Title: Innocent Ideas
Author: Nesma
Summary: It's hard to predict the results of words and actions at such a young age. It's difficult to fathom that an idea formed without much logic or reasons at a young age will carry on through to adulthood. It's terrifying and exhilarating that the ideas and stories from childhood have such curious results in adulthood. And this could be no truer than with the case of Lily and Petunia Evans and Severus Snape.
A/N: These are quite fun to write. Hope people are enjoying these – leave a review to let me know!
He first noticed her on a summer's day when her mother was walking the two girls home from the park. Severus was sitting in the grass, he had a book out and he was hoping that by not playing in the playground he wouldn't attract too much attention.
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" Shouted a voice, Severus looked up from the book, slightly irked that the girls had disturbed his reading.
The girls broke away from their mother, a blonde and red haired girl, and started sprinting very fast towards the edge of the park. The blonde one was winning easily, her limbs were long while the red haired girl were shorter. Both panting, it was clear that the blonde one thought she was going to win. It was then, that the red hair did something extraordinary, something a muggle could never do.
She took a leap, sailed over her sister and landed gracefully enough to keep running. The blonde girl started to shout something about cheating while the mother, who was only a ways away, let her jaw drop.
Severus let his book shut closed. There was no way… was the red head a witch? Was there another magical family in the neighborhood?
"LILY EVANS. YOU MARCH HERE THIS ISTANCE." The mother shouted; her face flushed red as Lily came sprinting back, just not as enthusiastically as before. The mother crouched down and was waving a finger around; she was clearly not pleased with her daughter's antics.
Severus smiled. Perhaps, perhaps there was hope for him after all.
