Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

expression changes slightly.
Oh, nice mark.
DELPHI: What?
DELPHI’s cloak has loosened. An Augurey tattoo is visible on the back of her neck.
ALBUS: On your back. I hadn’t noticed it before. The wings. Is that what the Muggles call a
tattoo?
DELPHI: Oh. Yes. Well, it’s an Augurey.
SCORPIUS: An Augurey?
DELPHI: Haven’t you met them in Care of Magical Creatures? They’re sinister-looking black birds
that cry when rain’s coming. Wizards used to believe that the Augurey’s cry foretold death.
When I was growing up, my guardian kept one in a cage.
SCORPIUS: Your . . . guardian?
DELPHI looks at SCORPIUS, now she has the Time-Turner she’s enjoying the game of this.
DELPHI: She used to say it was crying because it could see I was going to come to a sticky end.
She didn’t like me much. Euphemia Rowle . . . she only took me in for the gold.
ALBUS: Why would you want a tattoo of her bird, then?
DELPHI: It reminds me that the future is mine to make.
ALBUS: Cool. I might get an Augurey tattoo.
SCORPIUS: The Rowles were pretty extreme Death Eaters.
A thousand thoughts whir inside SCORPIUS’s head.
ALBUS: Come on, let’s get destroying . . . Confringo? Stupefy? Bombarda? Which would you
use?
SCORPIUS: Give it back. Give us back the Time-Turner.
DELPHI: What?
ALBUS: Scorpius? What are you doing?
SCORPIUS: I don’t believe you ever were ill. Why didn’t you come to Hogwarts? Why are you
here now?
