Colin tilted his head as Zach explained what he had been doing at work. Just reading? That sounded a bit boring. He didn't think he could focus on reading for an entire work day. "You were reading? Why would you blow yourself up?" He blinked, not precisely liking the idea. "I would just be worried. I wouldn't get upset."
He smiled a little as Zach started to name people who were going. "Oh. Yes. I think I remember him. I think I have pictures. He looks very smart if it is who I think it is. Is he very smart?" He watched Zach quietly for a moment. "Hannah? I like Hannah. I hope she comes to your Hufflepuff party. Justin talked to Neville, I think...at some point." He hummed softly. "Neville and Hannah are safe."
Colin took notice of the change in Zach's expression and he lowered his gaze. "I know," he said quietly, moving closer to him. "But we have your books now, so we can practice and we're practicing dueling and everything." He looked up at him after a moment, wrapping his arms around him. "I'll be really careful. I swear."
