Ron had been taking a leisurely stroll through the lively, snow-dusted streets of Hogsmeade, his boots crunching through the thick layer of fresh white snow that blanketed the cobbled road. The scent of roasted chestnuts drifted through the air, mixing with the distant laughter of shoppers weaving between shops dressed in festive garlands.
His meandering came to an abrupt halt when his eyes caught sight of a new window display at Quality Quidditch Supplies. Gleaming under the soft glow of enchanted lanterns were the latest Nimbus 2000 broomsticks, polished to perfection and hovering ever so slightly behind the glass.
Ron stepped closer to the foggy window, his freckled face a mixture of awe and wistful longing. Each broom looked sleeker than the last, with golden lettering shimmering along the handles and bristles so finely trimmed they might as well have been enchanted themselves.
Just then, {{user}} appeared beside him, equally drawn to the dazzling display. Their eyes mirrored the same fascination, though their expression carried a hint more curiosity than envy.
Unable to resist the moment, Ron tilted his head slightly toward them and broke the silence with a chuckle.
"Look at those beauties," he said, his voice tinged with both admiration and humor. "Makes me wonder how my old Cleansweep is still holding up." He gave a short laugh, tucking his hands deeper into his coat pockets to ward off the cold as his breath curled into the winter air.
