After her second shower today, Amber decided to do what she really liked: taking a stroll through the beast reserve. Although it was quite a walk until the area, it was worth it. Often enough she could spot some of the magical creatures here and there, thus often enough Amber could be found here, especially if she needed something against homesickness or to cheer her up.

Her feet lead her automatically to the sandpit. Maybe she could spot some Niffler today... And she had just the perfect thing for them!

Amber reached in her pocket and brought out a Shiny Gem. She gave the gem a few rubs with one of her sleeves, so that it was starting to sparkle more. Then she hold it with a few fingers in front of her while smiling.

"So, someone here who wanna take my oh so shiny gem from me?"

Excited she waited if she could attract a Niffler.

It was fair to assume Amber was quite alone at the Sandpit. There didn't seem to be any Nifflers on the sand but a little patience would soon be rewarded.

Or maybe it was the extra sparkle from the gem?

A Niffler that seemed a lot smaller than those typically found here was the first to approach Amber. It could be mistaken for being a lot younger than the others but the reality was it was just small.

Its fur was a russet colour, flecked with lighter and almost golden-looking patches and its long snout and claws were a soft pink. The way it moved over the sad betrayed its shy and reserved nature. It approached Amber in fits and starts.

Eventually it came to a stop a few feet away from her, gazing towards the student with glossy black eyes and waiting to see if the gem would be placed down onto the sand or not. Some Nifflers didn't mind approaching students in their excitement at seeing a gem, others were slightly more cautious.

This Niffler was one of the latter group.

And despite it's shyness or caution, it was obviously very excited to see the gem! Whole body wriggles made it dance on the spot as it waited.

Amber waited paitently. She knew there would be some Nifflers, just waiting for someone to to be nice and offer them something shiny.

Her endurance was rewarded: a tiny Niffler appeared and approached her carefully.

Amber smiled as he made his way over to her. He was just so cute! She loved his patches, they looked like big freckles to her.

She noticed that it seemed like one of the more cautious ones. Too bad she couldn't distribute some pets now, but it was enough for her to just watch them.

Amber needed to bite on her lip as to not let out a laugh seeing the cute wriggles of the Niffler, as she would be afraid to otherwise scare it away.

She gently put the gem on the sand, placing it a little bit farther from her away in order to make a more easy approach available to the Niffler.

"For you if you wanna?", she said in a low and gentle voice.

She was excited to see what the Niffler would the next, almost starting to wriggle like the creature before her.

The Niffler appreciated the gem being put on the sand and zoomed over. It did several circles and then picked up the gem, falling onto its back. The gem danced and juggled between feet and paws while the Niffler stared intently.

Just as quickly, it was back upright and the gem had mysteriously disappeared -- tucked out of sight before Amber could realize it was gone.

It seemed to appraise Amber for a second too and was that a nod? Before it dived towards a mound of sand and dug furiously. Despite its small size, the Niffler was able to tunnel quickly and was soon out of sight again.

The wait seemed to last seconds? Minutes? How long had passed? It was one of those waits that felt like it stretched out super long when in reality it had only been less than a minute.

It backed out of the sand, butt first but spun around and hurried back to Amber. As it drew closer, she could see the glint of something in its mouth and its steps slowed until it was a few feet away. Just like before.

Shyly proud of itself, the Niffler darted forward and placed a silver key down on the sand for Amber to take. Before she would have a chance to touch it, however, it darted away again.

With the job done and a shiny new gem to adore, the Niffler disappeared over the lumps and bumps in the sand and left Amber with her own prize.

Amber observed quietly the Niffler. It was funny and cute how it began to snatch the gem away.

After it seemed like it played shortly with the gem, she blinked only ones and the gem was gone.

In the next moment, the Niffler started digging. While Amber was just happy watching the Niffler, sje was also quite curious if the creature would find something. If you were lucky, they usually did find some stuff for you.

The Niffler was out of sight and Amber had to wait. And wait. And wait.... It felt like an eternity to her and she was starting to believe it wouldn't come back.

That would be a bummer is would have loved to watch it some more.

Suddenly, a Niffler butt appeared out the sand again. Amber recognised instantly the golden patches and she smiled.

But what was that, what was glistening in his mouth?

Oh, a silver key!

Her eyes shined brightly. Before she could even touch the key, the Niffler already made his way back to the sands.

"Thanks for the key, I hope you enjoy you're new gem! See you next time!"

Amber tucked the key away safely, and as no other Niffler was to be seen, she decided to head back to the castle. Maybe it was time to use one of her keys...
