style="font-size:15px;"> HARRY looks up, astonished.
HARRY
Get him back? Amos, that’s not possible.
AMOS
The Ministry has a Time-Turner does it not?
HARRY
The Time-Turners were all destroyed.
AMOS
The reason I’m here with such urgency is I’ve just heard rumour – strong rumour – that the Ministry seized an illegal Time-Turner from Theodore Nott and has kept it. For investigation. Let me use that Time-Turner. Let me have my son back.
There’s a long, deadly pause. HARRY is finding this extremely difficult. We watch as ALBUS moves closer, listening.
HARRY
Amos, playing with time? You know we can’t do that.
AMOS
How many people have died for the Boy Who Lived? I’m asking you to save one of them.
This hurts HARRY. He thinks, his face hardens.
HARRY
Whatever you’ve heard – the Theodore Nott story is a fiction, Amos. I’m sorry.
DELPHI
Hello.
ALBUS jumps a mile as DELPHI – a twenty-something determined-looking woman – is revealed looking through the stairs at him.
Oh. Sorry. Didn’t mean to startle. I used to be a big stair-listener myself. Sitting there. Waiting for someone to say something the tiniest bit interesting.
ALBUS
Who are you? Because this is sort of my house and. .
DELPHI
I’m a thief of course. I’m about to steal everything you own. Give me your gold, your wand and your Chocolate Frogs! (She looks fierce and then smiles.) Either that or I’m Delphini Diggory. (She ascends the stairs and sticks out a hand.) Delphi. I look after him – Amos – well, I try. (She indicates AMOS.) And you are?
ALBUS (rueful grin)
