Then he says, “You should have listened to me. They stand in the drawing room for a long, agonising moment, Draco’s eyebrows raised, arms crossed over his chest. All the questions he thought he had seem so unimportant. When they’re finally permitted to return to the Manor, when they’re finally alone, Scorpius finds he has nothing at all to say. Draco is so openly bemused that Scorpius nearly laughs out loud, except nothing about this situation makes it the right time to laugh, and he ends up coughing into his elbow again. Scorpius is so thrown by this attempt at regular human conversation that he ends up explaining, in unnecessary detail, the workings of a franking machine, which leads into an explanation of the Muggle postal service and stamps and letterboxes and envelopes. Sometimes people come and ask them questions. They’re informed that a team has been sent to the Manor to pick up Lucius their requests to go home and check on Narcissa are denied.

This root reminds us that the practice of colonialism usually involved the transfer of population to a new territory, where the arrivals lived as permanent settlers while maintaining political allegiance to their country of origin.
The term colony comes from the Latin word colonus, meaning farmer. The etymology of the two terms, however, provides some clues about how they differ.

One of the difficulties in defining colonialism is that it is hard to distinguish it from imperialism.
