"Are we supposed to like--cheer it on or something?" he asked. "Come on Niffler! Come on! You can do it! Find us something!" he said, pumping his fist in the air and everything in an effort to psych up their little furball.

The niffler stared at him for a moment before finally setting off, nose close to the ground as it searched for something pretty and shiny and sparkly. Finally, it stopped and started digging in a small patch of grass nearby, going further and further into the dirt before it finally emerged with a tiny butterbeer cap. It scurried over to Reese and dropped in her lap before looking up at her, obviously expecting praise of some sort for his find.
Reese sat down on the ground and looked up at Jack when he asked if they were suppose to cheer on the niffler. Er, were they? She looked back at the niffler and smiled. She was about to cheer him on when Jack started doing it. "Yeah, come on little guy," she called out, clapping lightly, making sure not to make THAT much noise, so the niffler wouldn't get freak out.

She watched as the niffler set off, sniffing the ground as her went. Then, the niffler stopped and started to dig. Yes, he found something! When the niffler started running back to her and Jack with the treasure, she couldn't held but to clap again. The niffler walked over to her and sat the butterbeer cap on her lap. She picked it up and examined it. Well, it wasn't money, but it was still treasure, right?

"Good job," she told the niffler, petting it. That reminded her that they still needed to name their niffler. It couldn't stay nameless forever. That just wouldn't be right. She looked at the niffler again and then looked at the butterbeer cap. She glanced up at Jack. "Hey, Jack, that planet's name is... Sat- urn? Saturn? Yeah, Saturn," she said, actually talking to herself more than talking to Jack. She looked back down at the niffler and smiled. "You're name is going to be Saturn," she told it.

After telling the niffler it's name, she pulled the little bag that Professor Morgan gave them and slipped the butterbeer cap into the bag. "Now, off you go Saturn. Go find more treasure," she said, shooing the niffler off. The niffler turned around and started sniffing the ground again. It stopped walking near a little dirt patch and just stood their for a second until it started digging. Moment later, the niffler was running back towards them carrying a ring in it's mouth. A ring?! Uhh- well, someone lost a ring. It could have been a past student who use to attend Hogwarts. Who knew? The niffler headed over to Jack, dropping the ring at his feet.
