When Petunia was younger and she learned about potions from Lily/Sev she secretly, on multiple occasions, tried mixing together a bunch of random ingredients (or even stole a textbook and tried to follow the instructions with her limited access to the proper tools and ingredients) in the hopes of proving she had some sort of magical ability.
It obviously didn't work.
Cut forward several years when she shares the embarrassing story with Severus, her now-or-eventual boyfriend, who smiles and asks if she wants to assist him in making real potions.
She does.
(Petunia helping him grow ingredients in their garden?? Petunia being his official assistant and opening an apothecary together?? Starting a family and it becoming a family business that spans several generations??)
Petunia: Hey, Severus, what do you think it would be like if we had kids?
Severus: What would it be like? Inconvenient, mostly.
Petunia: No, I mean, what would they be like, the kids? You ever think about it?
Severus: Can't really say I have.
Petunia: You know, for someone as eccentric as yourself, you can be boring as fuck sometimes.
Severus: Sorry, Tunia. For what it's worth, I'm picturing them now. A boy and a girl. Two perfect little freaks of nature raised by people who've clearly got no business bringin' up anybody.
I'm back on my snetunia au where sev and petunia get together and have kids. I've given them a third child because I wanted too, and yes they are naming their kids after flowers because yes :)
Her name is Azalea Evans. She's got long black hair and black eyes like her father. She wears a cross necklace given to her by her godfather. She was born on May 9, 1990. More info on her to come.

snetunia, loosely based off of Pulpβs Babies, for @dementedlollipop. au where, in the aftermath of the Great Friendship Breakup, snape starts to spend more time with another evans, much to the shock of his parents and the gossips of spinners end.
I made two videos using this template one of snily and the other of snetunia.
Here's the snetunia oneπ The one of snily is posted on tik tok, I haven't decided if I'll post this one there too but I may post the one of snily on my slyther-bi acct.
Tulip and Primrose attended Hogwarts for two years before switching to Beauxbatons. This change happened when Severus was offered a job in France and Petunia talked him into taking it.
It was nineteen-eighty and Tuney wouldn't shut up about Lady Diana Spencer. Her clothes and her hair and her poise and how elegant she was and how some people just couldn't help having a short neck.
Lily knew that meant her. Tuney got the lovely long neck and the elegant hands and the slender feet and ankles of Dad's mother. Magic was better than any of that, Lily knew, but just once she'd like to be the one who could pull off a Diana lookalike style.
And to make everything even worse, HE agreed with everything Tuney said.
Snape. Bloody Snape. Tuney got the elegant features and stole him, too. It was enough to make anyone sick, as Jamie said.
And they had to go to dinner that evening. She'd much rather stay in her own home and entertain Sirius and Remus and Peter than go home for dinner. He'd be there, smirking sardonically from across the table whilst Tuney prattled on about her work and his experiments!
Experiments!
She knew who funded him and his experiments, because Sirius was ever complaining about his grandfather and the Black House Scholar. He'd got everything he ever wanted. The swine.
He didn't have her, though. And she didn't think Tuney would ever be able to announce what she was going to. This time Tuney would be the jealous one.
------------
Lily waited until her roiling stomach settled before she tugged Jamie's arm, pulling him away from the car parked at the curb. He and Sirius had gone mad over automotives after they'd doneβ¦somethingβ¦to a motorbike. She pulled Jamie to the door, nervous excitement replacing the faint nausea apparition caused these days. She knocked briefly before she opened the door and stepped into the house.
Unlike the lovely home she and Jamie had, they practically fell into the front room from the door.
They were there already, Severus looking smug and Petuniaβ¦Petunia wearing maternity clothes and a satisfied glow.
No.
No, they couldn't have.
"Oh, Lily and Jamie, we're so happy you made it. Petunia just shared the most wonderful news!" Mum crossed the room to them, hugging them both. "They're expecting!"
Lily wanted to scream. What had she ever done to deserve such torture?
-------
Petunia smiled to herself, knowing she and Severus would have a good, long laugh later. They didn't even have to do anything to wind her up, just sit there and look happy.
And she was happy, finally, in the strangest way.
Omg this ask did not show up in my notifs, Iβm so sorry π
