OWL: Colin to Cormac Who: Colin Creevey and Cormac McLaggen Where: Their homes When: 6 October 2024 Rating/Warnings: Summary: Colin decides to owl Cormac
It had been a long weekend for Colin - a long several days if he were being honest. He was still getting used to the new way of things but things were settling down some. At least he had a place to stay, and some of his old clothes as well, thankfully his parents hadn't thrown them out, they smelled a little musty though - another reminder that this was not his time even if he had worn the shirt he had on at the moment just last week.
Things with his family seemed like they might turn out alright, it had been difficult for his parents and yet despite all that they were glad to have him back, and Colin was glad to have at least a little normalcy in his life where so much was different.
And in search of further normalcy Colin thought perhaps he might owl Cormac. They hadn't really gotten the chance to talk that night he appeared at Hogwarts, not that he could have blamed Cormac, and yet Colin needed to talk to him, to see him again. Things were different now between them obviously but that didn't mean everything had to change between them, or he hoped it didn't.
And so he'd been in his room working, kneeling at one of his trunks parchment strewn across the flat top as he tried to put into words some of what he'd been thinking, and yet the pile of crumpled paper was just a sign that Colin hadn't the slightest idea of how to do that. And so in the end he settled for something simple.
Cormac,
I know this must be hard for you, it's hard for me as well and I'm not the one who's gone years but I hoped maybe I could see you again. Just to talk.
Colin
It wasn't really what he wanted to say, but he didn't know how else to word it and he hoped actually seeing Cormac would help him find the words.
