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: Hi! Training is long and rough and often I want to drop on my bed after the day is over. Hopefully things are slowing down. Thanks for sticking with the story. Let me know what you think with a review!
Lucius Malfoy was damn proud at where he sat. He was sitting at the Slytherin table with a prefect's badge on his chest, glinting slightly with every candle light. His sleek blonde hair was tucked neatly underneath his wizarding hat; a smile of pride was playing on his lips.
He always loved watching the sorting hat; though he'll never admit if you ask, not even if you do it nicely. He enjoyed giving looks of disgust and rolling his eyes at anyone not sorted into Slytherin.
In his eyes, Slytherin was clearly the superior house. Where else would you find such ambitious people? Slytherins tended to have connections with the right sort of people; Slytherins often had something to prove (like an impressive or not at all impressive family name). They'll do anything to demonstrate their abilities; even if that means stabbing someone in the back.
They are loyal to no one but themselves. They are brave when they have to be for self-preservations. They are smart for they alone know who to associate with and how to charm the pants off of someone. Slytherins clearly know what's best for the wizarding world.
Lucius truly believed that nothing could go wrong as long as a wizard or witch was associated with the purebloods for they will rule the wizarding world one day.
Perhaps if he knew the terror this idea would lead for his family, his own blood and skin, he would have not been so eager at a young age. Perhaps, he would have not put so much effort to charm young Severus as he joined the Slytherin table. Perhaps, Lucius Malfoy would have not even joined the Death Eaters. And then the domino effect that caused almost too much pain and catastrophe could have been stopped.
