Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students were very satisfied with the stunning debut of the new school uniforms.
After all, at this moment, they were the most dazzling group of Young Wizards at Hogwarts, and with the scarves and knitted vests, they were really much warmer.
Of course, even more satisfied were Karl, Judy, and the other members of the Anxin Fire Clothing Shop.
The fashion show was very effective, which was evident from the envious glances of the Gryffindor and Slytherinstudents.
Even during an intense Quidditch match, with their own house teams playing, it still couldn't fully capture their attention; they would occasionally turn their heads to peek.
It was predictable that it wouldn't be long before the little lions and little snakes would also switch to their exclusive school uniforms.
Oh, wow! This is great!
In a good mood, Karl also began to watch the match with interest.
Although he had no intention of participating in Quidditch, it was quite interesting to sit leisurely in the stands and watch the players on their broomsticks, going back and forth, openly and secretly competing.
It was like in his previous life, Karl didn't participate in extreme sports, but it didn't stop him from enjoying watching related videos.
Especially from a first-person perspective, after satisfying his eyes, he would often exclaim, "We're really amazing!"
At this moment on the Quidditch Pitch, the match between Gryffindor and Slytherin had reached a fever pitch.
Lee Jordan, who was also the commentator, began to rap with his natural talent, making it feel like listening to a crosstalk performance.
First, he praised Charlie Weasley as a heaven-sent genius, brave and skilled in battle, truly worthy of being the Gryffindor Captain.
Then he spoke of Oliver Wood as extraordinarily brave and exceptionally talented, undoubtedly a fierce player.
Even the reserve players who hadn't yet played, AliciaSpinnet, Angelina Johnson, and the brothers George and Fred, were heavily praised by him, stating directly that the team had successors.
Of course, in the end, he didn't forget to complain that Slytherin's tactics were despicable and their playing style was Fraud , and they should be directly penalized with a loss.
Professor McGonagall was so angry that her eyes widened, wishing she could go up and pull his ear for a lecture.
...
Just as Karl, Shabi, and Stebbins were chatting away, Nina walked over from the Ravenclaw stands and gave him a pitiful look.
"You two continue chatting; your godfather will return to lecture you later."
Ignoring their winks, Karl followed Nina out of the stands and came to the outside of the Quidditch Pitch.
"What's wrong?"
"A small accident occurred."
"Is it serious?"
"It's hard to say."
"Is it urgent?"
"We can take our time, but we must be quick."
Karl: (¬ _ ¬)
This conversation sounds familiar... You're saying all my lines!
Nina looked left and right, then leaned in and whispered, "My Niffler just ran off somewhere when I wasn't looking."
A Niffler?
Is that the magical creature with the legendary dragon's greed for wealth and a pocket like Doraemon's?
In many people's hearts, raising a Niffler is considered a small trick to get rich, a method that leads to prison.
"You brought a Niffler to school?"
"I've been taking care of it since it was small, so I couldn't bear to leave it at home."
Karl looked back at the stadium stands, "So it must have... made quite a haul by now, right?"
Nina nervously smoothed her hair, her tone very awkward, "Y-yes, that's why I asked you to help."
Giving her a speechless look, Karl called out Fire Treasure.
"Chirp!"
Understanding the situation, Fire Treasure took a deep breath, and a soaring fighting spirit ignited in its big eyes.
"Fire Treasure can sense the heart-fire of all living creatures; a Niffler can't hide."
"Let's find it quickly, or else the Young Wizards will start crying."
Karl and Nina transformed simultaneously and tacitly into two Jungle Cats, rushing onto the stands to search carefully.
...
Although the Young Wizards didn't recognize these two cats, it wasn't strange for cats to appear at Hogwarts.
As long as it wasn't Filch's Madam Norris, everyone rather liked these little cuties, so they let Karl and Ninarun around freely.
Under Fire Treasure's radar-like heart-fire sensing, the two quickly finished searching Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Gryffindor.
Well, they should have thought of it from the beginning.
If it came to which house had more Galleons, Sickles, and jewelry on them, it would definitely be Slytherin.
It was just that Professor Snape was sitting in the little snakes' stands, and they were both a bit reluctant to go over.
Although they didn't know why they were let off last time, if they were discovered this time, it wouldn't be a simple five-point deduction.
"Chirp!"
Just as they bravely ran near the Slytherin stands, they received a warning from Fire Treasure.
Karl looked in the direction it indicated and indeed found a Niffler, but it had already left the little snakes' stands.
This little fellow looked like a platypus and an echidna, covered in black fur, appearing very adorable.
It was currently dragging a glittering necklace, stuffing it into its pocket as it ran.
Looking at the Niffler's escape route, Nina, in her Jungle Cat form, even stumbled in her pursuit, almost tripping and falling to the ground.
Karl understood this, as he was almost the same, but thankfully, his reaction was quicker.
After stealing from the students, this unlucky Nifflerheaded directly towards Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Professor Sprout.
"Oh? Where did this Niffler come from?"
Unlike the crowded student stands, there were no obstructions where the three Professors were sitting.
So Professor McGonagall easily spotted the Niffler, and with a flick of her wand, the ground transformed into a cage, trapping it.
"Did a Niffler from the Forbidden Forest escape?"
Professor Sprout's greenhouse had been visited by Nifflers before, but thankfully, the plants inside weren't their target.
"Well, it seems Sylvanus will have another headache with these little creatures."
Professor Flitwick was referring to Professor Kettleburn of Care of Magical Creatures, a very legendary Professor.
After all, few people would undergo at least sixty-two probationary periods during their tenure at Hogwarts, not to mention he now only had one arm and half a leg.
"Perhaps... it won't be necessary."
Professor McGonagall looked helplessly at the two awkwardly approaching Jungle Cats, her tone hard to describe.
She didn't explain to the two Professors but summoned the caged Niffler into her hand, then stood up and walked towards the Castle.
Karl and Nina exchanged glances, then quickly followed behind Professor McGonagall with small, quick steps.
Professor Sprout and Professor Flitwick watched them, a thoughtful expression on their faces.
...
Hogwarts Castle, second floor, Gryffindor Dean's office.
Professor McGonagall placed the cage on the table and sat down in the high-backed chair behind it.
The two Jungle Cats obediently squatted side by side on the floor in front of the desk, heads bowed, ears drooping, and even their fluffy long tails motionless, looking pitiful.
"Karl?"
Professor McGonagall saw one of them raise a front paw, then looked at the other, "Nina?"
So both Jungle Cats made the same gesture, almost making her laugh in exasperation.
"Don't play innocent with me here! Transform back immediately!"
No sooner had she spoken than Karl and Nina instantly transformed back into human form, with the same innocent expression on their faces.
"Hehe~ Professor~" × 2
"Hufflepuff loses ten points, Ravenclaw loses thirty points. Do you have any objections?"
Karl, Nina: (╯ □ ╰)
