Title: Innocent Ideas
Author: Nesma
Disclaimer: I, obviously, do not own Harry Potter or the characters, all that goes to JKRowling.
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: Oh my goodness. Got three reviews last night and it made my day.
"Well, I thought that since the two were going to Hogwarts that it might be appropriate to take them to Diagon Alley together?" Mrs. Evans spluttered on the phone with Mrs. Snape.
There was lofty sigh at the other end, "I have to work on that day though…"
"Well, which day works for you?" Mrs. Evans asked, twisting the telephone cord around her slender fingers.
Another sigh and Mrs. Evans angrily rolled her eyes. She thought it would be nice (and incredibly helpful) to go to Diagon Alley with Mrs. Snape since she would know how to get there. And possibly show her how to get money changed and all those other nit-picky business.
Instead, Mrs. Snape claimed every excuse in the book. When Mrs. Evans pushed her further, she admitted that she was going to let Severus go into London on his own while she ran errands and worked.
"Alright. Well, perhaps I'll invite Severus to come with Lily and me." Mrs. Evans spat out angrily, completely frustrated that she kept running into a brick wall with this lady.
"Oh" Mrs. Snape drawled lazily, "I'm sure he'll come for dear Lily. The way he talks about her…" Mrs. Snape said quite passively.
"Well, they are good friends. I'm sure he'll enjoy the day with us." Mrs. Evans said, defending Severus, which was quite odd considering the circumstances.
At the end, they agreed that Mrs. Evans would take the kids into Diagon Alley the next day and that Severus would meet them at their front step.
After the call, Mrs. Evans kept shaking her head. It's unbelievable how amazing kids came out, despite their parents.
