Eyes going wide at Simone's antics, Jake cracked a smile of his own, "I only played last year... but yeah, Seeker. What about y-"

Jake suddenly broke off, realising that people were being docked points for talking.

And with a flick of her wand, each cage door sprung open. OOC: We have to begin now. If you still don't have a partner, PM me.

And just in time. Suddenly, the cage doors sprung open, and a particularly EVIL niffler pounced STRAIGHT. AT. JAKE.

"What do we-" he squeaked, trying to duck and becoming tackled by another. Did they know about his earring? No... he was just paranoid... right? Picking himself back up, Jake straightened his shirt. "-do?" he finished.

Divad followed it to the treasure, but kept falling and stumbling as he went along.

giggling slightly to herself Ash pointed out a niffler near the middle and said "Let's try for that one there" while walking silently over to the pack

Laura ran after one of the Nifflers. It was one of the fastest, yup, and that was good. Faster they got the treasure, faster the won those points back. Leaping, she skidded, and cornered it in a tight hug. Oohhh, it was so soft and fluffy!
Then she let it go again! It flew fast to the ground and began digging. Mud went all over Laura, silver mud...

SILVER! Laura ducked down and grabbed the two coins the Niffler had dug up. WOW!

Jule ran behind Divad and their niffler. She couldn't help but giggled. "Let's try and find the treasure."

Eeeeee! The cages were open! Now, time to catch one.

Karma spotted a particularly fuzzy one, who looked rather snuggly too. It reminded her of her old dog, CeeCee, and she went after the little creature slowly but surely.

"Well hello little one," she said, reaching down to grab it. "Are you a boy or girl?"

"Ooh...come on....we need to get the most." Vanessa giggled, grabbing Miles' hand so that she wouldn't lose him. Smiling at Professor Morgan she nodded at what she said, making a mental note to make sure that none of the hufflepuff's would be messing around.
As Professor Morgan left the nifflers outs, Vanessa watched them come out. Looking around, she pointed at one of the nifflers, who was looking like it was about to burrow underground. "That one?"

"Beat who?" Rachel asked distractedly as she surveyed the class with narrowed eyes as spotting a few Ravenclaw first years talking. Stupid kids, they're going to lose us points! She blinked suddenly as she realised she knew exactly who Willow was talking about, and chuckled.

"Oh, yeah, me too - or if we don't, then at least a pair of Ravenclaws," she replied with a firm nod of her head, still shooting death glares at the two babblers. In her opinion, winning the House Cup this year was just even more important than any other year because she wanted to prove to herself that she could multi-task properly - get 'O's in all her OWLs as well as be a good Prefect and make sure that students did their best, earned points and won the House Cup.

Professor Morgan's going to see them... she thought and then groaned as her thoughts came true. The teacher had just taken off five points for chattering. She folded her hands over her chest and pouted slightly as she wondered how on earth she was supposed to achieve her goal if people insisted on not following the rules...

Grinning as he watches the niffler digging through the dirt. He picks up the 4 coins that flew out of the hole.

She nodded, and with a determined look on her face, she dashed out towards the middle one with the shimmering onyx coat. As she approached it, she walked slowly up to it to let it know that she wouldn't harm it and tried to gauge the creature's reaction.

Divad, still running, answered Jule.

"I think its over here!" Divad said, panting and pointing. "I has to be, this Niffler is going to give me heart failure!" Divad said.

"WEEEE!" With too much excitement, and not really listening to Vannie, Miles grabbed her hand and followed one niffler specifically, one that looked very keen to find Miles ... and Vannie some treasure! ARRG!

"GO LIL' NIFFLER!" He cheered him on as he attempted to catch up with him.

Apparently, the niffler that Ott had picked out was a noisy one. It darted around and knocked another niffler out of the way, making a *Squeak* as it did so.
"I thought they were supposed to be nice." Lettie said as she watched the niffler toss heaps of soil behind itself, getting deeper and deeper into the dirt. "It's fun to watch though." She said as another scrap of something was flung towards her. At this rate, the animal would completely mutilate whatever it was trying to dig up.

Iliana marched over towards Jake and crossed her arms over her chest. "Jacob!? You're wearing something shiny." This was not a question. "Hand it over." She said, laying her hand out in front of her.

ooc = haha sorry for the delayed response... i was eating ma tea :D
 

Iris laughed, "ok Niaomi! your the boss!" Iris spotted the Niffler that Niaomi meant at once. 'awesome, we're gonna win, hopefully' she thought. Iris looked over to the professor to see what else they had to do, and she raised her hand, "um, Professor? Once we have got our Niffler, what do we do?" Iris asked sheepishly, but after all, she didn't want her and Niaomi to miss understand the professor and LOSE points.

Great, five points from Ravenclaw. Mariel shot the little chatterbox a frowny look before turning her attention back to Professor Morgan. Now even if she and Sarah won, her points for Ravenclaw would only make up for the ones the boy lost. Sigh.

Watching as the professor started to open the cages, the third year shook her head in answer to Sarah's question. "I have a feeling we'll have to return everything we find..." And then the nifflers were off. Mariel got behind an unoccupied one in pursuit of some shiny treasure.

Victoria rubgy tackled one and shouts to Divad and Jules "I got one guys"

Watching it climb over another niffler, to get a bigger patch to dig in, Ott laughs. "I guess ours is a greedy one..."

Naomi watched as the Niffler stopped and dug at the ground. When it resurfaced it was holding a shiny coin in its mouth. Naomi grabbed it from the niffler and watched it run around again. "Op there it goes again. Come on Iris!"

Jule laughed. "I'll get it." she said and ran after the niffler. With swoop of her hand, she caught it. "Okay, now you cooperate and help us find the treasure."

Hehehehe. Her niffler was a snuggly one.

"Okay missy," she said. "Time to get diggin'."

The moment Karma set the niffler on the ground, she went under. Karma danced out of happiness.

"Go go goooooo!"

Divad looked back, seeing Jule holding one in her hand.

"Good going Jule!" Divad said. He ran back to Jule. "He's a cute little guy, isn't he?" Divad asked.

WHOA. Whoa, whoa, whoa. What were they ACTUALLY meant to do? Clifford hadn't the foggiest idea. Professor Morgan hadn't really -- oh gosh. Nifflers. Lots and lots of nifflers. Were they meant to catch one? Eh? "How are we meant to know what one is ours?" Clifford frowned in confusion, hoping Evangeline would know what to do.

Ohhhhh dear.

Ohhhhhh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

"Dammit," Jake muttered, reaching up to take the silver ring from his ear. Scowling at the nifflers, Jake made sure the earring was in tact before placing it in Professor Morgan's hand. He shot a look to Simone, as if to say, 'These things are good... let's grab one... and... do you have a spare earring?'

"Sure is." she said to him.

"Okay little one, dig, dig dig!" she said to their niffler.
