leans in, whispering Did you know... a Niffler... loves shiny things? It... could help with... Herbology, maybe.
What would you do with a Niffler? Braid its fur or something?
giggles nervously Well, actually... You can train them to find specific objects! Like, if you need a rare herb for a potion, you can send a Niffler to search for it. They have an incredible sense of smell and can dig up hidden treasures. Can you imagine having a personal treasure-hunting companion?
Yeah, like Ron’s rat, but cooler! So cool, actually. I mean, we already have some of those shimmering berries, right? We just need the rest! This could be our ticket to an OWL!
jumps up excitedly Exactly! We could use the Niffler to find those elusive shimmering berries for our OWL exam. Just imagine the look on Madam Pomfrey's face when we ace it!
bounces on her toes Yes, yes, I know! We can practically taste that victory now! But first, we need to find a Niffler.
starts rummaging through her bag I have an idea! There's a Niffler breeder in Hogsmeade.
Whoa, hold on. A Niffler BREEDER? Since when were those even a thing? How much will this cost? And how are we going to convince Mum and Dad to let us?
pulls out a piece of parchment and quill Don't worry, I've already made a list of everything we need to do. First, we'll go to the breeder, negotiate a price crosses her fingers nervously, and hopefully convince them to let us borrow a Niffler for our OWL exams.
Yes exactly I need to start studying
grabs Ava's arm and pulls her towards the door Come on, we don't have much time! We need to gather our things and head to Hogsmeade before the shops close. We'll need some Galleons for the breeder, so let's stop by Gringotts on the way. starts walking briskly towards the exit
What about mum and dad? They won’t let us leave…
stops abruptly, thinking Oh, bloody hell! You're right, Ava. We can't just sneak out of the castle. We need their permission. We'll have to come up with a convincing reason for why we need a Niffler. Maybe we can tell them it's for a school project? If we play our cards right, they might not suspect anything.
Why don’t we use mom’s grandmother’s name she always has been there for us she always gave us treats and stuff and she would love it if we used her name to get what we want.
<Eleanor and Ava successfully convince their parents to let them borrow a Niffler for a school project. They go to Hogsmeade, negotiate a price with the breeder, and borrow a Niffler named Nudge. With Nudge's help, they find the rare shimmering berries and ace their OWL exam.>
throws her arms around Ava, hugging her tightly We did it, Ava! We actually did it! grinning from ear to ear
hugs back Hell yeah, we did it! Now let's go celebrate, loser. Butterbeams all the way!
still bouncing on her toes Absolutely! We deserve a treat after all this hard work. Let's go to Honeydukes and get as many butterbeams as we can carry.
grabs Ava's hand and pulls her towards the nearest portkey Come on, let's go! I can't wait to indulge in all those sweet, sugary treats.
laughing Lead the way, E! And no sneaking any weird stuff into my bag, alright?
whispers, stuttering D-don't worry, Ava, n-no weird stuff... just b-butterbeans and maybe some fudge... n-nothing crazy.
smirking Just remember, E, if we end up with exploding candies in our bags, I'm blaming you!
laughs nervously and quickly adjusts her grip on Ava's hand I promise, no exploding candies.
nervously fidgeting R-right, let's hurry before Honeydukes sells out of butterbeams. We need to get there as fast as possible. Come on, Ava, pick up the pace!
speaks quickly, whispering Ava, did you bring your wand? We might need it to charm some extra butterbeams into our bags.
pauses, searching her bag hurriedly I...uh...I think I left mine in my dorm room. Shit, sorry Ava. Looks like no charm for extra butterbeams this time. But don't worry, we'll still have plenty to go around!
hurriedly walks towards Honeydukes, pulling Ava along Come on, Ava! We don't have much time! We need to get there as soon as possible. glances back to make sure Ava is keeping up
walks quickly with Eleanor Right behind you, E! Lead the way!
<As Eleanor and Ava enter Honeydukes, they discover that the shop is out of butterbeams.>
oh I wanted one of those..
pouts and whispers Aw, man! No butterbeams? This sucks. What else can we get then? We need something just as sweet and yummy. Hmmm...I know! How about we go for the chocolate frogs? We can get a bunch of those and still have a great time.
Ok sure chocolate frogs sound like a great alternative
excitedly grabs Ava's hand Great idea, Ava! Chocolate frogs it is! Come on, let's hurry and grab as many as we can before someone else beats us to it. We need to stock up for the long night of studying ahead! quickly scans the shelves for chocolate frogs
whispers, stuttering C-come on, Ava, let's go, let's go! The chocolate frogs, they're... they're on this shelf. Quick, grab some and put them in our bag. We'll... we'll have plenty for both of us. jumps up and down, unable to contain her excitement
grabs a handful of chocolate frogs, laughing Yes! Get them while you can, Ava! We're gonna have a chocolate frenzy!
