—— prologue ——

       they were called the liars. a group of ten hogwarts students of all ages, houses, blood and wealth status, all brought together through their web of lies. happily, brought together through their lies.

       well, happily brought together through their web of lies and connection to ariellis osiris.

       the liars became a family, and they loved each other, both romantically and platonically. their friendships grew like weeds; pushing through the stereotypical norms.

       and the liars were happy.

       until ariel died.

       ariellis osiris's death was labeled an accident, a tragic, heartbreaking accident by the ministry. not a suicide, not a homicide, an accident. no one was held accountable, no one was arrested.

       and so, liar number one, the leader of the pack, ariellis samara osiris was buried, taking her lie along with her.

        but who actually ever believed or accepted that her lie would stay dead? definitely not liars 2 – 10, that's for sure.
