   Summary

   Not quite the beginning, but definitely a beginning.

   Hope is a dangerous, cruel thing.
   It is not beautiful.
   It is terrible, and it lies to you, while looking ever so pretty and fragile.

   In which Severus remembers the day that he started lying for people other than himself, and, in the same breath, damned himself to heartbreak and sorrow with nothing but pure intentions and white lies.
