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: I love those reviews! Second and last chapter for the night!
The day that Lily Evans got her letter; there was a lot of noise and excitement.
Lily jumped and ran around a lot. She gave out hugs that squeezed the life out of her parents and sister and Severus. Her parents had 'confused' all over their faces as they read the letters, and then there was the knot of denial in their voices. Of course, Lily was able to persuade them and tell them that it was all real and not a joke.
And then the denial went into shock and surprise. Mrs. Evans kept spluttering over her drink. Mr. Evans kept rubbing the temple of his head with his fingers.
After a few hours and a few more letters from Hogwarts, the Evans were convinced that they had a witch for a daughter and wasn't that fabulous? Wasn't that great? Wasn't that wonderful? And they started hugging Lily very tightly.
Mrs. Evans started to cry and Lily felt hot and embarrassed for her mother. After all, she was old enough to do a lot of things by herself, liking going to the pool and the cinema without an adult; going to school far way was the next (natural) step in her mind.
Mr. Evans kept on beaming; his face looked like it would split in two with all the smiles. He joined in with his wife with the hugging but stopped after the first one as it was incredibly exhausting for him to keep up with Lily's energy.
Petunia left the house when she first she saw the opened letter in the hallway and didn't come back for hours.
