Text Cut: You guys! The pictures were being snapped already? Just of them in general, yeah? Awkward Alec was awkward and he was going to do something he was good at: stand there. Awkwardly. Of course. Wait... did his hair look okay? ... Not the time. GRIN for the camera. Hey! Rummaging through the items, the boy pulled out a cape of his own, a red one, a draped that around his shoulders. Did he feel cool? YEAH. He was Head Boy Goofiness? Cowgirl? "What about..." Think. "What about we do it as one verses the other? Cowgirls or cowboys vs. Superheroes?" The goofiness theme required a bit more thinking. Just a bit. "We could make the pictures goofy on their own. I mean... they don't have to be completely serious pictures. Pull funny faces, make them weird... yeah." ... Unless... they had a different idea of goofiness? |

Beaming she threw her hand on her hip and threw her head back. She tried to move her body quickly, but it just wasn't cooperating with her. She was still going to have beautiful pictures if it killed her. |

"Hey Ian. I'm Hannah." Look at her not hexing him and stuff. Was she ok??? "No, I am not okay. I am falling apart over here." In case he didn't notice or anything. Hannah was scared to even look in a mirror these days. |

SPOILER!!: Adi and friend Alright so they needed to get a camera and props for what they would be shooting. Adi had seemed to be getting up to get them and Ben was ready to leave his Hufflepuff friend to do just that since the woman said only one person from each group was needed. However when the other member of their group followed, it seemed they were to be thinking on their feet and moving to work together. So Benjamin followed, listening to the idea being shared. "That would work...there are four of us." And contrary to the title there were technically 4 musketeers. As for props, the swords were definitely the main thing. "Maybe capes...hats with feathers?" the Gryffindor mused, running a hand absently through his hair. And given the fact that the seminar leader wanted them to move onto the backdrop area, they probably should get their stuff ready...whatever they were. |
Benny and Kace Alright! "Three Musketeers theme it is then,'' Adi said rather enthusiastically. "Or four rather.'' He looked at the costumes. "I guess we should just look for the capes and feather hats.'' And swords. "Who wants to do swords and who wants to do costumes?'' Adi began digging into the costumes and after some rummaging he found a black cape. "Is this going to be okay?'' Adi asked Kace & Benny. That reminded him- they needed those old fashioned boots. "Footwear. We'll need that too. Old fashioned boots if I'm not mistaken.'' In all honesty, Adi did not know much about these Musketeers. He continued his rummaging and came up with a hat with as red feather. |
SPOILER!!: Astrid, Benjy, Cat. ABC "The flag!" Mo nodded vehemently as Benjy pulled a flag out of the box. That would work nicely, and Mo was pretty sure that, if necessary, they could even transfigure the fabric with a team logo. Although going with a National team look was better, in a way. He waited for everyone to finish pulling their items out of the box, quietly pleased with how well the group was getting on and how nice everyone was being to Cat about her arm. Just pleased in general. "Your hair is fantastic, Benjy. I'll wear the helmet AND the goggles, if you want, 'cause... you know the girls won't be willing to wear it," Mo said quietly to Benjy as the gestured to the wall behind their bench. Flag there, good sir, and then they could begin. "I have a tripod with me. That's normal, right?" Mo looked to Cat for affirmation before continuing. "We can set up the camera and then all four of us can be in the picture together. Maybe the girls on the bench and Benjy and I can stand behind them and look menacing. What if we... Accio'd our brooms?" All the thoughts at once. "I'm ready as soon as we're posed." |

"Hi, sorry to bother you but...someone has to take the picture right? It's not magical in the sense that it can float and take pictures by itself? Or does it have a timer?" he asked. So many different photo things... |
Text Cut: Oichi and Alec Gwen nodded. Of course they could do cowboys too. It's not like she was in charge in any way. She was probably the youngest person in this whole group. Lucas seemed about her age, but he might have been a year or two older. Oichi and Alec were definitely the near-adults in the group. 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. |

Jumping back to his feet he threw the nose back on "Awesome not broken." Yep that was a winner now that his nose was back on he was fully a clown again. Here that people BART THE CLOWN WAS IN THAT HOUSE! He looked at the library back drop way to perfect and back at Caleb. "Dude this was great!" They were going to have the best picture. He put his hand up "High five" Watching Caleb go over to the woman he stood near their back drop and waited. Once it was free he started workig on how he was going to stand and which way he would face for the picture. Making the silliest faces he could think and the best poses. Which one was better? He had to figure this out. |
Don't Blink Group. PM was sent xD Sander was just as stumped as the rest when it came to naming any famous statues that Alex hadn't already named. Then he had a brilliant idea...at least he hoped the others would agree as well. "Hey everybody I was thinking. If we keep this up, we're never going to get a chance to have our pictures taken. So here's what I propose, why don't we dress up as someone famous. It can be someone in muggle, magical or fantasy," Sander paused to let his suggestion sink in. "I'm going to dress up like Peter Pan for reasons, Tessa and Lux know. Alex, remind me to tell you about that later. Tessa, since you love flying and Quidditch, maybe you could dress up to look like Jokunda Sykes or Gwenog Jones. Lux...hmmm...I guess you could dress as a Cucumber Sandwich or a cucumber," Sander tried to refrain from laughing but the laughter just spilled out of him. "I'm sorry, Lux. You can pick whatever you want to be. Alex, you love skating, why don't you dress up as one of famous female ice skaters of all time. I'm thinking you'll know who better than I do," he suggested to Alex. "If everyone has no objections, let's go dig in the box to see what we can find to dress the part," Sander told everyone before walking over to the box. He dug inside and first pulled out a pair a green tights. He frowned down at it and shook his head. He'd just get Tessa to change the color of his clothes to green. He did manage to find a pair of green boots. He quickly kicked off his own shoes, pointed his wand to at the boots to enlarge them to his feet size. Then he slipped them on his feet. Perfect. He continued to dig inside the box until he found the cap that Peter Pan was known to wear on his head. He walked back to the group. "Hello I'm Peter Pan. Tessa could you change the color of my clothes like you did at the Tower Patch?" Sander asked Tessa. |

She excitedly nodded, bouncing a little. "I want to be Ariel!" Ariel was famous, and Lucas called her that, so she was going to be Ariel! Giggling as she watched him get out the stuff to be Peter Pan, she started looking through the options to see what there was available to her. "If I wear a dress, I could be Ariel when she has legs..." The idea of wearing a fancy dress did not appeal to her in the slightest, but she somehow doubted that the instructor had anything that would make her into a mermaid. Besides, it would be very hard to do a photo shoot with a fish tail. |
Text Cut: ^____^ Was that a flag? The one Benjy was holding? Astrid squinted at the fabric and... yes, that was a flag. Union Jack. They could use a few spells on that to change it to the logo of some Quidditch Team or something. Good one. Nice. They only needed a broom now, though. It was an important part of their photoshoot, after all. What's a Quidditch Team without brooms? Well, she did see some without brooms but, to her, it seemed like there was something missing. Something that lacks, you know? Did anyone get what she meant? Did anyone feel her? ... Oh? Something near her left arm? Astrid looked to her left and dug for whatever it was, before pulling it and holding it up. AH. A broom for kids! A little bit of charms could do the trick, right? "Some sort of broom made specially for toddler, I think? It's kinda smaller than the normal broomstick." Yep. That was it. "This would do, yeah?" They had nothing else so they'd have to stick with this one. It wasn't a big deal, anyway. So, were Cat and Benjy ready? "I'm good to go," Astrid said. They found some jerseys that they could slip on. Mo was taking the photos until it was his turn, right? She looked at her fellow models. Time to start? |

"Your hair.. is there a yellow wig in there?" Because Thor kind of had some shiny, shoulder length locks. 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?" |
SPOILER!!: Sander Tessa was trying to brainstorm some ideas when Sander spoke up again. A smile slowly spread on her lips and she nodded emphatically. "That's a great idea Sander... and how did you know those would be some of my top choices?" she asked with a laugh. All of the ideas sounded wonderful, although she hoped Lux would think of a person rather than a cucumber. Granted, a cucumber would be funny! She walked with Sander into the tent, but went to a different section. There, she found Quidditch supplies and outfits and she quickly gathered an armful of them, as well as a broom and a beater's bat. A pair of goggles were precariously balanced on her head, and managed to stay there as she walked back to where their group was. "Okay, I'm ready," she said, dumping the outfit onto the table. She began putting the gear on, thinking about changing the color of a few of them when Sander joined them. She giggled at his boots and nodded at his question. "Sure, ready?" she asked, giving him a moment to prepare. Raising her want, she cast "Colovaria," just like she had at the Tower Patch. Instantly, the color of his clothes changed to the Peter pan green and she grinned. "How's that?" she asked, pulling on some more of her quidditch gear. She slipped the goggles onto her head, but after a moment, figured she should make her hair look a little more wind blown. She fluffed it out, frowning as she noticed a few grey hairs mixed in with all of the colors. That was odd. SPOILER!!: Lux Tessa grinned at Lux's excitement, which only widened at her suggestion of how she dress up. "That sounds great Cucumber!" she said with a laugh. As they all were looking through costumes, she heard Lux's comment. "Well, if you'd like, I can just do the color change charm on your pants, like I'm going to do with Sander... but I'm sure that there will be something in here that will help with your mermaid costume..." She began looking with Lux since she had already gathered up everything she needed. "Here's one thing," she said, taking out a sea shell barrette. She slipped it into Lux's hair with a smile. "Perfect!" |

Well if he was just going to stand there beside her maybe he could make himself useful. "Could you get a fan or something and hold it for me so my hair can blow the way I want it to?" she flashed him her pearly whites. Make yourself useful kid. |
Ian heard her sharp response and held up his hands. Sorry. Just showing a little concern. He looked at her a little closer. She looked very weary. As if it took great effort for her to be standing. He didn't feel like drawing such a harsh response again so he decided she knew what was best for her. Maybe he'd mention it to his head of house later. She gave him an instruction and he shrugged, said ok and headed off to grab a fan as she smiled at him. He returned shortly holding a green paper fan with an image of a phoenix on it that erupted in flames, dropped into the ashes and re-emerged from the flames in glory. He hoped it was the kind she was looking for. He held it up and then began to move the fan up and down close to her hair to make it move. It seemed silly to make your hair move, but what did he know about fashion photography? |

She watched as he ran off to get what she wanted. This was nice. She had to bite her tongue so she wouldn't call him a good boy. Still she recognized someone that could come in handy so she would be a bit nicer to him. He didn't get exactly what she wanted, but it would do. She moved back and forth with her hips alternating her hands over her head to her hips and rubbing them through her hair. "Thanks for that." Feeling a tad bit bad she called him over. "Come here." He could at least get some pics next to her. "Follow my lead." Serious poses. She grabbed his arms and positioned them where they need to be. "Don't smile." Oh yes... she was bossy, but if you were going to be in picture with her you were going to look good. |

He grinned that she showed appreciation for his fan fetching. You're welcome. Of course the young huffie boy didn't really have any concept that he might appear to be an errand boy. He was just happy to be helpful. He did as he was instructed as she began to show him how to pose and place him in 'proper' position. When she said don't smile, he did his very twelve year old boy best to not smile. Of course this was a little fun as he enjoyed the Elton John persona and he felt like he should be a little flamboyant. He could imagine being Elton John and Kiki Dee singing Don't go breaking my heart in the seventies. He wondered if he should ask if she wanted to sing with him. He decided it might ruin the moment and tried to maintain a serious face during the session until she told him differently. |
Sander, Lux & Tessa SPOILER!!: Sander SPOILER!!: Lux SPOILER!!: Tessa Alex listened to Sander's idea and as he explained it, she was liking it more and more. I love that idea!, Alex said enthusiastically. She was already thinking what pieces she might be able to use for her costume. Everyone else seemed pleased with the idea too and they were busy gathering the items that they needed. After giving it some thought, Alex decided that she wanted to be Michelle Kwan. She was an American skater who had won many, many championships. Alex had seen video of her and thought she was the most beautiful skater she had ever seen. Looking through the costumes and props, Alex found a leotard and flowing skirt that could serve as her skating costume. Wondering what she was going to do about skates, she was surprised to find a pair in one of the boxes. Satisfied with her costume, Alex looked around to see how the others were doing. |

He saw her enchant the fan and then told him to move around her and pose however he liked. He thought she should be the star of the photos and so he walked around and kind of gestured with his hands toward her, maybe throwing in a bow here or there and occasionally stand next to her, even though he was a little shorter than she was. |

So Hannah had him do this partly because she felt like she was the main event and partly because she didn't think she could move too well, and she for sure knew that it would take her far too long to accomplish much of anything so this was just better. As the fan was going and Ian was moving two things happened. The first thing was that the fan just so happened to move her hair directly in her line of vision and what she saw brought pure horror to the seventh year. The second thing was that her worse fears were confirmed, there was something seriously wrong with her. She had grey hair! "IAN!" she grabbed him with both hands on his shirt. "Do you see this? her mad eyes looking directly into his. She was crazy right? This was not happening. This had to be some kind of trick with the light. "Tell me this doesn't look grey to you!!!" Hannah was still clutching the boys shirt. She was in shock. |
