He can immediately see why she was sorted into Gryffindor, and how she could have made someone like Severus Snape fall so entirely for her. She reminds him, again, of Albus, and not just because of her eyes.
She keeps talking, about the men that everyone knows of as The Marauders in Scorpius' time, and Scorpius just won't mention that none of them survive both wars either, and oh-- should he say something about Peter Pettigrew?
I don't think he likes me very much sometimes.
Maybe he should say something about Peter Pettigrew. Everything's all weird, but-- but he should say something, right? Or would that only make the likelihood of a betrayal in this timeline even greater, because he'd have implanted distrust?
Time travel conundrums give him a bloody headache sometimes.
He draws up a smile of his own, trying to look far more confident than he feels. "If we can figure out when and how this timeline diverged from the one I'm from, as well as find a way back to correct that, then it'll be as though all this never happened." He speaks with the surety of someone who's done something like that before. Funny, that. "But that's easier said than done. Until then, whatever Riddle's longterm plans are, we need to put a stop to them."
