Vagary (First in the Lilah Winters series)

Vagary (n.)
an unpredictable instance, a wandering journey; a whimsical, wild, or unusual idea, desire or action.

Turns out that Hogwarts was nothing like Lilah Winters expected it to be. Between the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that happens to be the Demon King, the group of Royals that refuse to welcome her as one of them, and the recent hypnosis of an innocent magical, her life as a First Year is pretty hectic.

However, a greater evil looms over all the students and the school, a creature that wears the skin of her best friend and terrorizes anyone and everything in its path.

Set to prove her friend's innocence, Lilah teams up with a pair of brooding Slytherins, a shy Ravenclaw, and a joyful Hufflepuff to get to the bottom of this creature's actions and motives. But as time progresses and her group of friends uncover more and more twisted secrets that intertwines everyone's stories together, she realizes that there is a traitor in their mist.
