Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

And why risk this living nightmare? Because inside this maze is a Cup — and not just any
Cup — yes, the Triwizard trophy stands within this vegetation.
DELPHI: Where is he? Where is Cedric?
A hedge almost dissects ALBUS and SCORPIUS.
SCORPIUS: The hedges want to kill us too? This gets better and better.
DELPHI: You will keep up or face the consequences.
LUDO BAGMAN: The perils are plentiful, but the prizes are palpable. Who will fight their way
through? Who will fall at the final hurdle? What heroes do we have within our midst? Only
time will tell, ladies and gentlemen, only time will tell.
They move through the maze, SCORPIUS and ALBUS being compelled by DELPHI. As she moves
ahead, the boys have a chance to talk.
SCORPIUS: Albus, we need to do something.
ALBUS: I know, but what? She has snapped our wands, we’re bound, and she’s threatening to kill
you.
SCORPIUS: I’m ready to die if it’ll stop Voldemort returning.
ALBUS: Are you?
SCORPIUS: You won’t have to mourn me for long, she’ll kill me and quickly kill you too.
ALBUS (desperate): The flaw in the Time-Turner, the five-minute rule. We do all we can to run
down the clock.
SCORPIUS: It won’t work.
As another hedge changes direction, DELPHI pulls ALBUS and SCORPIUS in after her. They
continue through this maze of despair.
LUDO BAGMAN: Now let me remind you of the current standings! Tied in first place — Mr. Cedric
Diggory and Mr. Harry Potter. In second place — Mr. Viktor Krum! And in third place —
sacré bleu, Miss Fleur Delacour.
Suddenly, ALBUS and SCORPIUS emerge from behind a hedge, they’re running.
ALBUS: Where did she go?
SCORPIUS: Does it matter? Which way do you think?
DELPHI rises up after them. She’s flying, and without a broom.
