These are in fact four one-shots taking part in autumn, winter, spring and summer, multiple areas and multiple settings. The story is put in Astronomy Tower because it's neither long, funny or dark. But the romance is not the main thing (even though it's there if you know where to look)! You will also find strong family ties and deep friendships. Contains no Cursed Child spoilers!

Will they find out her secret?

"His pale, freckled face was lit by the flickering flames and gave his eyes a murky glow. The bright blue, so like Dumbledore’s, was shaded, and no one noticed. Ron was used to it. In a large family, you got used to being overlooked. Being the best friend of the famous Harry Potter, you got used to it. Didn’t mean you had to like it."

On a perfect, almost summer's day, sometimes it is nice to be alone. Harry, Ron and Hermione spend the day alone doing their own thing...

Lupin's Daughter, Sirena, is on the path to destruction... and all Snape can do is watch. This fic is a bit of a prequel to Everything You Are, which is in the process of a complete overhaul.

I figure a man that kind has to have one hate...````But this is the beginning of Sirena Lupin's journey to the world of Dark Magic. Enjoy.
