A/N: Hi everyone. :) This is, yet another challenge (I think I'm addicted) by Written Sparks where you pick a pairing and do one drabble a day, for 26 days. You get one prompt per drabble per day, and are in alphabetical order, ie., the first prompt could be apple, then bridge, then catastrophe. See the pattern here? There we go.
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Pairing: Lily/Severus
Prompt: ALIBI
His chin rested on the upstairs windowsill. Not daring to look, but listening. Unsure whether to be overjoyed, or terrified.
"So, sir, do you have an alibi? To prove where you were last night? Otherwise you're our chief suspect."
"No. Or, well, my son, but I think he's out. SEVERUS? SEV?"
Only silence came from the upstairs window.
"I'm sorry sir, but that's not good enough."
Severus could hear the loud, decisive footsteps making their way up the driveway, followed by his father's softer, more reluctant ones.
He ducked his head, eyes dry, and retreated to his dimly lit bedroom.
