Rose and Lily were giggling in the corner. It was Christmas time, and all of the Weasley clan was gathered together to celebrate the holiday. Harry looked over at the two girls in the corner and smiled. The girls were up to no good and he knew it.

“You can’t tell anyone, ok?” Rose whispered to her younger cousin. “Uncle George is the only one who can know”.

“Ok,” Lily breathed back.

“Promise?”

“Promise”

The two girls rubbed their noses together, signifying the promise.

The girls are up to something, Harry observed. Eskimo kisses nearly always meant trouble.

“Daddy, tell me a story!”

Ron had the wind knocked out of him as his eldest child vaulted into his lap, demanding a bedtime tale. He was a terrible storyteller, but she was insistent and Hermione was working late, so...

“Once upon a time, a little girl had a daddy who —” he swung her in the air and rubbed their noses together, “— loved her a bunch, but she wouldn’t go to bed when she was supposed to.”

With a giggle and a squeal, Rose bounced up and. “I like her.”

To himself, Ron grumbled, “I’ll say you do.”

George laid Roxie in the cot and brushed his nose against hers in a little kiss. He could have sworn his daughter smiled in her sleep, a little crooked smile that looked so familiar. He smiled too, his grin matching hers.

“What do you know? She has my smile!”

He felt a hand on his back and turned.

Angelina gazed lovingly into the cot. “Yeah, she does.”

“We’re in for a world of trouble if she got anything else from me!”

“I like trouble,” she said with the cheeky grin. And she kissed him, using more than just her nose.

‘Look, Lily,’ said James. He’d packed his last few items in his trunk, in prepapation for his first year at Hogwarts, beginning the following day. ‘You’re not a great sister, but I might miss you. A little.’

The seven-year-old’s eyes suddenly filled with tears.

‘No – Lily, I was joking, of course I’ll –’

She had thrown her small arms around him. ‘I’ll miss you so much, James! Write to me every single day, promise?’

‘Well, maybe not every day, but often, all right?’

Lily sniffed. ‘Wish I was going.’

‘Soon, Lily,’ he said, rubbing her nose with his own. ‘Goodnight.’

Nothing could tear Harry from a sound sleep like a nightmare, especially when it was not his own.

James clung to his father, crying. “There was a dragon outside.”

“No,” Harry soothed. “It was just a dream… look.” He carried the boy to the window and they searched together. “No dragons.”

James appeared satisfied, but held tight to Harry, just the same.

Harry brushed noses with his son as he settled him under the covers again. “All right, then?”

Eventually, little hiccups became contented sighs; Harry wiped away the tears from James’ face with his thumb and left the room.

“But you can’t do that, Daddy! It’ll make Mummy sad!”

“Your Mummy won’t mind, honey,” Harry stooped down to get to his daughter’s height, and smiled. “You know Mummy played with the Holyhead Harpies, she’ll be happy that I want to get James involved.”

“Then why don’t you tell her?” Lily began to jump up and down impatiently at her father’s strange logic.

“Because, I want it to be a surprise!” Lily grinned, and Harry bent forward and rubbed his nose against his only daughter’s.

“Daddy!” she squealed happily, enjoying the attention. Suddenly asked, “Can I have a broomstick too?”

My bus to CollegeTown in in half-an-hour and yet I'm doing this. Anyway, I couldn't resist it. I had done about five kisses from this challenge the last time and had enjoyed it a lot. However, this time this will be my first and last drabble. I do want to write all the other drabbles too, but I can't, because only facebook works for me in college. Anyways...

Ron spooned some cereal and brought it close to Rose’s mouth, but the child backed away.

“Just eat up now, sweetheart,” he sighed, “Come on.”

“Full tummy!” the girl replied, pointing at her stomach.

Ron looked at the serial bowl, wondering how to feed his daughter. Then he had an idea. “If you eat this,” he whispered to Rose, “I’ll buy you chocolate.”

A gleam appeared in Rose’s eyes as she opened her mouth wide. Ron grinned and rubbed his own nose against her tiny, serial-spattered one, making her break into giggles. “Now you got terial on your note, Daddy!”

He woke up to a very familiar body on top of him. “Albus Severus Potter,” a very familiar voice rumbled above him, sing-songing his name, stretching out its syllables as a very familiar nose rubbed itself against his own, one nudge for every syllable of his name.

“Why are you so attached to my name anyway, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy?” he asked, teasingly, giving his boyfriend a few more Eskimo kisses.

Scorpius shrugged, and moved to curl against him. “Maybe because of what it represents. The combination of a crafty, devious Gryffindor, and a Slytherin who restored honor to his house.”

Luna looked up from her notebook to see Pine hovering over her. He watched her scratch her head with her pen yawn. He smiled.

“Is that a customary greeting in your culture?”

“I’ve never believed in formality.”

“How is your book going?”

“Well. I’m editing my notes on courtship practices.”

Pine grinned. “Would you like some reminders?”

“All right, tell me what you know.”

Pine knelt down and gently placed his forehead against hers. Their noses pressed together.

“That’s how you greet someone you love.” And he got back up on all four hooves and trotted away from the fire.

Haha, it's been a while, hasn't it. But I couldn't resist the 100 word contests, they take so little time to write.

Anyway, eskimo kisses immediately reminded me of horses, which inspired this. I know Luna's not supposed to become an anthropologist, but given the attitudes towards centaurs someone of her background in magical beasts might be more likely to be given such an assignment. She's still rather young and not married yet, in the backstory to this, and Pine is a bit of a romantic.
