Ron got his first taste of heaven on his third birthday.
Arthur had gotten a bit of extra coins for working overtime and took the whole family to Hogsmeade for lunch and a bit of shopping. The boys all suggested going to Honeydukes, and Arthur was overruled.
"What're those?" Ron asked the twins, who were each taking handfuls of candy to the checkout counter.
"They're chocolate frogs," Fred said, selecting one from the pile and opening it up in front of his little brother. He snatched up the frog immediately and popped it in Ron's mouth, then held the card out to him. "Every frog's got a card in it."
Ron held the card reverently, gazing down at the image of a man in bright orange robes. "Who is it?"
Percy appeared behind him and read over his shoulder. "It says Tristan Luxum."
"He's was Keeper for the Chudley Cannons in back when they won the World Cup," Charlie commented, passing buy with a few boxes of ice mice.
"Cool," Ron said, never letting his eyes leave the card.
"We'll share them with you," George told him, patting his shoulder. "And you can start collecting the cards."
"We've loads of doubles we can give you," Fred put in.

Late that night, Ron snuck out of bed long after everyone else had gone to bed and crept into Fred and George's room. There wasn't much that could wake the twins once they were in a deep sleep, and Ron knew it. He didn't bother trying to be quiet as he pulled the shoebox of candy out from under Fred's bed.
He took it back to his own room and sat atop his bed, eating the entire contents until his stomach was full and he had started quite the collection of his own cards.
