## Synopsis

On the way to the hospital wing, Cornelia and Masie walk separately. Cornelia arrives first. Madam Barrows is tending to a lot of patients - students and house elves. Masie limps in. Cornelia pulls her into a hospital bed and asks to be dismissed. Madam Barrows dismissed Cornelia and then starts tending to Masie. She shoves a potion into Masie’s mouth. Madam Barrows says she can stay to rest, but only for a brief period. Masie asks if she can rest in her dormitory. Madam Barrows inspects her closely and says that she can go to her dormitory to rest. Masie chooses to go to her dormitory to rest. Cornelia walks slowly back to her dorm, as it’s rare to be out and about.

Meanwhile, Lilian waits for 20 minutes before Cornelia returns. Masie arrives at the common room soon after. She has a bit of a confrontation with Cornelia and Lilian, but she quickly pushes past them to knock on Olive’s room. Olive’s roommate, Tressie Mallard, answers, and Masie asks her where Olive is. Tressie says that Olive might be with the Scorpion King, but she doesn’t know where Olive is. Masie can tell that she’s lying, so she lies back saying that she had no idea that Olive knew the Scorpion King. Tressie grabs Masie and gossips that she saw Olive, the Scorpion King, Professor Snape, and “that Ravenclaw student” talking in the Dark Arts classroom. She overheard that they’re going to try to change things, so she followed them to a strange hallway, and she already told Headmistress Umbridge. Masie convinces Tressie to take her to the hallway so they can see it for themselves. Masie tries to convince Tressie to stay and let her go alone, but Tressie is determined to go. Masie suggests saying that, if they get caught, they can say that Tressie is taking her to the hospital wing. Tressie says she heard them talking about a Time Turner, so she asked Gideon Knight what a Time Turner was, but he didn’t know anything. However, Gideon heard something from Robert Mulberry, who heard from Sharon Sweetleaf, who heard from Charlotte Willows, who heard about Time Turners before and said that they’re for going back in time. Tressie also says that when she told Headmistress Umbridge, she wasn’t surprised about Professor Snape. Masie and Tressie continue their conversation as they’re walking out of the common room. Cornelia notices Masie leaving with Tressie. Masie and Tressie trail toward the back of the line of students that are being led by the prefect to go to class and they break off running. Lilian and Cornelia try to stealthily follow, but they accidentally knock over a suit of armor, catching the attention of prefect Eva Larchmont. Lilian convinces her to let them stay there on their own to check her stubbed toe and put the suit of armor back together while Eva leads the rest of the students.

Meanwhile, inside the Room of Requirement, Undesirables No. 1 and 2, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley , step out of the portrait. They look very haggard. They tell Ron and Hermione about Scorpius and the Time Turner. Hermione asks Scorpius to tell her everything about how they used the Time Turner, but Scorpius says that Albus was the one who used it. Hermione asks to see the Time Turner so she can study it and help Scorpius figure out how to use it so that he can go back. Hermione recognizes the Time Turner and asks where Scorpius where he got it from. Scorpius says that they stole it, and he reveals that Ron and Hermione were married in his timeline, which shocks them. They suspect that Headmistress Umbridge could find them soon since she already knows where the Room of Requirement is and has broken in before. Olive asks what they can do to help, and Ron and Hermione say they don’t know. Olive is crushed that they don’t have a plan because she expected them to be heroic leaders of the resistance. Ron explains that they just fell into this, they just do what they can to survive, and most of their success comes from luck. Professor Snape starts working on a defense against the Inquisitorial Squads. Olive asks to help. Professor Snape asks what defensive spells she knows. She says she doesn’t. Professor Snape offers to teach her advanced defense spells. Olive is up for the challenge, but Alex prefers to take a step back so he can save his energy for later. Professor Snape, however, convinces Alex to step up to the challenge. Professor Snape starts to teach Olive and Alex the 4th year shield charm, Protego, but then they hear a chime that starts to go off from a cracked bell. Professor Snape suspects it’s the alarm signaling that they’re possibly under attack. Professor Snape directs Olive and Alex to guard the other side of the room while he guards the door to give Hermione and Scorpius as much time as possible to figure out how to use the Time Turner.

Meanwhile, Masie and Tressie walk up the stairs and see Headmistress Umbridge and other mean-looking professors walking up to the location Tressie talked about. Headmistress Umbridge directs Professor Ogalvee to let Professor Snape know that they’re here. Professor Ogalvee casts several fire spells on the door. Masie casts a Trip Jinx on Professor Ogalvee. His feet sticks together, and he wobbles but doesn’t fall over. His wand, however, falls out of his hand. Headmistress Umbridge notices Masie. Masie hides behind a pillar and then pops back out and casts Incendio at the other professor’s long robes, setting them on fire. Headmistress Umbridge casts Petrificus Totalus at Masie, knocking her out of position and freezing her right arm up. Headmistress Umbridge directs the professors to get into the room while she deals with Masie. Tressie speaks up to defend herself. Masie tries to shut her up by elbowing her, but Tressie continues, claiming that she was trying to stop Masie from causing trouble. Masie notices that the professors are still casting spells at the wall and that some brick is not exposed. Masie casts Expelliarmus on Professor Ogalvee. Headmistress Umbridge casts Protego, expecting the spell to be toward her, but Masie’s spell causes Professor Ogalvee’s wand to be thrown from his wand. Masie’s wand also flies out of her hand. Suddenly, the door comes flying off its hinges from inside the Room of Requirement, and Professor Snape stands with his wand pointed. He addresses Headmistress Umbridge with a threat.

Ron, Olive, and Alex rush after Professor Snape to back him up. Ron provokes Headmistress Umbridge by calling her frog face and casting a spell. Snape and Ron continue to duel Headmistress Umbridge. Olive aims for Professor Ogalvee and casts Immobulus, which is meant to stop him entirely but only slows him down. Alex casts Wingardium Leviosa at Professor Ogalvee’s wand, but he twists his ankle in the process.

Meanwhile, Lilian and Cornelia hear the battle and notice Tressie and Masie struggling. Lilian and Cornelia decide that they like Masie more than Tressie, who insulted them when they had bad eyebrows. They ask Masie how they can help. Masie asks them to follow her. Tressie pulls her wand on them and casts Tarantallegra at Cornelia, but she sidesteps it. Lilian puts her arm in front of Cornelia and casts the Trip Jinx on Tressie, which is partially effective, causing Tressie to wobble. Masie tries to cast Incendio on Tressie, but it rebounds since she’s afraid of accidentally setting her on fire.

Meanwhile, Olive casts Averte Statum on the professor who put out the fire on himself, and it’s partially effective. Alex tries to cast Wingardium Leviosa on a rock with the intent of hitting Umbridge with it, but the spell backfires and lifts him up into the air and he hits the ground. Alex passes out. Olive casts Wingardium Leviosa on the same rock and flies it toward Umbridge, but she’s not able to hold it long enough to put it over her head. Instead, it drops on Umbridge’s arm. Ron and Snape manage to get a hit on Umbridge.

Lilian and Cornelia help Masie up and Masie tells them that they need to help Professor Snape, Olive, the Scorpion King, and the Ravenclaw boy, who are fighting against the Headmistress and some other professors. They make their way to the hallway and see Professor Snape, Olive, Alex on the ground, and Undesirable No. 2, Ronald Weasley, fighting the Headmistress, Professor Ogalvee, and Professor Hale. Cornelia and Lilian are confused and conflicted, but eventually decide to help Masie like they had promised because she’s part of their Slytherin family and because it’s exciting. Cornelia and Lilian charge into the battle and simultaneously cast spells at the Headmistress, Cornelia casting Petrificus Totalus and Lilian casting the Trip Jinx. Both spells hit the Headmistress, causing her to freeze up and fall over. Professor Hale and Ogalvee fight Ron and Snape. Olive casts Expelliarmus at Professor Ogalvee, causing his wand to drop to the ground. Masie asks Olive how she can help. Olive tells her to keep the room clear. Masie casts Immobulus at Professor Ogalvee, causing him to freeze. Ron casts Expelliarmus on Professor Hale, causing his wand to go flying. Professor Snape casts Petrificus Totalus on Professor Hale, who freezes. Ron asks who Masie, Cornelia, and Lilian are. Olive explains that they’re classmates. Professor Snape and Ron direct everyone into the room, including all the opposition. Dementors start to approach the hallway. Olive removes the wands of each of their opposers. Masie gives Olive a side hug. Lilian and Cornelia find Alex. Professor Snape says to bring him inside quickly. He then casts a Patronus. Cornelia and Lilian drag Alex into the room. Professor Snape realizes that they missed Tressie, who probably left to go tell others what happened. Olive has a bit of a tense conversation with Cornelia and Lilian. Masie tries to mediate by asking Cornelia and Lilian if they could imagine a school where everyone liked each other as much as they liked each other. Masie asks Olive if they can save Cornelia and Lilian too. Olive says that if it works, none of them should exist anymore. Masie asks what would happen if they failed. Olive says that failure is not an option. Professor Snape revives Alex with a Finite Incantatum, un-jinxing him. Lilian and Cornelia notice Scorpius talking to Hermione. Hermione says that they’ve narrowed it down to somewhere between 97 and 104 turns. Hermione says that she doesn’t think any of them except Scorpius could go. Scorpius hesitates because he had Albus last time. He doesn’t think he can do it alone. Professor Snape tells Scorpius that in this world, he is the Scorpion King, a confident Quidditch star, and that confidence is surely in him as well. Snape tells him that he’s a Malfoy and says that he can do it. Hermione decides on 98 turns. Suddenly, everyone experiences a horrific feeling of an inky blackness crawling on their skin. They hear the voice of Voldemort say that he knows that the Undesirables are at Hogwarts. He demands that they be driven out and turned over in 10 minutes or he will punished everyone. Alex asks Scorpius to tell the other him that he’s happy for him, and asks Scorpius to be his friend there. Cornelia and Lilian also try to give him a pep talk. The wall begins to rumble again. Professor Snape says that they’ve been found, and he tells Scorpius to start turning now. Lilian and Olive try to inspire Scorpius, but they don’t do well. The wall explodes, and debris goes flying. Ron is hit by the debris. He spins and gets covered in rubble. Professor Snape begins to set up protections. They see several people outside. They can hear Tressie yelling. At the end of the hall, they see Voldemort, who addresses Snape. Hermione rushes over to Ron. Snape makes a stand against Voldemort. Professor Snape and Voldemort begin to duel. Olive casts Incendio, but before it can go off, an errant spell hits her and spins her. Lilian casts a Trip Jinx, but it’s deflected onto a Death Eater. Cornelia casts Incendio, which is deflected to a Death Eater and then quickly put out. Alex casts Wingardium Leviosa on a rock and lifts it over, but then it’s blasted out of the air. Hermione stands up and tells Scorpius to go and tells him that he can do it. She turns and jumps into the battle. Scorpius runs behind a pillar in the room, pleads for Albus to help him, and begins to turn the Time Turner. Masie is hit by some debris and goes flying to the ground. Cornelia and Lilian are getting scraped and bruised as they fight. Alex is knocked out by a stray spell. Scorpius makes the 98th turn of the Time Turner. In the void, Scorpius calls out to Albus, “Albus no! We can’t! We made a mistake!”
