How It All Goes Down
Edge of the Forbidden Forest
- We're back to the present then, but it's still the dark present.
- Did it not work?
- Dementors attack and suck out Ron and Hermione's souls.
- In case you didn't know, the stage directions tell us "it is terrifying" (3.9.40).
- And here we thought soul-sucking might be a pleasant experience to witness.
- Snape and Scorpius flee to Hogwarts, where Umbridge is waiting.
- Snape knocks her back with a spell.
- The Dementors swoop down, and Snape defends Scorpius with a Patronus.
- As the Dementors close in on Snape, he tells Scorpius to tell Albus Severus he's proud that the boy carries his name.
- Suddenly, Scorpius is blasted into the other timeline, the one we started in.
- Albus is there, and Scorpius tells them that his plan failed, but that's the best they could ask for.
- Harry and the gang show up to find their kids.
- Headmistress McGonagall, doing her best Ricky Ricardo impression, tells Albus and Scorpius, "you've got some explaining to do" (3.9.129).
