. . . Oh, it was finally coming out with something! Beaming when the thing gave Rachel the coin, Willow saw it went back to its hole. "I think I should have the bag and you should be the one grabbing the coins He gives you." She was convinced it was aboy. "Since the creature seems to like you more, and all. Oh, and don't you think we should make him move? So he can dig somewhere else too?" Surely all the coins were not in one place, right?
"Right - we'll just say he's a boy, and if it's a girl then she'll just have to deal with it," Rachel said cheerfully and knelt back down as the niffler came back up.
They really are cute... I wonder if we'll be allowed to keep them - probably not, since they're school property. The fifth year grinned at the thought of having a niffler as a pet and waited patiently for it to hand her the shiny thing it had in its hold.
"Sure, if that's ok with you. And yeah, that's a good idea..." she trailed off, nodding and looking back at the fluffy black creature as it dropped two coins in her hand this time.
"Here, he bought up two this time," she held the coins up to give to Willow, then carefully picked up the niffler.
Grinning as it lay still in her hand - and looked quite comfortable - she signaled over to a blank patch where not many people seemed to be.
"How about there? There aren't too many people," she asked her partner and began to make her way towards the patch, not really waiting for an answer. Once she got there, she lowered the creature back to the ground and watched as it ran around for a few moments before beginning to burrow into the ground.
"This area is ok right?" she asked Willow again, a little apprehensive that she had just decided on a spot without her partner's consent.
