Buckbeak and the Dragonhide Gloves 16. Dragonhide gloves pSa

Severus was returning from a rousing game of Quidditch, noticing
a Gypsy Van parked by the road. The old Gypsy
Witch smiled a toothy grin, "Come in my good sir I
have something to aid you sir, in the controlling of
Hippogriffs". Intriguingly skeptical, Severus entered the Gypsy Van. She produced
an exquisite pair of Dragonhide Gloves with Hippogriffs etched cuffs.
20 minutes of negotiating later, Severus owned them.

Spotting Buckbeak, advancing cautiously,donning the gloves, incanting,he jumped
on Buckbeak, and was suddenly in control -- sort of!
Buckbeak wasn't entirely controlled tho greatly subdued.

"Prospects brighten" thought Severus.
