Scorpius Malfoy ALBUS
I can’t, okay?
SCORPIUS
You can’t what?
ALBUS
Just – we’ll be better off without each other, okay?
SCORPIUS is left looking up after him. Heartbroken.

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.

DELPHI
Albus needs you, Scorpius. That’s a wonderful thing.
SCORPIUS
He needs me to do what?
DELPHI
That’s the thing isn’t it? About friendships. You don’t know what he needs. You only know he needs it. Find him Scorpius. You two – you belong together.

DRACO
I can’t talk to him either. Scorpius. Especially since – Astoria has gone. I can’t even talk about how losing her has affected him. As hard as I try, I can’t reach him. You can’t talk to Albus. I can’t talk to Scorpius. That’s what this is about. Not about my son being evil. Because as much as you might take the word of a haughty centaur, you know the power of friendship.

HARRY
I need to protect him—
DRACO
My father thought he was protecting me. Most of the time. I think you have to make a choice – at a certain point – of the man you want to be. And I tell you that at that time you need a parent or a friend. And if you’ve learnt to hate your parent by then and you have no friends... then you’re all alone. And being alone – that’s so hard. I was alone. And it sent me to a truly dark place. For a long time. Tom Riddle was also a lonely child. You may not understand that Harry, but I do – and I think Ginny does too.
GINNY
He’s right.

DRACO
Tom Riddle didn’t emerge from his dark place. And so Tom Riddle became Lord Voldemort. Maybe the black cloud Bane saw was Albus’s loneliness. His pain. His hatred. Don’t lose the boy. You’ll regret it. And so will he. Because he needs you, and Scorpius, whether or not he now knows it.

SCORPIUS
Professor Croaker’s law – the furthest someone can go back in time without the possibility of serious harm to the traveller 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.

ALBUS
Who’s saying that we’ll get it wrong?
SCORPIUS
I say. Because that’s what we do. We mess things up. We lose. We’re losers, true and total losers. Haven’t you realised that yet?
ALBUS finally gets the upper hand and pins SCORPIUS to the ground.
ALBUS
Well, I wasn’t a loser before I met you.
SCORPIUS
Albus, whatever you’ve got to prove to your dad – this isn’t the way—

SCORPIUS
Oh poor Albus Potter. With his chip on his shoulder. Poor Albus Potter. So sad.
ALBUS
What are you saying?
SCORPIUS (exploding)
Try my life! People look at you because your dad’s the famous Harry Potter, saviour of the wizarding world. People look at me because they think my dad is Voldemort. Voldemort.

SCORPIUS
Can you even slightly imagine what that’s like? Have you even ever tried? No. Because you can’t see beyond the end of your nose. Because you can’t see beyond the end of your stupid thing with your dad. He will always be Harry Potter, you know that right? And you will always be his son. And I know it’s hard, and the other kids are awful but you have to learn to be okay with that, because – there are worse things, okay?
