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: You know the drill – leave a review as they are always so lovely!
Severus couldn't believe his luck. His summer was going brilliantly.
Gone were the days that he hid outdoors under his ridiculous outfits. Forgotten were those days filled with bullies and insults and muggle boys. No longer did he have to stuff his fingers in his ears when his parents were having a roaring battle downstairs.
For the first time, in what seemed like forever in his ten years, he had a friend. A witch! Lily Evans was possibly the greatest thing that came into his life.
Severus now spent the days lounging in the parks with her. Teaching her about the wizarding world: the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts, Houses, and the different candies that the magical community had (Lily had a terrible sweet tooth). He was no longer considered scum or worthless or stupid, for once he had some position of power. He had knowledge to share and someone to debate with. Someone of equal brains and logic and such.
The only thing that clouded his days was Petunia.
Petunia Evans was everything as to why muggles were so much lesser then wizards. She had an instant dislike to anything out of the ordinary yet incredible envy for anything special. She was absolutely horrid with her ugly hair cut and stuck up nose, her personality matched her hideous looks as she always tried to get Lily away from him and to stomp the magic out of her like it was a disease.
She didn't get how it wasn't a choice but rather something that's apart of them. She'll never understand how the magic flow through the veins no matter what nasty insult is hurled at you or how much blood seeps from your injuries. The magic just stays there, and it should be accepted rather than rejected and out casted.
And just as Petunia was quick to judge the wizarding world and look down upon their practices, words, and sights; Severus was just as quick to disregard the magic in the muggle world. And so they hated each other and the worlds the other lived in, causing more friction, injury, and prejudices then they could possibly imagine in their preteen years.
Who would have guessed that a simple hatred for a single person at such a tender age would cause countless people to be tortured, murdered, and even orphan a child?
