Deirdre never came out well in Colin’s photographs. Colin captured moments in time, things to be remembered. Deirdre didn’t want to be captured, or have photographs tell people who she was. She wanted to be able to mold the memories, her image, decide who she ways for each person she met. She could hardly do that if she was stuck, unmoving, undeniably this or that in Colin’s muggle photographs. As a result, Colin always caught her only suddenly and awkwardly aware of the camera.

Later, Deirdre seethed at being documented as the awkward acquaintance that showed up in the odd photo. She hated that that was the only view she had ever given to Colin’s camera, lank-haired and flat-eyed after being rejected by her Yule Ball date. She hated that it was the only photo that she had ever been able to give Colin. She hated that it was the only thing left of her and Colin–his camera, her photo.
