Albus offers to sit with him while Rose avoids Scorpius due to him being the son of Draco. They are later both sorted into <a href="/wiki/Slytherin" class="mw-redirect" title="Slytherin">Slytherin</a>. As the years pass, Albus struggles with being unpopular and Scorpius, who suffers from rumours implicating him as the son of <a href="/wiki/Lord_Voldemort" title="Lord Voldemort">Lord Voldemort</a>, is the only person in whom he can confide. When Albus hugs Scorpius, the latter states: "Hello. Um. Have we hugged before? Do we hug?" After Albus returns from his first time-travelling trip with Scorpius injured, Harry tells him to stay away from the latter. Albus refuses to do so, calling Scorpius his "best" and "only" friend. Harry then uses the <a href="/wiki/Marauder%27s_Map" class="mw-redirect" title="Marauder's Map">Marauder's Map</a> to track Albus, forcing him to avoid Scorpius. They eventually meet in the library, where Albus calls Scorpius kind to the "depths of [his] belly, to the tips of [his] fingers" and the "best" person he knows. The two hug again and smile at each other afterward.<sup id="cite_ref-Hecke_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hecke-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Aja Romano of <i><a href="/wiki/Vox_(website)" title="Vox (website)">Vox</a></i> writes: "In the play, the two boys are utterly devoted to each other. They exchange long, sensual hugs. They’re jealous of competing relationships and unwilling to be separated from one another." In one scene, Scorpius witnesses Albus engaged in conversation with a girl and the script notes that "part of him likes it and part of him doesn't." In another, Scorpius' love for Albus is compared by a character to that of the canonically romantic adoration character <a href="/wiki/Severus_Snape" title="Severus Snape">Severus Snape</a> had for <a href="/wiki/Lily_Potter" class="mw-redirect" title="Lily Potter">Lily Potter</a>. However, Scorpius instead expresses romantic interest in Rose, who mildly reciprocates his advances by the end of the play.<sup id="cite_ref-Romano_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Romano-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Later in the play, Scorpius uses the time turner, accidentally altering the timeline such that <a href="/wiki/Lord_Voldemort" title="Lord Voldemort">Lord Voldemort</a> kills Harry, thus causing Albus to cease to exist. In this timeline, Scorpius is "living atop a social hierarchy with considerable power and influence." However, Scorpius chooses to instead return to the original timeline. The Snape of this timeline observes that he is "giving up" his "kingdom" for Albus while <a href="/wiki/Delphi_Diggory" class="mw-redirect" title="Delphi Diggory">Delphi Diggory</a> tells him: "Albus needs you, Scorpius.

Murray writes: "He has different experiences than those around him, particularly his family. This difference leads to Albus’ isolation from and conflict with his father, who futilely wishes his son to be different. This conflict operates the same way a queer child exists in a suffocating, heteronormative environment." He argues that the relationship between Albus and Scorpius is "deeply woven" and "builds upon and seems to correct some of the earlier, prejudicial elements", the latter point in reference to Draco having previously been depicted as a "racist, elitist bully".<sup id="cite_ref-Murray_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Murray-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Gavia Baker-Whitelaw of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Daily_Dot" title="The Daily Dot">The Daily Dot</a></i> described the ship as a "next-generation twist" on <a href="/wiki/Drarry" title="Drarry">Drarry</a>, the ship between Harry and Draco.<sup id="cite_ref-Baker-Whitelaw_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Baker-Whitelaw-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Marthe-Siobhán Hecke argues that Albus's struggles with society's and his father's expectations of him "might be interpreted as the struggle of persons trying to come to terms with their identity and specifically their sexuality.<sup id="cite_ref-Hecke_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hecke-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Murray argues that the play's "stress on the power of empathy and compassion causes Scorpius to choose his love for Albus over great personal gain." He writes that their friendship is "distinct in its depth and its non-normativity" and that it "breaks down previous forms of masculinized friendships, clearing way for new, queer possibilities." With regard to Scorpius's response to Albus's hug, Murray argues that it "holds little purpose past evoking awkwardness and discomfort". He writes that it "appears out of character, given their previously free verbal affection" and that the "clear discomfort reinforces traditional masculinity, dispelling any possibility that these characters are homosexual". On the relationship between Scorpius and Rose, Murray writes that it is an "incredibly rushed, unmotivated romantic pairing" and that the "sudden expectation of the audience/reader to accept this new romantic possibility is baffling." He concludes that the "story of Scorpius and Albus in a moment of protective masculinity, a moment which otherwise could have been new ground for Harry Potter."<sup id="cite_ref-Murray_4-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Murray-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, Hecke instead suggests that their initial hug could be read as Albus expressing his "need for being comforted by the only person who understands him", or that it "might also be more than a gesture of understanding between friends, especially as the experience is awkward for both of them."<sup id="cite_ref-Hecke_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hecke-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Baker-Whitelaw writes that the characters' relationship is "affectionate and emotionally intense" and "can easily be interpreted as a youthful precursor to romance."

Baker-Whitelaw argues that the relationship "unintentionally highlights the lack of queer characters in the series" and that it "feels like a missed opportunity—not least because same-sex relationships are often framed as "adult-rated."" She concludes that it "would have been revolutionary to see Scorpius have a crush on Albus in a similar way to his crush on Rose, but apparently when it comes to The Cursed Child‘s fanfic callbacks, queer representation was a step too far."<sup id="cite_ref-Baker-Whitelaw_9-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Baker-Whitelaw-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Hecke argues that while Scorpius's jealousy towards Delphi for talking with Albus could mean that he "does not like it because he wants to stay his only friend", it could also imply that Scorpius "partially likes to see Albus interested in a girl and simultaneously dislikes Albus behaving in accordance with the heteronormative matrix."<sup id="cite_ref-Hecke_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hecke-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Hecke calls Scorpius's open expression of his adoration of Albus's personality a "statement one perhaps would not expect from a fifteen-year-old teenager." She argues that while the final scene "ultimately undermines the tentatively established queerness and resumes a heteronormative stance", the pair's last hug could mean that they have either "decided that physical contact between two men is nothing to be ashamed of (in defiance of homosexual panic)" or that they have "come to terms with their romantic feelings for each other", and that the scene "could be understood as them having accepted either a friendship that allows a certain amount of intimacy, or even a non-platonic sexual interest." Hecke notes that their relationship is more complex and ambiguous than that of Ron and Harry, who "appeared to be at ease in their behaviour towards each other and in their interest in girls."<sup id="cite_ref-Hecke_2-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hecke-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>According to Marion Gymnich, Denise Burkhard and Hanne Birk, both characters had already become popular in fan fiction by 2017, which they wrote was "presumably to a certain extent due to the fact that the presentation of these adolescent boys renders a queer reading possible, which ties in with the overall popularity of ‘<a href="/wiki/Slash_fiction" title="Slash fiction">slash</a>’ fan fiction".<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Accusations_of_queerbaiting">Accusations of queerbaiting</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Scorbus&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Accusations of queerbaiting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Many LGBTQ+ fans of the series accused the play of queerbaiting.

She writes: "The lack of representation of even casual intimacy between men may be one of the reasons fans so desperately wish these male characters into romantic relationships – leading to accusations of queerbaiting when they don't see their fantasy officially told. This isn't to say that queerbaiting isn't real – but there’s a reason why we see closeness between men as almost intrinsically gay. And that is a problem in itself."

She noted that the "anger" in the <i>Harry Potter</i> fandom over the portrayal of the relationship between Albus and Scorpius was then "especially potent" as fans had "already spent years being angry at Rowling for her treatment of other queer characters in her books." She further wrote that the controversy was representative "larger cultural shift in fandom toward nuanced representation and a desire for diverse characters and worldbuilding." On the relationship between the characters itself, she wrote that "sexual subtext hovers at the edges of Albus and Scorpius' interactions, as they make awkward overtures into exploring their sexuality with girls." She added that the characters' interest in girls "seems to be added as an afterthought, wedged in throughout the play in underdeveloped, unconvincing moments", with Scorpius' advances towards Rose being a troubling version of the "wear the girl down" trope.<sup id="cite_ref-Romano_3-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Romano-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ben Neutze of <i><a href="/wiki/Time_Out_(magazine)" title="Time Out (magazine)">Time Out</a></i> wrote that the play "denies the sweet queer love story built into it" and that "every time a crush on a girl is alluded to, it feels like JK Rowling is shouting “no homo!” at the audience." In response to Tiffany's claim that portraying the two characters in a relationship would be inappropriate Neutze notes that <i><a href="/wiki/Harry_Potter_and_the_Goblet_of_Fire" title="Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire">Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</a></i>, which takes place when Harry is 15, depicts several romances. He also argued that if it is appropriate for Albus and Scorpius to discuss crushes with one another, it is "no less appropriate to acknowledge any of those feelings they might have for one another."<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ashley Lee of <i><a

production, Joey Sims of <i>Theatrely</i> writes that the play "now eagerly places Albus and Scorpius’ love story at its center, without shyness or shame" and that it "seems right that Albus and Scorpius would, by this story’s end, have reached an understanding of how important they are to one another without yet fully comprehending what that means."<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a

"beautiful, subtle moment in which father and son acknowledge the depth of the connection between Albus and Scorpius."<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span
