"Filch... Filch?" The green eyes peeked inside the gap between the two stones, only to close in disappointment.
"Filch where are you pal?" Gerald called again after straightening up.
The niffler had gone missing since morning, and there was no clue of him. Gerald was getting worried with every minute.
He and Filch, were inseparable since the time immemorial. He did not even remember when they got so close to each other that they began sharing and sometimes ignoring each other's pain and joy.
The niffler was not only Gerald's pet but was also a reliable partner in every job.
"Filch?" Gerald hollered, looking around in worry.
He was so busy finding the niffler that he did not realise a pair of eyes watching him, following him for some time.
Ten minutes later, Gerald finally began losing hope. He was searching for Filch for three hours. He searched the niffler in the town, in the outskirts and now in the forest. But there was no clue about it.
