"Now Move over a little to the left Harry" Colin (1) said from behind his camera with a motion of his hand. Harry groaned in agitation and moved over to the left. They have been doing this for hours and he was getting really annoyed. Harry moved to the edge of the clear pond and looked at Colin.
"Colin I can't move any farther than this or I'll get my dress wet" Colin gave him a sweet smile.
"That's what I'm aiming for! Now get into the water" He commanded.
"I did not agree to this!" Harry said stomping into the water causing little droplets to splash on his powdered face.
"Sure you did, when you picked up your quill and signed that pink sheet of paper!" Colin said smiling.
"I did not! I would never sign anything that was pink" He screamed thrashing in the water. He stopped when he was knee deep in the water.
"Well if you plan on getting married Harry, then you would have to sign a sheet of paper that is of course, pink!"
"Well then I guess I'll just be a loner for the rest of my life, now wouldn't I?" He grumbled under his breath.
"Well we'll see about that" said Colin in a happy voice.
"And what's that supposed to mean!" Harry hollered at him.
"Well" He said placing a finger on his lips "I'm pretty sure you will gain plenty admires after these shoots, and most of them would probably be guys too, since your dressing like a girl and all, they'll just be more turned on than ever. Any ways you got my vote!" He held up a victory sign. "Now pose and stop wasting time."
"Fuck! Hogwarts is so fucked up!" he scowled at the camera. Click.

Harry draped himself just above the surface of the water and stared down at him self with a blank expression. Half his body was submerged in water. His heels dug into the bottom of the shallow pond. Colin stood motionlessly in the water only a few feet away from him. He didn't blink waiting for him to catch the shot flawlessly. But it seemed like hours before the camera went off, he wondered how Colin would manage get a full body shoot with him in this position. His thoughts were wiped away with a click of the camera and he moved.
"Damn, my body aches. I am so glad I got this competition over and done with, I don't think I would live another day if I had to do this again."
"Oh no, your not done Harry, you still have plenty more photo shoots to complete until you finish this competition."
"WHAT! I thought it was for only today!" He screeched at the smiling boy.
"Well Harry didn't you read the paper?" in an instance all anger was wiped out of him, because he knew right there that that had been his mistake.
"No!" He muttered harshly under his breath.
"Well Harry, you may go for now and make sure you read the paper for farther instructions for the next shoot alright, and good luck I'll be voting for you" He practically squealed at Harry.
Shaking his head he waltzed off in his dress and heels, behind the makeshift wall and changed. Once he was in his regular cloths he stopped to see Colin taking a pictures of a girl named Sarah What's-Her-Name, fifth year from Hufflepuff.
She wore a yellow dress that was backless. The material was rough and ended at her thin white legs. She brought her hands up and played with her hair. Her smile was brightened by the red lipstick she had on and her pearly white teeth shined beautifully in the flash of the camera.
When ever she moved in the water her dress would ride higher than necessary. In Harry's opinion she would look slightly below average if it weren't for Seamus's wonderful skills.
Turning away from the scene he walked back to the common room. Plopping himself onto an old brown couch he sighed. Closing his eyes for a moment of relaxation from the tiring day, he didn't realize his friends come in.
"Well Harry how was it?" Hermione said, peeling an orange.
"Yeah how was it mate, it wasn't as bad as you put it out to be, was it?" Ron asked, suddenly very interested.
"No it wasn't as bad as I put it…it was worse. I had to wear a dress! A dress can you believe it, me Harry Potter, The boy who lived, wearing a dress. The daily prophet will have a blast with this one!" He sighed and closed his eyes again, leaning his head on the couch. "And I had to wear bloody fucking heels that were like 5 inches long, My legs are still sore, and I bet you anything that those pictures are gonna come out like shit."
"Now Harry you have to be optimistic" she plopped an orange in her mouth "With that attitude you have going you probably won't win. Besides we will find out tomorrow during lunch, I heard Connor is going to post them up with Dumbledore's permission.
"What! That can't be possible, I won't live past lunch if her shows it then!" Harry shot up and looked frantically at them both "Tell me you're lying! Tell me this is all some fudged (2) up dream." He wanted to find a hard, thick, stone wall to bang his head against. He couldn't believe this was happening to him. He pushed Ron off the end of the couch and took up the remaining space and curled up into a protective ball.
"Come on Harry, Don't be like that, it won't be that bad, I promise" Hermione said trying to get Harry out of his protective ball.
"Just leave me alone" a muffled voice was heard from Harry, who refused to look up at his two best friends.
"Alright then mate, but we'll come back when you're ready to talk ok" Ron offered quietly to his sulking friend. That didn't earn him a reply. When Hermione and Ron looked at each other, they could only shrug as they made there way down to dinner. Hermione's could be head complimenting the elves on the new delicious Danish dish.
When they could be heard anymore Harry sat up and rubbed his eyes. He really wanted the floor to open up and swallow him whole. He didn't want to deal with this anymore.

STUPID PINK PAPER

Harry sat nervously at his desk trying to listen to Snape explain the results of a what-you-call-it potion when you drink it. But he was to busy thinking about lunch (which was coming up after class) and how he would be able to weasel out of going. He held his quill in between his index and middle, tapping it against the desk rapidly. He didn't notice everyone staring at him until Hermione tapped him on the shoulder.
"Harry" she whispered "Harry you idiot" She was licking a red lollipop when He came to.
/Where the hell did she get that/
He looked around the room. All the intense staring caused him to blush.
"Sorry" he mumbled.
"Glad to see your paying attention in my class, Potter" Snape scowled at Harry who was trying to hide behind his books. "Fifty points from Gryffindor for disrupting the class" The Slytherin's snickered behind their hands. Then Snape's sharp glare turned to Hermione. "And fifty points from you for eating in my class, throw that out instantly" Hermione grumbled all the way to the waste basket and before throwing it out she gave it one last suck and threw it away.
"Now I want a 2 foot essay on what you learned today about Poly juice potion. I want it on my desk tomorrow at noon on time and completed. Whoever fails to bring it in will lose points for there house do I make myself clear?" He said sitting down at his desk. Everyone mumbled a quiet yes.
"Good, class dismissed." He waved his hands and everyone got up and filed out of the room in a rush to get to the Great Hall for the much needed food. Harry sat there nervously, jumping when ever someone tried to address him.
"Harry, are you alright?" Asked Ginny, she passed him a worried look when he just nodded his head.
"I'm fine" he lied, in truth he was stressing out over what was going to happen at lunch today. He wasn't ready to face all the stares yet.
Hermione gave him a quizzical look with a mouth full of salad.
"Harry I don't understand why your worrying so much" She waved a half eaten shrimp in his face. He blinked owlishly at shrimp in his face. She ate the shrimp and picked up a peace of lettuce. "It won't be as bad as you put it to be, now shut up and eat you gosh darn food" She glared at him, though it would have been much more effective if her mouth wasn't full of some weird green thing. Though he knew better than to argue with her so he quickly nodded his head and ate a sausage.
He thought that he shouldn't be worrying about whatever was going to happen because they were already half way through lunch and nothing interesting has happened yet. He caught Hermione looking at him.
"You know Harry, I don't understand why you're so nervous its not like they are going to be doing anything to you physically, just show some of your best pictures, that's all" She looked at him with a smirk on her lips indicating she knew something he didn't, but he didn't question her.
"Gosh I can't wait, today everyone will know who I am, this was the opportunity I was waiting for my life, I'm glad I signed up for this contest. Maybe HE will notice me after they show my pictures." Harry looked over at the Hufflepuff table and found that Sarah girl staring at Ron, almost obsessively. She was talking to a girl with light brown hair that came down a little past her shoulder. She gave her friend a disgusted look.
"Please your trying to hard, Sarah. If you hadn't noticed He's to busy staring at that granger girl" Sarah glared at her.
"Well not after today" They stopped talking and Harry stopped listening. He looked over at Ron who was gnawing vigorously at a chicken leg. It was then that Ron looked over at him, mouth full of shredded white chicken meat. He held out the half eaten chicken towards Harry as if offering him the rest.
Harry tried not to look sick; instead he gave his friend a small smile, and waved his hand in refusal. Ron just looked away shrugging and continued to eat his food.
Harry stopped eating, when there was only 5 minutes left to lunch. He was feeling rather confident, because he was positive they could not do the presentation with only five minutes until the next classes. Hermione was eating a chocolate frog and talking to Parvati Patil.
He got up preparing to leave, but Dumbledore's booming voice stopped him. Everyone stopped their conversation to look at the smiling, old man. Harry sat back down but never took his eyes off the kooky headmaster. The twinkle in his eyes, gave Harry a bad feeling. It was then that Harry saw Hermione smiling at him knowingly.
"Today we have a special present for all of you hard working students." This caused some of the students talking in a low whisper, asking everyone and anyone if they knew what was going to happen. "Today's afternoon classes will be canceled. Colin wanted to show every one of the wonderful pictures he took." Harry looked with wide eyes at a smug looking Hermione.
"You knew" He whispered at her, but she ignored him.
"Please enjoy the pictures that Colin has taken of the contestants on their first day. I remind you I will not be accepting vulgar behavior from anyone. Now will Harry Potter please come up here" Everyone turned to look at him instantly. He sat there completely shocked.
/She said it was only a presentation. She said…she said…of forget what she said, I'm screwed either way/.
He didn't make a move to get up and the stares didn't stop. He recovered when he heard a very loud snicker coming from Slytherin's table. His blazing emerald green eyes met with brilliant grey eyes that were mocking him.
/Malfoy/
He saw the other boy smiling at him, then his perfect lips moved, but no sound came out.
Scared Potter?
Harry glared at the mocking boy.
"Mister Potter, can you please-" Dumbledore broke off when the said boy began stomping towards him. "Ah, very good" He laughed merrily when the fuming boy stopped at his side. "The first few pictures will be of our one and only Harry Potter."
Those who did not know of the competition gasped. They had all thought it was a girls competition so they would never have suspected that a boy nevertheless Harry Potter, to sign up. Harry could see what everyone was thinking with just one look in their eyes.
"Now let's begin!" with that the lights were completely wiped out.

Thank you for reviewing and I hope you like this chapter.
I was wondering if anyone was noticing that I spelled Collin's name two different ways, it's an accident and I hope that it doesn't bother anyone.
I use the word fudge when I'm angry as a substitute for a certain word. I just had to put it in.
I hope that that scene when Harry was in the water wasn't too hard to visualize. I couldn't explain it in a better way. So, sorry if you didn't get the image that I did.
