HERMIONE: "Godric's Hollow. It must be twenty years…"

RON: "Old times with a few unwelcome ponytails added to the mix."

HERMIONE looks witheringly at RON. RON takes the hit.

HERMIONE: "It's become quite popular as a weekend break."

RON, HERMIONE, DRACO, HARRY, and GINNY walk through a present-day Godric's Hollow. A busy market town (it's expanded over the years).

HERMIONE approaches HARRY -- who is looking around himself, overwhelmed by all that he's seeing.

DRACO knows a barb when he hears one.

DRACO: "I can see why -- look at the thatched roofs. And is that a farmers' market?"

HERMIONE: "You remember when we were last here? This feels just like old times."

DRACO: "Can I just say --"

RON: "Malfoy, you may be all chummy chummy with Harry, and you may have produced a relatively nice child, but you've said some very unfair things to and about my wife…"

HERMIONE: "And your wife doesn't need you fighting her battles for her."

GINNY: "Is it just me or are there more Muggles about…"

RON: "Fine. But if you say one thing about her or me…"

HERMIONE: "Thank you, husband. Now this seems a good spot. Let's do this."

HERMIONE: "He'll hug you. Because we're all on the same team, aren't we, Ron?"

DRACO: "You'll do what, Weasley?"

RON (hesitating in the face of her unwavering gaze): "Fine. I, um, I think you've got really nice hair. Draco."

DRACO takes out the Time-Turner -- it begins spinning wildly as the others take their places around it.

And then it speeds up.

And time stops. And then it turns over, thinks a bit, and begins spooling backwards, slow at first…

They look around themselves.

And there is a giant whoosh of light. A smash of noise.

RON: "So? Has it worked?"
