'Mala fides': bad faith, purpose to deceive or defraud
- Merriam Webster dictionary

For Harry Potter, the man-who-lived-twice, savior of the Wizarding World, and the ultimate golden boy, life was good. He had survived the war, had a job he loved, a good home, and wonderful friends; the future seemed bright.
But when he's asked to assist on a case involving Unspeakables, what he discovers deep in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries turns his world upside down.

Betrayed and heartbroken, Harry does what he knows best; he jumps into the unknown like the good, little Gryffindor he is.
