This may be a really bad idea, given my progress so far on my
list, but I haven't tried drabbling in a while, and it's so much fun. Plus, this week is Spring Break, dangit. So.
Meme borrowed from

Lily woke at dawn, athrill with anticipation. Sev had told her so much about Hogwarts, and she couldn’t wait to explore it for herself.
She found the Great Hall on her own. A few other early risers had already started on breakfast. From the doorway, she scanned faces until she saw the one she knew best.
She went over to him. “Morning, Sev! Do we always eat at our own tables?”
“Talking to Mudbloods, Snape?” drawled an older boy with white-blond hair. The other Slytherins laughed.
Sev looked away.
It seemed he hadn’t told her everything about Hogwarts.

And I know this is supposed to be about Lily, but I really feel for Snape here. He's just a little boy, and a little boy who's lived a very difficult life, to boot. It's not really surprising he fell in with the wrong crowd, is it? Especially not thanks to that kind of segregation built right into the Hogwarts structure.

I'm glad this made you feel for Snape, because I really do. I mean, he made lots of bad decisions, and he was downright nasty to a lot of people (as your Ginny points out!). But he was also in a pretty bad situation from the start, and I agree that it's no surprise that he fell in with the strong kids in his House.
LOL for Anne/Gilbert! But that would work for Lily/James, too, I guess.

But here it goes - I'm so impressed with how much you describe and convey in such a short drabble. Love Lily, but my heart really goes out to Snape here. Can't help but feel very sorry for him, caught between wanting to fit in with young Lucius and his crowd and what is expected of him, and being there for his friend Lily. I want to comfort him and encourage him to do what he knows is right... But it's not that easy for a troubled 11-year-old...
Really nice work!
