This is a nice room.

ALBUS turns, he nods at his dad. He's being cautious too.

HARRY (failing to contain his anger): "If you were trying to do as I did, you went the wrong way about it. I didn't volunteer for adventure, I was forced into it. You did something really reckless -- something really stupid and dangerous -- something that could have destroyed everything --"

He sits down uncomfortably.

HARRY: "Can you explain why you tried to do this?"

No luck, as yet, with the Time-Turner searching. They're negotiating with the Merpeople to dredge the lake.

HARRY: "Thanks for letting me come up."

HARRY: "Of course it's unfair, Albus, don't you think I know that? I was there. I saw him die. But to do this… to risk all this…

ALBUS: "I know.

ALBUS: "Green is a soothing color, isn't it? I mean Gryffindor rooms are all well and good but the trouble with red is -- it is said to send you a little mad -- not that I'm casting aspersions…"

ALBUS is sitting in his room. HARRY enters and looks at his son -- full of anger, but cautious to not let it spill.

ALBUS: "I thought I could -- change things. I thought Cedric -- it's unfair."

HARRY: "Well, I was wrong too -- to think Scorpius was Voldemort's son. He wasn't a black cloud."

HARRY: "Is that how I make you feel?"

ALBUS looks at his dad, trying to figure him out.

ALBUS: "I don't think Scorpius said, but when we returned after failing to fix the first task, I was suddenly in Gryffindor House. Nothing was better between us then either -- so -- the fact that I'm in Slytherin -- that's not the reason for our problems. It's not just about that."

HARRY: "And I've locked away the map. You won't see it again. Your mum left your room exactly as it was when you ran away -- you know that? Wouldn't let me go in -- wouldn't let anyone go in -- you really scared her… And me."

HARRY: "No. I know. It's not just about that."

ALBUS: "Really scared you?"

HARRY: "Are you okay, Albus?"

HARRY: "Yes."

ALBUS: "I thought Harry Potter wasn't afraid of anything?"

ALBUS: "No."

HARRY: "No. Nor me."

ALBUS: "No."

Pause. ALBUS wipes away a tear, HARRY notices it and takes a breath. He pulls himself back from the brink.

HARRY looks at ALBUS.

ALBUS: "I know. Okay. I know."
