Hugs.

Blurb ...

A happy hug, a sad hug, or hugging someone tall. You may not even need a hug, but any is the best hug of all. :Series of hug-related oneshots RHr HG and others DH spoilers:

CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN: The TackleHug.

February, 2012.

Rose was bored. Normally, she had her cousin, Albus to play with. But sometimes, he and his family went off to the muggle village they lived in (It was weird that they could live among the people of Godric's Hollow, and not get burned for witch craft).

Rose wanted to go with them, but she had had a cold three days ago. Yes, Rose's mother could be rather health conscious. As a result, she wasn't allowed to go out and play. She was 6-year's-old already-surely she could play outside without getting another cold?

"I'm sorry Rosie, but it's winter-you could get lost in all that snow outside." Rose's mum said. Rose just folded her arms in a huff. "We could make some pancakes for daddy-you like cooking, don't you?"

"I want to play outside." Rose said stubbornly. Hermione sighed, and got up from where Rose was tucked under a blanket on the couch.

"Why don't you play with Hugo?" She suggested. Rose made a face.

"Mummy, Hugo is only little." Rose told her. "Any games would hurt him."

Hermione sighed. At least her daughter cared about her little brother. When Albus was born, James had not exactly taken to him-in fact, he had locked baby Albus in the laundry.

"All right then, Rosie." Hermione said. "I'll be in the kitchen if you need me."

"Ok, mummy." Rose said.

So … now what? She was so bored. She could watch pellyvision-some muggle thing you could watch stuff on, that was quite amusing-but that would mean getting up. She was too lazy for her own good.

"Rooosie?" Came a voice from the hallway. "Can you play with me?"

It was Hugo-her 4-year-old brother. Rose liked her brother-he was kinder to her than her cousin James, but Hugo could be a bit annoying.

Hugo bounded into the lounge and jumped up onto the couch.

"Rosie?" He asked. "There's a spider in my room-can-can you get it for me?"

Rose sighed. Her daddy didn't like spiders either (that's probably where he got it from-Rose wasn't scared of spiders. She was tough).

"I suppose I can." Rose said. She got up, hoping her mummy wouldn't catch her out of her makeshift bed. She followed her little brother up to his room-the spider was only a little one, and she picked it up calmly.

"See, Hugo?" She said, while her brother whimpered from where he had leapt to safety on his bed. She held out the little spider for him to see. "There's nothing to be scared o-"

Suddenly, the spider swelled unexpectedly. It grew bigger than her hand in about two seconds. Rose panicked and dropped the spider with a shriek. Hugo cried out and Rose leapt up onto the bed next to him.

"Mummy!" Hugo yelled. The spider was still growing-why was it doing that? Rose felt her heart pumping really fast-but she wasn't scared, right? Rosie Weasley wasn't scared of anything-

The spider started crawling towards the bed-it was as big as a dog.

"MUMMY!" She screamed.

Hermione crashed into the room a few seconds later.

"What is it?! Rosie-Hugo-" She spotted the spider with a yell. "How did it-?"

"It was only little before, mummy! I didn't mean to!" Hugo cried, basically jumping into his mother's arms. Hermione caught her son and pulled out her wand-the spider shrank again and she levitated it out the window.

Rose decided it must be safe to get down from the bed and ran to her mum.

"Where did it come from?" Hermione asked.

"It was just in my room." Hugo said, squirming and Hermione put him down. "I was too scared of it-but Rosie picked it up!"

Hugo seemed to forget that it was his mum that got rid of the spider.

"Rosie was really brave, mummy-thank 'oo Rosie!"

Oh no-he was going to hug her-there was one thing Rose couldn't stand about his brother, and that was-

"Rosie is the bravest sister ever!" Hugo ran at her and tackled her to the floor in a kind of tacklehug.

-his hugs.

A/N: I love this hug. Rose and Hugo hadn't gotten a hug, and i was reminded this by Ella Bridi-this hug is for you, along with AquaPika, who gave me the idea for a tacklehug. So no, it isn't a typo that the chapter title didn't have a space in between.

I hope you liked. I hate spiders with every fiber of my being. Consider this the reason Rose also hates spiders. -rolls eyes-
