13 Gryffindor Versus Ravenclaw

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw It looked like the end of Ron and Hermione's friendship. Each was so angry with the other that Harry couldn't see how they'd ever make it up. Ron was enraged that Hermione had never taken Crookshanks's attempts to eat Scabbers seriously, hadn't bothered to keep a close enough watch on him and was still trying to pretend that Crookshanks was innocent by suggesting Ron look for Scabbers under all the boys' beds. Hermione, meanwhile, maintained fiercely that Ron had no proof that Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers, that the ginger hairs might have been

第十三章格兰芬多对拉文克劳罗恩和赫敏的友谊似乎结束了。 两人都对对方很生气，哈利不知道他们怎么能和好如故。 罗恩很生气，赫敏从来没有把克鲁克山要吃斑斑的事当回事，也没有费心仔细地监视它，而且还假装克鲁克山是无辜的，建议罗恩在所有男孩的床底下找斑斑。 与此同时，赫敏激烈地争辩说，罗恩没有证据证明克鲁克山吃了斑斑，那根姜黄色的毛可能就是

there since Christmas, and that Ron had been prejudiced against her cat ever since Crookshanks had landed on Ron's head in the Magical Menagerie. Personally, Harry was sure that Crookshanks had eaten Scabbers, and when he tried to point out to Hermione that the evidence all pointed that way, she lost her temper with Harry, too. 'OK, side with Ron, I knew you would!' she said shrilly. 'First the Firebolt, now Scabbers, everything's my fault, isn't it! Just leave me alone, Harry, I've got a lot of work to do!' Ron had taken the loss of his rat very hard indeed. 'Come on, Ron, you were always saying how boring Scabbers was,' said Fred bracingly. 'And he's been off-colour for ages, he was wasting away. It was probably better for him to snuff it quickly. One swallow–he probably didn't feel a thing.' 'Fred!' said Ginny indignantly. 'All he did was eat and sleep, Ron, you said it yourself,' said George.

自从克鲁克山在魔法动物园落在罗恩的头上以后，罗恩就一直对她的猫抱有偏见。 就个人而言，哈利确信克鲁克山吃了斑斑，当他试图向赫敏指出所有的证据都指向这一点时，赫敏也对哈利发了脾气。 “好吧，站在罗恩一边，我就知道你会的！”她尖声说。 “先是火弩箭，现在是斑斑，一切都是我的错，是不是？”别烦我，哈利，我还有很多工作要做呢！”罗恩失去了他的老鼠，心里确实很难过。 “得了吧，罗恩，你一直在说斑斑多么无聊。”弗雷德安慰他说。 “而且他身体不好已经好长时间了，他越来越瘦了。 对他来说，最好还是快点把它掐死。 一口——他可能什么都没感觉到。“弗雷德!金妮气愤地说。 “他只是吃了睡了，罗恩，这是你自己说的。”

'He bit Goyle for us once!' Ron said miserably. 'Remember, Harry?' 'Yeah, that's true,' said Harry. 'His finest hour,' said Fred, unable to keep a straight face. 'Let the scar on Goyle's finger stand as a lasting tribute to his memory. Oh, come on, Ron, get yourself down to Hogsmeade and buy a new rat. What's the point of moaning?' In a last-ditch attempt to cheer Ron up, Harry persuaded him to come along to the Gryffindor team's final practice before the Ravenclaw match, so that he could have a go on the Firebolt after they'd finished. This did seem to take Ron's mind off Scabbers for a moment ('Brilliant! Can I try and shoot a few goals on it?') so they set off for the Quidditch pitch together. Madam Hooch, who was still overseeing Gryffindor practices to keep an eye on Harry, was just as impressed with the Firebolt as everyone else had been. She took it in her hands before take-off and gave them the benefit of her professional opinion.

“他有一次为我们咬了高尔！”罗恩痛苦地说。 “记住,哈利?“是啊，这倒是真的。”哈利说。 “他最辉煌的时刻。”弗雷德说，无法板起脸来。 “让高尔手指上的伤疤永远留在他的记忆里吧。 哦，来吧，罗恩，你自己去霍格莫德村买只新老鼠吧。 呻吟有什么用？”为了让罗恩高兴起来，哈利做了最后的努力，说服他一起去参加格兰芬多队和拉文克劳比赛前的最后一次训练，这样他就可以在比赛结束后试试火弩箭了。 这似乎确实让罗恩暂时忘记了斑斑(“太棒了！”我可以试着在上面射几个球吗？”)于是他们一起前往魁地奇球场。 霍琦夫人还在监督格兰芬多的训练，监视着哈利，她和其他人一样对火弩箭印象深刻。 起飞前，她把飞机拿在手里，让他们听听她的专业意见。

'Look at the balance on it! If the Nimbus series has a fault, it's a slight list to the tail-end–you often find they develop a drag after a few years. They've updated the handle, too, a bit slimmer than the Cleansweeps, reminds me of the old Silver Arrows–a pity they've stopped making them, I learnt to fly on one, and a very fine old broom it was too…' She continued in this vein for some time, until Wood said, 'Er–Madam Hooch? Is it OK if Harry has the Firebolt back? Only we need to practise…' 'Oh–right–here you are, then, Potter,' said Madam Hooch. 'I'll sit over here with Weasley…' She and Ron left the pitch to sit in the stadium, and the Gryffindor team gathered around Wood for his final instructions for tomorrow's match. 'Harry, I've just found out who Ravenclaw are playing as Seeker. It's Cho Chang. She's a fourthyear, and she's pretty good… I really hoped she wouldn't be fit, she's had some problems with injuries…' Wood scowled his displeasure that

“看它的平衡！”如果光轮系列有毛病的话，那也只是尾部的一个小毛病——你经常会在几年后发现它们出现了问题。 他们还更新了把，比扫把细一点，让我想起了旧的银箭——可惜他们已经不生产了，我学会了用银箭飞行，那也是一把非常好的旧扫帚……”她继续说了一会儿，直到伍德说：“呃，霍琦夫人？ 哈利可以把火弩箭拿回来吗？ “哦——好吧，给你，波特。”霍琦夫人说。 “我和韦斯莱坐在这里……”她和罗恩离开球场，坐在体育场内，格兰芬多队的队员聚集在伍德身边，听取他对明天比赛的最后指示。 “哈利，我刚刚知道拉文克劳队的找球手是谁了。 我是张秋。她是四年级的学生，身体很好……我真希望她不要健康，她有些伤病……”伍德皱起眉头，不高兴地说

Cho Chang had made a full recovery, then said, 'On the other hand, she rides a Comet Two Sixty, which is going to look like a joke next to the Firebolt.' He gave Harry's broom a look of fervent admiration, then said, 'OK, everyone, let's go–' And at long last, Harry mounted his Firebolt, and kicked off from the ground. It was better than he'd ever dreamed. The Firebolt turned with the lightest touch; it seemed to obey his thoughts rather than his grip. It sped across the pitch at such speed that the stadium turned into a green and grey blur; Harry turned it so sharply that Alicia Spinnet screamed, then he went into a perfectly controlled dive, brushing the grassy pitch with his toes before rising thirty, forty, fifty feet into the air again– 'Harry, I'm letting the Snitch out!' Wood called. Harry turned and raced a Bludger towards the goalposts; he outstripped it easily, saw the Snitch dart out from behind Wood and within ten seconds had caught it tightly in his hand. The team cheered madly. Harry let the Snitch go again, gave it a minute's head start, then tore

秋·张完全康复了，然后说：“另一方面，她骑的是彗星260，跟火弩箭比起来，简直就是个笑话。”他热切钦佩地看了哈利的扫帚一眼，然后说：“好了，大家，我们走吧——”哈利终于骑上了他的火弩箭，一脚从地上飞了起来。 这比他做梦都要美好。 只要轻轻一碰，火弩箭就会转身；它似乎服从他的思想，而不是他的控制。 它以如此之快的速度穿过球场，体育场变成了一片模糊的绿色和灰色；哈利急转弯，艾丽娅·斯平内特尖叫起来，然后他进行了一个完全有控制的俯冲，用脚趾擦过草地，然后又升到三十、四十、五十英尺高的空中——“哈利，我要把飞贼放出去！”木材。 哈利转过身，带着一只游走球冲向球门。他轻松地超过了它，看见金色飞贼从伍德身后窜了出来，不到十秒钟就把它紧紧地抓在手里。 全队疯狂地欢呼。哈利又放开了飞贼，让它先跑了一分钟，然后就跑开了

after it, weaving in and out of the others; he spotted it lurking near Katie Bell's knee, looped her easily, and caught it again. It was the best practice ever; the team, inspired by the presence of the Firebolt in their midst, performed their best moves faultlessly, and by the time they hit the ground again, Wood didn't have a single criticism to make, which, as George Weasley pointed out, was a first. 'I can't see what's going to stop us tomorrow!' said Wood. 'Not unless–Harry, you've sorted your Dementor problem, haven't you?' 'Yeah,' said Harry, thinking of his feeble Patronus and wishing it was stronger. 'The Dementors won't turn up again, Oliver, Dumbledore'd do his nut,' said Fred confidently. 'Well, let's hope not,' said Wood. 'Anyway–good work, everyone. Let's get back to the Tower–turn in early…' 'I'm staying out for a bit, Ron wants a go on the Firebolt,' Harry told Wood, and while the rest of the team headed off to the changing rooms, Harry strode over to Ron, who vaulted the barrier to the

在它之后，在其他的东西之间来回穿梭；他发现它潜伏在凯蒂·贝尔的膝盖附近，轻松地绕过她，又抓住了它。 这是有史以来最好的练习；队员们受到了火弩箭的鼓舞，使出了最好的招式，毫无瑕疵。当他们再次落地时，伍德没有提出任何批评，正如乔治·韦斯莱指出的那样，这是头一次。 “我看不出明天有什么能阻止我们！”伍德说。 “除非——哈利，你已经解决了摄魂怪的问题，是不是？”“是啊。”哈利说，想起了他那虚弱的守护神，希望它能更强壮一点。 “摄魂怪不会再出现了，奥利弗，邓布利多会发疯的。”弗雷德自信地说。 “好吧，希望不会。”伍德说。 “不管怎样——大家干得好。 “我要在外面待一会儿，罗恩想试试火弩箭。”哈利对伍德说，当其他队员都往更衣室去的时候，哈利大步走向罗恩，罗恩跳过了障碍物，来到了城堡
