What does 'you can laugh' mean?
“I believe He-Who-Must- Not-Be-Named is back, and I believe you fought him and escaped from him.”
Luna was wearing what looked like a pair of orange radishes for earrings, a fact that Parvati and Lavender seemed to have noticed, as they were both giggling and pointing at her earlobes.
“You can laugh!” Luna said, her voice rising, apparently under the impression that Parvati and Lavender were laughing at what she had said rather than what she was wearing.
