His hug startled her a little; the only person whoe ver hugged her was Molly, and sometimes Harry. Ginny never hugged her, and she didn't really hug Remus or Sirius. The last man to hug her had been Caradoc, and that had been because she was holding her after she nearly had a panick attack getting out of the Ministry, and had been more of a protective embrace than anythin else.
So a hug that was purely for comforts sake was a little foreign, and made her stiffen involuntarily. She blinked a little and turned her head to look at him, but managed a small smile, "Thanks. I'll try my best. I... I owe her that much."
