COMMENTS
The hyper-Wiener index of a connected graph is (1/2)*Sum [d(i,j)+d(i,j)^2], where d(i,j) is the distance between the vertices i and j and summation is over all unordered pairs of vertices (i,j).
The Wiener index is in A143366.
The Wiener polynomials for n=1,2,3,4,5 are given in A214581.

FORMULA
a(n) = (1/10)n +(17/15)n^2 -3n^3 -(55/6)n^4 +(82/5)n^5 +(548/15)n^6.
G.f. = 3*x*(14 +801*x +3936*x^2 +3482*x^3 +530*x^4 +5*x^5)/(1-x)^7.
EXAMPLE
a(1)=42: for n=1 we have a hexagon; the distances are: 1 (6 times), 2 (6 times), 3 (3 times). Then a(1)=(1/2)*(6*1+6*2+3*3+6*1+6*4+3*9)=42.
MAPLE
a := proc (n) options operator, arrow: (1/10)*n+(17/15)*n^2-3*n^3-(55/6)*n^4+(82/5)*n^5+(548/15)*n^6 end proc: seq(a(n), n = 1 .. 30);
