Zach did smile a little at that. Colin always said he saw people better looking through his camera and that his photos showed who they were. And those were only short periods of time, moments, pieces of who they were. And pictures couldn't talk, sadly. Zach doubted the Diggory family had gotten a portrait of Cedric before he died. No one expected to die so young.
Artists, painters, were really powerful people if they could capture someone like that...their spirit, their soul. And expensive or not, Zach wasn't sure how he felt about a portrait of himself being made. It would be like, if it were really good, a second version of him around experiencing the world. He'd be able to talk with himself. And wasn't that strange? "I don't know if talking with Aunt Adele's portrait would let me know that," Zach admitted, "I feel like I'd rather just talk with her and have whatever it is, than to know." Besides, it was the closest thing to her that he had, either way. There wasn't a better version of her around or anything.
