2020s

The following events occurred in the 2020s:

Original Timeline

 * 30 August, 2020: Hermione Granger, now Minister for Magic, shows Harry that in a raid of Theodore Nott's home, they have found another new, improved Time-Turner.
 * 31 August, 2020:
 * Amos Diggory visits Harry Potter in his house, having heard rumors of Nott's Time-Turner, and begging to go back 25 years and save his son Cedric. Albus, sitting on the stairs and listening in, meets Delphi Diggory, Amos' niece and carer. The two come up with a plan to save Cedric.
 * Harry Potter has an argument with his son Albus. Albus rejects the gift he offers of the blanket Harry's mother wrapped it in. The blanket is thrown across the room in the argument, and hits a Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes love potion Ron had given, spilling it on the blanket.
 * Delphi goes to Hogwarts to steal ingredients for Polyjuice Potion.
 * 1 September, 2020:
 * On the way to Hogwarts for their fourth year, Albus convinces his best friend Scorpius Malfoy to jump off the Hogwarts Express and help Delphi to save Cedric. The Trolley witch attempts to stop them leaving, but they make it out.
 * 2 September, 2020:
 * Harry and Hermione call a meeting at the Ministry of Magic about the disappearance of the two boys, and the new movements of Lord Voldemort's old forces.
 * Albus, Scorpius and Delphi use Polyjuice to become Ron, Harry and Hermione. They break into the Minister for Magic's office and steal the Time-Turner.
 * In the night, Harry has a nightmare of his son Albus in Durmstrang robes.
 * 3 September, 2020:
 * In the Forbidden Forest, Albus and Scorpius dress in Durmstrang robes to fit in when they arrive at the First Task. They turn back to 24 November, 1994, hoping to disarm Cedric in the First Task and thereby affect his chances in the Third Task, so that he does not win, and therefore is not killed by Voldemort. However, the boys are reckless in their time travel, and in going back, they create a new, revised timeline. This effectively erases the original timeline from existence.

First Revised Timeline

 * Harry tells his son Albus to keep away from Scorpius Malfoy, and to stay in Gryffindor Common Room. He is surprised to hear that he is in Gryffindor, having been sorted into Slytherin in the original timeline he came from.
 * Albus discovers that Ron is married to Padma and Hermione if the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, and is worried to find out that because Hermione and Ron are not married in this timeline their children Rose and Hugo do not exist. He is also disappointed to find out that Cedric Diggory is still dead.
 * September-October, 2020: Albus reluctantly avoids Scorpius. They discover the events of the Yule Ball, and how that changed things to how they are in this first revised timeline.
 * 22 October, 2020: Albus and Scorpius talk to each other despite Harry's warnings. Albus believes that they can still save Cedric if they use an Engorgement Charm at the Second Task to make him fail that task. They use Moaning Myrtle's Bathroom to get into the lake. They turn back to 24 February, 1995 to engorge Cedric and thereby affect his chances in the Second Task even further, so that he does not win, and therefore is not killed by Voldemort. However, the boys are reckless in their time travel, and in going back, they create another new, revised timeline. This effectively erases the first revised timeline from existence.

Second Revised Timeline

 * 22 October, 2020: In the Black Lake, Scorpius returns from 24 February, 1995 of this new second revised timeline. In returning, he keeps his memories from the original timeline he came from, however they arrive in the body of himself from this timeline. Due to Albus having never been born in this timeline, Albus disappears from existence. Scorpius still has the Time Turner. He is found at the lake by Headmistress Umbridge, telling him he is ruining Voldemort Day.
 * 29 October, 2020:
 * A week after being found in the lake, Scorpius finds Professor Snape, surprised to find him still alive. He confronts him about his true nature, proving that he is from an alternate timeline. Snape takes him to Harry and Hermione, and they go to the Forbidden Forest to turn back to the First Task and cast a Shield Charm to stop Albus and Scorpius from interfering. Snape sacrifices himself to the Dementors to buy them time.
 * The three turn back to 24 November, 1994 to stop Albus and Scorpius' Disarming Charm, as the first of two necessary to return things to how they were in the original timeline. By interfering, they create another new, reasonably similar third revised timeline, as the Engorgement Charm at the Second Task still occurs. This effectively erases the second revised timeline from existence.

Third Revised Timeline

 * 29 October, 2020:
 * Scorpius finds Professor Snape, surprised to find him still alive. He confronts him about his true nature, proving that he is from an alternate timeline. Snape takes him to Harry and Hermione, and they go to the Forbidden Forest to turn back to the First Task and cast a Shield Charm to stop Albus and Scorpius from interfering. Snape sacrifices himself to the Dementors to buy them time.
 * Ron suffers a bad leg injury.
 * Scorpius, Ron and Hermione return from 24 November, 1994 of this new third revised timeline. In returning, they keep their memories from the original timeline they came from, however they arrive in the bodies of their selves from this timeline. Ron is surprised to suddenly feel the leg injury his third revised timeline self suffered.
 * Ron and Hermione kiss and sacrifice themselves to the Dementors to buy Scorpius time to get to the lake.
 * Scorpius turns back to 24 February, 1995 to stop him Albus' Engorgement Charm, as the second of the two necessary to return things to how they were in the original timeline. By interfering, they create another fourth revised timeline, almost identical to the original. This effectively erases the third revised timeline from existence.

Fourth Revised Timeline

 * 29 October, 2020:
 * Scorpius and Albus return from 24 February, 1995 of this new fourth revised timeline, returning with Albus after his earlier disappearance. In returning, they keep their memories from the previous timelines they came from, however they arrive in the bodies of their selves from this timeline. They are fortunately still healthy, and Albus returns to corporeal existence as he exists again in this timeline. Scorpius pretends they have lost the Time Turner in the lake. Scorpius explains to Albus what happened in the second and third revised timelines.
 * In the night, Scorpius wakes Albus. They decide to destroy the Time Turner. Albus sends an owl to Delphi to join them.
 * 30 October, 2020:
 * Draco Malfoy reveals to Harry that he has another Time Turner.
 * As they prepare to destroy Nott's Time Turner, Delphi turns up. Scorpius works out that she is secretly evil when she reveals her tattoo is of an augury, recognizing the name of the title she had in the second and third revised timelines for Lord Voldemort. She kidnaps them, taking them down to the Quidditch Pitch, and reveals herself to be the secret daughter of Lord Voldemort.
 * Delphi takes Albus and Scorpius back to 24 June, 1995 to humiliate Cedric and make him fail the Third Task, hoping it will make him turn into a Death Eater, like in the second and third revised timelines. They are careful, however, and ensure that their actions do not create a new timeline, and so still take place in this timeline. The fourth revised timeline continues.
 * 31 October, 2020:
 * On Hallowe'en, as it is the anniversary of Harry's parent's deaths, as usual, Harry returns to Albus' room to hold his blanket once again. He finds the burned message due to the love potion, that Albus left for him 39 years prior in the timeline.
 * Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco turn back to 31 October, 1981, which is the root timeline before the points of divergence of all the other timelines, using the Malfoy Time Turner, so as to save Albus and Scorpius. They are careful, however, and ensure that they don't create a diverging timeline, so that their actions take place in the same timeline. The fourth revised timeline continues.
 * They all return from 31 October, 1981, and put Delphi in Azkaban.


 * June, 2021: Harry and Albus go for a walk to Cedric's grave.
