Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

AMOS: Your information was obvious but the confirmation is useful. Your father did lie. Now
leave. The pair of you. And stop wasting my time.
ALBUS (with power and strength): No, you need to listen to me, you said it yourself — how much
blood is on my father’s hands. Let me help you change that. Let me help correct one of his
mistakes. Trust me.
AMOS (his voice raised): Did you not hear me, boy? I see no reason to trust you. So go. Now.
Before I make you leave.
He raises his wand ominously. ALBUS looks at the wand — he deflates — AMOS has crushed
him.
SCORPIUS: Come on, mate, if there’s one thing we’re good at it’s knowing where we’re not
wanted.
ALBUS is reluctant to leave. SCORPIUS pulls him by the arm. He turns and they walk away.
DELPHI: I can think of one reason why you should trust them, Uncle.
They stop.
They’re the only ones volunteering to help. They’re prepared to bravely put themselves at risk
to return your son to your side. In fact, I’m pretty sure they put themselves at risk even getting
here . . .
AMOS: This is Cedric we’re talking about . . .
DELPHI: And — didn’t you say yourself, having someone inside Hogwarts might be a massive
advantage?
DELPHI kisses the top of AMOS’s head. AMOS looks at DELPHI, and then turns to look at the
boys.
AMOS: Why? Why do you want to put yourself at risk? What’s in it for you?
ALBUS: I know what it is to be the spare. Your son didn’t deserve to be killed, Mr. Diggory. We
can help you get him back.
AMOS (finally showing emotion): My son — my son was the best thing that ever happened to me
— and you’re right, it was an injustice — a gross injustice. If you’re serious . . .
ALBUS: We’re deadly serious.
AMOS: This is going to be dangerous.
ALBUS: We know.
