DELPHI/HERMIONE: "Do we go… in her office?"

GUARD (with a nod): "Minister."

SCORPIUS/HARRY: "And you're sure it's in there?"

SCORPIUS/HARRY: "Okay. Hiding places. No hiding places. Anyone know any Invisibility Charms?"

A guard walks past. SCORPIUS/HARRY and DELPHI/HERMIONE try to affect performances.

ALBUS/RON: "She'll be coming to her office."

HARRY (from off): "There's nothing to talk about."

It was my uncle's idea to use the Veritaserum -- we slipped it into a visiting Ministry official's drink. He told us that the Time-Turner had been kept and even told us where -- the office of the Minister for Magic herself.

She indicates a door. Suddenly they hear a noise.

DELPHI/HERMIONE: "Oh no."

The panic is instant and infectious.

ALBUS/RON: "Hermione. And Dad."

DELPHI/HERMIONE: "Let's ponder it together."

He walks on, they let out a sigh of relief.

DELPHI/HERMIONE: "Yes, Minister, I definitely think this is a matter for the Ministry to ponder at length, yes."

HERMIONE (from off): "Harry… we should talk about it…"

ALBUS/RON: "But I can't… I can't…"

He kisses HERMIONE firmly.

HERMIONE: "What are you doing here?"

ALBUS/RON: "Me. Why?"

There's a small kerfuffle and then ALBUS/RON ends up standing outside the door as HERMIONE and HARRY enter from off.

DELPHI/HERMIONE: "Well, it can't be either of us, can it? We are them."

HARRY: "I should go…"

SCORPIUS/HARRY: "Albus. Block her. It has to be you."

ALBUS/RON: "Does a man need an excuse to see his wife?"

HERMIONE: "Ron?"

He aims his wand at the door. The door swings open. He grins -- delighted.

HERMIONE: "Harry. My point is… whatever Draco says -- the things you said to Albus… I don't think it'll do any of us any good for you to dwell on it."

She tries the door. She tries it again.

HARRY: "Hermione, I'm grateful for your concern but there's no need --"

ALBUS/RON: "Surprise!!!"

HERMIONE (from off): "What you said was obviously wrong -- but -- there are more factors at play here than --"

SCORPIUS/HARRY: "Stand back. Alohomora!"

HERMIONE (from off): "If you don't talk to me or Ginny about it…"

DELPHI/HERMIONE: "There's nowhere else."

HARRY (from off): "What is there to say?"

HERMIONE: "What?"

ALBUS/RON: "Let's have another baby."

ALBUS/RON: "Or if not another baby, a holiday. I want a baby or a holiday and I'm going to insist on it. Shall we talk about it later, honey?"

ALBUS/RON: "Of course it isn't. Bye-bye, darling."

HERMIONE: "You are. Let me into my room, Ron."

ALBUS/RON: "I'm not. Blocking. Anything."

HERMIONE: "Ron!"

ALBUS/RON: "Oh, you're talking about how Harry said sometimes he wished I --" (he corrects himself) "Albus weren't his son."

ALBUS/RON: "Better out than in, that's what I say…"

She again makes for the door, he blocks her again.

HERMIONE: "Ron, now's not the time, honestly."

ALBUS/RON watches her go, hopeful she'll walk past her office and away. But of course she doesn't. He runs to block her before she enters through her door. He blocks her once, and then blocks her again, swinging his hips to do so.

ALBUS/RON: "But what if sometimes we say stuff we do mean… What then?"

HERMIONE: "He'll know… We all say stuff we don't mean. He knows that."

HERMIONE: "Why are you blocking the entrance to my office?"

HERMIONE tries to dodge past him.

She exits. He checks she's gone and the relief floods out of him as he opens the door.

ALBUS/RON: "Right you are."

ALBUS/RON: "Maybe with a drink in the Leaky Cauldron? Love you."

ALBUS/RON: "It's why you married me, isn't it? My puckish sense of fun."

HERMIONE: "A baby -- OR -- a holiday? Some days you are off the scale, you know that?"

She exits again. He starts to open the door but again she reenters, he slams it closed.

ALBUS/RON turns towards the door. She reenters, this time, alone.

She exits. HARRY exits with her.

HERMIONE: "I can taste fish. I told you to stay away from those fishfinger sandwiches."

She tries to get into the room one final time, he blocks her with a kiss. It develops into quite a struggle.

HERMIONE (relenting): "If there is another stink pellet in there then Merlin won't help you. Fine. We're due to update the Muggles anyway."
