Quinn O'Connell was the pretty girl in pink, the homecoming queen and all-around straight-A student. Most people saw her as uptight, narcissistic but most importantly... They saw her as a control freak with her perfect blonde hair and patronising smirk... Nobody guessed that her perfect life with her pompous mayor step-father was completely different within Forks' richest estate than the prissy golden girl persona she acted out so well. But he saw straight through it... Warning: Sensitive Scenes Disclaimer: I do not own twilight. Rights to twilight belong to the lovely Stephanie Meyer.

Voldemort was going to kill Verita. He was going to murder her brutally, and Severus Snape was going to be the one to create the lie that both saved her life and brought himself into it. Mendacity - an act of lying.

A new school year means a new set of changes at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Severus Snape is introduced to new teacher Professor Kalina Oakblood who will be teaching Herbology as well as assisting Snape and his students for the new year, courtesy of Dumbledore. Argumentative, rude and spiteful are many words that Kalina could use to sum up Severus Snape, a hot-headed and miserable professor who has the longing to make students lives a misery. Sweet, cheerful and reliable are the many words that most people would use to sum up Professor Kalina Oakblood but not everyone is convinced. With a dark secret within and the Chamber of Secrets opening, can Severus and Kalina be prepared to push their problems aside or will it all be too late and their complications hinder their lives? *slow burn*
