MINISTRY OF MAGIC, HARRY’S OFFICE

HERMIONE sits with piles of paper in front of her in HARRY’s messy office. She is slowly sorting through it all, reading and trying to understand. HARRY enters in a rush. He is bleeding from a graze on his cheek. HERMIONE looks up beadily.

HERMIONE

How did it go?

HARRY (smiles)

It was true.

HERMIONE

Theodore Nott?

HARRY

In custody.

HERMIONE

And the Time-Turner itself?

HARRY reveals the Time-Turner. It shines out alluringly. HERMIONE is amazed to see it.

Is it genuine? Does it work? It’s not just an Hour-Reversal Turner – it goes back further?

HARRY

We don’t know anything yet. I wanted to try it out there and then but wiser heads prevailed.

HERMIONE

Well, now we have it.

HARRY

And you’re sure you want to keep it?

HERMIONE

I don’t think we’ve a choice. Look at it. It’s entirely different to the Time-Turner I had.

HARRY (dryly)

Apparently wizardry has moved on since we were kids.

HERMIONE

You’re bleeding.

HARRY checks his face in the mirror. He dabs at the wound with his robes.

Don’t worry, it’ll go with the scar.
