Innocent Ideas

by Nesma

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 reason 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, Petunia, and Severus.

Petunia tried to avoid the house whenever she could.

She went on long walks. She hung out with her friends. She often stayed at the parks until the sun dipped down and she knew her curfew would come quite quickly. But she would trudge home and Lily would be there with the utmost hope on her face. And something would rattle within her.

Perhaps she should give her a chance. A very, very common thought that bounced within her head.

But then she'd see Lily with Severus in town while Petunia was with her friends and it was clear to her that Lily had chosen her path and Petunia had chosen her own.
