Naomi walked up to the professor. "Thanks professor morgan we need this. We already have 11 coins and a chain." Naomi walked back to Iris and sat back down next to her. "Did our niffler come back with any more?"

Iris looked aruond at the other people... there wasn't any sign of them doing any better then they were... but at the same time, there were no signs to say they were doing worse. "11 coins and a chain eh? cool. " Iris said, keeping an eye out for their niffler.

Since Ricco was alone and the Professor had ignored him Ricco watched as his Niffler ran around the patch really fast stopping to dig every few seconds knocking up coin after coin. Picking up the coins Ricco took a pouch and counted them as they went in, "1 gold..nope 3 gold" He said out loud "and ..2...no wait 4 silver coins". 7 coins was great.

Lord Divadicus 05-29-2009 08:41 PM
"We have 4 now! Yay!" Divad said, picking up the fourth coin.

Loading the picture frame and coins into the magical pouch, Lily grinned, "Awesome job Ash. Seems like you picked out a pretty good niffler! Let's just wait and see what other things he digs up for us. I have a feeling that something really cool is buried just waiting for us to discover it."

The niffler continued to dig deeper into the hole, completely unseen now except for the piles of dirt flying up from the top of the hole in a dusty cloud.

Laura tripped. Whoa... The floor was coming closer...closer. Laura put her hands out in front of her to protect her and closed her eyes. Bump. Her hands were cold. Opening her eyes, she realised that they had come into contact with her Nifflers snout, and that her had another three coins. "Well done lil guy!" she exclaimed. Now they had eight!

Syd 05-29-2009 08:42 PM
Hmm...*searches for Satine* ;)
 
Kel grinned as 'his' niffler came back to him with two gold coins. He pet it on it's head, then watched as it scampered off somewhere else and began digging again with it's funny-shaped paws. Kel glanced at Satine, still smiling, and took a few steps toward the animal, while giving it some space.

Mugglemad 05-29-2009 08:43 PM
"I have 5 coins!" Just then her niffler come back with another gold coin "Sorry make that 6 coins!"

"What about that one that pounced on your first, he had a bit of white on his nose." She looked around for him and finally saw him amid the others. "Ah there he is!" She pointed towards him.

Notcing a boy didnt have a partner she yelled out to him, "OI! You there. Want to join us?" She gave him a small smile and waved him over.

Listening to the professor instructions she walked closer to the niffler they had picked out and waited for it to come to her. "Like this Jake watch him." She watched as the cute little thing scurried over to her. She picked it up swiftly, and cuddled it close. "Cute little bugger you are."

...

Then suddenly, with the pouch in her hand, she remembered something important.

"OH CLASS!! Each of you need one of these pouches too. To keep your treasure in. I don't think it would be pretty if the ground became empty and your hands were not." She said, quickly passing a small charmed pouch to each team. Thankfully avoiding disaster. Gee! What was with her lately?
Jake watched as everyone seemed to rush around, he blinked and regarded them. Silly people. Simone seemed to have picked a niffler, and they had a new partner. Maybe... if he decided to join them.

... :gasp:

PROFESSOR MORGAN WAS MEEEEEEEEAN!

"I'll need it back, or it'll heal over," Jake pointed out, taking one of the pouches she was handing out. SO THERE! Ya meanie bo-beanie! He should have brought more... but he only had that one. "So... you... kinda hafta give it back," he added, reaching up to his earringless ear before deciding he should get on with the lesson. Smirking a tad and toterly pushing his luck, Jake backed away.

She was excited, and no, she was not afraid to admit. With a smile widening across her face, Anna set her eyes on the professor, still ready and waiting. She nodded when the professor warned them to be careful. Of course she didn't want any accidents. That was no fun. Nope, none at all.

As soon as the professor flicked her wand and the nifflers were free, Anna started to take off and chase after one. However, when she realized that may very well scare the poor little guys, she stopped herself and instead knelt to the ground. Should she call a niffler? I mean, did it come to people like dogs did? Hmmm...only one way to find out. "Hey, little guy," she said, slowly crawling on all fours towards a nearby niffler. "Come now. I'm not going to hurt you." Her hands outstretched, Anna edged closer and closer to the niffler. Finally, just when she thought it may run away, it slipped neatly into her hand. Smiling and standing, Anna hurried over to Brant and Shana. "Alright, I've got one. Now all we have to do is have it locate some shiny thing for us!"
Shana smiled,Aww the little Nifflers were all walking round like lost little phoneix or something how cuute.Then Anna brought one back.Aww Can I stroke it ? She petted the little creature and knelt down on the floor beside it.And began talking to it.Mabye they wouldn't think she was a much of a idiot as humans did.Come on,Look around for the little Shiny things.Shiny thingss are Cool.NOW RUUN.

Thinking about something totally random he thought Anna would make a good mom. "Good one Anna, lets go over to the edge of the hearth and let him or her loose." Walking to the edge he noticed some students Nifflers going in and out of the dirt like swimming in water and some were slower.

Hayley was in a mild state of panic. She didn't have a partner! Or a niffler! She looked around frantically before spotting someone who also seemed to be on their own, "Hi, uhm...I don't have a partner! And it looks like you don't either...can I join you? My..My name's Hayley, Hayley Evans." Gosh she hoped he'd let her join him! She wanted these points!

Star-Lord 05-29-2009 08:44 PM
Jule laughed. "Dig niffler!" she said.

Meh Reh 05-29-2009 08:44 PM
JACKPOT!

Karma's niffler came back up to her and spit out four more treasures into her hand. Then, as fast as the girl niffler came up, it went back underground.

Karma looked around to see how the others were doing, but quickly put her objects in the pouch. NO need to get attacked by the others here.

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.

Oh boy. Now that they were out, Evangeline wasn't so sure if they were cute. They resembled large mouses ... and mouses carried diseases. BAD BAD DISEASES. Evangeline was too young to die, thank you very much! restraining herself from standing on the bench, Evangeline looked at clifford and shrugged. "I suppose we're meant to ... catch one.." And touch it?! Ew.

Harron Peasley 05-29-2009 08:45 PM
The Niffler rushed back to Laura yet again. Impressed by his amazing sense for finding things, she stooped and picked up the five coins he was holsing. "Thirteen now!" she exclaimed. "Wow, you really are good!"

Mugglemad 05-29-2009 08:45 PM
She turned to the girl "You can join me if you like!"

EquestrianGal88 05-29-2009 08:46 PM
Dang. The niffler hadn't come back for some time, and Lettie was watching on as it dove in and out of the soil. She continued to check her bag, not daring to take any out in case a stray niffler wanted to steal.
She sighed and waited as it came over finally, but with a piece of scrap metal or something from a busted bracelet. Leticia praised it, and the niffler darted off again to search more.

Charmante 05-29-2009 08:46 PM
Popping a few pieces of silver into the bag Lettie was holding. He watches intently to make sure they don't miss anything their niffler digs up. "Great job" he croons to the little creature.

harrys_other_broom 05-29-2009 08:47 PM
The niffler came running back with its mouth full. It dropped the items into Naomi's hands. She began to count them out and put them in the pouch Professor Morgan gave her. "Well that was 6 gold coins, 5 silver, and 3 silver chains. So that makes a total of 17 gold coins 5 silver, and 4 chains." She said with a smile to Iris.

They ran through the waiting students and past them.

A few reacted quickly and hurried after their nifflers. Kiri was a little nonplussed for a few moments, she just stood there, staring at the creatures who immediately began digging like mad, sending earth and grass flying in wide arcs. "Come on," Kiri said, tugging on Jude's robes. (She had no problems touching him, unlike with Raiden.)
"Let's follow one of them. Err... That one, with the white hair coming out of its ears." She pointed and started after it, across the field.
Jude perked up and got excited and ran after Kiri. "Okayy!!!" he said, "'Ow're weh suppost ta do this?" he asked, confusedly.

Elizabeth gave up on the idea of having a partner, as a niffler came running up to her and tried to crawl up her leg, obviously going for her pocket. She laughed a little, crouching down and seting it back on the ground, before sticking her hand in her pocket. "Okay, little guy. It's just you and me. And you're supposed to go over there and try and find me some coins," she siad to the little creature in a low voice, pitching it under the noise everyone else was creating. Pulling her hand out of her pocket, she had the necklace the Gryffindor girl had given her hidden in her fist, although she knew the niffler had to know it was there, especially since his shiny little eyes had gone immediately to it and he had started fidgeting.

"Go and get me lots of coins, and then I'll let you have this, okay?," she then said, trying to make a deal with the niffler. Which she had to stifle a giggle, considering it seemed hilarious she was practically blackmailing a creature. Nicely of course, but it was still there. But luckily, the niffler seemed to decide she was trustworthy, and turned to run over to the pile of earth the other nifflers were digging in, wiggling his way into the middle and diving into the earth wholeheartedly.

Elizabeth shifted to sit down cross-legged on the ground, sticking her hand back into her pocket for the time being as she waited for her niffler to return. And she laughed as he came back, depositing two coins on the ground in front of her before going back to the dirt. Apparently she had gotten the niffler that took motivation wholeheartedly. And he returned several more times, always bringing back at least one or two coins, and she started gathering them up, as her pile reached eight, nine coins. And when it reached twelve, she shook her head in disbelief as the niffler went back for more, and she took the Gryffindor's necklace out and laid it on the ground under one knee, deciding to let her niffler have it if her wanted, next time he came back.

Iris grinned as the niffler came up to them. "wow... that's alot, I'm glad your keeping tabs on it all bacause maths and counting and all that never was my expertise!" she said, laughing at their luck.

Iris grinned as the niffler came up to her and deposited a funny looking, broken ring and 5 coins in her lap, "hey, Naomi, they'are 5 coins and some broken ring."

Hmmm. "Or not," Clifford grinned boyishly in excitement when an extra fluffy niffler literally tackled him and spat out a couple of coins right in his lap.

RESULT!

They hadn't even had to DO anything! Before he had a chance to do anything else, the niffler had shot off again, scuttling back under the dirt. Awesoome. "Hyper little things, ain't they?" He chuckled, depositing the coins in the little pouch professor Morgan had supplied.

Result!!!, he screamed in his head as his niffler found coin number 15, suddenly a girl came up to him partnerless "Of course you can be my partner" he said as he picked up another coin his niffler had found.

Right. No approaching them too abruptly. Willow had forgotten that much, for, to be honest, she had been paying that much attention to the instructions Professor Morgan had delivered. Actually, she never paid attention during Care of Magical Cratures. At all.

And to think she'd passed her Care of Magical Creatures OWL exam.

"I don't think he minded that much, really. Actually, I don't think he's aware that we are waiting for whatever it is that he's looking for." Or was it a She? Willow wasn't sure how, but the thing looked like a boy to her. "Ohhh. I think he's coming out with something." It was shiny. Hmmmm. But, since the thing was not completely out of the hole it had digged yet, it was a bit hard to tell what it was exactly.
"Yeah, adorable too," Rachel laughed and raised her eyebrows slightly. Adorable? I don't know if I would say adorable - it's a slightly strong word to use for a ratlike creature, but I suppose... Besides, it's weird to hear the word come out of Willow's mouth.

"Are you sure it's a he? They all look like males, so it's pretty hard to tell," she commented as she waited expectantly for the niffler to come out already. Why was it taking so long? ... Aha! She grinned as she saw it stick it's head out of the hole with something shiny, just like Willow had said.

As it fully emerged from the ground, Rachel knelt down and smiled at the little thing. "Hey there, little fellow - want to give me that?" she said in a soft, warm voice as she held out her hand slowly for him to place the coin in. She remained there for a few moments and watched the niffler as it seemed to regard her with its eyes, then broke into a smile as it dropped the coin into her hand and went scuffling back into it's hole.

"Oh, thank you professor," she said as she handed each pair a pouch for their coins. Turning back to Willow, she showed her the small coin with a victorious smile. "One down - hopefully lots more to go," she said and dropped it into the pouch with a satisfied air.
