Title: Innocent Ideas

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: Well, a second chapter late at night? Why not?
Petunia was a different person these days.
She didn't like to talk about her younger sister. She didn't like seeing the photos that were plastered on the walls, a cruel reminder of greater and better days, and she hated it when Lily sent those awful photos that had people moving in them. She despised them.
And when people inquired where the youngest of the Evans went, Petunia merely shrugged and just mentioned a boarding school up north. It was impossible to twist Lily's personality into one that needed to be reformed of any sort. Lily was no trouble maker and pretending that she went to a school for those needed strict enforcement or for severe maladies was out of the question.
So Petunia took her cold revenge when Harry went to school, for at last she could tell people just how weird her younger sister truly was. Look at what freak her son is, despite the efforts of Petunia and Vernon… and while it felt like it was a stab in the back of her dead younger sister, there was always a relishing feeling of satisfaction underneath it all.
