Character: Hugo, Rose (family). Prompt: "hat, nose, drink"
Requested by they say that i'm crazy
It was an average day in the Weasley household.
"MUM!"
"MUUUMMMMYYYYY!
Hermione sighed as she heard the stamping of little feet (whoever coined the phrase "pitter-patter"...). She dismissed the thought of it and knelt down alongside her two children, both impetuous, red-headed and stubborn. None of which they certainly got from her!
"What is it? Rose? Hugo?"
Hugo, looking sulky and very much in need of a nap (or as Hugo insisted it was a "microsleep") opened his mouth to complain, but it was his older (and smartest and most beautiful and taller) sister who beat him too it.
"Hughie said my hair was ugly!"
"No, I didn't!" Hugo clamored. "I said distressing. It's all full of nargles."
"Snarls," Hermione corrected. "No, it isn't, Hugo! You should know better to say something mean. Rose has lovely hair, like Mummy and Daddy's." Rose's face brightened. Her hair was...noticeable at the least. She had inherited the Weasley's red hair and the genes had merged to create a rather bushy and bulky mane much like how her own had been.
"Hugo said I should wear a hat to cover it." Rose added.
"That's because you said I should wear a scarf!" Hugo shot back.
Now Hermione was puzzled. "A scarf? Why, Rose..."
"To cover up his nose." Rose answered promptly.
Hermione almost had to choke at that response. Hugo, her darling son, had his father's nose for sure. Including a smudge of dirt.
"Hugo has Daddy's nose. I love Daddy's nose...but not with dirt on it. Come here, Hugo."
"Hugo said it first." Rose contended.
"You did."
"I did not."
"You did too."
"Not!"
"Why don't you two put on your hat and scarf?" Hermione broke in. "Coats and mittens too. Go play in the snow awhile and when you finished, we can make hot cocoa."
Once both children were out and bundled to cover hair and nose from the cold, shrieking with laughter in the January sun, Hermione had to smile wistfully. Even the daily arguments between Ron and Hermione and now their children was worth it for moments like these.
