These students really meant business with this quick thing. Good, they could keep on schedule then. There was a small glance at her watch to reassure herself they weren't behind on time.

SPOILER!!: Replies

She hadn't expected the answer on the first go but this young man got her grinning. Not only did he know substances used but he knew the name as well!! "That's right, Devomotion Potion, one of the best wizarding inventions of all time if I do say so myself." Which she probably did. Not everyone was as taken in by the moving pictures. It was taking for granted most usually.

He had no idea if he was making stuff up or not, but who knew?

The little Slytherin that helped to make her day. Had she gotten a shot of him as yet? Just to be sure, she raised her camera and took a quick one as he expressed his thought.

"There are magical cameras out there, if that's what you're suggesting but the photos themselves aren't necessarily 'magicked' so much as they're developed in a special solution. Granted there is a spell that works as well but the solution is more common." And got the pictures looking better thank you very much.

"Magical portraits move," she said.

Er..."Yes dear..." But they weren't on that anymore. Wasn't she paying attention? Must have been mesmerized bu all the photos along the wall. They were quite stunning.

She relaxed her face and leaned back on one hand, brushing her hair out of her face. Not that she was posing, she was just deliberately arranging herself to look like she would in a relaxed candid. That was okay, wasn't it?

One of the little adorable ones that has spoken earlier at some point was now quiet, the one she rathered liked snapping shots of. Lizzie couldn't help but think the shots might have been scaring her quiet and the woman slowly lowered her camera. Right. No more of that for now.

HOLY KNEAZLE!! What was this girl doing???

The camera flew up almost instantly and the shots kept flashing one behind the other. Those poses, the faces, such expression!! "You belong in front of a camera child, have you ever considered modelling?" No? What about letting her photograph her more often?? This Gryffindor had the stuff, the kinda stuff that made it.

Nevermind that she hadn't actually answered the question, this was just as good for Ms. Courwell in her line of work. Could she keep her?

It took a while for Lizzie to regain some composure but when she finally did she looked to the next student who'd be attempting an answer. "Yes, thank you. I'd like if you could elaborate on that a little." The spell she'd mentioned earlier to the little Slytherin, was he listening?

"What that girl said." Alacer. Yep. "The wand movement for it is something like a triangle in the air crossed with a five-pointed star. Except it doesn't work on portraits. Can you use the spell for photos and the solution for portraits?"

And she was only here to learn the potion way, just FYI. 'Cause spells she could learn on her own.

So could they do that?

Ah and the one that didn't want to be the subject of the photos. Perfect waste of a face if you asked her. With no remorse she snapped a couple shots of the girl without giving her much in the way of reaction time.

"Thank you for elaborating on what your housemate offered." Lizzie said with an appreciative smile. "The solution and the spell would both be used for photos, portraits are a different thing entirely." And weren't the point of this seminar anyway. No need to focus on them for too long.

There was going to be an activity for this lesson, right? That's what that tent was for? When could they get started? Adi wanted to get up and do something and not just sit here feeling more sluggish as time wears on.

Then he heard her move onto moving portraits? Hold the phone....when did that come up? He must have REALLY dazes. Anyways.....

He heard the other students mention potions. He nodded with them since he had no idea how portraits could move. I mean that is why he was here right? He listened and doodled in the process. He was wondering if they were getting to make photographs that would be cool.

Um. Except this one. Tobias hadn't been around for that particular seminar, so he kept quiet.

However, this lady's bouncing had HIM mirroring the bouncing and altogether exuding energy. His beanbag made that annoying beanbag-noise that always seems to happen when someone who fidgets too much sits in one. But Tobias was too absorbed in paying his full (yes, FULL) attention to the awesome lady and the seminar to notice.

Nothing to be expected from the little Hufflepuffs that had only just earlier been volunteering food suggestions? Thank Merlin the enthusiastic one was still maintaining it or she would have been somewhat more disappointed. Perhaps they were just waiting on the activity to begin. There wait wouldn't last much longer, just had to get to a few other students first. In the mean time she gave them each a small smile and snapped a photo of their precious faces.

Who could resist?

Interesting.

The other silent girl with the pretty eyes wasn't saying much still. Forever silent maybe? Lizzie wasn't ready to make assumptions, instead, she would appreciate the girl's silent beauty for what it was.

......

And another that kept quiet. It was fine, they were coming to the end of the questioning anyway. Nothing grave about it.

Oh, and she used his example! He gave her a small grin at that. Though it did make him wonder briefly if he'd rather be out on his board than here, something that was reiterated at the woman's next question.

Erm..."No...I can't say I've had that experience before. I prefer to be in full control of my movement while snapping shots and don't think I have the coordination necessary for such a feit." Anything that involved sports or sports like activity were a big NO for her. "If you ever do, you should try it and see if you can get it submitted to me." And with that she fished out a business card and handed to him, so he'd know where to send the photos to.

[B

"Don't the camera's have to be magical before the picture is taken?"[/B] Otherwise, as far as he knew, the potion wouldn't work. The whole process had to be with magic. ...Right?

This little one wasn't providing an answer to her question but he was asking an interesting one, one that she'd gotten before from enthusiastic little budding photographers who've come in with their parents before.

"Not at all, in fact the pictures can be taken with a perfectly muggle camera and can be dipped into the Devomotion Potion then made to move around." It was quite fascinating when you thought about it.

OH ASTRID KNEW THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION! YES SHE DID. Astrid enthusiastically raised her hand up. "You can animate or make photographs move by using a Devomotion Potion or a Developing solution on it. They work on Muggle photographs, yeah?" She grinned at the lady. Hehe. So... activity time, shall we? Pretty pleaseeeee?

A silent one spoke!!!

This in itself got the woman grinning and the girl's answer just made it wider. "Yes! Yes! And muggle photographs would be a yes as well! Brilliant!" And a snap of her camera at her.

By now that should have been expected.

"Okay!" Lizzie clapped her hands together again to get their attention once more. No one had said much about getting the portraits moving but it wasn't terribly crucial given they weren't the main focus of this seminar to begin with. It wasn't a big problem and she wouldn't turn it into one. Instead, with a smile on her face, she went into a bit more info giving. "Now despite the photos being able to move and their life-like appearance, it's important to remember the pictures are in no way sentient and are simply a recording, if you will, of a past event occuring in what can be classified as a loop." So they were on the same page here. She didn't want anyone trying to talk to their photos once this was all done. St. Mungos would not be getting richer on her account.

"Interestingly enough, the portraits are not sentient either even with all the conversations some of you have with them." She'd attended here long enough to know there were a few of them that did. "After being enchanted they are 'taught' to act like their subject. It's especially the case with past Headmasters who are taught to speak and behave like their subjects so even after they're gone the next will have some guidance."

But enough with all this boring stuff, they were most likely more eager to get to the activity, even she would have been more excited to get one with it.

With a new spark in her eyes, Lizzie glanced around at them. "Time to get to it. I'll need you all to get into groups as small as two and as large as you can fit inside the camera's range--but please, keep them reasonable, too many house elves spoil the pumpkin juice." Large groups could be fun but they didn't need to overdo it. "I'll need someone from each group to come up here and get the items needed from the box. Cameras...costumes...props, anything you might need to get yourself a decent shoot." Which was what they were having! WOOOO!!

"I'll also need volunteers to work with me? Those who don't end up in a group for whatever reason." Whether that be because they WANTED to work with HER instead or simply couldn't fit behind the camera. Lizzie wasn't picky, she wanted to participate too!! Then with a few waves and flicks of her wand she began conjuring up the basic necessities for a photoshoot, setting up little photoshoot stations around the large room each with it's own settings...to give them some variety. "Get to it!"

OOC: Photoshoot time guys, have your charries grouping up, getting what they need from the box and having a spree with the cameras in the box provided by Ms. Courwell. Have fun! We'll move into developing them in the tent later.
