Colin had started to become more and more frantic the longer he spent searching out anything that would give him a clue as to what had happened - this did not make any sense. He had been fighting just moments before, and now, now it was like none of it had happened, but that couldn't be right.
He held his wand tight as he moved around the grounds of the school, some what familiar, but also different, little things he couldn't put his finger on it but things weren't just like he had remembered them. There had been groups of students, he'd seen them in the distance, across the grounds. None of this was making sense, why were there students here, acting like nothing was the matter? What was this?
And then there were two men, he held his wand up pointing at the two of them as they approached him. Colin. They knew his name, how did they know his name? He'd never seen them before, he didn't know either of them. He narrowed his eyes at the man that had spoken his name, watched him carefully, trying to make out anything familiar there - there was something, but he couldn't be sure.
"Stop." He called stepping back away from them. "Don't come any closer." He tried to keep his voice even to be strong, and yet he knew his was trembling. "Who are you? Where am I?" This place may have looked like Hogwarts, but there was too much that was different, he was convinced that this was not the school he knew.
