"Good. I'm selfish, I admit it. Don't want to lose you."
Chris smiled back at him. "You're a Creeevey." He said softly. "We're good at loads of things, but hiding our feelings isn't one of them."
"Not all of them. Isn't that Diggory boy there too." But was he in Colin's year? He couldn't remember. "It'll be okay. You could even make new friends. You made one in me." But he'd never been in Colin's place. Were people going to stare at him for being one of them who came back?
"I dunno, it's going to be odd, probably. But you'll still be okay." Just no running off and getting himself hurt, Chris pleaded silently.
