2017 – Albus and Scorpius are sorted into Slytherin whilst Rose, as expected, finds herself in Gryffindor. Harry is now the Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, Hermione is Minister for Magic, and Ron manages Weasley's Wizard Wheezes in Diagon Alley.

Albus forms an unexpected friendship with Scorpius, while his relationship with his father Harry takes a turn for the worse.

Albus and Scorpius steal a Time Turner with Delphi Diggory to save Cedric Diggory after he won the Triwizard Tournament – an event that takes place in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

2020: Albus and Scorpius use a time turner to travel back to 1994 and prevent Cedric Diggory from completing the first round of the Triwizard Tournament. When they return, they realise they've created an alternate timeline in which Ron and Hermione never married and thus Rose doesn't exist. Albus has been sorted in Gryffindor instead of Slytherin.

Albus and Scorpius return to the past again to stop Cedric completing the second task, and return to find Scorpius is now alone because in their alternate timeline, Voldemort killed Harry and won the Battle of Hogwarts (1998).

In this alternate timeline, Cedric became a Death Eater who eventually killed Neville Longbottom, therefore Neville never killed Nagini, Voldemort's final Horcrux. Dolores Umbridge is headmistress, and Snape is still alive.

Scorpius, however, convinces Snape they're living in an alternate timeline, using his knowlege of Snape's love for Lily Potter. Eventually, Scorpius returns to the past to fix what he and Albus messed up. They return to their timeline, and are scolded by their (very alive) parents.

Delphi, the daughter of Tom Riddle and Bellatrix Lestrange, arrives on the scene and wages war in honour of her father. They all return to 1995 and complete the third task of the Triwizard Tournament (1995).

The events of the tournament unfold more or less as intended, with Cedric dying. Delphi destroys the Time Turner and leaves Albus and Scorpius on October 30, 1981, the day Harry's parents death.

Realising that Delphi is going to try and stop Voldemort from killing the Potters, Albus and Scorpius communicate to Harry, Ron, and Hermione in 2020 what is going on. The trio arrive in the past, stop Delphi.

They return to 2020, as it was at the beginning of The Cursed Child.
