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: Done with training. On to the job though. Reviews are incredibly lovely. So try to leave one if you have time!
Remus felt like he was drowning everyday but not with the school work.
There seemed to be a ticking time bomb hidden in his dormitory as he lay at night, ticking madly as his precious time with being normal slipped away from his desperate hands. He was living with brilliant boys; James Potter had the natural transfiguration ability (earning Gryffindor some points after correctly performing a spell from McGonagall). Sirius Black had the lazy smarts, though he often complained loudly about his private tutors as a child it would appear that he absorbed a lot more than he was willing to admit.
And every time a new moon was coming, the sick and twisted and nauseating feeling came like it did every month but so much worse. Would these boys put it together? Would they expose him? Would they exile him? Would they black mail him? Merlin knows that Remus had already witnessed the bullying they did to Severus Snape. What if Remus became the new Severus? What if he had to leave Hogwarts?
It was a good thing that Remus' secret was eventually discovered by these very boys that Remus feared by their second year, otherwise, there is no doubt that Remus would have drowned in self-doubt and would have choked in fear before he truly lived life.
