After the niffler had gone back under the ground, Vanessa had remained on the floor, so that the niffler could drop off the coins more easily.
"ooh...we have like 14 now." Vanessa commented, as more coins were dropped in front of her. Stroking the nifflers ears, Vanessa smiled, whilst dropping the coins into the bag.

Nixy! 05-29-2009 09:19 PM
Iris sat in silence for a little while, naomi not saying anything either, both watching the dirt. The Niffler had been gone for AGES! "oh here he is now..." she said to herself " hey boy , got us lots of treasure?" Iris looked rather dissapointed when just one coin was dropped in her lap, she patted the niffler and said" never mind boy, go on! go find some more!" she then turned to Naomi, "so that's 34 coins, 4 chains, a broken ring, and a bit of metal." whoo!! Iris really hoped they were in the lead :D

"Sarah, what-" Mariel did not have time to finish her thought before Sarah pounced on one of the other nifflers, claiming victory. "Sarah!" she half-shrieked with eyes wide. Shaking her head 'no', the third year said, "No, we don't catch the nifflers... we just follow after them and collect what they find. They should bring the treasure to us."

Now where did her niffler go? Mariel glanced around for the creature she had momentarily taken her eyes off. Oh there he was, coming straight for her. Hmm, guess he realized that the third year had 'claimed' him. Holding out her hands in front of him, he spit out a few coins in her palm and took off again.

"Look, Sarah," she said to the Hufflepuff as she showed what was in her hands. "He knows he's ours. Let's follow him around to see what else he'll find." She took a few steps forward as she watched their little niffler dive back into the dirt.
Sarah stopped in her tracks as Mariel called to her. "What? We're not meant to catch them first?" Oh dang,well that was a waste of time.Good job Mariel had already claimed one then because the one she released hadn't come back.
Watching with interest she saw a little Niffler return to them and hand over some coins to Mariel.Beaming at her friend she nodded too. "He does! That's how many?" she asked counting the coins. "7! We've got 7 already! He's goooood."
Sarah practically squealed as it set off again in search of more booty,with Mariel and her in close behind.

After several minutes he returned yet again,mouth full of gold coins. Sarah bent down and picked them up as he dropped them at her feet,before yet again scuttling off towards the trees. "1.2.3.4.5.6......6 more!" She beamed,handing them to Mariel for her to put them safely inside the pouch.Don't want to be losing any.

"C'mon buddy, find us some TREASURE!" The seventh year encouraged with a bounce. It seemed to have worked and the fluffy niffler scuttled back and spat out even MORE coins. WOOT!
So Evangeline supposed that once you forgot about the millions of nifflers running around and concentrated only on one ... well, they were cute. And fluffly. Evangeline almost wondered if theirs was ticklish. Not that she'd ever tickle it, though!

"Ooh...well done, boy! Or .. girl." Eh. How could she know if it was male or female? With a shrug, Evangeline smiled up at Clifford before bending down and getting the three coins their Niffler had brought them, before dropping them onto the small pouch. "Oooh! Look! He's off again!" She told Clifford, closing the pouch and pointing to where their niffler was going.

As the two were chatting and watching the dirt fly, the niffler continued to shovel through the ground at very high speeds. Chunks of earth were flying up and every which way from the hole that it had stared. A small shiny tin box came flying out of the hole moments later. Lily walked over to it and opened the lid, looking at the contents. It contained a multitude of small knick knacks, photos, and other seemingly unusable items.

"I guess this must be related to that picture frame that the niffler dug up earlier. Pretty cool, it's like a time capsule."
"That's kinda awesome" Ash said getting a better look at the little box while a silver goblet flew out of the hole and towards the girls heads. Ash moved the pouch to catch the goblet before it hit anybody

"Right." she said. Jule chest began to hurt badly but she tried not to show it. Darn chest pains.

Mugglemad 05-29-2009 09:22 PM
The niffler comes back with a ring, she wondered who that belonged to.

As the patch flew over their heads Ricco turned to the girl "Im Ricco" He said just before his niffler came back with 3 more silver coins, Rubbing a bit of mud off of it he put the coins in the pouch. "Thats us up to 49" he exclaimed
Well, Merlins Fuzzy White Bunny Slippers! "Forty-nine?!" This was inCREDible! The niffler was digging again already, "Look at it goooo!" Hayley squealed in excitement. She watched as it dug for a few minutes, found nothing, and then ran off to dig somewhere else.

Soon after, the lil fuzzy ball was back with a pretty sliver necklace and a 3 gold coins, "OOoo! Look at the shiniesss!"

Lord Divadicus 05-29-2009 09:23 PM
"Are you okay Jule, you just grabbed your chest!?" Divad asked widly, he was now concerned.

Liisa 05-29-2009 09:23 PM
Professor Morgan looked around, happy to see that everyone was having fun. "Alright guys, a few more minutes and then I will be putting the nifflers back in their cages. Is there anyone here has yet to find a coin yet?" She asked.


OOC: If you already have over 20 coins its probably fair to say that your niffler has found all he's going to find. Be realistic please. She deposited a SMALL bag of coins in the soil if you recall. Not all of Gringotts.

Then he remembered Sarah, she smiled and yet she still managed to scare him. Proceeding cautiously over to the girl, George smiled a little weakly "Hi... I'm.. George..." he introduced himself quietly.

Simone smiled sweetly to the boy. He looked a little nervous as he was walking towards them. "Hello George. I am Simone Morgan, and this here is Jake Upstead. Fellow huffies it seems." She grinned and put the little niffler on the ground. He started to scurry off. "C'mon, lets follow him."

"Erm," Jake murmured, tilting his head at the creature. Everyone was somehow getting looooaaaaads of coins which couldn't have been placed there... there was farrrrrr too many... was there cheaters? Hmmm? HMMMMM?.

Oh, and here was their niffler... dragging... a rather large pendant. Um... nice. "Not my style," Jake smirked, reaching down to pick it up and pet the niffler. "But thanks, brah," he added, watching the creature run back off into the dirt.

Simone watched as the niffler was spinning about. She was hopping they didnt ahve a moranic niffler, when suddenly it flew into a bush, and came out with a beautiful pendant. "Oh. Thats just gorgeous! Good job!" She patted the little guy on the head. "Now go find us something else."

The little niffler scurried about again in the same fashion, but then ran in the other direction. "I wonder what hes found us?" She said to both boys, while following the little guy.

Evangeline was right, he WAS off again. "I wonder if these things ever get tired," Clifford wondered out loud as he watched the niffler dive in and out of the dirt piles, burrowing himself here, there and everywhere. He was sure their niffler was acting more hyper than the rest. It was like it was on some crazy sugar rush or something.

"Oooooh, what's this?" As he leant down, the niffler looked up at him through small, beady eyes and spat an old screw in his hand. Eh. "That's not treasure!" Hmpf. But it WAS shiny.

Taking the little bag that had two coins now, Willow followed Rachel to the not-so-particularly-crowded place she had chosen. Which was good, because it meant that there were bound to be more coins in here considering that everyone was searching in the same place - which wasn't the place the two of them were standing now. "I wonder how those people managed to get so many coins," she murmured under her breath, eyeing with a frown the students that seemed to have their hands full.

"Oh, look! He or She is coming out a again!" He or She. Nice. "I hope it's something bigger this time." That was unlikely, though, for she doubted Professor Morgan had actually hidden a real treasure.
Hahaha! He or She - nice Willow, Rachel thought as she waited for the niffler to come up, grinning at Willow with amusement. "I'm not sure... Maybe they have more than one niffler? Or supernifflers?" she said as she tried to see if they had anything that she and Willow didn't.

Sure enough, it was coming out. "Willow look!" Rachel exclaimed as the niffler dropped THREE items into her hand and immediately went back down - maybe he found many shiny things down there. "This time it's one coin, a simply golden ring and... a lump - a golden lump," she said and held the items above her head for her partner to see. "Do you think that's pure gold?" she asked, the excitement evident in her voice.

Mugglemad 05-29-2009 09:25 PM
She looked round for her partner, she had found 15 coins so far. There mustn't be many more.

Watched as Ash caught the goblet in the pouch, "Haha nice job! I think our niffler is getting a bit tired with all of this high speed digging."

The niffler was taking a quick break next to the hole, breathing rapidly in order to catch its breath.

"Melanie, second year Hufflepuff. Nice to meet you." Melanie recited, letting out a relieved sigh that the Ravenclaw wanted to work with her. So she had a partner now and a niffler and all she needed was....

Some more coins.

Melnaie watched the niffler with interest as he expertly dug his claws into the ground, searching for coins and other treasures among the dirt and rocks. She felt weird, just sitting there while he did all the work... She wanted to help. Melanie wasn't sure what she could do though so she simply sat there, humming a tune as the niffler clawed at the ground, finally unearthing two coins, a sickle and a knut, as well as what looked rather like a bent up pipe.

"Professor?" she began, raising her hand. "Is there anything we can do to help the niffler?" she asked curiously, wanting to help him find some treasure.

Meh Reh 05-29-2009 09:27 PM
Fourteen. Fourteen trinkets was all that Karma had, while the others yelled about the over thirty they all had. Hmph. Ohhh well.

Her niffler came back up one more time, looking tired. She petted the little creature, smiling.

"Good job," she said. "You must be tired now."

Star-Lord 05-29-2009 09:27 PM
"It hurts when I run around too much. But...I'll be...okay." she breathed slowly, hoping to make it go away. Then a bracelet and 4 coins came up. "That's 16 i think."

Okay, so they were a bit behind some of the other groups, but they'd get there sooner or later. Besides, Sammy was a trooper, and he'd bring them back a ton of shiny objects in no time! With a final pat on the back, Anna released Sammy the Niffler back out into the paddock. She giggled softly as he scurried around, actively seeking out any shiny objects buried by the professor. "Gooo, Sammy!" she called out, clapping her hands and cheerling loudly.

"Oh, look," Anna said to both Shana and Brant, pointing at their niffler. "He's found something long and shiny! I think he might have a necklace!" Anna continued to watch as the niffler scurried around, picking up a few more objects before getting a mouthful and scurrying back over to the group. When he got there, he dropped a long, shiny, gold necklace and three coins only the ground. "Oh, it is a necklace!" she said, dropping all four into the pouch.
Brant laughed when Anna looked a the pretty necklace, she didn't seem like she wanted to let the necklace go. It was Brants turn to release and catch "Sammy", He saw the Niffler dive right into the dirt. He seemed to be down there for a long time. Brant was starting to get worried when he saw a little nose poke out of the top layer of dirt. Running its way back Brant knelt down on his knees and petted Sammy, for he brought them a gold coin. "What a good little guy, your doing awesome. Get us some more things little dude." letting him go back to the dirt he waited.

Two minutes later Sammy came back, carrying a ring in its mouth. "Awesome dude, he got us a nice ring" Laughing. Letting Sammy go back again. this time he took, 5 minutes looking around for the last of the treasures. Sammy busted out of the dirt with a nice silver coin and ran towards Brant so fast that Sammy knocked Brant over. Picking up the coin off the ground he counted what the niffler brought back and put it into the pouch. Laughing while getting up.

Ricco gave some of his coins to some of the students that didnt have many before walking over to Professor morgan and handing in his coins "The Niffler is over there miss" he said pointing to the little guy digging again.

EquestrianGal88 05-29-2009 09:29 PM
Lettie watched and waited for the niffler to come out of his hole again. He'd been down there for ages. "I'm calling him Bandit." Leticia said as the niffler finally came back out, looking around and then jumped back in the soil.
"I think he's almost done." She said to Ott, opening up the bag and taking a peek inside, looking over all their gold bits. "Did a pretty good job though...I think we have over twenty-four coins and other stuff."

"Thanks I practiced" Ash said laughing "I think that little buddy is done"Ash said looking at the now sleeping niffler

Lord Divadicus 05-29-2009 09:29 PM
"Yes! Keep it coming!" Divad said, but realizing there may be nothing more to dig up. "I'm just worried Jule, you seem to be in pain more and more these days..." Divad said, trying not to get in a fight...

Star-Lord 05-29-2009 09:31 PM
"I think that's it." she said. Jule went to sit under a tree and took her cloak off. "I know. But i dunno why either. My body is very delicate."

Lily walked over to the niffler and began to pet the sleeping creature. "He deserves a rest after that great job of digging he did." Lily looked at the professor, "If our niffler is done looking for shiny objects, should we turn in our bag to you now?"
