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.

HARRY: "Albus Severus Potter. Are we pleased to see you."

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…"

SCORPIUS: "You know about Delphi?"

ALBUS: "MUM?"

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."

GINNY: "We got your note."

SCORPIUS trots up to his dad.

RON: "Now, where's this Delphi?"

HERMIONE: "Yes, we thought that might be it too. Do you know where specifically she is now?"

ALBUS runs and throws himself into GINNY's arms. GINNY receives him, delighted.

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: "You got our note…?"

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.

DRACO smiles at HARRY gratefully.

HERMIONE: "I'd say St. Jerome's Church ticks all those boxes, wouldn't you?"
