[It's been a few months since he's seen Scorpius so worked up. The last time was over his final NEWT exam. Albus thought he was going to suffer a heart attack if he didn't de-stress.]
Breathe, Scorpius. It's ok. Really. I know we're in some mad timeline but I doubt that anyone actually reads these things. Especially when it's someone else's conversation. But all right, yes, I probably shouldn't have put my name out there. Of course, I did meet with my Grandmum and told her my name out in the open a few hours ago...
[Albus pauses, now wondering if it had been a good idea to meet with anyone outside of Scorpius.]
I'm sorry, all right? But honestly, I didn't realize who I was speaking to. I understand that's not much of an excuse... but really, just because I'm named after Albus Dumbledore doesn't mean much here. I'm not him, am I? And Gellert Grindelwald is young. Probably our age if not younger. I don't think we're talking full grown Dark Lord levels, after all. I was careless, I admit it, but honestly, I think we'll be all right.
