Harry Potter and the Cursed Child 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.

DRACO looks up at HARRY, and for the first time – at the bottom of this dreadful pit – they look at each other as friends.

HARRY
And anyway – it has to be me.
Everyone turns to HARRY.
DRACO
What?
HARRY
For this plan to work she has to believe it’s him, without hesitation. She’ll use Parseltongue – and I knew there was a reason why I still have that ability. But more than that, I – know what it is to feel – like him. I know what it is to be him. It has to be me.
RON
Rubbish. Beautifully put, but beautiful rubbish. No way are you going to—
HERMIONE
I’m afraid you’re right, my old friend.

DRACO
Hermione Granger, I’m being bossed around by Hermione Granger. (She turns towards him, he smiles.) And I’m mildly enjoying it.
SCORPIUS
Dad...

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?

HARRY
I don’t understand your head, Albus – actually, you know what, you’re a teenager, I shouldn’t be able to understand your head, but I do understand your heart. I didn’t – for a long time – but thanks to this – ‘escapade’ – I know what you got in there. Slytherin, Gryffindor, whatever label you’ve been given – I know – know – that heart is a good one – yeah, whether you like it or not, you’re on your way to being some wizard.
ALBUS
Oh, I’m not going to be a wizard, I’m going into pigeon racing. I’m quite excited about it.

SCORPIUS appears at the back of the stage. He looks at his friend talking to a girl – and part of him likes it and part of him doesn’t.
