Severus Snape ALBUS pulls on HARRY’s robes. HARRY looks down.
Do you think – what if I am – what if I’m put in Slytherin...
HARRY
And what would be wrong with that?
ALBUS
Slytherin is the house of the snake, of Dark Magic... it’s not a house of brave wizards.
HARRY
Albus Severus, you were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.
ALBUS
But just say...
HARRY
If it matters to you, you, the Sorting Hat will take your feelings
into account.
ALBUS
Really?
HARRY
It did for me.

SNAPE
Did no one teach you to knock, boy?
SCORPIUS looks up at SNAPE, slightly breathless, slightly unsure, slightly exultant.
SCORPIUS
Severus Snape. This is an honour.
SNAPE
Professor Snape will do fine. You may behave like a king at this school Malfoy, but that doesn’t make us all your subjects.

SCORPIUS
You loved his mother. I don’t remember everything. I know you loved his mother. Harry’s mother. Lily. I know you spent years undercover. I know without you the war could never have been won. How would I know this if I hadn’t seen the other world... ?
SNAPE says nothing, overwhelmed.
Only Dumbledore knew, am I right? And when you lost him you must have felt so alone. I know you’re a good man. Harry Potter told his son you’re a great man.

SNAPE
Harry Potter is dead.
SCORPIUS
Not in my world. He said you were the bravest man he’d ever met. He knew, you see – he knew your secret – what you did for Dumbledore. And he admired you for it – greatly. And that’s why he named his son – my best friend – after you both. Albus Severus Potter.
SNAPE is stopped. He is deeply moved.
Please – for Lily, for the world, help me.

SNAPE
You were a terrible bore of a student and you’re a terrible bore of –
whatever you are.
HERMIONE
I was an excellent student.
SNAPE
You were moderate to average.

RON
Granger here is a wanted woman. I’m a wanted man.
SNAPE (dryly)
Less-wanted.

HERMIONE
And – Snape? What does Snape do in this other world?
SNAPE
I’m dead, presumably.

SNAPE
How [am I dead]?
SCORPIUS
Bravely.
SNAPE
Who?
SCORPIUS
Voldemort.
SNAPE
How very irritating.
There’s a silence as SNAPE digests this.
Still, there’s glory in being taken down by the Dark Lord himself, I suppose.
HERMIONE
I’m sorry, Severus.
SNAPE looks at her, and then swallows the pain. He indicates RON with a flick of his head.
SNAPE
Well, at least I’m not married to him.

SNAPE
Then it’s just me and the boy.
HERMIONE
No offence, Snape, but I’m not trusting this to anyone... it’s too important.

HERMIONE
We get this right, Harry’s alive, Voldemort’s dead and the Augurey is gone. For that no risk is too great. Though I am sorry what it will cost you.
SNAPE
Sometimes costs are made to be borne.
The two look at each other, SNAPE nods, HERMIONE nods back, SNAPE’s face crumbles slightly.
I didn’t just quote Dumbledore, did I?
HERMIONE (with a smile)
No, I’m pretty sure that’s pure Severus Snape.
