The young Gryffindor abruptly turned towards the sound of Ashley’s voice, stopping him in his trek towards the aforementioned tutoring session. It wasn’t like he needed the help, he was already so talented for a Muggle-born, but it never hurt to want to improve. There was a light blush dusting his cheeks as he approached Ashley who smiled straight at him. The aftereffect was instantaneous. Colin reddened tremendously, though he managed not to stumble over his words in his haste to greet Ashley. Despite his bordering-on-obsessive feelings towards her, they’d gotten to know each other well enough to be considered friends. He was quite easy to talk to and they had their shared love for photography to bond over.
