Glimmering Sun Sprites

by Artemis Nyx Lovegood

These creatures are very small in size and are typically unable to be seen. Few have been able to identify Glimmering Sun Sprites because they can only be seen for a few seconds at a time. Most people ignore the existence of these sun sprites, whether they are magical or muggle. One young woman, going by the alias Phoenix said, "At first I couldn't believe what I had seen! I originally thought that I was seeing sunlight shining off particles of dust in the air but to my surprise it wasn't! They were truly Glimmering Sun Sprites!"

Yes, some confuse Glimmering Sun Sprites with floating particles of dust but the difference between them is that the outline of the Sun Sprites brightens and dims while the rest of their bodies appear invisible. However, if one looks closely enough they can see the small faces of these sprites. Glimmering Sun Sprites, as their name implies, enjoy being outdoors in bright sunlight and when the sun goes down at night, they try to find other light sources to bask in. Although they like to remain in lighted areas, Glimmering Sun Sprites enjoy dining on dust particles.

Glimmering Sun Sprites are kind creatures that try to help people find things. They enjoy accumulating around jewels, metals, and other objects that appear to shine when light touches them. The reason these objects glow when touched by light is because when light touches the bodies of Glimmering Sun Sprites they reflect off light and give the appearance of glimmering jewels. Glimmering Sun Sprites are weak against the flash of cameras. When a camera flashes, Glimmering Sun Sprites are pushed in the direction the flash is directed and this sometimes causes people, who have had their picture taken, to see "white spots" in their blurry and disoriented state. These white spots are a result of Glimmering Sun Sprites being pushed into the eyes of the people photographed. Glimmering Sun Sprites are occasionally are drawn to people who have pure souls. The sun sprites are able to bask in the light of the person's pure soul and bring luck to that individual.

Remember, Glimmering Sun Sprites are our friends.

We at The Quibbler hope to bring you more information about Glimmering Sun Sprites and other magical creatures. Look for our next article and see what other creatures we can inform you about. Be careful of Wrackspurts and eyes open for uncommon magical creatures. Also, should anyone come across a Crumple-Horned Snorkack then please let us at The Quibbler know.

I hope you all enjoyed this first official chapter. I'll try to get the next magical creature up soon. I will try to have it typed up and posted by this Friday. Enjoy your week!
