5 The Dementor

CHAPTER FIVE The Dementor Tom woke Harry next morning with his usual toothless grin and a cup of tea. Harry got dressed and was just persuading a disgruntled Hedwig to get back into her cage when Ron banged his way into the room, pulling a sweatshirt over his head and looking irritable. 'The sooner we get on the train, the better,' he said. 'At least I can get away from Percy at Hogwarts. Now he's accusing me of dripping tea on his photo of Penelope Clearwater. You know,' Ron grimaced, 'his girlfriend. She's hidden her face under the frame because her nose has gone all blotchy…'

第五章摄魂怪第二天早上，汤姆把哈利叫醒了，他照常咧着嘴笑着，端着一杯茶。 哈利穿好衣服，正要说服不高兴的海德薇回到笼子里去，罗恩砰地一声闯了进来，把一件运动衫套在头上，一副不耐烦的样子。 “我们越早上车越好，”他说。 “至少我可以在霍格沃茨摆脱珀西。 现在他又指责我把茶滴在他的佩内洛普·克利尔沃特照片上。 “你知道，”罗恩做了个鬼脸，“他的女朋友。 她把脸藏在镜框下面，因为她的鼻子上满是斑点……”

'I've got something to tell you,' Harry began, but they were interrupted by Fred and George, who had looked in to congratulate Ron on infuriating Percy again. They headed down to breakfast, where Mr Weasley was reading the front page of the Daily Prophet with a furrowed brow and Mrs Weasley was telling Hermione and Ginny about a Love Potion she'd made as a young girl. All three of them were rather giggly. 'What were you saying?' Ron asked Harry, as they sat down. 'Later,' Harry muttered, as Percy stormed in. Harry had no chance to speak to Ron or Hermione in the chaos of leaving; they were too busy heaving all their trunks down the Leaky Cauldron's narrow staircase and piling them up near the door, with Hedwig and Hermes, Percy's screech owl, perched on top in their cages. A small wickerwork basket stood beside the heap of trunks, spitting loudly. 'It's all right, Crookshanks,' Hermione cooed through the wickerwork, 'I'll let you out on the

“我有件事要告诉你。”哈利刚要开口，就被弗雷德和乔治打断了，他们进来祝贺罗恩又激怒了珀西。 他们下楼去吃早饭，韦斯莱先生皱着眉头读着《预言家日报》的头版，韦斯莱夫人正在给赫敏和金妮讲她小时候做的一种迷情药水。 他们三个都咯咯地笑。 “你刚才说什么来着？”他们坐下时，罗恩问哈利。 “待会儿再说。”珀西冲进来时，哈利低声说。 在离开的混乱中，哈利没有机会和罗恩或赫敏说话。他们正忙着把所有的箱子从破釜酒吧狭窄的楼梯上搬下来，堆在门口，海德薇和珀西的猫头鹰爱马仕则关在笼子里。 一个柳条编的小篮子站在那堆箱子旁边，大声地吐着痰。 “没事的，克鲁克山，”赫敏隔着柳条织物低声说，“我把你放出去

train.' 'You won't,' snapped Ron. 'What about poor Scabbers, eh?' He pointed at his chest, where a large lump indicated that Scabbers was curled up in his pocket. Mr Weasley, who had been outside waiting for the Ministry cars, stuck his head inside. 'They're here,' he said. 'Harry, come on.' Mr Weasley marched Harry across the short stretch of pavement towards the first of two oldfashioned dark green cars, each of which was driven by a furtive-looking wizard, wearing a suit of emerald velvet. 'In you get, Harry,' said Mr Weasley, glancing up and down the crowded street. Harry got into the back of the car, and was shortly joined by Hermione, Ron and, to Ron's disgust, Percy. The journey to King's Cross was very uneventful compared to Harry's trip on the Knight Bus. The Ministry of Magic cars seemed almost

火车。“你不会的。”罗恩厉声说。 “可怜的斑斑怎么办，嗯？”他指着自己的胸口，那里有一个大肿块，表明斑斑蜷缩在他的口袋里。 韦斯莱先生一直在外面等魔法部的车辆，这时他把头伸了进去。 “他们来了，”他说。“哈利，走吧。”韦斯莱先生领着哈利走过一小段人行道，朝第一辆车走去，这辆车有两辆老式的深绿色汽车，每辆车都由一个穿着翠绿色天鹅绒西装、神情鬼鬼祟祟的巫师驾驶。 “进去吧，哈利。”韦斯莱先生说，扫视了一下拥挤的街道。 哈利上了车后座，赫敏、罗恩和珀西也进来了，这使罗恩感到恶心。 与哈利在骑士公共汽车上的旅程相比，去国王十字车站的旅程平淡无奇。 魔法部的车似乎快到了

ordinary, though Harry noticed that they could slide through gaps that Uncle Vernon's new company car certainly couldn't have managed. They reached King's Cross with twenty minutes to spare; the Ministry drivers found them trolleys, unloaded their trunks, touched their hats to Mr Weasley and drove away, somehow managing to jump to the head of an unmoving queue for the traffic lights. Mr Weasley kept close to Harry's elbow all the way into the station. 'Right then,' he said, glancing around them. 'Let's do this in pairs, as there are so many of us. I'll go through first with Harry.' Mr Weasley strolled towards the barrier between platforms nine and ten, pushing Harry's trolley and apparently very interested in the InterCity 125 that had just arrived at platform nine. With a meaningful look at Harry, he leant casually against the barrier. Harry imitated him. Next moment, they had fallen sideways through the solid metal onto platform nine and threequarters and looked up to see the Hogwarts

很普通，不过哈利注意到它们可以滑过弗农姨父公司的新汽车肯定做不到的缝隙。 他们到达国王十字车站时，还有二十分钟的时间。魔法部的司机给他们找来手推车，卸下他们的箱子，向韦斯莱先生碰了碰帽子，然后开车离开了，不知怎么地，他们挤到了等候红绿灯的队伍前面。 韦斯莱先生在进车站的路上一直紧紧地抓着哈利的胳膊肘。 “那好吧。”他说着扫视了一下他们。 “我们人太多了，我们两人一组吧。” 我和哈利先过去。”韦斯莱先生推着哈利的手推车，慢悠悠地走向第九和第十站台之间的护栏，显然对刚刚抵达第九站台的城际125次列车很感兴趣。 他意味深长地看了哈利一眼，随意地靠在栅栏上。 哈利学着他的样子。转眼之间，他们就侧着身子穿过坚硬的金属落到九又四分之三站台上，抬起头来，看见了霍格沃茨

Express, a scarlet steam engine, puffing smoke over a platform packed with witches and wizards seeing their children onto the train. Percy and Ginny suddenly appeared behind Harry. They were panting, and had apparently taken the barrier at a run. 'Ah, there's Penelope!' said Percy, smoothing his hair and going pink again. Ginny caught Harry's eye and they both turned away to hide their laughter as Percy strode over to a girl with long, curly hair, walking with his chest thrown out so that she couldn't miss his shiny badge. Once the remaining Weasleys and Hermione had joined them, Harry and Mr Weasley led the way to the end of the train, past packed compartments, to a carriage that looked quite empty. They loaded the trunks onto it, stowed Hedwig and Crookshanks in the luggage rack, then went back outside to say goodbye to Mr and Mrs Weasley. Mrs Weasley kissed all her children, then Hermione, and finally, Harry. He was

“快车”，一辆鲜红色的蒸汽机，在站台上冒着烟，站台上挤满了送孩子上车的男女巫师。 珀西和金妮突然出现在哈利身后。 它们喘着粗气，显然是跑着冲过栅栏的。 “啊，那是佩内洛普！”珀西说着，捋了捋头发，脸又涨红了。 金妮看到了哈利的目光，两人都扭过头去不让笑出声来。珀西大步走向一个长卷发的女孩，他挺起胸膛走着，这样她就不会错过他那闪亮的徽章。 韦斯莱家的其他人和赫敏也加入了他们，哈利和韦斯莱先生领着他们走到火车的尽头，经过拥挤的车厢，来到一节看上去空荡荡的车厢。 他们把箱子搬上去，把海德薇和克鲁克山放在行李架上，然后走出去和韦斯莱夫妇告别。 韦斯莱夫人吻了她所有的孩子，然后是赫敏，最后是哈利。 他是

embarrassed, but really quite pleased, when she gave him an extra hug. 'Do take care, won't you, Harry?' she said as she straightened up, her eyes oddly bright. Then she opened her enormous handbag and said, 'I've made you all sandwiches. Here you are, Ron… no, they're not corned beef… Fred? Where's Fred? Here you are, dear…' 'Harry,' said Mr Weasley quietly, 'come over here a moment.' He jerked his head towards a pillar, and Harry followed him behind it, leaving the others crowded around Mrs Weasley. 'There's something I've got to tell you before you leave–' said Mr Weasley, in a tense voice. 'It's all right, Mr Weasley,' said Harry, 'I already know.' 'You know? How could you know?' 'I–er–I heard you and Mrs Weasley talking last night. I couldn't help hearing,' Harry added quickly. 'Sorry–'

当她给了他一个额外的拥抱时，她感到尴尬，但实际上很高兴。 “一定要保重，好吗，哈利？”她说着站了起来，眼睛出奇地明亮。 然后她打开她的大手提包说：“我给你们都做了三明治。 给你，罗恩……不，这不是咸牛肉……弗雷德？ 弗雷德在哪儿?“给你，亲爱的……”“哈利，”韦斯莱先生轻轻地说，“过来一下。”他把头朝一根柱子一摇，哈利跟着他走到柱子后面，其他人都挤在韦斯莱夫人周围。 “在你离开之前，我有件事必须告诉你——”韦斯莱先生紧张地说。 “没关系，韦斯莱先生，”哈利说，“我已经知道了。“你知道吗？” 你怎么知道的？“我——我——我昨晚听到你和韦斯莱夫人的谈话了。” 我忍不住听到了。”哈利赶紧补充道。 “对不起——”
