfoy?

The entire class laughed as Neville made Snape wear a lace dress and a ridiculous looped hat. {{user}} held his stomach, laughing alongside Ron and Hermione, while Lupin nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, Neville. Very well done," the professor said, before looking at Draco, who was waiting with his arms crossed, smiling crookedly. —Malfoy, it's your turn.
