"Right, so who's the
tallest? We need to get these things up super high!" Aranya said as she
stood as close to the wall as she could and reached her arm up to see how high
she could reach.

"Not me," Rae
pointed out. "What if we lifted someone up, like we did with the
marquees?"

"Okay," Aranya
said with a grin and ran over to Rae to lift her up. "You're it!"

"No, no no! I'm
terrified of heights! Put me down!" Rae struggled as Aranya and Apolline
lifted her into the air. Of course, the other girls just laughed and continued
to lift her up anyway, dodging Rae's arms as she fought them off. Higher and
higher Rae was lifted up as Aranya and Apolline balanced her on their
shoulders. Suddenly, Rae let out an ear-piercing shriek as she came face to face
with a large, framed picture of an eye high up on the wall. 

"What?! Whoa!"
Aranya and Apolline struggled to hold Rae up as she started flailing, still
screaming as she tried to get away from the giant eye picture that turned and
looked at her as she fell. All her wobbling caused the two holding her up to
fall over as well, landing them right onto Professor Quilmane's desk, nearly
knocking it over.

"OW!" Rae
exclaimed, grimacing in pain and clutching her elbow as she slid to the floor.
"I think I broke something..."

"And I'm pretty sure
you broke my ears shrieking like that ! Seriously, it's just an eye.. a moving
eye admittedly, but still just an eye..." Apolline complained, fixing her
hairdo.

"You know,"
Aranya said as she picked herself up from the floor, dusting herself off.
"I never understood why people wanted moving pictures like that. I mean, I
get movies and stuff, but moving pictures are still weird to me. How do they
even DO that?"

"Actually, there is a
potion called the Developing Solution. I read about in the book I was reading
when Professor Nivera caught me." Anne recalled. 

"Hey! What's
this?" Adelaide inquired, holding up a Polaroid camera and several
pictures in her hand.

"Hey! Are those
pictures of Professors Quilmane and Aolen?" Rae forgot all about her elbow
being broken as she tried to snatch the pictures from Adelaide.

"Oh my gosh! They
are!" Adelaide exclaimed, going through all the printed photos. "Aw,
aren't they so cute! Look at this picture of them drinking at the Three Broomsticks!"
she gushed.

"Shut. Up. Let me
see!" Aranya said as she stood behind the two of them, her head between
theirs as she looked at the pictures.

While Adelaide and Aranya
gushed over the photos, Apolline grabbed the Polaroid that Adelaide had set
down on the desk. Laughing, she started taking pictures, mostly close-ups of
the other girls' eyeballs, but also pictures of everything else in the room.
She had never used a muggle camera like that before, and found it very
entertaining. Meanwhile, Rae resumed plastering photographs of eyes all over
the walls, assisted by a rather reluctant Anne. Detention essays and lollipops
were completely forgotten.

"Whoa, whoa,
whoa," Adelaide said. "What is going on here?!" Everyone dropped
what they were doing and rushed over to Adelaide, who was holding up an
off-center photo of Aolmane. 

"Are they...? No.. Or
are they... Arg! This is so frustrating! I want to see what they are
doing!" Apolline lamented.

Anne looked at the picture
and the girls, " We can brew the Developing Solution. I have a copy of the
book in my bag." Anne pulls out a copy of Advanced Potion Making and flips
to the potion instructions. "We will need to go back to the Potions
Classroom to get all of this stuff."

"Anne, how did you
find about this potion anyway," Rae asked incredulously. 

"It does not matter
how she found out about it, it's just brilliant! I can't wait to see the
result" Apolline answered, tugging excitedly on Aryana's robe.

"Let's get going
then! We have to get this started soon, right? How long does it take?"
Aranya started saying quickly, mostly talking to herself as they all left the
Charms office and started walking back to the Potions room.
