Setting: Gryffindor Common Room
Trigger Warnings: I don't think so?
All students from the previous scene, as well as various other Gryffindor and Slytherin students, enter. Everyone is terrified of the troll in the dungeon, all except for Scorpius and Lily, who are more than happy to have this opportunity to be together. James and Louis enter. James is not pleased with this arrangement, but he decides to take a different approach to this relationship currently being shoved down his throat. Louis tries to stop him.
Louis: James. James, allow it. James-
James (mockingly): Hello there, children!
Lily (not having it): What is it now, James?
James (overly optimistic): Oh nothing! I'm just making sure you two are doing alright and not getting too handsy that's all, since you're both - y'know - children.
Louis (disappointed, but not surprised): I can't keep defending you like this, blud.
Lily: Yeah, I agree with Louis. You did this for what?
James (slightly cutting the act): Why not?
A beat.
Lily: Why though?
Albus (now offstage): James! Would you mind helping with Jake?! He's touching this sticky, rubbery thing!
James: Oh no Jake, put that down, that's disgusting!
Louis: WhO wAs-?!
Jake (offstage): RAHH, WHY WAS IT BETWEEN THE COUCH CUSHIONS?!
James and Louis exit. Lily and Scorpius sit on the couch next to each other.
Lily: Don't mind him, he's obviously trying to meddle with our love lives again.
Scorpius: Y'know, it's times like this when eloping doesn't seem like that bad of an idea.
Lily: Exactly, and - come to think of it, if we elope to the Shrieking Shack, we won't have to pay taxes, will we?
Scorpius: Not property taxes, but we'd need to pay for other things like food, water and insulation.
Lily: We have a ton of spells for the last two, but you may have a point about food.
Scorpius: Thankfully, I get my apparation license in less than a year, so I could just scoot over to Hogsmeade if needed.
Lily: Either way, we're gonna need to get part-time jobs in the summer to provide for ourselves while we're not at school...
As Scorpius and Lily continue fantasizing about eloping, we pan across the room to Jack and Jason sitting against the wall on the floor. They're listening in on the conversation.
Jack: They've only been going together for how long?
Jason: Well, we jumped Potter on the first, so, assuming Malfoy bare pulled a Romeo that night, I'd assume they've been going for... What's it been? Three days?
Jack: Rahh, and I know they're not chatting about "eLoPiNg" already, fam!
Jason: Right?! I mean, they're bare fourteen and sixteen years old still, blud! How're they gonna provide for themselves at fourteen and sixteen years old?!
Jack: Beats me, bruv- But then again, my grime mixtapes have been selling pretty well, so it can't be that hard to make a living as a young g still.
Jason: Valid, valid. You're gonna make bare bank off those one day, blud.
Jack: You think?
Jason: Yeah! I've listened to those bangers; You, my g, have bare talent still!
Jack: Thanks, my guy.
Jason: Say less, fam.
They see Scorpius and Lily laughing together, in their own little world. As they kiss, Jason looks over to Jack, changing tones.
Jason cont.: They really love each other, don't they?
Jack: It's clear to see. Now, the PDA's a bit bait still, but, solely because it gets J. Potter bare vexed, I hope they get married and have, like, three young gs.
Jason: Couldn't agree more, blud.
Jake walks up and sits down next to his brothers.
Jake: Wagwhan, boys, Mumsy wants us to hit up Maisie and check on her. Anyone want to?
Jack: I'm sure she's doing nang still, blud, but I'll text her if it'll get Mum off our backs.
Jack takes out his phone, and types something, presumably a message to the boys' younger sister, Maisie, a Hufflepuff in Lily's year.
Jason: I'd assume she's still bare bawling her eyes out over Chapman?
Jake: Yeah, fam. I heard she didn't even get out of bed this morning.
Jason (somewhat worried): She's not down there still, is she?
Jake: I hope not. She may be a bit buki, but she's our sister still, fam. I'd hate to see anything bad happen to her.
A beat as Jack gets a response.
Jack: She's fine. Weasley went down and got her.
Jake: Which one?
Jack: Lucy, I'd assume.
Jason: Ah, yeah, Lucy "Save-the-turtles" Weasley. She's a bare VSCO girl, In'she?
Jake: Unfortunately, yes. The girl's bare stuck in 2019 still, bruv.
Jack: Bait, that one. I'm telling you.
Jason: And Zabini thinks she's peng still!
Jake: I mean, outside of all that VSCO rubbish, she's reasonably peng, but, is she leng (leans in, quieter) like You-know-who?
Jason: Rahh, you still down bad for Jasmine, fam?
Jake: Yeah, bruv. I mean, look at her.
The boys look across the room at fourth-year Slytherin, Jasmine Nott, talking and giggling with her best friend, fifth-year Slytherin, Natalie Flint, Lucas' twin sister. Jake has been head over heels in love with Jasmine for years but has yet to find the courage to tell her.
Jake cont.: (smiles sweetly) She's the real cweet one still. I just wish I had the balls to chirps her... Maybe that's why I don't mind Malfoy and the Potter girl's PDA as much as I thought I would.
We pan to James, Louis and Albus, who are coming up with theories on who let the troll into the dungeon in the first place. James looks behind him to see Scorpius and Lily being affectionate with one another. He's had it.
James: OI, GET A HOTEL ROOM YOU TOUCH STARVED DINGHEDS!
Scorpius and Lily laugh at James' word choices and kiss once more. Louis and Albus crack up as well.
Exit
AN: The way Jake is lowkey a softie.🥺
I need to give the triplets a redemption arc at some point.
