RP: Evidence Who: Albus Potter and Severus Snape Where: Malfoy Manor When: December 3, 2024 Warnings: none Summary: Armed with written word, Albus attempts to disprove the accusations...
Albus stared at the stack of The Daily Prophets in his hands. They accumulated fast: not quite a week's worth of them yet, but it was close enough. The stack was topped by the most recent copy he borrowed from Ben.
Al did so in his room, quill in hand, gnawing dry coffee, bean after bean, from the bag he usually kept nearby. He needed to maintain his focus for this and his focus didn't fail him: there was absolutely no instances of 'snape' in the paper anywhere, standalone or as part of another word.
In fact, he checked the dictionary just to be sure, there was no instances of longer words containing that combination of letters.
It's been several days and Al's thoroughly-monitored Snape count remained at zero.
Surely, this will be evidence enough.
Albus took a deep breath and knocked on the laboratory door. His hand shook, but, still, he managed his usual sequence of triple bursts.
