Orphaned as a child and raised within the castle by its professors, ghosts, groundskeeper and one extremely unwilling Potions master, Y/N has spent her whole life knowing Hogwarts as family rather than school. But at eleven, everything changes.
Y/N has a habit of getting caught out after curfew, and Professor Snape has a habit of assigning her detention for it. What begins as mutual irritation slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Because the more time Snape spends supervising Hogwarts’ most suspiciously cheerful repeat offender, the more he begins to realise that Y/N isn’t trying to escape detention. She’s trying to avoid going somewhere else. And when fifth year brings Umbridge, dangerous secrets, and more reckless adventures than Y/N can reasonably survive, Snape may find himself becoming far more involved than either of them intended.
Y/N Lupin has always known two things for certain: her father loves her, and nothing in their life stays permanent for very long. Then Remus Lupin is offered a teaching position at Hogwarts—and thirteen-year-old Y/N is offered a place beside him. Suddenly, she has a House, classmates, three trouble-prone new friends, and an entire castle full of people who seem determined to care about her. But with an escaped murderer hunting Harry Potter, secrets from Remus’s past resurfacing, and Y/N becoming increasingly skilled at ending up exactly where she shouldn’t be, Hogwarts proves anything but quiet. Growing up is complicated. Growing up as Professor Lupin’s daughter is considerably worse.
Sneaking into the Forbidden Forest was reckless. Getting caught by Professor Snape was worse. Unfortunately for Y/N, Professor Snape is also her father. When fifteen-year-old Y/N Snape limps back into Hogwarts after curfew, muddy, injured, and determined to insist that absolutely nothing happened, Severus is furious. But as sharp words turn into shaken confessions, Y/N begins to realize that beneath her father’s anger lies something far more frightening to him than disobedience: the thought that she might not have come back at all.
