Tess Covenshire and the Highcross Scandal

First Year Tess Covenshire is keen to make friends and be a popular girl at Hogwarts. During a tour of the Slytherin common room, Tess discovers a photograph of a boy she has never seen before, who seems to know her. He is delighted to see her, and he calls her Esther. As Tess and her friends learn more about this forgotten Slytherin hero, they draw closer to uncovering a long-buried family secret.

My original idea was to have this be a series called The Witches of Slytherin, which would run parallel to Wren of Hufflepuff. I decided along the way to make it a novel instead. You can consider this a stand-alone novel or as part of Wren of Hufflepuff.This book was originally posted on HarryPotterFanFiction back in 2013 as The Witches of Slytherin. In 2018, I thoroughly re-wrote it and changed the title. This is the 2018 edition with further slight updates and corrections.
