Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

ACT THREE, SCENE SIXTEEN
HOGWARTS, OWLERY
SCORPIUS and ALBUS emerge onto a roof bathed in silver light. There’s soft hooting all around
them.
SCORPIUS: So I think a simple Confringo.
ALBUS: Definitely not. For something like this you need Expulso.
SCORPIUS: Expulso? Expulso and we’ll be clearing bits of Time-Turner from this owlery for days.
ALBUS: Bombarda?
SCORPIUS: And wake up everyone in Hogwarts? Maybe Stupefy. They were originally destroyed
using Stupefy . . .
ALBUS: Exactly, it’s been done before — let’s do something new, something fun.
SCORPIUS: Fun? Look, many wizards overlook the importance of choosing the right spell, but this
really matters. I think it’s a much-underestimated part of modern witchcraft.
DELPHI: “A much-underestimated part of modern witchcraft” — you two are the greatest, you
know that?
SCORPIUS looks up, surprised to see DELPHI has emerged behind them.
SCORPIUS: Wow. You’re . . . um . . . What are you doing here?
ALBUS: It felt important to send an owl — let her know what we’re doing, you know?
