FIRST SCENE - FIFTH SCENE - SLYTER'S BED
Albus and Scorpius sit on Albus' bed in the dormitory. Both are silent.
ALBUS
My dad loves the color of Slyterin bedroom.
SCORPIUS
I think the color of Ravenclaw is nicer.
Meanwhile, Alice comes to them.
ALICE
Hello there!
ALBUS
You too.
SCORPIUS
What are you doing here? As you can see the two of us are talking here!
ALICE
What are you talking about?
SCORPIUS
What is that to you!
ALICE
I'm just trying to get a friendly start, get it! But if you don't want to, I can go.
SCORPIUS
But I don't know, do you realize we are 4 years older than you! Why don't you make friends with kids your age ?!
ALICE
Well… you also seem smaller than you are!
She chuckles.
SCORPIUS
Something funny Alice Hadley!
ALBUS
Never mind Scorpius, let it stay.
ALICE
So your name is Scorpius… you must be Albus Severus Potter too! Harry Potter's son!
ALBUS
Well yes. Please don't talk about it, I don't like it either.
SCORPIUS
Well Alice, introduce yourself.
ALICE
You already know my name! You don't need to know anything else about me!
Alice tries to change the subject.
ALICE
So, shall we be friends?
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
FIRST SCENE - SIXTH SCENE- HOGWARTS STAIRS
It is morning. Two buddies Albus and Scorpius are thinking about Alice's request for friendship last night. Yes or no? Although they know that they are forbidden to sit on the stairs, they sit on the stairs because there is nobody in sight.
ALBUS
Scorpius, you thought too! You just say yes or no!
SCORPIUS
Do not say that! Do you know what happens when you become a best friend? Just as you and I are inseparable right now, if we become best friends with him, we will not be able to separate!
ALBUS
But if we are best friends, we wouldn't want to part with each other anyway!
Scorpius thinks.
SCORPIUS
He's smaller than us. My answer is… NO!
ALBUS
Well, that's what you say. Does not matter for me. If this will be better for us… Well, we'll say NO.
They shake hands. Meanwhile, Alice approaches them as she descends the stairs.
ALICE
Hello there!
ALBUS
Alice we ...
Alice gleefully looks into Albus' eyes. The expected answer is YES. Albus realizes that the answer Alice is expecting from her eyes is YES. But when you say NO, he can't afford to make those lovely eyes cry. Tells lies.
ALBUS
Our answer is YES!
Scorpius was taken aback.
SCORPIUS
Hey! Dude we didn't talk like that!
Alice jumps with joy. Scorpius is angry at Albus' failure to stick to the plan. On the other hand, he thinks: "Albus could not afford to offend Alice; he dared to hurt me."
SCORPIUS
So be it! Have fun with you two heads!
He runs up the stairs and goes down. He's crying, but he tries not to show it. He wipes his tears with the back of his arm.
ALBUS
Stop Scorpius! Do not go!
He tries to run after him but cannot catch up. He looks at Alice. Alice is looking at Albus with her eyes wide open.
ALICE
So what are we doing, Potter?
