  For a background character that gets practically no love, I think this may well be Colin Creevey's biggest day in the sun.
  
  Be that as it may, the last line sort of sums up my feelings. I don't care who else is in the story, or how badly they have it. In my mind, Harry's the underdog. I root for the underdog.
  
  Go Harry.

  Author's response

  - I've long thought that Colin got the dirty end of the stick both from canon and fanon, and this was long before JKR killed him in DH.
  
  - So it was sort of a karmic duty to get him laid by all the hot girls at Hogwarts.
  
  - The whole meta-joke with Harry was just his realizing that he was the hero of the series, so anything that moved the focus of the story from him to someone else was a disturbance to the force...
  
  - As is probably obvious, I write to amuse myself...

  That's just not right, man. Creevey shouldn't be getting that much love. It's just not right! If it were Harry, it'd be different, but...
  
  Bad Clell! Bad!

  - Hey, Colin deserves a little love too...

  Howls of delighted laughter! (esp since I've used 'GayColin!' so often in my own fics)

  Author's response

  - I had a friend in High School that 'everyone' knew was gay. It was truly depressing how many girls tried to 'cure' him.
  
  - To this day I remember the day that a mutual female friend told me she had 'made David a man', and the look on her face when I told her that he was running a string of girls all bent on curing him.

  -snicker- Oh, that was funny. I love the way Colin played with their prejudices and such. I love the approach Harry took to the whole thing, too. I have to wonder how many other pics he'll request.

  After all this time, I still find this story amusing. I hope you try to amuse yourself more often.

  Why is it so amusing to read about Creevy getting laid? The world may never know.
