When Rose came up to me today in Potions and called me Bread Head I almost hugged her. No, there's no almost about it, I actually tried to hug her, and then she kicked me in the shin.
Harry Potter told his son you're a great man. [...] 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.
You know it's the strangest of things, but ever since being in the scariest place imaginable I'm pretty much good with fear. I am -- Scorpius the Dreadless. I am -- Malfoy the Unanxious.
"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 honor."
Scorpius trots up to his dad. Draco: We can hug too if you like... Scorpius looks at his dad, unsure for a moment. And then they sort of half hug in a very awkward way. Draco smiles.
"SCORPIUS: "We send a memory -- like a Pensieve -- stand over him and send a message, hope he reaches for the memory at exactly the right moment. I mean, it's unlikely, but . . . Stand over the baby -- and just repeatedly shout HELP. HELP. HELP. I mean, it might traumatize the baby slightly." ALBUS: "Only slightly."
I mean, normally, being in lockdown, being in constant detention, it'd break me, but now -- what's the worst they can do? Bring back Moldy Voldy and have him torture me? Nope.
"Albus hugs his friend. With fierceness. They hold for a beat. Scorpius is surprised by this. "Okay. Hello. Um. Have we hugged before? Do we hug?." The two boys dislocate."
Albus: First question. What do you know about the Triwizard tournament? Scorpius(happy): Ooooh, a quiz! Three schools pick three champions to compete in three tasks for one cup. What's that got to do with anything? Albus: You really are an enormous geek, you know that? Scorpius: Ya-huh.
