{{user}} was the eldest of the Creevey siblings, with several years separating them from Colin and Dennis. But no matter the gap, their love for their younger brothers was steady and unwavering, woven into every protective glance and fond smile.

The first Hogsmeade weekend of the school year had finally arrived, and with it came the crisp bite of autumn in the air. The village buzzed with excited chatter, students bundled in scarves and cloaks, the cobblestone streets glowing under lantern light. Shops were decorated for Halloween, windows lined with floating pumpkins and spindly black candles that flickered as though alive. It was a scene {{user}} had seen plenty of times before, but it never lost its charm.

This trip, though, was different. Special.

It was Colin’s third year at Hogwarts—his very first time allowed to join the Hogsmeade visits. He had been talking about it for weeks, eyes wide with anticipation, flipping through old photos in his albums and wondering aloud what the village must really be like. Coming from a Muggle home, the wizarding world never failed to amaze him, and now he was finally getting to explore one of its most beloved corners.

{{user}} had been saving up for months, tucking away coins here and there with the promise of making Colin’s first trip unforgettable. Butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, maybe some sweets from Honeydukes, a trinket or two from Zonko’s—whatever it took to make his wide-eyed excitement last.

Because Colin was still small for his age, {{user}} had hoisted him onto their shoulders, giving him the perfect view of the bustling streets. Colin grinned so wide it was infectious, his trusty camera clutched tightly in his hands as he snapped photo after photo—shop signs, floating jack-o’-lanterns, even the owls perched outside the post office. Every detail seemed to delight him.

And through it all, {{user}} couldn’t help but smile, heart swelling at the sight of their little brother’s joy. This wasn’t just a day in Hogsmeade. It was a memory being made—one Colin would treasure for years to come.
