[Scorpius nods solemnly. With the rate things are going, Scorpius doubts it'll take until this timeline's version of himself can come up with the idea for them to start keeping muggleborns in the dungeons at Hogwarts to "practice" on. He shudders at the memory.]
It's-- possible? Likely as anything else, I suppose. I don't know how she would have gotten out of Azkaban and gotten her hands on a Time Turner without anyone noticing, or how that would lead to us being in 1980, considering whatever happened to make him Minister was over a decade before now, but-- [Scorpius shrugs. He has no idea] I haven't heard anything about "the Augurey" and you know how she was about that.
[And another train of thought:] Albus-- if they make you register, for being from the future I mean-- don't let them find out your gran was a muggleborn. Both your parents have names that, far as anyone knows here, are strictly pureblood families. If they decide to count you as a half-blood, they'll put a trace on you and then you'll have all these restrictions and the curfew. If you're a pureblood, all they do is mark your name down, and what year you're from, that's all I had to do.
[It's a shitty thing to have to lie about, but better to have every advantage they can get.]
