Summary
Analysis
In McGonagall’s office, Ginny emerges from the fireplace, followed by Harry. McGonagall explains that she doesn’t want to monitor Albus anymore, and Harry agrees. He apologizes for the way he spoke to her and says he needs to apologize to his son as well. Draco then emerges from the chimney, and they all say that they need to find Albus and Scorpius. Opening the map, they see that they’re both in the girls’ bathroom and the third floor, and they wonder what the boys could be doing there.
Following Harry’s conversation with Draco, Harry recognizes the importance of Scorpius’s friendship in Albus’s life. He is attempting to understand his son on his own terms rather than pushing his own wants and needs onto Albus.
