Creevey's ChaseColin was on the lookout for another photo for another story for the school paper. The article had been written, all he needed was this photo. He was desperate to get it, this could make or break the paper.
He travelled the corridors of Hogwarts looking for the person who would take the mainframe of the photo. He had heard how Harry Potter was helping the house-elves of Hogwarts along with his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. He wanted a photo of all three, but couldn't find the trio anywhere.
Colin thought that they may be on another one of their adventures. He saw Ginny Weasley and wondered if she would know where Harry was as she usually did, "Ginny," Colin said. She turned to him, "Do you know where Harry is?"
"Erm, no Colin I don't..." She said quickly as a red blush appeared on her cheeks and she walked away.
Colin continued on his search before finding Neville who looked flustered, "Hey Neville, do you know where Harry is by any chance?"
"Colin, no, no, I haven't seen him since breakfast, must dash, got work to do..." And with that he was away.
So Colin went on, looking down every corridor, going into every classroom. He eventually met Lavender and Parvati on his journey, "Hiya girls, you two wouldn't know where Hermione, Ron or Harry is?"
The girls giggled as usual before replying, "Awww, does little Colin want a picture of Hermione for his album?"
"Erm..." Colin started before the girls giggling got too much and he backed away.
He wasn't looking where he was going and bumped into Draco Malfoy, "Watch where you're going Creevey!" He sneered at the poor boy, his mouth turned in his usual smirk, his hair perfect and his cronies, Crabbe and Goyle at his side, "What you doing, wondering these corridors!" He spotted the camera, "Ah, more pictures of famous Potter?"
"N-no..." Colin stuttered, trying to get away.
"Don't act the fool with me Creevey, I think we should take this camera away, unless you want us three in you next headline, 'Three Superb Slytherins take troublesome camera from Irritating Creevey!"
The boys laughed stupidly before rounding on him. He was terrified, until he saw the three people he was looking for.
"Harry!" He called to the black haired boy as he was walking down the corridor, Hermione with a few large books in her hands, Ron looking mad as he saw Malfoy.
"Hiya Colin," Harry said glumly, before he saw what was taking place, "Colin, are these three bothering you?" He stopped walking as did his two friends, keeping close in case things got out of hand.
"Well, they were going to take my camera off me!" Colin squeaked as he ran to his heroes.
"Potter, Weasley and Granger, I should've known you three would turn up, playing the hero as usual..." Malfoy spat at the trio.
"Don't blame Harry for your attitude Malfoy!" Hermione said hotly as she defended her friend.
"Yeah, Malfoy, as small as Creevey is we still have more numbers here than you!" Ron added as he stepped closer to Malfoy in a threatening way.
"Oh come off it Weasley, you really think you lot could take on me, Crabbe and Goyle? Did you sell what little brains you had to get a bit of money, I didn't even think you were
that poor..."
That was it. Ron was for Malfoy. Crabbe and Goyle jumped forward to protect him. Hermione screamed, "NO RON!" as Harry tried to keep him back.
All the while Colin was there with his camera, flashing away. Malfoy quickly noticed and was about to grab his camera before Ron pushed Crabbe into Goyle, causing the two of them to topple into Malfoy.
Harry gave Ron a high-five as Hermione laughed at the sight of the three of them on the floor. Colin said quickly, "You three, surround them! This is going to make the first page!" Before the trio knew what was happening they were in position as Colin snapped a great photo.
"Thanks guys! I'd better get this to the editor!" He rushed away, leaving the trio smiling as the three Slytherins still struggled on the ground.
Even though the picture Colin got wasn't what he intended, it was much better. He could see the headline now, 'Roar is better than bite! - Three Gryffindors save one of their fellows, Colin Creevey, from three Slytherins in a tremendous battle of the houses!'
He scurred to the editor, the article fixed in his mind.
I don't go looking for trouble, trouble usually finds me.
