Colin felt better when Chris punched his arm, like this wasn't just something he was doing out of pity, he didn't know what he would have done otherwise, but he felt sure he could have come up with something if he needed to.
"So long as you're not a spoiled brat I suppose I can live with that." He teased with a small grin. "Better be careful about hitting me though, these mediwitches in here can be scary." He warned Chris quietly. "I tried walking around earlier," His eyes went wide at the memory. "I don't think I'll be trying that again any time soon."
"Yeah Harry was a brilliant teacher, he taught us so many things." Maybe if he'd learned a little more he wouldn't be here now, at least not like this. Maybe he could have been a proper uncle to Chris, been around to be a real big brother to Dennis, and Cormac, maybe Cormac wouldn't have such a hard time really looking at him.
"Yeah, alright, I'll do it." He grinned, feeling better that at least he would have a place to stay, he wondered if his parents kept his old clothes or not - if not he'd have to see about that, but for now it was enough to have a place to live.
