Ian felt a bit of burden leave him, but he was certainly ready to try this activity. He wondered what his mum would think of moving pictures. He'd tried to hide wizard trading cards and the like and he'd not had any photos of any of his friends before. He was pretty excited about this. It would maybe, kinda sorta, help his mum understand more about what being a wizard was about. He didn't think his dad would ever understand. His dad felt like, or at least communicated that he expected Ian would follow his footsteps and be a fisherman.

Ian was going to ask who should go first when Norah picked her's up and said he should say cheese. He awkwardly put a half grin on his face saying the word cheese, not even thinking that was likely going to end up on the photo. So...Norah, as she took the photo was going to get cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssse! He stood their dutifully as if it were school portrait day and he supposed it would be. Ian was starting to feel a bit better about this year.


Norah smiled at Ian and replied, "Nice to meet you!" before looking down at the picture she had taken. It was time to charm it, yeah? She giggled softly at the image on the glossy paper, the boy's half grin was plastered on the image just as it had been in real life, as if he was still saying cheese. Heh. He seemed kind of uncomfortable, so she shot him another hearty grin just in case that would make it better. He didn't seem like he wanted a hug just yet, even if he WAS a Puffer, but she figured she should at least say something. "It's a nice picture!" And it was. Look at her, bein' a photographer.

She tapped her wand on the photo and said "Alacer," watching as the Ian in the photo began to fidget and smile awkwardly just like the Ian in real life. HEEEEY! She did a charm on the first try! She resisted the urge to let out a loud WHOOP! and instead spun around and struck a dramatic pose in front of the boy's camera. Juuust in case he wanted to capture her being FABULOUS and SUCCESSFUL, which didn't happen as often as Norah wished it would.
Ian smiled back at her. As she laid the photo on the desk he looked down at it. He looked rather goofy in the image, but at least he didn't look miserable and sad. She said it was a nice picture and he grinned back at her. Thanks. It must have been a fine photographer. I can't imagine I made it look better. He watched as she set to putting life to the image. It was pretty cool to watch and as his mug came to life, he got a little bit of a laugh watching him put on half a smile as he said cheese. He hoped they would get rid of those pictures at the end of class. He certainly didn't need to remember himself looking and sounding foolish. He clapped as she struck a pose of victory. Bravo, Norah. Excellent job! He was pretty pleased that she seemed so happy. He put his finger up and motioned that he'd go and get his own camera.

Ian returned, holding his up. Ready? He hoped that she would be excited to have her photo taken. Of course, most girls were. Say Helga Hufflepuff!
