Lizzie stood by her table waiting eagerly for the little works of art to come streaming in. There was so much to cover in the time she was given, so many angles, she could get shots from. The lighting in here wasn't half bad. The woman had to tweak it a bit but that was minor. While waiting she looked to the black tent in the corner. Half the magic would happen in there a little later on.

Green eyes then rested back on the instructor and the corners of Ella's mouth twitched upwards into a small smile.

"Hello, I'm Ella." Ellasaurus. Ellaphant. Head Girl Person. "Cool camera."

Bean bags? Ella wandered over and took a seat. Then she continued to look around at the moving photos. Magical photography really was brilliant.

Oh!!! The first of them had started arriving!! The girl didn't seem overly THRILLED to be here but that was fine. Not all pictures were taken of smilers. There were a few on the wall that looked excellent. She was glad however when the girl did smile.

"Helloooooo Dear!" Said with a grin and her fingers tapping impatiently against her camera. At the moment she was trying hard not to just start snapping pictures. That would happen once they were all in the groove of things. Patience Lizzie.

She grinned at the mention of ger camera. "Isn't it?? You'd never believe the quality." Though it shouldn't be surprizing it was fantastic. Photography was her Profession afterall.

... Oh hey Ells! Grins for you.

Lizzie watched this one as he walked in. She generally took pleasure in seeing others enjoy her work and watching him admiring the pictures put an even wider grin on her face. They were magnificent weren't they?? Life captured in single moments and giving their own little flare?

"Hello!" She gave an enthusiastic nod which stopped adruptly. "Those eyes!" And the camera tapping continued. It was like her camera was begging to begin but they had to wait on the others.

Lizzie leaned against the desk, trying to hide her apprehension or perhaps impatience...

His imagination pictured a hoard of billywigs as he recalled what the Headboy had told him about Sophie Newell. Siiiigh! That girl. She did so many nice things for him and he didn't even have to ask.

And another!! This one gave no greeting but she'd assume it was implied by the way he plopped down on his chair the way he did. Clearly a good seating choice and it helped everyone to relax. She couldn't count how many of her clients she'd had to try loosening first. Stiff pictures were practically a SIN. Lizzie smiled over at the small boy and went on waiting.

"Hello.......Miss......."

Ms....something or another. That was a nice mysterious box though. That was for sure.

"Courwell." Lizzie offered helpfully to the boy who was stuck at 'Ms'. He could have left it at Ms given she hadn't yet introduced herself but he'd already started so finishing wasn't that hard. "Welcome Dear." Welcome indeed as she began taking in his facila structure.

So many picture worthy students!!

"Hello!'' Adi greeted and smiled. "See you inside.'' And really didn't feel like standing around. So he wandered into the room, taking in the bean bags, photos and tent. Was the tent to develop the photos and make them move? He waved to Alec and Ella and took a seat next to Cutty. "Hi, Cutty. What's up?'' he asked.

Oh deeeaaar. This one was in no rush at all was he? Lizzie noted the pace and was willing to tell herself he'd just woken up or come from Quidditch Practice. They still had that sport here, yes? Barbaric and useless. Pffft.

"Hi!" She returned with a bright smile. Such a cutie! He'd do wonders infront of a camera.

And of course he granted a grin to who he assumed to be the seminar leader, but completely missed the people he may have recognised, apparently rather easily distracted today.

........................ and before long, Toby quickly found himself fidgeting and tapping. Sitting still was unfun.

This one had excitement written all over him!! This was fantastic. The woman oftened fed off the energy of those she was working with and he would be enough to keep her going. Lizzie watched him take in her pictures, feeling satisfied all over again. They were put up in the room for looking at purposes and that was happening.

The woman gave a wide grin and a nod in response to his grin and was almost set to snap a photo but remembered again the need for patience while the others filed in. This was going to be harder than she thought!!

She looked to the door again, wondering how many more to be expecting.

Welcome to Hogwarts. My name is Sander. That's a nice camera you have around your neck," he told her.

A welcome with this greeting? How lovely and he came close enough! "Thank you, it's nice meeting you Sander." Her wild blue eyes were already taking in ever inch of his face, his posture, the way his hair looked in the light. A bit blotchy in the face if she was being honest but that was nothing she couldn't fixed with the items she had in the box. "And I suppose it'd be a welcome back. I used to come here. Ravenclaw." Of which she'd only seen one of since getting here. Strange.

Lizzie gestured to the seats strewn around the floor. They were there for sitting afterall and if he stayed any longer she would possibly just start snapping photos.

He moved towards the back of the room not wanting to be overly interested because it was a class even if it was a unique class. There better not be a book or this boy was out of here.

Not a hint of excited and not a seat drawn close? "Such a shame to waste away a nice face in the back, don't you think?" She asked, momentarily forgetting her actual greeting. It was just really a shame. The lighting wasn't nearly as good in the back. His hair was looking all sorts of discoloured but she didn't suppose there was anything to be said to convince him to move forward. Sigh.

He smiled at the instructor and headed towards the back of the crowd. He'd just hang out here and see what was up.

And another heading to the back. She didn't get it. What did anyone see in the back. Perhaps it was the Ravenclaw in her...or the photographer but that place was horrid!! Easily overlookable and that was no good where pictures were concerned. Sad.

As if to prove that point Ana had a bounce in her step as she threw herself onto an empty bean bag and waited for the seminar to begin.

Skipping!! Yes! Yes! Yes! See that right there brought the grin back to her face and the bright smile certainly pushed it further. Could she have them all go out and come back in skipping? Make one big shoot of it?? No? Boo.

"Hello Anastasia! I love it too! Lastest model and everything. The pictures come out so brilliantly, I could almost cry sometimes." But that was just Lizzie being dramatic as always. Truthfully though, it was an excellent camera.

So he walked into the room and smiled at the Instructor "Hello, Wow that's a nice camera." Really nice. He walked on by. He seen Alec and Ella sitting over there. He smiled and nodded to both of them. He took a seat behind Alec and offered him a fist bump it was there way of them greeting, you know.

It didn't surprize her to get compliments where her camera was concerned. It was an excellent one to have. Probably the best for her line of work. "Hello Deeaaar." She said with a grin. "It's pictures are even nicer." If they thought the camera was nice, they should see what it could produce!! Though they could. Some of the pictures on the wall were taken with it.

Three guesses that was the instructor.

"Hi," Schuyler smiled. "What's in the box?"

Or was that a secret?

...

...

This school had so much potential. Yet another face fit for the camera walked in and Lizzie had to remind herself about the fact that photos were for later, otherwise she'd have taken a few shots. Why couldn't she get to photograph them all on a regular basis? It would make her so happy. Ugh. The potential in this place.

"Hello!" Lizzie glanced over at the box. "Just a few things for the shoot." She said with a nod, but that was all she would say on that for now.

Definitely this was going to be useful. Moving pictures could help you remember what mood you'd been in at the time, or what was exciting about that moment. She could even send one home in her next letter!

No greeting from this one either. That was fine. There was a subtle hint of fascination about the girl and she supposed that would do for now. She only really needed them smiling once the activity started. For now, she gave the girl a small smile, deciding she liked her face.

So she entered the room with a small smile and nodded at the woman before taking a seat on a bean bag chair towards the back of the room. Now just to wait until the class started.

The room was starting to fill up nicely. Lizzie smiled over at the next girl to walk in. Not as hyper as a few she'd seen earlier but she'd make for a good subject as well. Lizzie's fingers continued tapping away at her camera while she waited just a bit longer.

So basically his favorite person ever. "That's a great camera. I have one too." He rummaged in his satchel, presenting the smallest of his cameras. The only one he was willing to keep on him at all times, really. "Did you take all of these pictures?"

What was THIS?? One that actually walked around regarding her photos instead of giving them interested looks at quick glances?? Oh yeeess, yes this one might have had an eye for this sort of thing. Merlin she was hoping so!! As he got closer she wanted nothing more than to snap away but again, she wouldn't--

Him complimenting her camera didn't go unnoticed but it was over shadowed by his confession to having one of his own. Her eyes widened excitedly as he went rummaging. "Oh! May I?" She asked, slowly reaching for it to have a better look. "I have one of these as well, for my own personal use of course." For more professional jobs she tended to stick to the one slung around her neck.

"And I sure did!" She said beaming and handing his camera back. This one, she liked him. "What's your name?" A budding photographer it seemed.

Lizzie watched another girl enter the room and simply take a seat. Waiting for the seminar to begin she imagined, which it would be in another minute or two. Just giving the others some time to get here. From what she remembered of this place, some of the Common Rooms were miles away.

She was meant to be in front of the camera! "Though, I insist on only being shot from the left side." And with that, she nodded her head and turned on her heal to go find a bean bag to sit in until she was needed. This was her moment.

Lizzie was taken aback only for a moment when one of them practically marched up to her. Such confidence in her step, it was photo inspiring. The camera in her hand was getting harder to deny.

Ooo snap! Girl knew her stuff too. "I do happen to need subjects for today's seminar and you're high up there on my list Miss." How many of them had practically thrown themselves at her, demanding their good sides even! This one was a keeper, a real keeper and one to keep the camera on. Such a loud and lively personality. "I'll keep that in mind and suggest you sit to that side of the room. Lighting's much better that way." Which half of them would have realized if they'd bothered to look.

Some he'd seen around and others strangers and then there was Adi mixed in the bunch of them. "Good day," he greeted the woman undoubtedly the instructor before heading further into the room towards his friend.

"Hey," he greeted the Hufflepuff as the other boy greeted another. The Gryffindor took his own seat to await the seminar to begin.

Awwww and an adorable one to boot! "Helloooo." She said, giving him a little wave as he entered the room as well. Lizzie tried seeing the door again after he entered, wondering if there were anymore arriving. She needed to get started.

Oh....? No smiles? Waves? Greetings? That was fine too she supposed. They hadn't exactly gotten into things yet, but the girl's presence would need to get louder by the time things started picking up. Cameras liked loud personalities.

So the young girl walked in to the room, buzzing with excitement. She looked curiously at the tent, not belienveing it would fit everyone, but she walked over towards at anyway. She should habe known better. Walking in to the tent she glanced around at the students and at the women standing up front. She smiled at the lady, whom she didn't recognized. "Good morning!" The young brunette said brightly "My name is Bri. Nice to meet you." She introduced herself, before picking a bean bag chair up near the front.

And the excited ones were rolling in again. This one she could tell. It was written all over her face and in the way she walked. "Hello Bri! It's lovely meeting you as well. Your face is lovely." And she meant that. Yet another photo that would have looked good on the wall.

Lizzie's eyes fell next on another to approach her. These kids were wasting no time with this! Her excitement was in ever other sentence and it made Lizzie grin. "I KNOW! Photography is lovely." Cool was far too uncultured but she wouldn't point that out, not when the girl was only trying to compliment her. "I am hosting this seminar and it's very lovely to meet you, I hope we don't disappoint." But this was photography. Disappointing wasn't possible!

He followed the other huffie puff students to the floor with the great hall. Good thinking so far. As he walked into the tent, he saw tables. It seemed to be looking up for him. Free food for Ian! He went over and sat close to that griffin boy, Bart hoping that Bart would take any pressure to participate away from Ian.

No greeting from this one either? That made four or so of them? Did they NOT want to be here today being etched into history through the use of photos?? Photos lasted practically forever, even after they were old and grey and couldn't recognized themselves anymore. Pfft. Kids.

Lizzie was distracted for the other one when a boy walked in all smiles and compliments. "Hello Dear! I love it toooooo!" Brilliant the camera was brilliant, "It's a wizarding kind." But she worked with muggles ones too...and those were the kind they would be working with as well. She would clarify that later.

[/COLOR][/FONT]

This one was a whole bunch of questions wasn't she? Lizzie smiled firstly as a means of offering some kind of greeting before trying to answer everything asked. Merlin? Wasn't she a Gryffindor? When did they get so inquisitive? "I'm glad you're looking forward to it. The box is for the photoshoot which you don't need to worry about just yet so yes, a part of the lesson...seminar...it's really a seminar." Lizzie was no Professor. Hosting seminars was as far as she went.

Not really a big surprise, since Tessa and Sander seemed to sit with each other all the time now. Sitting on the other side of Tessa, she beamed at them both. "Hey, Tessa! Hey Mr. Celery Stick!" Hehehe.

Yeah, by now she was used to the odd child or two offering no greeting. This one got a small smile as she entered but there was nothing else to be said as the girl quickly found her friends. Merlin she hoped they wouldn't be talking through the whole thing.

Finally, her eyes landed on the box, then returned to the lady.

"Hi ma'am. Cool camera. What kind is it? Is it a magical one? Are there even magical cameras? What's in the box?" Head tilt. "I'm Alice."

Blink.

Was this one going to come making demands about her right side and offers for being taken pictures of toooo? Such forthcoming children! Oh! Maybe she was like the young man with his camera! Another one?? Even better! Lizzie watched the girl, not at all put off by her staring because she was busy taking in her facial structure.

Lizzie took the girl's face in her hands, turning it from angle to angle even as she sought to answers her questions. "It's a magical kind dear, they exist you just have to know where to look." She mumbled still turning her face in all directions. "Such lovely cheekbones and those eyes....this lighting helps your skin." As it did for a good few of them as she'd noticed.

"The box has things for the shoot." Looking to the door, she finally concluded no one else was coming. "Yes, yes, this face." And this girl got the first shot of the seminar. Brilliant. Now they could begin.

With a clap of her hands she tried getting everyone's attention. This was a good turn out. Photos did that. They brought people together. "Good day everyone. My name's Lizzie Courwell and like most of you have guessed, I'll be your instructor!" Enthusiasm, they had it...for the most part anyway.

"Before we begin, you've noticed the moving photos around the walls." She shoved off the desk, bouncing slightly in anticipation and snapping a few photos here and there. "What else can we get up and moving." There was no WRONG answer given everyone here was capable of at least a little magic but she was looking for something in particular, something she'd never attempted but had just as much of an appreciation for as she did her own photos.

Hands? Yes? Answers?

Lizzie's eyes moved from face to face waiting and perhaps bracing herself for any completely far-fetched answers. They had those. She remembered her school days. Snap. Sanp. Snap..

His hair was looking all sorts of discoloured but she didn't suppose there was anything to be said to convince him to move forward. Sigh.

He smiled at the instructor and headed towards the back of the crowd. He'd just hang out here and see what was up. And another heading to the back. She didn't get it. What did anyone see in the back. Perhaps it was the Ravenclaw in her...or the photographer but that place was horrid!! Easily overlookable and that was no good where pictures were concerned. Sad. Quote: Originally Posted by Saiai That was why she practically skipped into the seminar. Giving the teacher a sunny smile Ana admired her camera.

As if to prove that point Ana had a bounce in her step as she threw herself onto an empty bean bag and waited for the seminar to begin. Skipping!! Yes! Yes! Yes! See that right there brought the grin back to her face and the bright smile certainly pushed it further. Could she have them all go out and come back in skipping? Make one big shoot of it?? No? Boo. "Hello Anastasia! I love it too! Lastest model and everything. The pictures come out so brilliantly, I could almost cry sometimes." But that was just Lizzie being dramatic as always. Truthfully though, it was an excellent camera. Quote: Originally Posted by Saraie So in all seven years that he was here while technical six years Asher had not been to one of these Seminars before.

And other things. So he walked into the room and smiled at the Instructor "Hello, Wow that's a nice camera." Really nice. He walked on by. He seen Alec and Ella sitting over there. He smiled and nodded to both of them. He took a seat behind Alec and offered him a fist bump it was there way of them greeting, you know. It didn't surprize her to get compliments where her camera was concerned. It was an excellent one to have. Probably the best for her line of work. "Hello Deeaaar." She said with a grin. "It's pictures are even nicer." If they thought the camera was nice, they should see what it could produce!! Though they could. Some of the pictures on the wall were taken with it.

Her feet led her further and her eyesight panned over to the black tent, remained there for a moment or two, then shifted back to the woman with the broad grin and the camera hanging around her neck. Three guesses that was the instructor. "Hi," Schuyler smiled. "What's in the box?" Or was that a secret? ... ... This school had so much potential. Yet another face fit for the camera walked in and Lizzie had to remind herself about the fact that photos were for later, otherwise she'd have taken a few shots. Why couldn't she get to photograph them all on a regular basis? It would make her so happy. Ugh. The potential in this place. "Hello!" Lizzie glanced over at the box. "Just a few things for the shoot." She said with a nod, but that was all she would say on that for now. Quote: Originally Posted by Presley Black She stepped into the seminar and smiled politely at the instructor.

Definitely this was going to be useful. Moving pictures could help you remember what mood you'd been in at the time, or what was exciting about that moment. She could even send one home in her next letter! No greeting from this one either. That was fine. There was a subtle hint of fascination about the girl and she supposed that would do for now. She only really needed them smiling once the activity started. For now, she gave the girl a small smile, deciding she liked her face. Quote: Originally Posted by AlwaysSnapesGirl Wizarding photography seminar? Could be interesting. Penelope did kinda like how they could move and stuff. It was kinda cool. So she entered the room with a small smile and nodded at the woman before taking a seat on a bean bag chair towards the back of the room. Now just to wait until the class started. The room was starting to fill up nicely. Lizzie smiled over at the next girl to walk in. Not as hyper as a few she'd seen earlier but she'd make for a good subject as well. Lizzie's fingers continued tapping away at her camera while she waited just a bit longer. Quote: Originally Posted by Cassirin He'd have to endeavor REALLY hard not to be an obnoxious know-it-all. Instead, Mo circled and circled and circled all the pictures, taking in the subject matter and composition and lighting, before he made his way into the tent. Right up to their professor. Who had a smile AND a camera. So basically his favorite person ever. "That's a great camera. I have one too." He rummaged in his satchel, presenting the smallest of his cameras. The only one he was willing to keep on him at all times, really. "Did you take all of these pictures?" What was THIS?? One that actually walked around regarding her photos instead of giving them interested looks at quick glances?? Oh yeeess, yes this one might have had an eye for this sort of thing. Merlin she was hoping so!! As he got closer she wanted nothing more than to snap away but again, she wouldn't-- Him complimenting her camera didn't go unnoticed but it was over shadowed by his confession to having one of his own. Her eyes widened excitedly as he went rummaging. "Oh! May I?" She asked, slowly reaching for it to have a better look. "I have one of these as well, for my own personal use of course." For more professional jobs she tended to stick to the one slung around her neck. "And I sure did!" She said beaming and handing his camera back. This one, she liked him. "What's your name?" A budding photographer it seemed. Quote: Originally Posted by Colley For now, she picked a bean bag chair and considered it for a moment before sitting. Hmm. This was weird. She glanced at the boy again and considered him too. Did Mo want to share a seat? Hehe. Too bad they wouldn't be allowed. Lizzie watched another girl enter the room and simply take a seat. Waiting for the seminar to begin she imagined, which it would be in another minute or two. Just giving the others some time to get here. From what she remembered of this place, some of the Common Rooms were miles away. Quote: Originally Posted by Zoe "Hello. I'm Demelza Diggle. I really like your photos. If you need someone to take pictures of today, I'm your girl," she said to the instructor, flashing those pearly whites of hers. See? She was meant to be in front of the camera! "Though, I insist on only being shot from the left side." And with that, she nodded her head and turned on her heal to go find a bean bag to sit in until she was needed. This was her moment. Lizzie was taken aback only for a moment when one of them practically marched up to her. Such confidence in her step, it was photo inspiring. The camera in her hand was getting harder to deny. Ooo snap! Girl knew her stuff too. "I do happen to need subjects for today's seminar and you're high up there on my list Miss." How many of them had practically thrown themselves at her, demanding their good sides even! This one was a keeper, a real keeper and one to keep the camera on. Such a loud and lively personality. "I'll keep that in mind and suggest you sit to that side of the room. Lighting's much better that way." Which half of them would have realized if they'd bothered to look. Quote: Originally Posted by Holmesian Feline Making his way down to the Great Hall and the room off it where they were supposed to be gathering, Ben was greeted with the scene of the displays. Photos everywhere with their moving images and students gathered either standing around or sitting in bean bag chairs. Some he'd seen around and others strangers and then there was Adi mixed in the bunch of them. "Good day," he greeted the woman undoubtedly the instructor before heading further into the room towards his friend. "Hey," he greeted the Hufflepuff as the other boy greeted another. The Gryffindor took his own seat to await the seminar to begin. Awwww and an adorable one to boot! "Helloooo." She said, giving him a little wave as he entered the room as well. Lizzie tried seeing the door again after he entered, wondering if there were anymore arriving. She needed to get started. Quote: Originally Posted by PuppySara Anna walked in with a small smile, actually interested in this. She smiled at at her fellow classmates recognizing one or two of them. She took a seat and sighed, Calm down... just be happy to be here... She took a deep breath, trying to force herself to do just that. Oh....? No smiles? Waves? Greetings? That was fine too she supposed. They hadn't exactly gotten into things yet, but the girl's presence would need to get louder by the time things started picking up. Cameras liked loud personalities. Quote: Originally Posted by BriGranger1990 Bri was very curious about this seminar. She loved taking pictures back home. So getting a chance to learn about wizarding photography, where the pictures actually move, made Bri very excited. So the young girl walked in to the room, buzzing with excitement. She looked curiously at the tent, not belienveing it would fit everyone, but she walked over towards at anyway. She should habe known better. Walking in to the tent she glanced around at the students and at the women standing up front. She smiled at the lady, whom she didn't recognized. "Good morning!" The young brunette said brightly "My name is Bri. Nice to meet you." She introduced herself, before picking a bean bag chair up near the front. And the excited ones were rolling in again. This one she could tell. It was written all over her face and in the way she walked. "Hello Bri! It's lovely meeting you as well. Your face is lovely." And she meant that. Yet another photo that would have looked good on the wall. Quote: Originally Posted by Rosa Chispa Princessa She then saw a lady up front with a camera and approached her, "Oh my gosh, wow, this stuff is so cool!", Oichi took a moment to catch her breath. "And you are the one giving this awesome seminar, wow! I'm Oichi by the way, and I really look foward to your seminar on magical camera's today.". Lizzie's eyes fell next on another to approach her. These kids were wasting no time with this! Her excitement was in ever other sentence and it made Lizzie grin. "I KNOW! Photography is lovely." Cool was far too uncultured but she wouldn't point that out, not when the girl was only trying to compliment her. "I am hosting this seminar and it's very lovely to meet you, I hope we don't disappoint." But this was photography. Disappointing wasn't possible! Quote: Originally Posted by Edward Penguin Ian had been bored, sitting in the common room when he heard some of the other students talks about a seminar. He'd heard his mum talk about seminars but they always seemed to be about selling stuff. Ian had also heard they included food. He thought he'd like to try some free food even if he had to try not to buy anything. He followed the other huffie puff students to the floor with the great hall. Good thinking so far. As he walked into the tent, he saw tables. It seemed to be looking up for him. Free food for Ian! He went over and sat close to that griffin boy, Bart hoping that Bart would take any pressure to participate away from Ian. No greeting from this one either? That made four or so of them? Did they NOT want to be here today being etched into history through the use of photos?? Photos lasted practically forever, even after they were old and grey and couldn't recognized themselves anymore. Pfft. Kids. Quote: Originally Posted by Expecto-Penguin As he approached the room, he noticed chemicals were in there and this place was called the Dark Room. He smiled and saw the woman in charge. He smiled and said, "Hello...i am loving your camera. What kind is it?" he asked because he was interested. Lizzie was distracted for the other one when a boy walked in all smiles and compliments. "Hello Dear! I love it toooooo!" Brilliant the camera was brilliant, "It's a wizarding kind." But she worked with muggles ones too...and those were the kind they would be working with as well. She would clarify that later. Quote: Originally Posted by UnicornDragonPatronus Tessa smiled at the Professor as she entered. "Hello, I'm looking forward to the session today," she said with a warm smile. "I'm Tessa." She glanced at the box and instantly her curiosity was peaked. "Excuse me, what's in the box? Is it part of the lesson?" That was a logical assumption after all, but you never know! [/COLOR][/FONT] This one was a whole bunch of questions wasn't she? Lizzie smiled firstly as a means of offering some kind of greeting before trying to answer everything asked. Merlin? Wasn't she a Gryffindor? When did they get so inquisitive? "I'm glad you're looking forward to it. The box is for the photoshoot which you don't need to worry about just yet so yes, a part of the lesson...seminar...it's really a seminar." Lizzie was no Professor. Hosting seminars was as far as she went. Quote: Originally Posted by Squishy Stepping inside, she saw a lot of faces, but Tessa's hair was what really stood out to her. Making her way over to the older Gryffindor, she noticed that Sander was there. Not really a big surprise, since Tessa and Sander seemed to sit with each other all the time now. Sitting on the other side of Tessa, she beamed at them both. "Hey, Tessa! Hey Mr. Celery Stick!" Hehehe. Yeah, by now she was used to the odd child or two offering no greeting. This one got a small smile as she entered but there was nothing else to be said as the girl quickly found her friends. Merlin she hoped they wouldn't be talking through the whole thing. Quote: Originally Posted by lemon As she entered the Great Hall for the seminar, the seventh year stopped right by the table at the front and began examining things. First off, the instructor. Alice inspected her right there, staring at her silently before moving her gaze to her camera, and then to the pictures that littered the room. Finally, her eyes landed on the box, then returned to the lady. "Hi ma'am. Cool camera. What kind is it? Is it a magical one? Are there even magical cameras? What's in the box?" Head tilt. "I'm Alice." Blink. Was this one going to come making demands about her right side and offers for being taken pictures of toooo? Such forthcoming children! Oh! Maybe she was like the young man with his camera! Another one?? Even better! Lizzie watched the girl, not at all put off by her staring because she was busy taking in her facial structure. Lizzie took the girl's face in her hands, turning it from angle to angle even as she sought to answers her questions. "It's a magical kind dear, they exist you just have to know where to look." She mumbled still turning her face in all directions. "Such lovely cheekbones and those eyes....this lighting helps your skin." As it did for a good few of them as she'd noticed. "The box has things for the shoot." Looking to the door, she finally concluded no one else was coming. "Yes, yes, this face." And this girl got the first shot of the seminar. Brilliant. Now they could begin. With a clap of her hands she tried getting everyone's attention. This was a good turn out. Photos did that. They brought people together. "Good day everyone. My name's Lizzie Courwell and like most of you have guessed, I'll be your instructor!" Enthusiasm, they had it...for the most part anyway. "Before we begin, you've noticed the moving photos around the walls." She shoved off the desk, bouncing slightly in anticipation and snapping a few photos here and there. "What else can we get up and moving." There was no WRONG answer given everyone here was capable of at least a little magic but she was looking for something in particular, something she'd never attempted but had just as much of an appreciation for as she did her own photos. Hands? Yes? Answers? Lizzie's eyes moved from face to face waiting and perhaps bracing herself for any completely far-fetched answers. They had those. She remembered her school days. Snap. Sanp. Snap.. __________________ Imma say all the words inside my head____________________________________ ______________________________I'm fired up and tired of the way that things are said.
