Things Draco Malfoy said in the Cursed Child:
• “Never really fancied being a Ministry man. Even as a child. My dad, it’s all he ever wanted — me, no. (…) Mainly I wanted to be happy”
• “Astoria was frail. (…) I didn’t want to risk her health, I said it didn’t matter whether the Malfoy line died with me — whatever my father said”
• “I think you have to make a choice — at a certain point — of the man you want to be. And I tell you that at that time you need a parent or a friend. And if you’ve learnt to hate your parent by then and you have no friends … then you’re all alone. And being alone — that’s so hard. I was alone. And it sent me to a truly dark place. For a long time”
• “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”
• “We have to find them — if it takes centuries, we must find our sons”
• “Maybe the black cloud Bane saw was Albus’s loneliness. His pain. His hatred. Don’t lose the boy. You’ll regret it. And so will he. Because he needs you, and Scorpius, whether or not he now knows it”
• “Our child, Scorpius, was born … it was the best day of both our lives”
• “I would sell my soul for another minute with Astoria”
• “I need my son back with me and safe”
• “It is exceptionally lonely, being Draco Malfoy. I will always be suspected. There is no escaping the past”
• “We can hug too if you like”
• “There are times I wish you weren’t my son”
