As you step into the room, you find the walls covered in photos of varying sizes; some taller than the average student and others no bigger than an average desk frame. The subjects of the photos vary as well, each revealing another moment caught in time. The first thing you’ll notice about the photos is that they are all moving: children twirling, bouncing cruppies, partners dancing, the whole nine yards.
In the corner of the room is a black tent, not very wide and taking up no notable amount of space, but the inside has been charmed to fit every and anyone participating in the seminar today. The inside is dimly lit and contains two long sets of tables on which are little bottles of developing solution. Watch your step and don’t break anything once you’re allowed inside.
For now, the Instructor is standing by a small table toward the front of the room with a wide grin plastered on her face, a magical camera slung around her neck, and what looks like an ordinary box with the lid closed. You’re free to ask what’s inside and of course Ms. Courwell is free to choose whether or not she’ll respond.
The room itself is littered with bean bag chairs so feel free to come in and have a seat. The seminar will be starting soon.

She adjusted the camera's settings for the light in the room and stepped around to the side for a different angle. Isn't that what photographers were supposed to do? Angles and lighting and things? Her grandmother had flirted with an at-home photography business once, but it had never taken off because she hadn't been all that good.
Gwen laughed as Alec held up a hammer, recognizing the super-hero he was trying to be, and snapped a picture of him. "Nice," she complimented. One vs. the other sounded perfectly fine to Gwen. She shrugged, then realized she might seem like a camera hog. She held the device out from her body. "Anybody else want a turn with the camera?" Not that she really wanted to be the subject, but she wanted to be fair to her group members.

The Gryffindor laughed at the picture idea. "That sounds awesome!" And there were a couple of water guns in the box too! "I think there's a Western hat in there.." And in saying that, he pulled out a dark blue cape, similar to the one Alec was wearing and found some really rather strange metallic gloves.
"So who takes the photos?" he asked everyone, out of curiosity. "Or does it take the picture by itself?"

"Oh, my, Alec, you look great, I love Thor, I think I may try Loki if the helmets in there. Loki was a hero at times and we can do villians too. As for who is taking the pictures, Gwen asked first but we could share the camera". Oichi looked and actually found a Loki helmet and put it on. "Wow, is this bag of goodies like the one from Marry Poppins", Oichi said with a chuckle as she started to pose in the awesome Loki helmet.

Gwen took a ton of pictures. Maybe after they were finished she could put them into a collage. That would be fun, and she could make copies for each member of the group and maybe even one to send home. "Do you want to take pictures?" Gwen asked Lucas. Just because he'd asked how they took them. And maybe she should be in at least one picture if she was going to send them home.
Oh! It was time to develop the pictures! This was the make-them-move part, right? Or maybe they developed them like muggle photos, then charmed them to move? Gwen didn't know. "Are we just about finished, guys?" She asked her group. She had plenty of shots here with superheroes and cowboys and the two groups warring, and just a few candids of the group getting ready. Did they want to take a few more, or were they good?

But yes. They were finished. THEY WERE AWESOME.
He beamed and followed everyone back to the tent. "So, so, do you think we'll make them move?" Wasn't that the whole point? THE EXCITEMENT! "How cooooool."

As for are we done, I think we are unless someone else in the group has something they would like to add.".
Was Alec glad that they understood exactly who he was trying to be? VERY. Making references was a good way to determine what kind of people he was around. And Lucas was right, he needed a wig or a way to change his hair. Where was Minerva Wheatborn when you needed her?
He missed Wheaty.
Shaking his head, the boy rummaged around in the box until he pulled out a blonde wig. AWESOME. Three of his favourite people in the world were blondes. He plopped the wig on -- making a certain Aparecium article from last year true for the time being -- and adjusted it until it was on properly. There. He GRINNED at the others. Looking good?
... Good enough to have his picture taken. He posed. Awkwardly. Holding up his hammer and trying to look like the Norse God that he was trying to impersonate. Could they keep the items on? Because look how GREAT everyone looked! Lucas with the blue cape and Oichi with the Loki gear. He probably couldn't call her brother or sister, could he? Shame. Awesome choice in the Loki gear.
Were they finished? Pictures had been taken? Yeah? "Looks like it! Great job on taking the pictures, by the way, Gwen." And look at how excited Lucas seemed. The boy got a hair ruffle from the Hair Ruffler before he looked over at Gwen. "Yeah, I think so! But before we do that... let's all try and take one big group picture, yeah?" Because Gwen hadn't been part of the pictures and it was only fair to have one with all of them.
They were outside the tent and needed to wait for Ms Courwell to give them the signal so... perfect setting? "Okay, everyone, gather round and... we'll take a normal picture and then a ridiculous one, yeah?" He took the camera from Gwen and fiddled with the adjustments and options so that it would go off after... five seconds? That was enough, right? Setting it down on the nearest table so that the lens was facing the others, he rushed back towards the group and wrapped his arm around the nearest person.
... And... "Say cheese!" GRIN.
... He was cheesy, wasn't he?

Oichi felt herself suddenly be pulled closer to Alex. She smiled and giggled as he talked about taking one last picture. one normal, one rediculous, Awesome!!! "You're so fun, and these pictures are gonna turn out so great", Oichi said with a smirk".

He was having so much taking pictures of his group that he was disappointed when he heard the instructor tell them that they had to stop and join her in the tent.
"Okay everyone one group shot. I'm going to put this on self timer. So get into your favorite position." Sander told everyone as he found a place high enough to place their camera on. Then he looked through the viewfinder, focussed to make sure everyone was in the shot, then set the timer and rushed back to join his group.
"Smile everyone....and don't blink," he muttered to everyone and then the flash went off. Picture Perfect.
"I guess it's time for us to head into the tent now to develop our pictures. I'm sure all you ladies look awesome in them. Alex, you look great in that ice skating outfit, Cucumber I much prefer you as Ariel instead of a Cucumber and Tessa, you're the epitome of a Professional Quidditch player," he grinned at all of his friends.
As for him, he hoped that at least he looked more like Peter Pan than Kermit the Frog.

She smiled at Sander. "You make a really good Peter Pan, and I think everyone else looks amazing in their outfits as well!" They were an amazing group, and they had managed to pull everything off in no time. Go them!
Since they were finished everything, she made her way towards the tent.
Tessa laughed and gave Sander a bump with her shoulder. "And you make a wonderful Peter Pan," she replied with a grin. "Lux, next time we'll have to find a tail for you, so you can dress up in the mermaid form," she said with a grin. It was so much fun dressing up. She hoped one day that someone taking this class would want to dress up like her- and that thought sent a shiver down her spine. Some day...
But, for now, she had to focus on the present.
"We did look amazing," she said, bouncing up and down next to Lux. "I can't wait to see what the pictures looked like." She hoped that they would be able to keep one or two of them- she wanted to have something to remember her time here. She never knew when her father was going to say they were going to move again... but once again, thoughts for another time. She walked with everyone up to the tent, wondering what was next.

Yes, Gwenhwyfar Jensen had just gotten praise for her picture-taking. And from the best student in the school. She giggled at Lucas's antics, and was glad that Oichi seemed to have the same collage idea as Gwen did. Because she didn't want to be the weird kid who made a collage for people she had just met and was in a group with for an hour.
Alec took the camera and Gwen shook out her wrists. She wasn't used to holding something up for that long. Oh! They were taking a group shot! She took a step back to be in line with her other group members and leaned close, shifting her hair behind her face so she could be seen. Smile and FLASH!
"Now a ridiculous one?" she verified trying to choose the best crazy-face she could do. She stuck her tongue out and opened her eyes really wide, tossing her arms above her head like she was cheering for something. That was ridiculous enough.

"Ok, new plan - I'll take a pic of you being all silly in the library...and then I can do my serious library shot or something!" he said with a grin. Too bad he wouldn't be able to act out being annoyed by a clown in the library, but ah well.
So no high five then? Well okay he guess, but Bart was a little disappointed and took down his hand in shame. That was embarrassing, well anyway. He looked around the seminar lady seemed really busy and he glance back at Caleb when he started talking. "Alright" He moved next to the back drop and started making his many clowntastic poses. Acting like he was jumping around or well really jumping around, pushing on his nose, sticking out his tongue, anything he could really think of.
Once it seemed he was done he moved over towards Caleb and reached out his hand. "Your turn. Give me the camera." He wondered how he was going to make this work without the clown to make faces at. "Maybe we should ask someone to take it for us, we dont' have to use just the lady right?" Just a thought at least.

"I hope we get to keep the pictures we made. If not, I'm sure the instructoor will allow us to make duplicates. I definitely want one to add to my album." Sander added. Yes he wanted one to help remind him of the wonderful time he was having here in Hogwarts and of the friends he had made while he was here....not that he needed reminding. His heart and thoughts of them would always be with him for as long as he lived.
Sander smiled fondly at each and everyone of his group as he headed into the tent with them.

Lux laughed at both Sander and Tessa. She was happy, because even though she had not wanted to dress up and do this shoot, her friends had managed to make it a lot more fun. Honestly, she did not want to be in any dresses, and it was generally very difficult to get her in one but she had managed to do it today.
"Don't forget about me, Sander! I want to be a Quidditch player too!" It was so cool that she had the same dream as Tessa and Christmas, it made her even happier since they were so amazing people who she really liked.
Oh, yes. She was having a lot more fun now because of her friends. "I really liked working with all you guys, and I don't really want to see what my pictures look like, because they will be gross... but I want to know how all yours will look!" She tried her best to be patient as she waited to hear what the next instructions would be.

Sander raised his eyebrows when he heard Lux declare that she too was going to be a Quidditch player one day. He didn't doubt for a second that she wouldn't be one. She was tenacious enough.
"Well then that's good to hear you already know what you have planned for the future. Tessa promised that if we ever happened to be playing in the same city, or if either of us were playing near each other's homes, we would visit each other. Maybe you can do that too, Lux." Sander grinned down at the younger Hufflepuff he now considered his little sister.

"We could, or I could just do some serious model poses," Caleb said with a grin after taking a few good pics of him doing his clown business. "Here, let's take a few and then I'll call out for someone!"
He walked into the set and grabbed his journal. He opened it and held it in front of him, then scratched his chin like he was making some intense discovery. Then he looked at the camera very seriously, like he was on a soap opera. Then he sat down in a nearby chair, crossed his legs seriously, and did the chin scratchy thing again.
He looked so hot. He was sure of it.
"ANYONE WANNA TAKE A PICTURE OF US? PLEASE?" he asked after he'd done a few shots. Anyone? Anyone?

Lizzie watched the last of them trying to get in a few pictures even after she'd said to head to the tent. It wasn't a BIG issue but they really needed to be moving along if they wanted to be on time with this thing. Lizzie gave another clap of her hands, getting the attention of those who still remained outside the tent. "Alright Darlings, we really must be going. Snap the last shot, last, absolute last and head into the tent." She urged before, herself, disappearing into the tent.
Once inside she paused a moment to let her eyes adjust to the light before looking to those gathered at the large table in the remaarkably large tent.
"Now that we've gotten one exciting aspect out of the way, we move to the next; developing! As some of you mentioned earlier, there's a special potion used to get the photos moving, the Devomotion Potion." And smiles to the students who'd brought it up, yes, she remembered who they were among all the faces.
"Infront of you all are containers with the solution, this is what you'll be soaking your photos in. If there are any questions you're free to ask, otherwise, get to work and be careful not to get finger prints on them!" GRIN.

Alex headed to the tent with her group. She was confident that the were able to get some really good pictures during their photo shoot. Alex hated having her picture taken and usually tried to be the one taking the pictures instead. She was really glad that she had been in a group with people that she liked. That made everything a lot easier.
Addressing everyone in the group, Alex said "Thanks you guys"."That was lot fun." She couldn't wait to see what they had to do to develop the pictures. This Seminar had turned out to be more enjoyable than Alex had imagined.

Sander listened as the instructor gave everyone their instructions. Yes it was time for them to develop their pictures. He picked up a container and brought it over to where the others were waiting.
"Now's the moment of truth. Time to see what we've taken. Who wants to do the honors of developing our prints. I have a pair of tweezers here so that you won't get your fingerprints on the film," Sander held up a pair that he always kept in his backpack.

Tessa laughed at Sander's words. "You're right- I should have just been me," she said, shaking her head. "You know, I thought about it- but since I'm not quite famous yet, I didn't think it would go with the theme," she replied with a grin. However, give her a few months... and she would be famous.
"Agreed," she said, smiling at Sander and gently bumping him back. She smiled as Lux joined their conversation. "That's true Lux! Next time, we'll just come as ourselves!" She laughed, her thoughts drifting to the future for a moment. It would be so fantastic- her and Lux and Cucumber traveling the world for Quidditch. She could see them all getting together to discuss the year's competitions. Or meeting with Sander in some random country... the future looked bright!
But, time to focus on class...

"Infront of you all are containers with the solution, this is what you'll be soaking your photos in. If there are any questions you're free to ask, otherwise, get to work and be careful not to get finger prints on them!" GRIN.

"Now's the moment of truth. Time to see what we've taken. Who wants to do the honors of developing our prints. I have a pair of tweezers here so that you won't get your fingerprints on the film," Sander held up a pair that he always kept in his backpack.
Okay....volunteers here.
Developing time! She couldn't wait! She was almost bouncing in her spot as the instructor explained the next part of the process. Even before Sander spoke, she had gone off to get the materials that they would need. "Here we go," she said, placing the container down of the Devomotion Potion. "Yes, no finger prints, we want to see all of your smiling faces," she said, looking at the print developing. She looked around- if no one else volunteered, she would.
"We could, or I could just do some serious model poses," Caleb said with a grin after taking a few good pics of him doing his clown business. "Here, let's take a few and then I'll call out for someone!"
He walked into the set and grabbed his journal. He opened it and held it in front of him, then scratched his chin like he was making some intense discovery. Then he looked at the camera very seriously, like he was on a soap opera. Then he sat down in a nearby chair, crossed his legs seriously, and did the chin scratchy thing again.
He looked so hot. He was sure of it.
"ANYONE WANNA TAKE A PICTURE OF US? PLEASE?" he asked after he'd done a few shots. Anyone? Anyone?
As she followed Ms. Courwell toward the tent, Beverly froze when she passed a boy at the same time he made his announcement. Geez! Could he keep it down or she'll...
HE GOT PUNCHED BY GERTRUDE GENIE.
Oh, Beverly remembered him. Yes, she did. And she had to keep a mellow face in order to not grin at the memory. What? It had been amusing and girls need to stick together...whether they knew each other or not.
There was Bart too. And they were acting all weird. She was going to regret this later. Beverly stepped in their line of range and raised her hand slowly.
"Erm, I can do it." You know, house mate and all. And Bart. He was cool in her books since he melted toys in ovens.
And she was taking chances. That's about all that her brother repeated in his letters. Don't hide. Have fun. Okay. Yeah. Whatever.

Bart took the pictures as Caleb did his journalist thing. Snap.. Snap.. snap. So when he got up he watched as his fellow second year called out to the crowd about taking their picture. Yes someone should really come and do that because it was going to be totally epic. He patted Caleb on the shoulder, "Awesome idea mate"
He looked around and not for long when he saw Beverly and gave her a smile. "Hi Beverly, you don't mind taking our picture." This was going to be great now they could be in the picture together and have some fun. That was awesome. He handed over the camera to the Slytherin girl and walked over to the backdrop.
"Caleb where do you want me to stand?" He'd let him decide because Bart could be nuts anywhere just point to the place.

Listening to the instructor explain what they were going to do next, Lux got rather excited. Oh boy. This was what she had been waiting for; it was the process of making the pictures move that interested her. That was why she had come to the seminar.
As Tessa went to get the supplies, she raised her hand in reply to Sander asking for volunteers. "I will try it. But I've never developed photos before, so I might not be very good at it." If they preferred, she did not have to do it.
Mo finished setting up his tripod as the other three figured out how to hang the flag and set up their positions on the bench (and behind it). The nice thing about being a group of four sixth years was that advanced magic was possible, that they didn't need anyone to be in charge or fall behind... and that they didn't have to figure out how to bolster anyone up to the proper height.
Except Cat, 'cause she was kitten-sized. "Okay, we're all set here. I'm just going to turn the timer, and you three get into position..." Mo slid on the goggles and one of the jerseys as he waited for everyone else to get situated, and then he pushed the button and scurried into place.
The shutter closed several times in a row, and only then did Mo realize his hair had to be a MESS. Why hadn't his stylists fixed him? "Don't smiiiiiiiiiile," Mo said in that 'say cheese' voice he hated, and he tried to affect one of those Quidditch player man-of-steel faces instead.
Did they look awesome? "Any other poses we want to try, 'cause we have a minute before we go into the tent and develop all our photos."

I mean, it was just a photoshoot right? Perhaps it would understandable that it was a Quidditch injury or something. Maybe they might just overlook it, but nah. That didn't seem likely. But anyway, they were supposed to like start the photoshoot now, yeah? They had the brooms, helmets, and jerseys.
Right. Astrid took a jersey and put it on. Yep, she had the Quidditch feel now, didn't she? And the flags too, they added to the atmosphere. "I feel like a Quidditch star." How random, but yes. She really felt like one, especially since they had to have a photoshoot and all that while wearing these gear. She tried to imagine like this was a photoshoot for the cover of a famous international Quidditch magazine so that she could have the feel of being a model.
OH, and the timer was starting. Yes, yes. That was the cue. Astrid looked at the camera and no smiling. Yep. Gotta do that "lazy model" pose that they had planned on earlier. And.... SNAP! Yes! First photo done. Guess they had a few more minutes to take a couple more shots because she totally heard Miss Courwell calling them or something. Gotta hurry up.
Other poses? Hmm. "What about you and Benjy do the back-to-back pose and cross your arms? Like real bros?" Astrid said. Because, why not? Anyway, they were going to be future Quidditch superstars and their names will be on the front cover of Quidditch Weekly one day. Can you see it? Because Astrid could.
Flag hung, Benjy pulled the jersey on awkwardly over the helmet already on his head. Yeah, yeah, he should have taken the helmet off first, but time was of the essence and he wasn't thinking straight. As it was Mo had already mention the timer.
He put his hands casually on his hips just in time for the first click of a shot being taken, and by the second one he'd actually managed to think about his facial expression. There was a steely look in his eyes, and a grittiness in his jawline. Or, that's what he was aiming for, anyway. He was far from being an actor, and had never modelled in his life, so who knew what it actually looked like. It felt cool though, that was for sure.
Oh, and other poses? Benjy nodded at Astrid. "That sounds cool, and then we could do an equivalent with you girls..." Just maybe a little cuter. He didn't added that bit aloud, but he definitely thought it. They were girls after all. He turned side on to the camera, folding his arms across his chest. "Like this?" He narrowed his brow a little, imagining that he was trying to psyche out one of the other teams.
How awesome would it be to pose for Quidditch Weekly for real?
"Anything else quickly?" Cos they could sneak in one or two more last last shots, right?

Once he had his arms around Hannah, he stood there, not quite sure what to do next.
Still not completely there, it took Hannah a moment to realize what was happening to her. Once it registered in her brain that this child was hugging her, her eyes about popped out of head. "What are you doing??? she hollered. Hannah tried to get her arms to work to push him off of her, but of course her arms were going at a snails pace and boy were they sore. "Get off of me!!!" Did she look like the kind of girl that would take kindly to hugs???
Was this even real life? She felt as if everything that was happening to her this term was like a page out of a horror story. She was very close to going over the edge. She was going to have a mental breakdown at the tender age of seventeen. She faintly heard something about moving into a tent or something, but she couldn't move at all.

Were they done? Were they almost done? They had to be because time was up and she had to get moving again, other engagements and all. Lizzie clapped her hands together to get their attention. "Alright everyone, finish this up, this concludes the seminar, thanks for coming. If you'll look to the centre of the table there's a container of Devomotion Potion that you lovelies can keep!" This shouldn't have been the end of their photography careers.
"You've all been brilliant today and can expect me to owl your photos to be collected by your Headmistress." She could have developed them here but she was busily watching them to make sure they hadn't ruined their own work.
Overall, she'd classify this a success!
Thanks for coming guys!!
