Tell Me Lies

Prologue.

Whispers in the corridors, hisses of fragmented questions, back and forth between the students.

"-Have you heard?"

"Who do you reckon it is...?"

They all made her smile, a cruel smirk that twisted the corners of her sweet mouth. They would never suspect her, oh no. They would run blindly in circles, digging up obscure details when what they really wanted was right under their ignorant noses. Oh, and by then it would be too late. She knew.


Tension was at the highest it had ever been inside the walls of the ancient school. Distrust permeated even the thickest of shield and friendships once so pure had been corrupted by suspicion Even the professors felt the strain, seeing their pupils in a whole new light, wondering what the children before them were capable of, where their loyalties lay.

For there was a traitor at Hogwarts, and evil was beginning to gain the upper hand.
