Y/N POV
Delphi had taken all three of us back to the Triwizard Tournament in the maze, my mouth keeps running and I just want to go home. "You talk too much, child. Crucio!" Delphi points her wand to me and I feel a certain type of pain im all too familiar with recently. Doesn't make it much easier. She casts the same spell on Scorpius. I can hear Delphini and Albus talking, their words don't make too much sense to me at all.
"Expelliarmus!" the pain stops. Scorpius and I look at each other confused. Then to Albus. "Brachiabindo!" We all look to Delphi now bound only to sink down into the maze. I'm about to speak when someone else does. "Come no further."
"Cedric Diggory..." My thoughts become verbal. He looks at me confused. "I heard screaming, I had to come. Name yourself, beasts. I can fight you." He scowls aiming his wand at us. "Cedric?!" Albus says. "You saved us." Scorpius smiles. "Are you also a task? An obstacle? Speak. Do I have to defeat you too?" Cedric asks, his voice had great urgency. We all share silence. "No. You just have to free us. That's the task." Scorpius says, not entirely a lie not entirely the truth. Cedric thinks, trying to work out whether it's a trap, and then waves his wand. "Emancipare." to Albus "Emancipare" to Scorpius. "Emancipare" to me. We are all free. "And now I can go on? Finish the maze?" Cedric asks us. I nod to him. He nods back. A singular, strong nod. He begins to walk away, Albus stops him. "Cedric... your father loves you... very much..." Cedric lends him a confused look. "Just thought you should know." Once again Cedric nods. "Well... thank you..." Cedric runs off. I feel horrible. He's going to die and there's nothing we can do about it.

I slide my hands down my face in defeat, "Albus..." Scorpius says. "No...wait..." Albus replies. I look to see what Scorpius is talking about.

The Time-Turner. Delphi.

"Albus. Delphi is gonna leave us behind. The Time-Turner is spinning." I tell him. He looks up in absolute fear. "Shit!" We all scramble to Delphi and the Time-Turner. She's shoving us. Kicking us. Doing anything to get us away. "We need to go with her! We need to stop her!" I yell. Delphi chuckles. "Stop me!? I am done with this. You may have destroyed my chances of using Cedric to darken the world but maybe you're right, maybe prophecies can be prevented, maybe prophecies can be broken. What is undoubtedly true is: I'm done with trying to use you annoying, incompetent creatures for anything. No more wasting precious seconds on any of you. Time to try something new." She snarls and in one swift shove. She crushes the time turner. And worse.

It explodes.

I black out. The night my father's time turner exploded replays in my head. I can feel my wounds open. In this moment. I'd prefer crucio and In all honesty, I want to go home. I want to see Hagrid. I want him to hear my apology for being reckless. I want him to forgive me and bake me terrible brownies that I would eat regardless the tough texture and overly salty taste. I want everything to be okay.

SCORPIUS POV
"Shit. shit. shit." I go to my knees resting Y/n's head on my thighs. One hand cradling her head the other supporting her back. I can feel blood speckle my hand under her back. Not a lot of blood. But enough to be worried. "Scorpius? Is she okay?" Albus asks me. I shake my head and show him the small amount of blood on my hand. "She's been worse. But we have no way to heal her, this isn't good." Albus looks around dragging his hands down his face. "Hogwarts..." he says. "We can't be seen here. Let's get out of here before we're spotted." I say. I begin to stand. lifting Y/n up in my arms. "Need help?" Albus asks me. I shake my head. We begin walking. "We need to stop her." "I know... but how."
