ALBUS walks up a staircase. Looking around as he does. 

He doesn't see anything. He exits. The staircases move in almost a dance. 

OLIVIA enters behind him. She thinks she's seen ALBUS, she realizes he isn't there. 

She slumps down to the floor as the staircase sweeps around. 

MADAM HOOCH enters and walks up the staircase. At the top, she gestures for OLIVIA to move.

She does. And slopes off — her abject loneliness clear. 

ALBUS enters and walks up one staircase. 

OLIVIA enters and walks up another. 

The staircases meet. The two look at each other. 

Lost and hopeful—all at once. 

And then ALBUS looks away and the moment is broken—and with it, possibly, the friendship. 

And now the staircases part — the two look at each other — one full of guilt — the other full of pain —both full of unhappiness.
