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. Tell me your secrets. What have I missed?
CRAIG BOWKER JR.: Why are you here?
SCORPIUS turns to look at a rather desperate-looking CRAIG, his clothes tattered and worn.
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 walks away. CRAIG exits.
After a moment SCORPIUS returns with a frown.
SCORPIUS: Did he say Snape?
