Mysti had taken most of the early morning to quickly set up a safe area for the Niffler Shiny hunting.  She’d had some assistance from some of the supervisors.  But now she looked over her work with a smile. And she’d also had some fun putting the coins in the ground for the Nifflers to hunt for.  Of course, she still had more in a box safely out of reach of the Nifflers, for when they needed to refresh the ground.

She couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that she was dealing with Nifflers.  It didn’t seem like that long ago that Mysti and her dear friend Fauna had been chased by some Nifflers.  They’d been trying to get Fauna’s hat, and they ended up in the lake with Sasha Schlagenweit, a fourth year Ravenclaw.  Both Fauna and Sasha were working booths at the Festival as well.  She’d hoped they’d stop by and perhaps have some fun with the Nifflers.

The poor Nifflers had some collars or leashes or something on them so the kids, or whoever, didn’t have to worry about them running too far.  They were in their own caged area until someone wanted to hunt for silvers.  Mysti was now done setting up and so took a seat in the chair provided for her.  It was still a little until the festival was to start for the day so she took the moment to relax.  It was a nice morning so she hoped they’d have a good show up too!

There were already a few people up and walking about, scoping out the activities for the morning.  Nearby was the petting zoo, though Mysti wasn’t quite sure what else there was.  She knew that Fauna would be there in the afternoon doing the face painting, so once Mysti was done with Silver Hunting, she’d probably go visit her.  Then tomorrow would also be quite fun!  Mysti was especially excited for the concerts, including Three Owl Standard!

But for now, Mysti sat and watched people.  Soon, a little girl came up and wished to find some silver.  Making sure the girl didn’t have anything too shiny on her, she smiled and started getting the girl ready.  Helping her get a Niffler, Mysti went over the rules with the girl, who looked about 8 or 9.  Once ready, the girl started giggling when the little creature started pulling her and digging in the ground.  After she got the three silver limit, the girl returned the creature, still giggling and thanked her before running off to her parents.  Mysti smiled and put the Niffler away and  waited to see if anyone else wanted to come to her booth.
