DRACO: "From Scorpius?"

GINNY: "Harry, you have one of the greatest hearts of any wizard who ever lived, and I do not believe your heart told you to do this."

HARRY looks at DRACO carefully and then turns away.

HARRY: "This is the right decision."

DRACO: "You've changed school timetables, you've threatened both teachers and Albus himself. Why?"

DRACO: "I'm not here to antagonize you. But my son is in tears and I am his father and so I am here to ask why you would keep apart two good friends."

After a moment, DRACO enters, consumed by anger but hiding it well.

DRACO: "I can't stay long. I won't need long."

She exits.

Saved by the door.

HARRY: "How can I help?"

HARRY: "You told me to be honest with him, but actually I needed to be honest with myself, trust what my heart was telling me…"

GINNY: "You almost sound convinced."

They hear a knock on the door.

HARRY: "I have to protect my son."

HARRY: "I'm not keeping them apart."

GINNY and HARRY watch each other warily. There is an argument due, and both of them know it.

DRACO: "And you've got sloppy, Potter. Densaugeo!"

HARRY: "Tarantallegra!"

HARRY: "Rictusempra!"

HARRY: "You do not want to do this."

The two square up. And then release their wands.

HARRY: "You've been practicing, Draco."

HARRY turns and looks DRACO dead in the eye.

But HARRY doesn't take it back.

DRACO: "Incarcerous!"

HARRY: "I don't want to hurt you, Draco."

DRACO: "What are you implying, Potter?"

DRACO and HARRY: "Expelliarmus!"

HARRY: "Bane told me he sensed a darkness around my son. Near my son."

HARRY just manages to get out of the way.

HARRY dodges a blast from DRACO's wand.

HARRY is sent twirling through the air. DRACO laughs.

There's a deadly silence.

Their wands repel and then break apart.

DRACO: "You take that back… right now."

DRACO throws himself out of the way.

So DRACO takes his wand out.

DRACO: "Yes, I do."

HARRY: "Are you sure… are you really sure he's yours, Draco?"

DRACO uses a chair to block the blast.

DRACO: "How interesting, because I do want to hurt you."

DRACO: "Flipendo!"

HARRY has to throw himself out of the way.

DRACO: "I wear it better."

DRACO is bound tightly.

DRACO releases himself from his blindfold as soon as it hits.

DRACO ducks underneath it and slows the chair with his wand.

HARRY: "Obscuro!"

HARRY: "We're the same age, Draco."

DRACO: "Mobilicorpus! Oh, this is too much fun…"

DRACO: "Keep up, old man."

DRACO: "Levicorpus!"

DRACO bounces HARRY up and down on the table. And then as HARRY rolls away, DRACO jumps onto the table -- he readies his wand, but as he does, HARRY hits him with a spell…

DRACO releases his own binds.

DRACO: "That really the best you got? Emancipare."

HARRY: "Brachiabindo!"

The two square up -- HARRY throws a chair.

GINNY: "I only left this room three minutes ago!" She looks at the mess of the kitchen. She looks at the chairs suspended in the air. She signals them back to the floor with her wand. (Drier than dry.) "What did I miss?"
