ACT FOUR, SCENE EIGHT

GODRIC’S HOLLOW, A SHED, 1981

ALBUS looks up, amazed to see GINNY and then HARRY, and then he takes in the rest of the happy band (RON, DRACO, and HERMIONE).

ALBUS: MUM?HARRY: Albus Severus Potter. Are we pleased to see you.ALBUS runs and throws himself into GINNY’s arms. GINNY receives him, delighted.ALBUS: You got our note . . . ?GINNY: We got your note.SCORPIUS trots up to his dad.DRACO: We can hug too if you like . . .SCORPIUS looks at his dad, unsure for a moment. And then they sort of half hug in a very awkward way. DRACO smiles.RON: Now, where’s this Delphi?SCORPIUS: You know about Delphi?ALBUS: She’s here — she’s trying to kill you, we think. Before Voldemort curses himself she’s going to kill you and so break the prophecy and . . .HERMIONE: Yes, we thought that might be it too. Do you know where specifically she is now?SCORPIUS: She’s disappeared. How did you — how did you, without the Time-Turner —HARRY (interrupting): That’s a long and complicated story, Scorpius. And we don’t have time for it.DRACO smiles at HARRY gratefully.HERMIONE: Harry’s right. Time is of the essence. We need to get people into position. Now, Godric’s Hollow is not a large place but she could be coming from any direction. So we need somewhere that gives us good views of the town — that allows for multiple and clear observation points — and that will, most importantly, keep us hidden, because we cannot risk being seen.They all frown, thinking.I’d say St. Jerome’s Church ticks all those boxes, wouldn’t you?
