A/N: Hi! Well I hope you enjoy these little drabbles...this is going to be just a bunch of stories. I decided I would just dedicate a story to all the little stories I wish to write. Enjoy and please review! :-) :-D :-P. Small background on this story. I believe that Rose becomes friends with Scorpio, but at first they hate each other with a deep passion. I like to stick to what JKR has written.

Snapshots: Family is like Family

The sun was nearly behind the mountains on a cold November night. Hugo Weasley made his way across the courtyard of Hogwarts to the small wooden hut that stood at the edge of the forest. James, Albus, and Lily were already sitting inside talking with Hagrid when he arrived.

"Ello Hugo!" Hagrid said excitedly. "How's yeh week been?"

"Oh, it's been fine. A bit boring. They certainly like to pile on the homework." Hugo replied

"Ha, tell me about it!" James murmured.

Hugo just looked at James skeptically. James was not the one to do homework.

Hagrid's hut smelled of burning coal, pine, and various odors no one could actually define. The four were all crushed around Hagrid's wooden table. It was a wonder anyone could fit in it.

"God I hate him!" Rose shouted. She burst through Hagrid's door throwing her books near the steps and viciously pulling a chair up to the table.

"Ah, good to see you, oh loving sister." Hugo snickered.

"Would you shut it for once." Rose growled at him.

"Why are you so upset?" Lily asked. Throwing an arm around her friend.

"It's that blasted Malfoy. He's such a jerk! Making fun of us Weasley's and such. Pushing my books around." Rose explained.

Albus looked extremely concerned for Rose, but was afraid to even make eye contact with Scorpio Malfoy. James just smirked.

"Why don't you just punch him Rosie?" James suggested.

"You know my parents would have a full on fit if I did that."

Hagrid seemed to find this discussion very amusing

"When yeh parent's were back in school they had quiet the fight with Draco Malfoy, his father. Made Ron throw up slugs!" Hagrid chuckled.

James and Hugo bursted into laughter, but Rose, Lily, and Albus seemed to think this fact was gross.

After having tea with Hagrid the five left and set across the campus pulling their scarves close to their necks. Scorpio stood near the archway. His sleek white blonde hair was falling out of the perfect slick it had; resting on his face.

"Well, well, what do we have here." Scorpio called. "The famous Potter's and the side kick, Weasley's.

"Shut it leech." Lily barked at him.

"Uh-oh the youngest Potter is getting testy. Young girls like you shouldn't be getting involved." murmured one of Scorpio's friends.

"Back away from my sister. Now." James said. He drew his wand pointing it directly at Scorpio's face. His was cool and collected, but Scorpio knew not to mess with Potter.

Scorpio bit his lip. James Potter was the only one he was really afraid of. A single threat and it had him running. He was a year older and was tall for his age. His deep green eyes crackled with electricity.

"Come on guys. These losers aren't worth wasting time." Scorpio growled and his friends quickly followed after him.

James tucked his wand back in his coat pocket and they proceeded back inside the castle. They were all silent. It was obvious James had lost his temper and no one dared to make it resurface.

Finally that night in the common room Hugo finally said something.

"I'm really sick of stupid Malfoy. Next time he gets in our face I say we give him a piece of our mind." Hugo announced. "What do you say, James."

"I'm with you kid." James replied.

"You're both idiots and you're going to get yourselves into trouble. I'll have no part in it." Rose said.

"I think Rose is right. You could get into a lot of trouble!" Albus squeaked.

"Well I think it's a good idea! I can't wait to give him a good slap across the face." Lily said.

"You will not!" James said to her.

She was about to protest, but decided this was her first year at Hogwarts and she would rather not have the risk of being expelled.

James and Hugo waited weeks for Scorpio to provoke them, but nothing happened.

"God! Come on you two! Let's go!" Rose shouted from the steps of the boys dormitory.

"We're coming! Hold your wand!" Hugo shouted running down the stairs; James on his tail.

The three ran across the castle on their way to breakfast when Rose smashed into Scorpio; sending him flying to the ground. She froze when she say who she had hit.

"Oh...I'm really sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going. Sorry." Rose mumbled.

"Stupid girl!" Shouted one of his friends.

"Weren't watching where you were going! Ha!" Scorpio laughed.

Hugo looked over to James. If Malfoy went any further they were going to get involved.

"Hmm...my father tells me the Weasley's were not the most well of wizarding family back in his day." Scorpio smirked.

"Doesn't matter how much money you have. It matters where your heart is. I'm sorry for bumping into you." Rose huffed and she began to walk into the great hall.

"You know her Mum's a mudblood." Scorpio said in a matter-of-fact tone to his friends.

His friends laughed at this, but Rose stopped dead in her tracks and James and Hugo looked up suddenly.

"Shut it. You'll say nothing of the sort about my mother." Hugo growled.

"What you gon-." Malfoy said, but was cut off by a punch.

Hugo wheeled around, drew his right hand, and threw a direct punch right at his jaw. Scorpio went flying to the ground his mouth now bleeding. They all stood there shocked. Scorpio's friends looked up at Hugo and James and then back to Scorpio.

"Why you little!" Roared one of the boy's.

Malfoy's two other friend's ran at Hugo. James and Hugo ran toward them breaking out into a fight.

"No stop!" cried Rose. She ran trying to pull her cousin and brother away.

"What is going on here!" Shouted an angry Professor McGonagall. "Potter? Weasley? ! Dear god what has happened here. Potter, Weasley I want you in my office now. Mr. Raflol and Mr. Zacini detention this Friday. Please take Mr. Malfoy to the Hospital Wing."

Rose gave them a "I told you so look" and hurried off into the hall.

"Violence! Out of a Gryffindor no less. I'm disappointed with you both. I don't want to know your reasons for this. Your parents have been notified and I expect they will be arriving soon." Professor McGonagall said and then dashed out of the room.

"Bloody hell." Hugo murmured. "We're in for it."

"Your in for it." James smiled.

"What?" Hugo gasped.

"My Mum and Dad are not around. Dad's on a mission according to the last letter I received and Mum's gone off to report on some Quidditch match in Bulgaria.. I expect your Dad's with mine."

"I hate you," Hugo moaned. "I would rather have my Dad come."

But just as he said it the door flew open and Hermione stormed through it.

"Good luck." James whispered. He inched away from Hugo and stood ready to watch the show.

"Where do you think you're going Mr. Potter!" Hermione yelled. Your mother said I can give you a word about your recent behavior.

James cringed.

"What on earth made you do this! I can't believe you! This is totally unacceptable behavior. Honestly Hugo! Your father and I have taught you better. I don't care if he was a Malfoy or a Slytherin! Your going to have quite the bit of work when you arrive home. And wands won't work!" Hermione yelled at them.

She went on like this for several more minutes.

She sighed. "Now go clean up and get that cut checked out, James."

"Bye Aunt Hermione." James called and headed for the Hospital Wing. James didn't really seem to mind he had gotten into trouble.

Hugo didn't really care either. As far as he was concerned Malfoy deserved what he got. His mother wouldn't understand it.

"What did make you punch him?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"He always pushes around Rose and he called you a Mudblood." Hugo mumbled. He didn't think this was going to change her mind.

"Oh." She breathed. Her eyes now softening at this. "You were sticking up for us?"

"Yea."

"Well you're still in trouble. But at least you were trying to stick up for us. But I do not commend this behavior." She said.

Hugo just said there.

"Hugo?" She called. "Next time use words they hurt more." She smiled; hugging her son tightly.

Hugo smiled and ran off.

Hermione walked through the familiar corridors of Hogwarts and suddenly remembered that in third year, she, herself had punched Malfoy and Harry and Ron had got into fight with him. Family is like family she thought and walked out of the castle.
