A/N: For the Character Diversity Boot Camp. Character: Colin Creevey. Prompt: Magical.
Colin had known that he was different from everyone else. He had done things that no other child he knew did; at least he thought so at the time.
When he found out that he was part of a hidden society, he had been shocked; and excited. He wondered what magical things would be out there waiting for him to explore, though he did feel for his younger brother Dennis, because at the time nobody knew that Dennis was also a Wizard.
Going to Hogsmeade for the first time was the most amazing moment in his young life; at that time. It was like he couldn't get enough of it, couldn't see enough of it. He wanted more; wanted to see and experience more of this world that up until now; he had no idea existed.
It was thrilling to see Hogwarts for the first time, it was like something out of a fairy tale but better. It was a beautiful castle; and he wanted to know every nook and cranny of it.
He brought his camera to Hogwarts, because he wanted to show this place to his parents and younger brother, to get them to see just how wonderful and magical Hogwarts was.
When he found out that his camera wouldn't work at Hogwarts because it wasn't magic immune; yet he asked the Charms Professor; Professor Flitwick if he could enhance the camera's magical ability. When he did it Colin was so unbelievably happy.
Even when a couple of years later, Dennis ended up being a Wizard as well, Colin continued to take pictures of the place and of the people as well. Simply because he loved taking pictures of people and things.
A couple of years before he found out about the Wizarding World; his grandfather had been the one to give him the camera, he took it everywhere he went from then on.
He would take pictures of embarrassing things that happened to other people; or sweet things that happened, or just about anything in between.
When he was buried, Dennis figured that it would make perfect sense to put the camera in Colin's coffin, which he did; right beside his body.
