Dennis didn't understand. He knew he was supposed to, everyone kept saying it would get easier for him the longer he was here, but the more Ron and Ginny Weasley talked, the less Dennis understood. As a young muggle-born with only a few years of exposure to the magical world, this was so far out of the range that Dennis just couldn't wrap his mind around it. A village made of magic, that part was understandable. But the past and the present and the future all coming together to be together in one place? No. That hadn't been something that was discussed as even remotely possible in any of his three years at Hogwarts. And that was not Hogwarts in the distance! Being in two places at one time? While that seemed possible, the fact that he wouldn't remember this place, that he had been here before, older, Dennis just couldn't wrap his mind around it.
So when Colin appeared, after Dennis pretended like he understood what he was being told, he didn't know how to react. His brother was dead. He's seen Oliver Wood and Neville carry his brother into the Great Hall. Dennis had hugged him and cried and held him close and then he was here, in the woods. A nights sleep against a log in the woods hadn't put him home, with his brother and able to see the end of the battle or able to go back home and see their Mum and Da. Those hours had made Colin different. But maybe that was what death did to someone. Because, Dennis still thought it was possible that they were all dead, and just converged on this place where the dead came.
But that wasn't Colin. Colin wasn't that tall.
So, Dennis remained quiet, sliding back into the chair he was sitting on, just staring at the man who was pretending to be his brother. If it was true that Dennis wasn't dead, then that wasn't his brother. If he was dead, then he really wasn't sure what to think. Except that he missed his parents and wished he could have seen them again.
