abuseI liked this. Especially the part until Dumbledore told him that he truly is "a great wizard". After that, it seems a little rushed. I don't know why, because the end is where it should be, and I can't figure anything out I would've liked to put in there, but anyway. You forgot to give Colin clothes, though XD

abuseFrom a literary standpoint, it's very difficult to write as a character who is in the realm of the dead, because, technically, they no longer have a point of view.

Putting that aside, I like what you've done. You left the afterlife purposefully vague, and used J.K.'s Dumbledore reference as a foundation for your own scene. I respect that, and I think you did a good job.

The opening bit captures Colin well, and as we advance, I think you lose a little of it as you move us into the "action" of your story, with the dialogue. I would advise you to stick with your narration, as it is quite strong in its own right. Dialogue is a necessary evil, though, and it's not that it's bad, but rather that I felt it was missing just a little something. It served your purpose though, and served it well, so don't consider it a failure, by any means!

I see a lot of talent here. Please keep it up, and well done!

abuseYou wrote my suggestion of Colin. Thanks. That was really bitter sweet. I always liked Colin. He was just so eager and happy to please. Good job, once again.

abuseI do so love stories that focus on Colin. And yours is quite a good one. His questions "But then, what kind of Gryffindor would he have been? What kind of wizard? What kind of man?" are remarkably profound. And that last one should be pondered more often by more people.

abuseHow sweet! I like your writing from Colin's point of view, because he is usually seen as an annoying little kid. I also like your writing style. Thanks.

abuseThis is a really unique addition to your series. I like it. :)

I find it interesting that you chose to write about Colin - I was so sad to know that he died. This was really some closure for both character and readers, hm?
