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:Double feature? Why not?


"Why are you looking so nervous?"

Lily tore her gaze away from the train window, the blending of green lands and turned her gaze back to Severus.

"Do you think… do you think she'll be nicer now?" Lily asked timidly.

Severus hung his head. This was one of the many differences between him and Lily. She clung on to hope in cases where it would be better off to let go. And while every fiber of his being wanted to snap that Petunia Evans was probably still a bloody cow and that she was an insufferable person… he couldn't easily break Lily's heart (not yet anyways).

"Maybe" He said, shrugging as Lily peered at him.

"Want to get together next Monday to start some of the potions reading? Or to get some ice cream?"

"Sure." Severus replied, a small smile on his face as Lily just fretted about her sister.
