Memories of Lily 16. Dragonhide Gloves



The students prepare to brew their assigned potion when Pansy Parkinson walks up to Snape’s desk.

“Professor Snape, I forgot my dragonhide gloves. Can I borrow a pair from you?”

Snape takes out a worn pair of gloves.

“You may use these, but you must return them at the end of class,” Snape says.

Pansy takes them and brews her potion. Then she takes the gloves back.

“Thank you, Professor Snape.”

Snape lovingly holds them. They are Lily’s gloves. He rescued them from the ruins of her house. They are all he has left of her. He kisses them tenderly.
