And now we enter a never-world of time chnage. And this scene is all about magic. The changes are rapid as we leap between worlds. There are no individual scenes, but fragments, shards that show constant progression of time. Initially we're inside of Hogwarts, in the Great Hall, and everyone is dancing around Albus.
Polly Chapman: Albus Potter.
Karl Jenkins: A Potter. In our year.
Yann Fredericks: He's got his hair. He's got hair just like him.
Rose: And he's my cousin ( As they turn. ) Rose Granger-Weasley. Nice to meet you.
The Sorting Hat walks through the students, who spring into their Houses. It becomes quickly apparent he's approching Rose, who is tense as she awaits her fate.
Sorting Hat: I've done this job for centuries On every student's head I've sat
Of thoughts I take inventories
For I'm the Sorting Hat.
I've sorted high, I've sorted low,
I've done the job through thick and thin
So put me on and you will know
Which house you will be in...
Rose Granger-Weasley.
He puts his hat on Rose's head.
GRYFFINDOR!
There's cheering from the Gryffindor's as Rose joins them.
Rose: Thank Dumbledore.
Scorpius runs to take Rose's place under the Sorting Hat's glare.
Sorting Hat: Scorpius Malfoy.
He puts his hat on Scorpius's head.
SLYTHERIN!
Scorpius was expecting this, he nods and half smiles. There's cheering from the Slytherins as he joins them.
Polly Chapman: Well, that makes sense.
Albus walks swiftly to the front of the stage.
Sorting Hat: Albus Potter.
He puts his hat on Albus's head - and this time he seems to take longer - almost as if he too is confused.
SLYTHERIN!
There's a silence. A perfect, profound silence. One that sits low, twists a bit, and has damage within it.
Polly Chapman: Slytherin?
Craig Bowker Jr.: Whoa! A Potter? In Slytherin.
Albus looks out, unsure. Scorpius smiles, delighted, as he shouts across to him.
Scorpius: You can stand next to me!
Albus ( throughly discombobulated ): Right. Yes.
Yann Fredericks: I suppose his hair isn't that similar.
Rose: Albus? But this is wrong, Albus. This is not how it's supposed to be.
And suddenly a flying lesson is happening with Madam Hooch.
Madam Hooch: Well, what are you all waiting for? Everyone stand by a broomstick. Cone on, hurry up.
