Albus Potter GINNY
You know, after I’d opened the Chamber of Secrets – after Voldemort had bewitched me with that terrible diary and I’d almost destroyed everything—
HARRY
I remember.
GINNY
After I came out of hospital – everyone ignored me, shut me out – other than, that is, the boy who had everything – who came across the Gryffindor common room and challenged me to a game of Exploding Snap. People think they know all there is to know about you, but the best bits of you are – have always been – heroic in really quiet ways. My point is – after this is over, just remember if you could – that sometimes people – but particularly children – just want someone to play Exploding Snap with.
HARRY
You think that’s what we’re missing – Exploding Snap?
GINNY
No. But the love I felt from you that day – I’m not sure Albus feels that.

HARRY
Albus and Scorpius are not disappearing and reappearing – they’re travelling. Travelling in time.

SCORPIUS
Still, if I had to choose a companion to be at the return of eternal darkness with, I’d choose you.
ALBUS
No offence, but I’d choose someone massive and really good at magic.

HARRY
Poor kid thought he had to save the world.
GINNY
Poor kid has saved the world. That blanket was masterful. I mean, he also almost destroyed the world, but probably best not to focus on that bit.

ALBUS
And it’s something I should have said a long time ago. In fact, you’re probably the best person I know. And you don’t – you couldn’t – hold me back – you make me stronger – and when Dad forced us apart – without you—
SCORPIUS
I didn’t much like my life without you in it either.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
So to be clear – you illegally jumped off the Hogwarts Express, you invaded and stole from the Ministry of Magic, you took it upon yourself to change time, whereupon you disappeared two people—
ALBUS
I agree it doesn’t sound good.
PROFESSOR McGONAGALL
And your response to disappearing Hugo and Rose Granger-Weasley was to go back in time again – and this time – instead of losing two people you lost a huge number of people and
killed your father – and in doing so you resurrected the worst wizard the world has ever known and heralded in a new age of Dark Magic. (Dry.) You’re correct, Mr Potter, it doesn’t sound good does it? Are you aware how stupid you’ve been?
SCORPIUS
Yes, Professor.
ALBUS hesitates a moment. He looks at HARRY.
ALBUS
Yes.

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.

ALBUS
Do you know what I’m really good at?
HARRY
There’s plenty you’re good at, Albus.

ALBUS
And I know I’ll always be Harry Potter’s son – and I will sort that out in my head – and I know compared to you my life is pretty good really and that he and I are comparatively lucky and—
SCORPIUS (interrupting)
Albus, as apologies go this is wonderfully fulsome, but you’re starting to talk more about you than me again, so probably better to quit while you’re ahead.

SNAPE
You’re a king, and I’m a professor. They’ll only attack with good reason. Think about those you love, think about why you’re doing this.
SCORPIUS
I can hear my mother. She wants me – my – help but she knows I can’t – help.
SNAPE
Listen to me, Scorpius. Think about Albus. You’re giving up your kingdom for Albus, right?
