ACT THREE, SCENE FOUR

HOGWARTS, LIBRARY

SCORPIUS enters the library and starts desperately to look through books. He finds a history book.

SCORPIUS: How did Cedric become a Death Eater? What have I missed? Find me some — light in

the darkness.

CRAIG BOWKER JR.: Why are you here?

SCORPIUS turns to look at a rather desperate-looking CRAIG.

SCORPIUS: Why can’t I be here?

CRAIG BOWKER JR.: It’s not ready yet. I’m working as fast as I can. But Professor Snape sets so

much of it, and writing the essay in two different ways. I mean, I’m not complaining . . .

Sorry.

SCORPIUS: Start again. From the beginning. What’s not ready?

CRAIG BOWKER JR.: Your Potions homework. And I’m happy to do it — grateful even — and I

know you hate homework and books and I never let you down, you know that.

SCORPIUS: I — hate — homework?

CRAIG BOWKER JR.: You’re the Scorpion King. Of course you hate homework. What are you doing

with A History of Magic? I could do that assignment too?

Pause. SCORPIUS looks at CRAIG a moment and then throws him the history book. CRAIG exits,

clutching it.
