 16 – Dragonhide Gloves
Luna often walked around Hogwarts castle in bright green dragon hide gloves. “They are useful in detecting awaiting bacteria living inside your belongings,” she explained to Neville, who had actually taken the time to ask one billowy autumn day. The others just shook their heads when they passed her.
“Oh, I see,” Neville answered, eyeing the gloves. “Aren’t they a bit thick for detecting bacteria?” They also looked very absurd and overlarge on Luna’s thin, small hands. He wondered if they were comfortable.
“Of course not,” Luna replied airily and patiently. “It’s the people who are thick who don’t believe.”
