The pictures in fashion editorials are WAYYY out there," he said, recalling a magazine Jasmine had been reading from the muggle newstand once. "Of course, if you understand how a camera is constructed you could go into the camera repair business, or you could work in one of those places that make the cameras!"

The first seemed to be a professional one while the other was simple. He was leaning back watching the others students struggle for answers as he did not have a single idea about its history.
Then, he jumped up when he heard Professor Dumont's last question. Finally something he had an idea about. Before speaking he quickly what he observed from his father. Actually what he saw when he sneaked into his office when mom left him there for some minutes or so. ''Sir, sir, i know something else sir!'' he shouted out enthusiastically ''The police uses photos, too. I saw pictures of...'' he stopped recalling the sight of the them. They were not something to be described really. ''...of...'' he sighed ''...um yes the police uses photography but i dont really know the details.''
"All of you have lots of good ideas. You obviously know something about cameras already, all of you, but Gryffindor was quickest and get the 5 points," Antonio said.
"Okay, I told you all that we were going to have some fun, and that part is coming up now. This is actually going to be part of your homework, and here it is. I want all of you to take the magically enchanted camera you have been given and go and take photos with it. Go ahead and try to get photos of people who are not expecting it, that's the most challenging and fun of all, but be careful not to make anyone angry! So go, go and enjoy yourselves with the cameras. Get creative, creativity is a good thing."
Antonio dismissed the class with a flick of his wand -
