Violet was at a loss. She had seen and possessed photographs, of course, both magical and Muggle, but she really didn't know anything about how they were made. Her method of remembering things, analyzing things, thinking things over, and creating things had always been to write them down. She thought of her current journal, tucked into a secret pocket of her school bag, and felt a sudden rush of happiness that she could carry it with her again and not worry about it getting confiscated by the Neo-Alliance.

But back to the discussion at hand...photographs. "Well...I think it has something to do with...developing fluids of some kind. And you have to keep them dark while you're working on them." And that was about all Violet know about photos. Except that she always looked quite dreadful in them.
