Hermione Granger SCORPIUS
You’re mostly focused on bringing up your kids.
RON
Great. I expect their mother is hot.
SCORPIUS (blushing)
Well... um... depends what you think of . . . the thing is, you two, sort of have kids – together. A daughter and a son.
The two look up, astonished.
Married. In love. Everything. You were shocked the other time too. When you were Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher and Ron was married to Padma. You’re constantly surprised by it.
HERMIONE and RON both look at each other and then look away. And then RON looks back. RON clears his throat repeatedly. With less conviction each time.
HERMIONE
Close your mouth when you’re looking at me, Weasley.

HERMIONE
And – Snape? What does Snape do in this other world?
SNAPE
I’m dead, presumably.

SNAPE
How [am I dead]?
SCORPIUS
Bravely.
SNAPE
Who?
SCORPIUS
Voldemort.
SNAPE
How very irritating.
There’s a silence as SNAPE digests this.
Still, there’s glory in being taken down by the Dark Lord himself, I suppose.
HERMIONE
I’m sorry, Severus.
SNAPE looks at her, and then swallows the pain. He indicates RON with a flick of his head.
SNAPE
Well, at least I’m not married to him.

SNAPE
Then it’s just me and the boy.
HERMIONE
No offence, Snape, but I’m not trusting this to anyone... it’s too important.

HERMIONE
We get this right, Harry’s alive, Voldemort’s dead and the Augurey is gone. For that no risk is too great. Though I am sorry what it will cost you.
SNAPE
Sometimes costs are made to be borne.
The two look at each other, SNAPE nods, HERMIONE nods back, SNAPE’s face crumbles slightly.
I didn’t just quote Dumbledore, did I?
HERMIONE (with a smile)
No, I’m pretty sure that’s pure Severus Snape.

RON
Ow. Ow. Owwwwwww.
HERMIONE
Ron... Ron... what has it done to you?
SNAPE
Oh no, I knew it.
SCORPIUS
The Time-Turner did something to Albus too. The first time we went back.
RON
Useful – time to – ow – tell us.

HERMIONE (she realises what she has to do)
They’re after me, not any of you. Ron. I love you and I always have. But the three of you need to run. Go. Now.
RON
What?
SCORPIUS
What?
RON
Can we talk about the love thing first?

HERMIONE
A daughter.
RON
And a son. I liked that idea too.
He looks around – he knows his fate. I’m scared.
HERMIONE
Kiss me.
RON thinks and then does. And then the two are yanked apart. And pinned to the ground. And we watch as a golden-whitish haze is pulled from their bodies. They have their souls sucked from them. And it is terrifying.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
If I could also give a detention to you, Minister, I would. Keeping hold of a Time-Turner, of all the stupid things!
HERMIONE
In my defence—
PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
And in a bookcase. You kept it in a bookcase. It’s almost laughable.
HERMIONE
Minerva. (There is an intake of breath.) Professor McGonagall—
PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
Your children didn’t exist!

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL (to ALBUS and SCORPIUS)
Your intentions to save Cedric were honourable if misguided. And it does sound as if you were brave, Scorpius, and you, Albus, but the lesson even your father sometimes failed to heed is that bravery doesn’t forgive stupidity. Always think. Think what’s possible. A world controlled by Voldemort is—
SCORPIUS
A horrific world.
PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
You are so young. (She looks at HARRY, DRACO, GINNY and HERMIONE.) You’re all so young. You have no idea how dark the wizarding wars got. You were – reckless – with the world some people – some very dear friends of mine and yours – sacrificed a huge amount to create and sustain.
ALBUS
Yes, Professor.
SCORPIUS
Yes, Professor.
