Sure, cameras existed in the wizarding world, but I'd never actually bothered with one before because I had no need to. One day, Michael took my picture and showed it to me. It didn't move, but it was interesting in its own right. Even if it was just me, looking at the camera like Michael was crazy.

He tried to take it and said that I didn't look upset. I looked beautiful.

So I put it in the pocket of my robe, and said that I thought I'd keep it for a while. He got all overdramatic then. I think it was a side of him he showed to about three people, and I was one of the lucky ones. This made me roll my eyes almost one-hundred percent of the time, and I think that's why he did it. He knew it would make me laugh, so he said that he'd die if I didn't give him that picture back.

"You're impossible," I said, taking the picture out of my pocket and looking at it. "This isn't even a very good picture of me."

"You've only ever had your picture taken once, Daph," he said, and made a grab for it again. I pulled it out of his reach. "...And that's it. So there's nothing to base it on."

"Still, I don't like it."

"I do." He lay on his side on the floor, rolling dark eyes up at me. "And I'll die if I can't have it."

"You already said that," I pointed out, turning the picture upside-down. It looked better that way.

"Oh, did I?" he asked, propping himself up on one elbow. "Must have slipped my mind. I'll die if I can't have that picture."

I rolled my eyes again and held it out to him. Certainly I was not going to be responsible for Michael's death.
