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.

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.
