Harry sat in his study, his desk buried beneath a mix of maps, journals, and the notes he'd brought back from Solvaris. The exploration of the mysterious floating continent had been eye-opening, and he was only just beginning to organize all he'd learned. Just as he found a clear page in his journal, a familiar face appeared in the doorway.

"Harry, hope I'm not interrupting," Alex Russo grinned, stepping inside with her usual energy. She had come over from Brightmoor on a whim, following a feeling that she should visit him.

"Not at all, Alex," Harry said, smiling. "I was actually hoping to explore some islands around Eldoria. Care to join me?"

Alex's eyes sparkled. "Adventure? Say no more."

They set off by boat, steering toward a small cluster of four islands to the north. The islands were fairly close together, each one lush and wild. But as they approached the first island, Harry and Alex noticed something peculiar: the air was unusually warm, the trees were vibrant with green leaves, and sunlight filled every corner of the island.

"It's like perpetual summer here," Alex observed, taking in the balmy breeze.

Harry nodded, already jotting down notes. "Feels like it's stuck in one season."

Curious, they continued to the second island. This one was bathed in an amber glow, the ground covered with fallen leaves in hues of red, gold, and orange. Trees swayed gently, their branches heavy with late-season leaves.

"This one's like eternal autumn," Alex said, crunching through the leaves with a delighted smile. "Imagine living somewhere that's always cozy like this."

The third island brought a stark change in temperature. As they stepped onto the shore, they were greeted by a wonderland of white—snow covered every surface, glistening under a pale sky. Ice crystals clung to branches, and the sound of crunching snow filled the quiet.

"Perpetual winter," Harry noted, catching a snowflake on his glove. "It's like the seasons are frozen in place."

Finally, they arrived at the fourth island, which was bursting with color. Bright flowers bloomed across every meadow, and a gentle breeze filled the air with the scent of fresh blossoms.

"Eternal spring," Alex said, twirling among the flowers. "These islands are amazing."

Harry agreed, writing in his journal. "I think I'll call them the Seasonal Islands. Each one captures a season forever."

After exploring each island's unique beauty, they decided to journey south to investigate a larger cluster of ten islands. As they neared, Alex's imagination took off.

"These islands could be incredible for adventures," she suggested. "Imagine—one as a giant amusement park, another as a resort, and maybe a dedicated Quidditch stadium?"

Harry's eyes brightened. "A place for international Quidditch matches... Now that's a great idea. And a theme park would definitely attract visitors from all over."

"Oh! And an adults-only island," Alex added with a mischievous smile. "Somewhere people can unwind without kids around."

Harry laughed. "Sounds like you have quite the plan here, Alex."

They named this lively set of islands the Adventurous Islands, marking each of Alex's ideas on Harry's map.

Afterward, they turned to the remaining five islands in the cluster, which had a quiet beauty to them. Harry envisioned a retreat for peace-seekers, far from the lively adventures on the neighboring islands.

"These islands would be ideal for relaxation," he suggested. "Hotels, condominiums, meditation spots—places where people can come for peace."

Alex nodded. "Perfect for those who want to relax and reconnect."

Harry made a final note: The Serene Islands. He and Alex looked over the map with satisfaction, each new destination adding richness to Eldoria and its surroundings.

"Another set of islands ready for future explorers," Alex said, patting Harry on the shoulder. "Looks like this world keeps expanding."

Harry smiled, closing his notebook. "And there's still so much more to discover."
