Colin at the burrow
It was another warm summer afternoon, school was starting in 2 weeks ((as we go by RL-time)).
Colin made his way to the Burrow. He had said to Ron that he would come before school started, so here he was.
He wondered if Ron and Malfoy would go back to Hogwarts. Ron had mentioned something about 'not going back if they didn't find a solution for Malfoy's blindness'. He really hoped he would return. After all it would be Ron's last and final year.
Colin sighed a little and knocked on the door, hoping Ron would be here,... hoping 'someone' would be here!

Ron was infact, there. Actually, he wasn't that far from the door when Colin knocked. Actually, the sound of a rapping at the door made him jump, he was rather easily suprised lately. He had gotten used to his little routine and extras startled him. Yet he stood and went over to the door, opening it. His face actually lit up at the sight of his friend on the other side. "Colin!"

	"Hey Ron!", Colin smiled brightly,"I told you I would come one day, so ... Here I am!" He looked around if he could see any sight of Malfoy, but apparently the other boy seemed to be somewhere else. He didn't know if he was pleased with that or not. "So, how are you on this lovely afternoon?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ron grinned and opened the door further to let Colin in, closing it after him. "It's good to see you again. I'm glad you came. I'm alright, your knock gave me a bit of a start. I always worry about who could be knocking at my door nowadays.." Ron's expression grew slightly dreary at that thought, then quickly brightened. "How are things with you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-22 11:19 (link)
	"Sorry about that knock. Didn't mean to frighten you!" Colin apologized, "How are things with me?" He shrugged a little, "Same as yesterday and the day before yesterday..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-22 11:21 (link)
	"Don't worry about it." Ron gave Colin a reassuring smile and led him into the living room, plopping down on a couch. "Still no change on how he's doing..?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-22 11:26 (link)
	"Uh...? Oh, Seamus!", Colin sighed, "Not really,... Codey told me he's moving now. Well, the kind you do in your sleep, but other than that..." He shrugged again. "And eh... how's Malfoy?" Colin had read in Draco's journal that the boy seemed to prefer to forget that name, but Colin couldn't bring himself to call him Draco... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

redheadded 2003-08-22 11:29 (link)

"Well, that's a start. We can only hope that he gets better in time to go back to Hogwarts in a couple weeks. Um. Who's Codey though? I don't think I recognise that name.." Ron considered the name, and couldn't really place it. Maybe it was one of Colin's muggle friends or something. He wasn't sure. "He's managing. Seems to be feeling a lot better lately. Doesn't tire out so easily. Still can't see, but aside from that.. Seems to be back to normal, mostly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool_colin 2003-08-22 11:35 (link)

Colin smiled, "Codey is Seamus little brother. He'll be going to Hogwarts this coming schoolyear. And I really hope Seamus will be better by that time. Somehow the mother seemed to have left him on his own,..." He shook his head at that thought, "Well, I'm thinking of going to Diagon Alley with him, so we can both buy our schoolstuff... and Seamus'." "Anyway, good to hear he's doing better. I hope ge doesn't mind me being here, I mean... we aren't the best of friends as you know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

redheadded 2003-08-22 11:40 (link)

"Seamus has a little brother? Really? Huh. I didn't know that. Guess I'll meet him when we start this year, then. At least he's keeping an eye on Seamus. Sorry to hear that his mother left him on his own. If there's anything I can do.. let me okay, okay? As for Draco minding you being here. If he doesn't want to see you, he can just stay up in my room, really. I'm allowed to visit with my friends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool_colin 2003-08-22 11:45 (link)

Colin grinned: "I didn't know myself. Actually, I think there's still a lot I don't know about him." He frowned a little at Ron's comment about Draco. He could have known Malfoy was here and yes of course, this was still Ron's house, so he's allowed to invite however he wants, but still... "Okay, then. I just don't want to upset him. He's been through something terible." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

redheadded 2003-08-22 11:49 (link)

"Well, all the better to learn more, right?" Ron smiled, he hoped the pair would be happy together. He saw them pairing up in the near future as inevitable now, based on how Colin was worried about him. Granted, he was worried about Seamus too.. but not quite in the same way as Colin. "I don't think it should upset him.. If he doesn't want to see you, he just won't come down. You know how he is. If he has a problem with it, he'll say something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool_colin 2003-08-22 11:54 (link)

He hated himself for not being able to visit Seamus more often and he hadn't seen Codey anymore after their first visit. "Yeah, I know how he is, "Colin smirked. "Well, this summer surely didn't turn out to be one of the best we had,... for none of us! Talk about something more brighter? Shall we?", He asked, "How are your brothers doing? Fred and George are still serious about their joke-shope?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

redheadded 2003-08-22 11:56 (link)

Ron again took on a pleasant smile. It really was nice to see a friend again. It was so odd being cooped up in his house so much. "No, it hasn't been the best of summers. But I'm looking forward to school at least! Though I haven't seen Fred or George all that much lately. They must be, if they're around so little. I know at the begining of the summer they were constantly testing stuff with Harry. So they seem as into that as ever. At least they stopped testing on me" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-22 11:59 (link)
	"You lucky guy!... Harry is their victim now? Poor boy!" Collin laughed. He didn't wanted to have any stuff tested on him! Not in a million years! "That's right, I forgot... Harry is still staying here, right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-22 12:01 (link)
	"He was. He moved out before the whole thing with Draco happened.. almost a month ago, I guess." One of the many massive changes that kept happening this summer. It was almost impossible to keep track of everything that kept happening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-22 15:04 (link)
	"Okay, seems I've missed a lot lately..." Finally Colin got seated on the cough, next to Ron. "Any other changes that have taken place and I'm not aware of?", he asked the boy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-23 11:28 (link)
	"Yeah, there's been some.. stuff happening and everything." Ron shrugged. "What else.. um.. Neville moved into his own place, I know that. Harry moved out.. Sirius got cleared and everything, though you probably knew that one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-23 12:17 (link)
	"Yep, heard of the last one. Was actually the best news of this summer." He had read about that in the Daily Prophet before he travelled to Africa. "So Neville's lib-ving on his own, Harry too,... Djzee, it almost makes me wish I'd be living on my own too!" Colin grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-23 12:18 (link)
	Again, Ron shrugged. "School starts in a couple weeks anyway. Nothing wrong with living with my parents. Especially since they've been helping so much with Draco lately. I'm rather lucky to be living here, I'd think. Though I'm looking forward to school. If I get to go, that is.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-23 12:26 (link)
	"Hey! I'm not complaining! Mother is so glad we are home for a change that she's really taking great care of us. I mean, if we let her, she would even tuck us in bed." But now that Ron had brought up the -Draco- subject again: "Now you mention him, will you be able to go to Hogwarts?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-24 12:09 (link)
	Ron smiled at the image of Colin's mother tucking him into bed. "Well, certainly can't complain about it then. Glad to know that you're being taken care of over the summer if nothing else. As for Hogwarts... I still don't know, honestly. I mean, I'd like to go. To finish our last year. But if he can't go..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool_colin 2003-08-24 13:05 (link)

"... you won't go either", Colin finished Ron's sentence, "I know..." He sighed a little. "I really hope you'll be able to go. Both of you! I know Fred and George never finished their last year at Hogwarts -can't blame them for it at that time- but it would be a shame to miss that last year... Well, that's what I think, but the circumstances are- of course- different for you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-25 10:05 (link)
	"Me too. Between the fact that its our last year, plus that he's Head Boy... I would hate for him to have to miss that. Hopefully everything goes well and we get to go. There's still over a week to go, there's still a chance." He gave Colin a weak smile, he was trying hard to be upbeat about something to upsetting. He really did want to go back to Hogwarts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool_colin 2003-08-25 21:00 (link)

"Malfoy is Head Boy?" Colin wasn't too surprised to hear this. "I was already afraid... I already -thought- they might have made him Head Boy. Good for him, and as you said: It's still one more week untill school starts again. A lot can happen in one week time." Like Seamus getting out of his coma, for example... Speaking of which. "Maybe I should go. I believe someone's awake upstairs." Colin stood up, looking up the stairs. "And at this hour, maybe there's still time to stop by at St Mungos..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-26 09:57 (link)
	"Yeah, apparently he is. Though that isn't really all that suprising, is it? That Draco would make head boy. It was kinda a given. But yeah, I think I heard someone moving around, I should go check to see if everythings okay... I hope everything goes well, and Seamus gets better." Ron put an arm around Colin's shoulders and gave him a reassuring squeeze. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-08-26 10:04 (link)
	Colin heard noices on the stairs and then a familiar voice. Yet it sounded less cold as he remembered it. "I believe someone's calling for you." Colin said, hugging Ron lightly back, "I better go... and leave the two of you alone." ((OOC: double reply, as Draco has entered the thread.)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Draco made his way out of the room, stretching a bit and pausing at the doorframe. Now was the tricky part. He made his way out and felt towards the stairs, hands finding the railing. He made his way down slowly, but noisily. "Ron?" He heard voices coming from the bottom floor and slowly continued making his way down. Yes, that was Ron's voice he heard...whose was the other's? He FINALLY stopped at the bottom of the stairs and paused. Well, now he was stuck. He knew to one side was the kitched, and the other way was the living room and such. He can navigate to the kitchen...the living room is something else. "Hello?" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ron made a motion to Colin to stay put for a moment as he rose and went off to help Draco. He moved to the blonde's side, running a hand across his cheek tenderly. "Yeah, its me, its okay. Colin stopped by to visit. You alright?" He gingerly took Draco's hand into his own, glancing over to where Colin sat, then back at Draco in concern. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Colin leaned back in the couch, not saying another word and looked at the two boys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexy_slytherin 2003-08-26 16:06 (link)
	He turned his head towards Ron. "Oh, so that's who it is. Didn't recognize the voice. Didn't know where you were, woke up and you weren't around." He smiled a little. "Didn't want to interrupt.." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

redheadded 2003-08-26 16:10 (link)

"Sorry about that, I was just getting some breakfast and expected to be back before you woke up. Wanna come say hi or something? Or should I help you back upstairs? He was just on his way to St. Mungo's pretty soon anyway." He still found it bizzare that Draco was so helpless, that he had to help him so much with everything. He worried that he was babying him too much, or something half the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexy_slytherin 2003-08-26 16:22 (link)
	He shook his head softly. "He probably wouldn't want to see me anyway. Just lead me to the kitchen and I'll wait there, ok? You can finish your visit..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redheadded 2003-08-26 17:37 (link)
	"I don't think he'd mind. But if thats what you'd rather." He held Draco's hand tenderly, another wrapping around his shoulders to slowly guide him towards the kitchen. "We probably won't be too long. Do you want anything before I go?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

cool_colin 2003-08-27 05:08 (link)

Colin saw the two boys appear for a second and disappear in the kitchen. It seemed to him that the Slytherin prefered not to meet him. Well, he wasn't going to force the guy and Colin didn't want to upset him either. For a moment he thought of leaving quietly, leaving the two alone. But going away without saying goodbye would be rude. So he stayed and waited untill Ron came back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sexy_slytherin 2003-08-28 03:58 (link)
	He smiled a bit at Ron. "Colin wouldn't want to meet me anyway, after I practically forced myself on him. Just go, I don't want to cause any trouble right now." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cool_colin 2003-09-01 15:14 (link)
	Colin was still sitting in the couch and rested his head against the back of it. He closed his eyes and slowly dozed off. After all, the boy was already awake from 4 in the morning! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
