Colin wasn't too fond of being a ghost. Actually he was quite surprised that he had died. He hadn't expected to. He was only sixteen. Did his dad know? Was he okay? How about Dennis?
He was relieved to see that his brother was back at Hogwarts the following term. Alive. Sad. But alive. That was what mattered.
Being a ghost was boring. He thought. He couldn't talk for some reason or be seen. He watched. He saw way too many students masturbate in their dorms. Colin really missed touching things and taking photographs. The normal day to day things.
