Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

SCORPIUS/HARRY tries to work out what to say.
SCORPIUS/HARRY: I know the — Voldemort thing isn’t — true — and — you know — but
sometimes, I think I can see my dad thinking: How did I produce this?
ALBUS/RON: Still better than my dad. I’m pretty sure he spends most of his time thinking: How
can I give him back?
DELPHI/HERMIONE tries to pull SCORPIUS/HARRY towards the bookshelves.
DELPHI/HERMIONE: Maybe if we could concentrate on the matter at hand.
SCORPIUS/HARRY: My point is, there’s a reason we’re friends, Albus — a reason we found each
other, you know? And whatever this — adventure — is about . . .
Then he spots a book on the shelf that makes him frown.
Have you seen the books on these shelves? There are some serious books here. Banned books.
Cursed books.
ALBUS/RON: How to distract Scorpius from difficult emotional issues. Take him to a library.
SCORPIUS/HARRY: All the books from the Restricted Section and then some. Magick Moste Evile.
Fifteenth-Century Fiends. Sonnets of a Sorcerer — that’s not even allowed in Hogwarts!
ALBUS/RON: Shadows and Spirits. The Nightshade Guide to Necromancy.
DELPHI/HERMIONE: They are quite something, aren’t they . . .
ALBUS/RON: The True History of the Opal Fire. The Imperius Curse and How to Abuse It.
SCORPIUS/HARRY: And lookee here. Whoa. My Eyes and How to See Past Them by Sybill
Trelawney. A book on Divination. Hermione Granger hates Divination. This is fascinating.
This is a find . . .
He pulls the book from the shelf. And it falls open. And speaks.
BOOK:
The first is the fourth, a disappointing mark.
You’ll find it in parked but not in park.
SCORPIUS/HARRY: Okay. A book that talks. Bit weird.
BOOK:
The second is the less fair of those who walk on two legs.
Grubby, hairy, a disease of the egg.
And the third is both a mountain to climb and a route to take.
