Maia Riddle always knew she was different. For starters, she was raised by her mysterious aunt, and she was never told what happened to her parents, or the rest of her family for that matter. Then, a month after her tenth birthday, she learns the truth of her heritage. She's a witch, descended from the greats themselves. But she's in hiding, because both her father and grandfather are known murderers, as bad as they can come. However, she's the only one who knows of his innocence, and it's up to her to prove it. But first she must learn to navigate her new school, and the dangers within, before evil overcomes them all. *** This is a Harry Potter fanfiction. I only own Maia, and her unique twists to the storyline. The rest belongs to J.K. Rowling. *** Book 1 of the Parseltongue Heiress Series
