Author's Note: So i decided to write Hugo next.

Hugo's a Beater, James is Gryffindor Quidditch captain and Lily is Hugo's favourite sister.

This is going to be the last chapter though :(

- A Creature Of The Dark

Hugo felt like lying back and dozing off with his patronus. And he did exactly that.

A Christmas at the Burrow had resulted in the game of Truth or Dare at night after dinner.

All the cousins had crowded in the largest room available which happened to be their Uncle Charlie's.

They all sat on the floor and started the game and were having a fun time with occasional chicken dances, colored hair, puking pastilles, steaming ears and some serious confessions.

Hugo's turn came, he chose Dare and his sister, Rose, looked at him straight in the eye. Rose was what you would call a pushy sister. She badgered him to finish his homework, or clean his room or just pester him in general.

But Hugo didn't like it. What he liked was to lay back and do things in his own time, and it wasn't that he was lazy; it was just because he moved slowly and didn't like to do things in a rush.

So when Rose looked at him challengingly, he knew he had to do something that would push him to his limits. A voice in the back of his mind hinted something from his previous year at Hogwarts and how Rose had fanned over her patronus and had unleashed the fury of the parrot upon him when he had refused to pack his trunk beforehand.

"Hugo, brother, remember the patronus charm I told that I would teach you?" Rose cooed in a false sweet voice.

Hugo gulped. Uh-oh.

"Y-yes," he couldn't help his voice from wavering. Merlin, he couldn't do it!

The others were looking at the siblings with amusement, not missing the challenges Rose presented to Hugo with her stare.

It was Lily who broke the tension.

"Rosie, just get on with it," Lily looked at Hugo reassuringly. Thank you, Lils – his eyes seemed to say, Or else the tension would have killed me.

"Yup. I dare you, Hugo, to produce a full. Corporeal. Patronus."

The cousins let out gasps and chokes.

Only Teddy, James, Victoire and Rose were able to produce patronuses yet. And they did it when they were in their seventh years. Albus did it in his sixth and it was an exceptional feat. Hugo was nowhere nearly as efficient as him.

But it was a challenge and Gryffindors never backed down from challenges. If anybody looked at Hugo in the eye at that moment, they would see fierce determination raging.

Hugo just nodded curtly, stood up, headed out in the backyard, and pulled out his wand. He was not of age, yes, but Grandpa Arthur had put on some spells around the Burrow to avoid detection of underage magic. How he did it was a mystery, though.

A few adults were still in there and looked up at the redhead who had burst through the door suddenly. Hugo avoided their surprised looks and scrunched up his eyebrows. He recalled his Quidditch trials in his second year where he had tried for the place of a Beater alongside his cousin, Fred.

He had swung his bat like there was no tomorrow, even managed to almost hit Fred, who deflected it barely. He successfully knocked down dummies and gave the experienced Chasers a time that would surely make it to their list of My Hardest Times.

He had landed on the ground of the pitch with glee, and had sauntered over to James, their Captain. James looked at him questioningly with his eyes that were wide at the outburst of strength from his rather docile cousin.

Hugo just shook his head and looked around as if he wanted to smash more things.

A few days later when he got in the team, he had written a letter to his father. In return he got a box of his favourite Honeydukes sweets and a huge letter in which his dad expressed his humungous pleasure at Hugo's Quidditch skills.

In terms of the game, Hugo had always looked up to his father and him being happy and Hugo's dream of making it into the team and being from the 'lazy arse' to the 'hardworking strong Beater' had lifted his mood so much that he couldn't stop grinning till days after.

The grin covered his face again as he stood in the backyard among a mass of redheads like himself staring at him and Hugo raised his wand high in the air and shouted, "Expecto Patronum!"

A thick sliver of light emerged from his wand and landed on the ground. Big, innocent eyes stared up at him, with thick arms and thick everything.

The giant panda was sitting dumbly on the ground looking up at Hugo with cute little eyes. It stood on his four legs slowly, trudged to Hugo's feet, nuzzled him softly and made its way inside the Burrow. Hugo just glanced around and pushed his cousins away for the panda to walk without obstacles and followed it.

Slowly but surely, it went into the living room, climbed up the sofa, waited for Hugo to come and sit with him, and then crashed on his chest.

After Hugo recovered from the initial shock, he heard light snoring from the big ball of fur from his chest. He could almost feel the soft hair, and the snoring must have been affecting him or he was tired in general because Hugo yawned.

Meanwhile, every Weasley and Potter and a Lupin were staring at him with wide eyes. They blinked in synchronization when they heard giggling and all turned to the side together in scary sync to see Lily clutching her stomach while she burst with giggles. At their looks she stopped but started hiccupping.

"Hic- that's so-hic- sweet and-hic- cute. Hugo-hic- the panda-hic- is like you. It –hic- fits-hic."

"Lily, drink some water and go to bed. Every one of you, go and sleep. It's pretty late. And Hugo! Don't daze off in the sofa. You should go to bed uh," Ginny Weasley didn't actually know how he could get up with a panda on top.

But it faded away as Hugo's consciousness did. And he still had a silly smile on.
