 Xerxes Cadwallader- Hufflepuff
Xerxes stepped over the low fence, into the enclosure. He walked a few steps toward the center and proceeded to sit down. Immediately, several Nifflers scurried up to him and began to sniff every inch of his body they could reach. He stuck out his hand and held it in the air, giving the creatures the opportunity to smell his hand before making contact. Xerxes did not want to startle or frighten them. After a few moments, the Nifflers seemed comfortable, so he risked a gentle pat on one of their backs. The creature made a high pitched mewling noise and rubbed its head into the hand that was petting him.
Then, without warning, one of the Nifflers jumped up and went for one of the buttons on his school robes. Xerxes was momentarily taken aback, but purposefully remained still. The creature played with the button and seemed to be attempting to rip it off. Xerxes simply laughed and gave a weak chuckle.
Xerxes turned and saw another one of the Nifflers put its spade-like paws on his leg and stick its snout into his pocket. There was nothing there so the creature extracted his head, looking disappointed. The Niffler seemed to rally quickly though, for it immediately then crawled up his arm and onto his shoulder. The fur rubbing against his neck ticked a little. Xerxes gave a squirm and laughed.
