MINISTRY OF MAGIC, HERMIONE'S OFFICE
OLIVIA/HARRY and DELPHI/HERMIONE are waiting on the other side of HERMIONE's office door asALBUS/RON enters — he slumps, exhausted.
ALBUS/RON: This is all too weird.
DELPHI/HERMIONE: You were impressive. Good blocking action.
OLIVIA/HARRY: I don't know whether to high-five you or frown at you for kissing your aunt about fivehundred times!
ALBUS/RON: Ron's an affectionate guy. I was trying to distract her, Olivia. I did distract her.
OLIVIA/HARRY: And then there's what your dad said . . .
DELPHI/HERMIONE: Both of you . . . She will be back — we don't have long.
ALBUS/RON (to OLIVIA/HARRY): You heard that?
DELPHI/HERMIONE: Where would Hermione hide a Time-Turner? (She looks around the room, she sees thebookcases.) Search the bookcases.
They start to search. OLIVIA/HARRY looks at her friend, concerned.
OLIVIA/HARRY: Why didn't you tell me?
ALBUS/RON: My dad says he wishes I weren't his son. Hardly a conversation starter, is it?
OLIVIA/HARRY tries to work out what to say.
OLIVIA/HARRY: I know the — Voldemort thing isn't — true — and — you know — but sometimes, I thinkI can see my dad thinking: How did I produce this?
ALBUS/RON: Still better than my dad. I'm pretty sure he spends most of his time thinking: How can I givehim back?
DELPHI/HERMIONE tries to pull OLIVIA/HARRY towards the bookshelves.
DELPHI/HERMIONE: Maybe if we could concentrate on the matter at hand.
OLIVIA/HARRY: My point is, there's a reason we're friends, Albus — a reason we found each other, youknow? And whatever this — adventure — is about . . .Then she spots a book on the shelf that makes her frown.Have you seen the books on these shelves? There are some serious books here. Banned books.Cursed books.
ALBUS/RON: How to distract Olivia from difficult emotional issues. Take her to a library.
OLIVIA/HARRY: All the books from the Restricted Section and then some. Magick Moste Evile.Fifteenth-Century Fiends. Sonnets of a Sorcerer — that's not even allowed in Hogwarts!
ALBUS/RON: Shadows and Spirits. The Nightshade Guide to Necromancy.
DELPHI/HERMIONE: They are quite something, aren't they . . .
ALBUS/RON: The True History of the Opal Fire. The Imperius Curse and How to Abuse It.
OLIVIA/HARRY: And lookee here. Whoa. My Eyes and How to See Past Them by Sybill Trelawney. Abook on Divination. Hermione Granger hates Divination. This is fascinating. This is a find . . .
She pulls the book from the shelf. And it falls open. And speaks.
BOOK: The first is the fourth, a disappointing mark.
You'll find it in parked but not in park.
OLIVIA/HARRY: Okay. A book that talks. Bit weird.
BOOK: The second is the less fair of those that walk on two legs.
