In a far away land, where demons roam free...Albus, Scorpius, James, Lily, Hugo, and Rose are confronted with some of fiction's greatest fears.
Albus: Please tell me this is a dream. Why is everything white? Where is the ground?!
President Snowflake: Ah, but to dream is simply to face another form of reality.
Albus: AHHH! Who are you!?
James: Are you...Dumbledore?!
President Snowflake: EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!
Rose: That's not Dumbledore- the wand is all wrong.
President Snowflake: Indeed, only-intelligent-child-in-this-group-of-morons, I am none other than President Snowflake!
crickets chirp
Hugo: President what now?
James: Hey, didn't Mira mention something about-
Rose: Shit. Where are our parents?
Lily: Uhhh, guys. *points to screen*
Meanwhile, on a nearby screen suspended in a cloud, a vivid picture of all their unconscious parents is strategically placed.
Rose: I think I know where this is going. But where's Mira?
President Snowflake: We'll get to that demon girl later. You see, your task is simple. You face your biggest fears using this cool virtual reality thing I ordered off Amazon, then your parents get set free!
Hugo: Aren't you supposed to have like magical tech, not Amazon tech?
Scorpius: What's Amazon? Like the women warriors? They're terrifying.
President Snowflake: *evil grin* I hoped you'd say that!
A hole opens below Scorpius and the others can only watch in horror as he is sucked into a video game playing out on the screens in front of them.
President Snowflake: 6 fears, not bad. Reminds me of someone...
Katniss Everdeen appears
President Snowflake: No, no, not you, you conniving devil.
Katniss disappears, Tris Prior appears.
President Snowflake: Ah, yes! Weren't you the one with six?
Tris: *sighs* I keep telling you guys, it's 5 now!
President Snowflake: Mere technicalities.
Tris disappears in a huff of Dauntless. Attention is directed at the screen, where Scorpius is combatting his fifth fear.
Scorpius: NOT SPIDERS, ANYTHING BUT SPIDERS!
Hugo: Well, whadya know? He's afraid of spiders!
Rose: Oh, the irony.
Scorpius almost gets eaten but manages to escape at the last second. He finds himself in a blank, empty room.
Scorpius: Well. This isn't so bad.
A cupboard appears.
Scorpius: Shit.
Hugo: I see no problems. Maybe a boggart?
Rose: No. That doesn't seem to be it.
Suddenly the room is filled with students from Hogwarts. They rush towards the cupboard, pulling Scorpius along with them. The cupboard door opens, revealing Albus kissing a young witch.
Scorpius: NOOOOOOOO!
Back in President Snowflake's control room, jaws drop.
President Snowflake: Dramaaaaaa.
Scorpius sinks to the floor, then remembers that it's only a simulation. He gets up, pushes aside the red haired witch and kisses a surprised virtual Albus with all his might.
Everyone: What?!
President Snowflake: *impressed* I didn't know he had it in him.
James: Well...damn.
Albus is furiously red, and turns more so as Scorpius appears besides him, traumatised. Scorpius looks at the faces in the room and immediately turns red.
President Snowflake: And on that note, in you go, Albus!
Albus is sucked into the vortex and screams for Scorpius as he disappears. On the screen it shows his fear count- two. There are collective gasps.
Rose: Two?! The closest anyone ever got was...four.
Four and Tris appear.
Four: It's three now, actually.
He looks lovingly at an unaware Tris who is marvelling at Albus fighting off Voldemort.
James: Aww. She is quite beautiful.
Four turns his electric glare onto James, who quickly shrinks back. His attention is recaptured by Tris, who glares at James with an equal amount of ferocity.
Tris: Don't call me that.
Lily: I like your tattoos!
Four and Tris soften, and start to show Lily each of their tattoos and explain the meaning behind them. James watches, enviously.
President Snow: Boring. *fastforwards the Albus/Voldemort fight*
Albus finds himself in a white room with the only person in it being his father. Harry walks towards him with disappointment and worse-disgust on his face.
Harry: You're gay? Gay?! No son of mine can be gay.
More faces start to appear-his mother, grandparents, Slytherins from school. Albus curls into a ball as the words ricochet off him. He has no strength left to combat this sort of fear.
Suddenly, a voice cuts clearly through the hate.
Scorpius: Come here, you beautiful boy.
Rose, Lily, Hugo and James look around furiously, realising that somehow Scorpius has gotten into the dream. President Snowflake looks on, interested.
Scorpius extends a hand to Albus, which Albus takes hesitantly. The voices around them stop and melt away as Albus, spurred on by Scorpius, rips off his jacket to reveal a shirt with the words 'Gay and fucking proud' and proceeds to intensely kiss Scorpius. The other children look away except Lily and President Snowflake, who are cheering wildly.
President Snowflake: And that's how you put on a show. That was so entertaining, I'll let you all go right now. Your parents can leave too.
Rose: You'll let us go home?
President Snowflake: *laughs* Oh no, that's for the vixen to decide. Something tells me she's not done with you yet...
