Gregory Harper: The Ravenclaw in the West Tower

Gregory Maxwell Harper arrives at Hogwarts carrying forty-seven books, a heavily corrected Potions textbook, and no intention of being impressed by anyone's famous name.

Sorted into Ravenclaw, the brilliant Filipino-British first-year quickly earns the attention of Professor Snape, forms an unlikely friendship with three Gryffindors, and begins a fierce academic rivalry with Liam Alexander Velmont-the arrogant Slytherin heir who cannot tolerate being ignored, corrected, or defeated.

But when a valuable phial of moonstone disappears from Snape's private storeroom, Gregory's unusual access makes him the most convenient suspect. Determined to clear his name, he follows a trail of stolen ingredients, metallic feathers, and strange tapping sounds through the hidden spaces inside Hogwarts.

The clues lead toward the long-sealed West Tower, where an enchanted brass raven continues obeying the final command of a master who has been dead for decades. Behind the tower's locked doors waits an abandoned alchemy laboratory, an unfinished potion, and memories that were never meant to survive.

To escape, Gregory may have to trust the one person he dislikes most.

Unfortunately, Liam Velmont would rather compete with him.
