Ron Weasley
Rose Granger-Weasley is Ron and Hermione’s daughter. She is headstrong, good at school and Quidditch, and often participates in bullying Albus and Scorpius. After Scorpius and Albus return from trying to change the first Triwizard Tournament task, they discover that they have altered the timeline so that Ron and Hermione never got married, and therefore Rose doesn’t exist. Scorpius also has a crush on Rose and asks her out at the end of the play when the primary timeline is restored.

Part 1, Act 1, Scene 3 Quotes
ROSE: The rumor is that he’s Voldemort’s son, Albus.
A horrible, uncomfortable silence.
It’s probably rubbish. I mean… look, you’ve got a nose.
The tension is slightly broken. SCORPIUS laughs, pathetically grateful.
SCORPIUS: And it’s just like my father’s! I got his nose, his hair, and his name. Not that that’s a great thing either. I mean—father-son issues, I have them. But, on the whole, I’d rather be a Malfoy than, you know, the son of the Dark Lord.

Part 1, Act 2, Scene 12 Quotes
ALBUS enters and walks up one staircase.
SCORPIUS enters and walks up another.
The staircases meet. The two boys look at each other.
Lost and hopeful—all at once.
And then ALBUS looks away and the moment is broken—and with it, possibly, the friendship.
And now the staircases part—the two look at each other—one full of guilt—the other full of pain—both full of unhappiness.

Part 1, Act 2, Scene 16 Quotes
SCORPIUS: Have you heard me, Albus? This is bigger than you and your dad. Professor Croaker’s law—the furthest someone can go back in time without the possibility of serious harm to the traveler or time itself is five hours. And we went back years. The smallest moment, the smallest change, it creates ripples. And we—we’ve created really bad ripples. Rose was never born because of what we did. Rose.
