The Quidditch World Cup wasn’t the only excitement that took place this busy summer in the UK. Reports have been gathered from various sources of the mysterious sightings of a niffler running around Diagon Alley among the maddening crowds out school supply shopping or just going about their business enjoying the nice weather. Or was it more than one creature? No one talked to could be sure it wasn’t the same one every time. Some can’t even prove that they weren’t just imagining things in the hub bub.

All we know was the fountain was quite busy getting upset with passersby’s even though they all swear that they gave money to the stone guardian just outside the Leaky Cauldron’s courtyard entrance to the alley. And there may or may not have been curious shadows around Espresso Patronum while its patrons were enough a respite from their shopping. Not to mention Wiseacre’s Wizarding Equipment and its customers had its fair share of surprises as one of the most well-stocked homes of reflective surfaces to attract the lovers of precious metals.

Thank goodness Gringotts seemed to have escaped with all its galleons, sickles and knuts. Or at least this reporter hasn’t heard through the grapevine of any unfortunate and unexpected withdrawals from the wizarding bank.

Could the pickpocket previously reported be of a fuzzy variety or was there a duo of troublemakers in Diagon Alley since this summer?

We may never know.

I just advise everyone to keep their valuables close and their shinies extra secure from now on.
