SPOILER!!: Jaemin

Sure, his dorm had other people in it and was probably not big enough for all these nifflers. Sure, there were a lot of things in his dorm room that would likely get snatched up by the nifflers, and even more things in the common room itself that would get grabbed up. But that was all logistics, which could be figured out later. Right now, he just knew that he wanted to be in a warm, snuggly, shiny-stealing niffler pile. He deserved it.

Aaaaaaand one in the pot! Jaemin let out the loudest, most excited yell of his life. The small creature seemed dazed for a moment as it rolled around in the pot to get back on its feet; the sides were just tall enough to keep it in, luckily, and it had no chance of escaping once it was in the pot.

It looked up at him with inquisitive eyes, and that was it. Jaemin was in love with this tiny creature, so enamoured that he would never ever ever be able to let it go. He stared into the pot with a giant grin on his face, resisting the need to bounce in excitement so he wouldn't jostle the poor little thing.

Haddie's shout drew his attention, albeit very slowly, and he looked up to see what she was doing now. One of the nifflers was after her wand? And then... more of them... Oh Merlin.

"They like shiny stuff, Haddie!" he yelled, setting the pot down carefully on the counter so it wouldn't get knocked over before rushing over to Haddie. He grabbed her wand from her hand hurriedly as a niffler jumped at it, looking around for a place to hide it. No such place, not in here where the nifflers had wreaked havoc. He looked at her, wide-eyed, before grabbing the neck of her shirt and stuffing her wand right down it. "You gotta hide it or they'll take it!"

Now that he had a niffler in a pot, he was slowly realising that the kitchen was absolutely a mess. Every fiber of his tiny being was insisting that they stay and catch more nifflers, because he wanted moooooore, but...

"...we should probably go find a professor."

Before there were was no kitchen left to produce food for the students come morning.

TThe next few moments were a whirlwind of confusion activity. Haddie was being swarmed by nifflers, then her wand was gone. "Hey!" Jaemin was running around frantic, but before she could react further to him taking her wand, it was down her shirt? She stood there, flustered for a fraction of second, then nodded her thanks. He had just saved Kira, and herself from the nifflers (mostly Kira), after all. Sure it might have been a bit unorthodox, but it worked. The nifflers were ignoring her again, rushing around the kitchen in their search for anything shiny.

Yeah, getting a professor might be a good idea, but... "Don't you want to at least catch another one?" Because she totally had an idea on how to do just that, that didn't put her wand in danger. Haddie was muggle-born, after all. She had ample practice in coming up with non-magical solutions to things. But if Jaemin was content with his one niffler, she'd leave it at that.

The nearest professors were probably on the first floor. If they were in their offices at least. "We can check Professor Hirsch's office first," Haddie suggested. "So we're not wandering around aimlessly." She was backing toward the kitchen door watching the mayhem around them. Sure, Sour Drapes was the most logical choice, given he was the Care of Magical Creatures Professor, but no thank you. She was not voluntarily going to that man for any sort of help. Especially, since he'd been no help to her last time there was a crisis. Besides, he'd probably not let Jaemin keep his nifffler. No, not probably. He definitely wouldn't.

CLANG! Haddie turned in time to see the pot holding Jaemin's niffler topple over and his pet run free, escaping into the stampeding herd of its brethren. No, no, no! Jaemin was not losing his pet on his birthday! Haddie wasn't going to allow it. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out her plan B. A small closed compact mirror. The shiniest thing ever when it catches the light right. Haddie grabbed the overturned pot, and any other pots she could find, stacking them on each other so that the top of the niffler's pot was level with one of the counters. Then she opened the compact mirror and rested it on the pots handle, on the opposite side of the pot, and fidgeted with it until it caught the light, and shone brilliantly. The mirror, reflecting the light, would draw a niffler in, which would then fall into the pot as it tried to get to the mirror.
