[Scorpius had been about to tell him to maybe consider keeping his voice down when Albus came to the conclusion himself. Scorpius has done something like this before, he knows a little better how to hide his horror at the situation.

Allow him to tick off all the reasons the situation is horrible.]

Probably we should, yes. And here's what else. [are you ready. he casts a quick muffliato, then proceeds to literally tick these off on his fingers] There's no Order of the Phoenix, far as I can tell. Lily and James aren't married, and Harry Potter isn't born here, even though he should be by now. There's a whole-- registry going on for muggleborns and half-bloods, and they have a curfew. It's supposed to be to protect them from these "disappearances" that have been happening but... [Scorpius gives Albus a meaningful look. That's complete bullshit, obviously. And yes the scare-quotes were definitely there they were completely verbal] And the weird part is that no one's done anything against it! Or, more likely, they tried and, well, it is Voldemort... It's not as bad as what I saw before, but-- give it a few more decades...
