Harry Potter's sister ~~~ Fanfiction

dobby's confession part 38

Madam Pomfrey performed a few checks on Harry before tucking him in.

"Oh who left that?" she said pointing at a camera on one of the spare chairs strewn around Harry's bed.

"That's Colin's." said Harry "He must have left it here by accident when you shooed him and the others out. I'll give it to him tomorrow."

There, that's it ready." Said Emma. She and Colin had just prepared the next batch of photos for Colin to send home to his family.

"Yeah, but maybe we should wait a little, I used up the last of my film on the Quidditch match. That film's also got you and me exchanging red sparks in the Practice Room. Maybe we could wait until it's developed." Said Colin lifting up his camera bag. He took out the canister with the film in it.

"You changed the film already?"

"Yeah, I ran out just before Harry caught the snitch, I didn't take any more pictures with it though. Oh no."

"What is it?" said Emma

"I took my Camera out in the infirmary I must have left it down there."

"Why did you take it out in there?" asked Emma incredulously

"I thought I might want to take a few shots, but when Harry chucked up I didn't think he would appreciate it so I stopped."

Emma smiled "It's just as well you didn't take any. I would have hexed you if you did."

Colin gave an uneasy smile. He looked a little awkward, but that passed when Emma laughed.

"Relax Colin, you're alright by us. You can pick it up tomorrow, it's after curfew now, no sense in loosing those points you earned us." Said Emma "I think I'll call it a night. Good night Colin."

"Good night Emma." Said the happy young boy.

When she was gone, Colin absentmindedly rubbed the cheek she had kissed earlier that day. Of course this meant even less to him than it did to Emma. Colin was only 11 and wasn't thinking anything other than "I got kissed by Emma Potter. Shut up idiot she's your friend. Emma is a really nice friend. I think I should go get my camera."

Colin focused more on his last thought, that camera meant a lot to him. He loved photography and his parents bought him that device when Hagrid took them to Diagon Alley.

All his friends had gone to bed, except Ginny who wasn't back from her walk (she had been taking a lot of them lately). Despite it being curfew Colin decided to go and get his camera, he made his way to the infirmary and found it lying on Harry's bedside table. He was careful not to wake Harry up as retrieved it and left. Later he would regret going out alone after hours, not because a teacher found him because someone else and something else did.

"There, that's it ready." Said Emma. She and Colin had just prepared the next batch of photos for Colin to send home to his family.

"Yeah, but maybe we should wait a little, I used up the last of my film on the Quidditch match. That film's also got you and me exchanging red sparks in the Practice Room. Maybe we could wait until it's developed." Said Colin lifting up his camera bag. He took out the canister with the film in it.
