Chapter 2369 the Captured Figure
"Yes, professor. Before he fainted, Colin was looking out of the window to take pictures. At that time, I asked him what he was taking. But before he could answer, he suddenly collapsed on the ground and passed out..."
Under Jimmy's detailed narration, the scene when Colin fainted was gradually outlined. During this period, Jimmy also mentioned the details that Colin was still taking photos before passing out.
Yes, if someone else, this behavior can easily be associated with the syncope itself. After all, who's okay with taking pictures? No matter how you look at it, it is mixed with suspicious.
But to be honest, if it was Colin, everyone would not be too surprised—because this kid has been under the influence of his father since he was an ordinary Muggle boy before entering Hogwarts. Then I became a little photography enthusiast.
And since he entered Hogwarts to go to school, he has come into contact with magic photos. He runs around with a magic camera all day long, taking pictures of people, scenery and things.
So... obviously, if it's Colin, wouldn't it be normal for him to be taking pictures or something? Over the past few years, everyone has already gotten used to this little guy who takes pictures all the time!
Fortunately...well, I don't know if I should say "fortunately" or not! However, since little Colin had already had an accident because of running around and taking pictures, Professor McGonagall frowned subconsciously when he heard Jimmy talking about taking pictures.
"'Photo'?" Minerva interrupted Jimmy who was still describing the situation at that time, and repeated the word mentioned by the other party.
"Uh, yes...what's the matter Professor?"
—————
Jimmy entered the school two years later than Colin. Although he had learned about the Basilisk Chamber of Secrets incident at Hogwarts through the story-telling chats of some seniors, he also knew that many students were petrified that year. . But among those victims, apart from the most famous one, Hermione Granger, Filch's cat was the one that was mentioned the most afterwards. Jimmy didn't know that there was Colin among them.
However, Jimmy didn't know it, but Madam Pomfrey at the side knew it all too well - she was the one who gave initial diagnosis and treatment to Colin and others in the petrification incident!
At this time, when Professor McGonagall mentioned the photo, she immediately reacted, and immediately pointed at the bedside table:
"When it comes to the camera, it's right there."
"Oh, thanks."
McGonagall turned her head to look, and the next moment she lightly picked up her wand, and Colin's camera, which was placed by the bedside, immediately jumped into her hand.
This magic camera is a new magic camera that Colin bought at the DeWeese and Bans Magic Equipment Store in Hogsmeade Village. It is said that it emptied the pocket money he had saved for several years in one fell swoop! It's not comparable to the second-hand one back then. It's a pity that when he fainted this time, he seemed to have dropped his precious camera, and a little crack had appeared on the corner of the casing, and he might cry when he woke up.
You know, this kind of magical equipment can't be easily repaired with a repair spell. I hope some important parts inside are not broken.
And... yes, for different reasons, even Professor McGonagall is thinking so at the moment.
"Crack."
I saw that Minerva first looked at the cracks and slight deformation on the camera casing with a little worry,
Then he pulled the buckle on the top. With a soft sound, the back panel of the camera automatically popped open, revealing the film compartment inside.
Although the appearance looks very similar, and even has a film negative, the camera principle of the magic camera is completely different from that of the Muggle camera. The negative development of Magic Photo does not require a special darkroom environment, and similarly, opening the film compartment at will, or even pulling the film directly will not have any influence on it.
Just like Professor McGonagall, who is doing this at this time——
"Wow."
The film that had just been taken out was instantly pulled apart in Minerva's hands, and it could be seen that almost every frame of negative on it had some faint images moving. It seemed that this roll of film had been used up by Colin before that.
After pulling all the way to the end, Mag pulled out his wand again, and flicked a little on the last frame of negative that had been used.
After a moment's pause, everyone present saw a slightly blurred image gradually appearing on the white wall not far away.
And at this moment, even Sirius, who had been thinking about things since he entered the door, subconsciously looked over.
"what is that?"
Jimmy next to him only glanced at it, and then he muttered to himself in surprise.
It can be seen that what Colin took was the scene at the entrance of an alley outside his apartment at that time. Due to the limitations of the magic photo itself, this can only be a very short clip.
However, perhaps because Colin is shooting everywhere almost every day, his capture skills are indeed outstanding. Even if it was just a moment, it was recorded in his camera like a conditioned reflex before he fainted——
It was a figure... no, not one, but several! At that time, when Jimmy and Colin ran to inform the second daughter of Lavender, it seemed that a few sneaky people happened to appear outside the apartment dormitory where they lived.
More importantly, although judging from the impact of this photo, the figures of Colin who appeared at the window and left quickly as if he had noticed the window were very vague, but everyone present did not think that they were his own .
And you must know that the current Italian Muggle community has been completely vacated by Professor McGonagall and other Hogwarts teachers and students from the very beginning, and outsiders are not allowed to enter! Not only did they assign their own people around to watch the intersection, but even Mrs. Maxim, who sent everyone over, asked the Italian Ministry of Magic to send two teams to patrol.
So... who are they? What are you going to do here?
Staring at the few black and white figures quietly flashing by in the image on the wall, Minerva's expression became more and more serious. After thinking for a while, she stopped projecting the photo negatives, stuffed the film and camera in her hand into the hands of Jimmy in front of her, and then walked straight to the door.
"Mr. Creevey may wake up in a while, you wait here, I will be back soon."
After realizing that there were probably several unidentified people sneaking in in the community, she naturally couldn't delay here any longer. Regardless of the others, at least the other professors must be notified first to ensure the safety of the students.
"Fortunately, they haven't been allowed to leave the room at will since they settled here." Minerva said in her heart while walking.
