36 The Parting of the Ways

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX The Parting of the Ways Dumbledore stood up. He stared down at Barty Crouch for a moment with disgust on his face. Then he raised his wand once more and ropes flew out of it, ropes which twisted themselves around Barty Crouch, binding him tightly. He turned to Professor McGonagall. 'Minerva, could I ask you to stand guard here while I take Harry upstairs?' 'Of course,' said Professor McGonagall. She looked slightly nauseous, as though she had just watched someone being sick. However, when she

第三十六章分道扬镳邓布利多站了起来。 他低头盯着巴蒂·克劳奇看了一会儿，脸上露出厌恶的神情。 然后他又举起魔杖，一根绳子飞了出来，这些绳子缠绕在小巴蒂·克劳奇身上，把他紧紧地绑住了。 他转向麦格教授。 “米勒娃，我可以请你在这里站岗，我带哈利上楼吗？”“当然可以。”麦格教授说。 她看起来有点恶心，好像刚刚看到有人生病了。 然而，当她

drew out her wand and pointed it at Barty Crouch, her hand was quite steady. 'Severus,' Dumbledore turned to Snape, 'please tell Madam Pomfrey to come down here. We need to get Alastor Moody into the hospital wing. Then go down into the grounds, find Cornelius Fudge, and bring him up to this office. He will undoubtedly want to question Crouch himself. Tell him I will be in the hospital wing in half an hour's time if he needs me.' Snape nodded silently and swept out of the room. 'Harry?' Dumbledore said gently. Harry got up and swayed again; the pain in his leg, which he had not noticed all the time he had listened to Crouch, now returned in full measure. He also realised that he was shaking. Dumbledore gripped his arm, and helped him out into the dark corridor. 'I want you to come up to my office first, Harry,' he said quietly, as they headed up the passageway. 'Sirius is waiting for us there.'

她抽出魔杖指着小巴蒂·克劳奇，她的手很稳。 “西弗勒斯，”邓布利多转向斯内普，“请告诉庞弗雷夫人到这里来。 我们得把阿拉斯特·穆迪送进医院。 然后下楼到场地里去，找到康奈利·福吉，把他带到这间办公室来。 毫无疑问，他想亲自审问克劳奇。 告诉他，如果他需要我，半小时后我就到医院。”斯内普默默地点了点头，快步走出了房间。 “哈利?”邓布利多温和地说。 哈利站起来，又摇晃了一下。刚才听克劳奇讲课时，他一直没有注意到腿上的疼痛，现在又疼得厉害了。 他也意识到自己在发抖。 邓布利多抓住他的胳膊，把他扶到黑暗的走廊里。 “我要你先到我的办公室来一趟，哈利。”他们朝过道走去时，他平静地说。 “小天狼星在那儿等我们呢。”

Harry nodded. A kind of numbness and a sense of complete unreality were upon him, but he did not care; he was even glad of it. He didn't want to have to think about anything that had happened since he had first touched the Triwizard Cup. He didn't want to have to examine the memories, fresh and sharp as photographs, which kept flashing across his mind. Mad-Eye Moody, inside the trunk. Wormtail, slumped on the ground, cradling his stump of an arm. Voldemort, rising from the steaming cauldron. Cedric… dead… Cedric, asking to be returned to his parents… 'Professor,' Harry mumbled, 'where are Mr and Mrs Diggory?' 'They are with Professor Sprout,' said Dumbledore. His voice, which had been so calm throughout the interrogation of Barty Crouch, shook very slightly for the first time. 'She was Head of Cedric's house, and knew him best.' They had reached the stone gargoyle. Dumbledore gave the password, it sprang aside, and he and Harry went up the moving spiral

哈利点了点头。一种麻木和一种完全不真实的感觉笼罩着他，但他不在乎；他甚至为此感到高兴。 他不想去想自从他第一次接触三强杯以来发生的任何事情。 他不想去审视那些像照片一样清晰的记忆，这些记忆一直在他脑海中闪过。 疯眼汉穆迪，在箱子里。 虫尾巴瘫倒在地上，抱着一只断臂。 伏地魔从热气腾腾的坩埚里站了起来。 “教授，”哈利喃喃地说，“迪戈里先生和夫人在哪儿？“他们和斯普劳特教授在一起。”邓布利多说。 他的声音在审讯巴蒂·克劳奇的过程中一直很平静，现在第一次微微颤抖起来。 “她是塞德里克学院的院长，最了解他。”他们来到了那只石像鬼。 邓布利多说出了密码，它跳到了一边，他和哈利顺着旋转的螺旋往上爬

staircase to the oak door. Dumbledore pushed it open. Sirius was standing there. His face was white and gaunt as it had been when he had escaped Azkaban. In one swift moment, he had crossed the room. 'Harry, are you all right? I knew it–I knew something like this–what happened?' His hands shook as he helped Harry into a chair in front of the desk. 'What happened?' he asked, more urgently. Dumbledore began to tell Sirius everything Barty Crouch had said. Harry was only half listening. So tired every bone in his body was aching, he wanted nothing more than to sit here, undisturbed, for hours and hours, until he fell asleep, and didn't have to think or feel any more. There was a soft rush of wings. Fawkes the phoenix had left his perch, flown across the office, and landed on Harry's knee. ''Lo, Fawkes,' said Harry quietly. He stroked the phoenix's beautiful scarlet and gold plumage. Fawkes blinked peacefully up at him. There was something comforting about his warm weight.

通往橡木门的楼梯。 邓布利多推开了门。 小天狼星站在那里。 他的脸苍白憔悴，就像他逃出阿兹卡班时一样。 刹那间，他穿过了房间。 “哈利，你没事吧？” 我知道——我知道类似这样的事情——发生了什么事？”他扶着哈利坐在课桌前的椅子上，双手颤抖着。 “出了什么事?他更急切地问。 邓布利多开始把巴蒂·克劳奇所说的一切都告诉小天狼星。 哈利心不在焉地听着。 他太累了，全身骨头都痛了，他只想坐在这里，不受打扰，一小时又一小时，直到他睡着，不再思考，也不再有任何感觉。 翅膀轻轻拍打了一下。 凤凰福克斯离开栖木，飞过办公室，落在哈利的膝盖上。 “喂，福克斯。”哈利轻声说。 他抚摸着凤凰美丽的猩红色和金色羽毛。 福克斯平静地朝他眨了眨眼睛。 他温暖的身躯给人一种安慰。

Dumbledore had stopped talking. He sat down opposite Harry, behind his desk. He was looking at Harry, who avoided his eyes. Dumbledore was going to question him. He was going to make Harry relive everything. 'I need to know what happened after you touched the Portkey in the maze, Harry,' said Dumbledore. 'We can leave that 'til morning, can't we, Dumbledore?' said Sirius harshly. He had put a hand on Harry's shoulder. 'Let him have a sleep. Let him rest.' Harry felt a rush of gratitude towards Sirius, but Dumbledore took no notice of Sirius' words. He leant forward towards Harry. Very unwillingly, Harry raised his head, and looked into those blue eyes. 'If I thought I could help you,' Dumbledore said gently, 'by putting you into an enchanted sleep, and allowing you to postpone the moment when you would have to think about what has happened tonight, I would do it. But I know better. Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you

邓布利多不再说话了。 他坐在哈利对面的桌子后面。 他望着哈利，哈利避开了他的目光。 邓布利多要问他。 他要让哈利重温一切。 “我需要知道你在迷宫里碰到门钥匙后发生了什么，哈利。”邓布利多说。 “我们可以把这件事留到明天早上再说，是不是，邓布利多？”小天狼星严厉地说。 他把一只手放在哈利的肩膀上。 “让他睡一会儿吧。让他休息吧。”哈利对小天狼星产生了一种感激之情，但邓布利多没有理会小天狼星的话。 他向哈利倾身。 哈利极不情愿地抬起头，望着那双蓝眼睛。 “如果我认为我可以帮助你，”邓布利多温和地说，“让你进入一种施了魔法的睡眠状态，让你推迟思考今晚发生的事情的时刻，我就会这么做。 但我更清楚。暂时麻痹疼痛只会让疼痛更严重

finally feel it. You have shown bravery beyond anything I could have expected of you. I ask you to demonstrate your courage one more time. I ask you to tell us what happened.' The phoenix let out one soft, quavering note. It shivered in the air, and Harry felt as though a drop of hot liquid had slipped down his throat into his stomach, warming him, and strengthening him. He took a deep breath, and began to tell them. As he spoke, visions of everything that had passed that night seemed to rise before his eyes; he saw the sparkling surface of the Potion which had revived Voldemort; he saw the Death Eaters Apparating between the graves around them; he saw Cedric's body, lying on the ground beside the Cup. Once or twice, Sirius made a noise as though about to say something, his hand still tight on Harry's shoulder, but Dumbledore raised his hand to stop him, and Harry was glad of this, because it was easier to keep going now he had started. It was even a relief; he felt almost as though something poisonous was being extracted from

终于感受到了。你表现出的勇气超出了我对你的期望。 我请求你再一次展现你的勇气。 我请你告诉我们发生了什么事。”凤凰发出一声柔和的颤音。 它在空中颤抖着，哈利觉得好像有一滴热乎乎的液体从喉咙里滑进了胃里，使他暖和起来，也增强了他的力量。 他深吸了一口气，开始告诉他们。 当他说话的时候，那天晚上发生的一切似乎都在他眼前浮现出来；他看到了使伏地魔复活的药水闪闪发光的表面；他看见食死徒在周围的坟墓之间幻影显形；他看见塞德里克的尸体躺在杯子旁边的地上。 有一两次，小天狼星发出声音，好像要说什么，他的手仍然紧紧抓住哈利的肩膀，但邓布利多举起手来阻止他，哈利很高兴，因为既然他已经开始了，继续说下去就容易多了。 这甚至是一种解脱；他觉得好像有什么有毒的东西正在从他身上抽出来
