Kiri looked up when she heard the professor's voice. Just a few more minutes? She looked at the little pile of coins in her hand. Her and Jude's niffler had barely found more than seven or so. Judging from the joyous shouts and whoops of her classmates, that made it one of the less successful ones.
Not that it mattered much. The little creature was still running back and forth as busy as ever, although it did so in increasingly long intervals as there were fewer coins to be found, and it did so with so much apparent joy that Kiri was, strangely enough, a little proud of it all the same.

The last object it brought appeared to be a serrated piece of iron. Kiri removed it from the niffler's mouth carefully to avoid the pointy ends. "Stay, I think the fun is over for today," she told it. Amazingly enough, the niffler didn't run off again, but sat down close to her and Jude, sniffing the grass. Kiri patted its head gently, waiting for Professor Morgan to call the nifflers back.
