Cornelius's words, however, snapped him back to reality and Jaemin very suddenly jerked his head up to look at the other boy. Nobody was taking his new pet away from him! NOBODY. D: He shook his head furiously and held out his hands for the cage.
"We can put him in Sniffler's hedgehog hutch. There's lots of space for him in there and he can hide in the little house..." he looked at the few nifflers still lingering and wrinkled his nose at them. "One is enough. One is all I need."
ONE WHOLE NIFFLER. They could just... chase the rest out. He looked at Cornelius, grinning excitedly and bouncing on the balls of his feet. This was so great. SO GREAT. This totally made up for not catching a niffler in the kitchen last term.
"What should we name it?!"
While Jaemin was in Lala Land, Cornelius stuck a finger inside the cage and petted the niffler. AWww. It was sort of cute. He could see why Jaemin seemed to be obssessed.
"We can also charm it bigger," he reminded Jaemin. Wizards, heeello.
Following his friend's gaze, Cornelius sighed in relief. "Oh thank, Merlin. One IS enough. And by the way, I'm not cleaning up its pee." It was starting to smell. Cornelius normally didn't mind funny smells but anything that had to do with pee or poo, no THANK YOU. He had a babe Mallory at home to deal with that. Babies.
"Niffly. It's endearing and that way it gives people a hint of what he is in case they don't know what a niffler looks like." He wiggled his dark eyebrows. Clever wasn't it?
