Disclaimer: Fanfiction, last time I checked. Let me break it down- FAN FICTION.
Being a squib in an old pureblood family she knew what it was to be hated and shunned for something she was born without. For most of her life she was ignored, cared for ,mind you,( it would never do for the other families to know that she wasn't.) ,perhaps her parents thought that if they ignored her then someday she would just disappear.
So, she did.
For that was what was required of her, expected of her-and although she didn't have magic she was bred to be a dutiful pureblood(squib) girl.
Nobody ever came looking for the thirteen-year-old girl that ran away.
She was asked to baby sit Petunia and Lily Evans many a time. Their parents would usually work late hours and often the children would stay over at her place. She didn't mind. She loved children as a rule,-something to do with the way they accepted you for who you were- and in many ways Petunia and Lily reminded her of the relationship she had shared with her sisters.
Seven year old Lily followed her "big" sister Petunia nearly everywhere. Petunia was very imaginative and would often come up with ridiculous stories about adventures with pirates, fairies, princes, princesses and, of course, Magic. Little Lily's green eyes would grow huge with wonder and excitement and she'd clap her hands with glee, often enacting aforementioned adventures with her sister.
It was obvious that Petunia loved her sister ,in fact, she was quite protective of her. Maybe, she was aware at some level that Lily was special, charismatic, people were drawn to her little sister in a way that they would never be drawn to her. Petunia didn't mind ,one could even go as far to say ,that she enjoyed it(took pride in her?). For whatever else happened she knew that in a way she had claimed Lily ,if only by being the elder sister, Lily was hers.
Petunia's world was perfect as long as Lily looked up to her "big" sister.
And for a very long time Lily did. The Evans sisters were rarely, if ever introduced to their peers and it was quite by accident that they came across the scruffy 'Snape' boy.
