Title: Innocent Ideas

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: Feeling like a Marauder's mood. Enjoy and review!
Remus Lupin lay wide awake that night. He was too nervous to rustle about as if to break the miracle of going to Hogwarts. For the first time ever he was going to be with kids his own age! He was going to have company other than his parents!
When his father talked about his days in Hogwarts, it sounded like a wonderful place full of happiness and magic and wonder. With all the ghosts and professors and the trick stair cases and there was even a poltergeist named Peeves! And Remus was going to meet him! And there was the sorting hat to think about… and the classes… and the foods to be eaten…
But most of all, he was going to have a place to live for the next seven years. No more moving around from village to village. No more fretting about packing up and leaving because he was going to Hogwarts!
It took several hours, before the dreams of Remus' Lupin lulled him to sleep.
Though Sirius Black and Remus Lupin had rather strong feelings about Hogwarts; Peter Pettigrew and James Potter were not as interesting.
Sure, Peter's and James' parents fed them home cooked meals as a reminder that they had parents that loved them. And of course they were excited, but it was almost a normal excitement that is not worth the breath or energy of documenting. Only that James dreamed of making the Quidditch team within his first week and that Peter dreamt about the food.
I guess it is ironic that James Potter's son achieved his dream without even trying while James' attempt earned him his first detention with Sirius.
