It all starts with Delphi Riddle.

This Voldemort's daughter, who is also the real "cursed child", successfully lured two young men with good blood by pretending to be a relative of Amos Diggory, a mentally unstable old man who has lost her son, and in a pitiful way, wants them to save Cedric Diggory, and finally turns them into playthings in the palm of her hand.

Delphi tricked Albus and Scorpius into using a time turner to travel back in time, changing history by interfering with Cedric Diggory's experience in the Triwizard Tournament.

"We've changed history three times in total."

Scorpius's voice was dry, like a dead piece of old bark, and with a wave of his wand from his hand, one of the cabinets in the headmaster's room opened automatically, and out of it flew a stone basin filled with liquid.

It is a meditation basin, a magic item that is used to extract memories from the mind and watch them in an immersive way.

"For the first time, Albus and I lost the first match of the Triwizard Tournament by disarming Cedric, causing him to lose his wand...... And as a result, a couple who should have gotten married didn't get married. ”

Scorpius tapped on the edge of the stone basin, and a series of images automatically appeared in the meditation basin, the scene of the Triwizard Tournament, where two fifteen or sixteen-year-olds were excitedly thinking that they could save the lives of those who should have died...... As a result, when they go back in history, they find that Ron Weasley's wife has become Parvati Patil.

- He is not married to Hermione Granger.

"So, you made a second attempt."

Chu Xuan stared at the picture inside the meditation basin, and all the portraits on the wall of the principal's room made the same action as him. The headmasters of Hogwarts listened intently to their conversations, and some of the portraits that could not see the inside of the meditation basin went out into the frames of others, watching the story experienced by the time traveler himself.

"Yes, we felt that because we hadn't changed enough, we used a second time turner...... And as a result, a hopeless future. ”

Scorpius gripped the corner of the table with one of his hands, so much so that his joints turned white, and with his words, another, even more terrifying future resurfaced on the surface of the meditation basin.

On Voldemort's day, the Imvenants of Hogwarts, Dolores Umbridge as the headmaster, Muggle-born wizards were tortured in the dungeons as slaves and inferiors, and pure-blood wizards walked around the school on their toes...... Wizards took pleasure in killing Muggles, and they even formed death camps for the "Mudbloods".

After hearing these bloody words, more than one Hogwarts headmaster looked away as if he couldn't bear to see it, and the sound of gasping air was heard in the office from time to time.

"Oh my God."

Even Phineas Black, a staunch supporter of the pure-blood family and the most unpopular Headmaster in Hogwarts history, whispered, "Too much...... It's just too much. ”

“…… This is what I see and what I have experienced firsthand in the future. ”

Scorpius said bitterly, as Draco Malfoy's face emerged from the frame as he spoke, haughty, cold, and strange.

"The good is better, the bad is worse."

In Scorpius's words, another series of images emerge. Realizing his mistake, Scorpius wants to restore the world to normal alone, even if he is the final winner, the vested interest, the "Scorpion King" of Hogwarts, still embarks on the road of no return without hesitation...... Then, he found Severus Snape.

“…… That's the story you told in front of Snape that day. ”

Yang Yun looked at the meditation basin, Scorpius and Snape, and the last two members of the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione and Ron, who had been secretly hidden for nearly twenty years, used the time turner to return to the scene of the Triwizard Tournament and revise history again; Watch as Ron and Hermione were sucked out of their souls by the Dementors, and watched as Snape was also sacrificed at the hands of the Dementors...... Watch as Scorpius finally accomplishes the impossible and puts history back on track.

"A history caused by mistakes, a wrong future by changing the past."

Chu Xuan stared at the picture inside the meditation basin, and his tone did not fluctuate: "But since you are still here, it means that you have failed in the end." ”

"That's right, I thought everything was back to normal...... But I was wrong, by the time I found out the true face of that woman, it was too late. ”

A wry smile tugged at the corners of Scorpius' mouth as he tapped the edge of the meditation basin for the third time.

More footage emerges, and everyone sees Delphi Riddle, known as "The Bird," knocking down Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, and then uttering that prophecy.

"When the obstructive is taken down, when time is reversed, when the unseen child murders their father, the Dark Lord returns."

Then, it was Delphi who activated the Time Turner, returning to the time when Voldemort stepped into Godric's Hollow to kill the Potters, and the three of them returned to October 30, 1981, when the Time Turner was damaged...... And when Albus and Scorpius realized that the worst was yet to happen, they made a decision.

"We should go to Dumbledore." Albus in the meditation basin said, "We have made enough mistakes...... We should find reliable people to ask for help, to get capable people to take care of everything, just as you went to Severus Snape for help in that future. ”

"But is there really too much time?"

Scorpius has a different opinion: "We don't know where Delphi is now, we don't know when Voldemort will come, or even if Dumbledore is at Hogwarts...... There's so much uncertainty, Albus. ”

"But the two of us alone will never be a match for Voldemort and Delphi."

After the blood, reason seemed to regain possession of the boy's mind, and Albus persuaded his friend: "The other party is the Dark Lord and his daughter, and what are we?" Two ordinary Hogwarts fifth-year students? ”

"But ......"

"Relax, brother, and don't forget my name."

Albus Severus Potter smiled and patted Scorpius on the shoulder, and although everyone outside the meditation basin could tell that he was only feigning composure, his words were indeed very persuasive: "He's Dumbledore, Albus Dumbledore, my father gave me this name, I believe it was a matter of fate...... Severus saved us once, and now it's Albus' turn." ”

His words convinced Scorpius.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of them at the time, this was a wise decision and the most correct one in the current situation...... But everyone who knew the outcome in advance understood what was waiting for them.

Looking at the picture of the real Albus convincing himself, Scorpius held the broken time turner with a trembling hand: "We failed...... When we arrived at Hogwarts and were about to find Headmaster Dumbledore, my best brother was reduced to ashes before my eyes, completely dissipating into the air...... We're falling short. ”

One tear fell into the meditation basin, then two, three drops.

"I'm always one step late."

A flash of fire flashed, and Dumbledore reappeared in the Headmaster's office, and he understood what was going on in the meditation basin with just a glance at what was going on. The greatest white wizard of the twentieth century walked up to the table and gently patted Scorpius on the shoulder: "I...... I'm so sorry. ”

"I've heard that some people's emotions change when they take a big emotional hit. If that's the case, I can see why your Patronus is also a deer. ”

Recalling that conversation with Snape, Yang Yun understood the secret hidden in it, and his gaze moved to Chu Xuan, who was speechless: "So, the basic situation is like this...... Chu Xuan, what do you think? ”

"I do have a lot of guesses."

Chu Xuan stood up: "However, we still have to wait until we completely deal with Voldemort." (End of chapter)
