12 Professor Umbridge

CHAPTER TWELVE Professor Umbridge Seamus dressed at top speed next morning and left the dormitory before Harry had even put on his socks. 'Does he think he'll turn into a nutter if he stays in a room with me too long?' asked Harry loudly, as the hem of Seamus's robes whipped out of sight. 'Don't worry about it, Harry,' Dean muttered, hoisting his schoolbag on to his shoulder, 'he's just…' But apparently he was unable to say exactly what Seamus was, and after a slightly awkward pause followed him out of the room.

第十二章第二天早上，乌姆里奇·西莫教授飞快地穿好衣服，哈利还没来得及穿袜子，他就离开了宿舍。 “他以为他和我在一个房间里呆得太久就会变成疯子吗？”哈利大声问，这时西莫的袍子下摆一闪而过，看不见了。 “别担心，哈利，”迪安小声说，一边把书包扛到肩上，“他只是……”但显然他说不出西莫到底是什么人，在稍作尴尬的停顿之后，他跟着他走出了房间。

Neville and Ron both gave Harry an it's-his problem-not-yours look, but Harry was not much consoled. How much more of this would he have to take? 'What's the matter?' asked Hermione five minutes later, catching up with Harry and Ron halfway across the common room as they all headed towards breakfast. 'You look absolutely– Oh for heaven's sake.' She was staring at the common-room noticeboard, where a large new sign had been put up. GALLONS OF GALLEONS! Pocket money failing to keep pace with your outgoings? Like to earn a little extra gold? Contact Fred and George Weasley, Gryffindor common room, for simple, part-time, virtually painless jobs. (We regret that all work is undertaken at applicant's own risk.)

纳威和罗恩都用“这是他的问题，不是你的问题”的眼神看着哈利，但哈利并没有因此得到多少安慰。 他还要承受多少？ “怎么啦？”五分钟后，赫敏在公共休息室的半路上追上了哈利和罗恩，他们正要去吃早饭。 “你看上去绝对——哦，看在上帝的份上。”她目不转睛地盯着公共休息室的布告栏，上面贴了一块很大的新牌子。 加仑的加仑！零用钱跟不上你的支出？ 想赚点额外的金币吗？ 联系格兰芬多公共休息室的弗雷德和乔治·韦斯莱，找一份简单的兼职工作，几乎没有什么痛苦。 （我们很遗憾，所有工作的风险由申请人自行承担。）

'They are the limit,' said Hermione grimly, taking down the sign, which Fred and George had pinned up over a poster giving the date of the first Hogsmeade weekend, which was to be in October. 'We'll have to talk to them, Ron.' Ron looked positively alarmed. 'Why?' 'Because we're prefects!' said Hermione, as they climbed out through the portrait hole. 'It's up to us to stop this kind of thing!' Ron said nothing; Harry could tell from his glum expression that the prospect of stopping Fred and George doing exactly what they liked was not one he found inviting. 'Anyway, what's up, Harry?' Hermione continued, as they walked down a flight of stairs lined with portraits of old witches and wizards, all of whom ignored them, being engrossed in their own conversation. 'You look really angry about something.' 'Seamus reckons Harry's lying about You- Know-Who,' said Ron succinctly, when Harry did not respond.

“他们是极限了。”赫敏严肃地说，取下了弗雷德和乔治钉在一张海报上的牌子，上面写着霍格莫德村第一个周末的日期，是在十月份。 “我们得跟他们谈谈，罗恩。”罗恩显得十分惊慌。 “为什么?“因为我们是级长！”当他们从肖像洞口爬出来时，赫敏说。 “我们有责任阻止这种事情发生！”罗恩什么也没说。哈利从他闷闷不乐的表情可以看出，要阻止弗雷德和乔治为所欲为，对他来说并不是一件好事。 “不管怎样，怎么了，哈利？”赫敏接着说，这时他们走下一段楼梯，楼梯上挂着老巫师的肖像，他们都在全神贯注地交谈，没有理睬他们。 “你看起来很生气。“西莫认为哈利在神秘人的事上撒谎了。”看到哈利没有回答，罗恩简洁地说。

Hermione, who Harry had expected to react angrily on his behalf, sighed. 'Yes, Lavender thinks so too,' she said gloomily. 'Been having a nice little chat with her about whether or not I'm a lying, attention-seeking prat, have you?' Harry said loudly. 'No,' said Hermione calmly. 'I told her to keep her big fat mouth shut about you, actually. And it would be quite nice if you stopped jumping down our throats, Harry, because in case you haven't noticed, Ron and I are on your side.' There was a short pause. 'Sorry,' said Harry in a low voice. 'That's quite all right,' said Hermione with dignity. Then she shook her head. 'Don't you remember what Dumbledore said at the last end- of-term feast?' Harry and Ron both looked at her blankly and Hermione sighed again. 'About You-Know-Who. He said his "gift for spreading discord and enmity is very great. We

赫敏叹了口气，哈利原以为她会为他生气。 “是的，拉文德也这么想。”她忧郁地说。 “你和她好好聊了聊我是不是一个撒谎、寻求关注的傻瓜，是不是？”哈利大声说。 “没有。”赫敏平静地说。 “实际上，我叫她闭上她那张关于你的大嘴巴。 你最好别再对我们大吼大叫了，哈利，因为你可能还没注意到，罗恩和我是站在你这边的。”短暂的沉默。 “对不起。”哈利低声说。 “没关系。”赫敏有尊严地说。 然后她摇了摇头。“你不记得邓布利多在上次期末宴会上说的话了吗？”哈利和罗恩都茫然地看着她，赫敏又叹了口气。 的人一样。他说，他“散布不和和敌意的天赋非常大”。 我们

can fight it only by showing an equally strong bond of friendship and trust–"' 'How do you remember stuff like that?' asked Ron, looking at her in admiration. 'I listen, Ron,' said Hermione, with a touch of asperity. 'So do I, but I still couldn't tell you exactly what–' 'The point,' Hermione pressed on loudly, 'is that this sort of thing is exactly what Dumbledore was talking about. You-Know-Who's only been back two months and we've already started fighting among ourselves. And the Sorting Hat's warning was the same: stand together, be united–' 'And Harry got it right last night,' retorted Ron. 'If that means we're supposed to get matey with the Slytherins– fat chance.' 'Well, I think it's a pity we're not trying for a bit of inter-house unity,' said Hermione crossly. They had reached the foot of the marble staircase. A line of fourth-year Ravenclaws was crossing the Entrance Hall; they caught sight of

只有表现出同样牢固的友谊和信任才能战胜它——”“你怎么能记住这种东西？罗恩钦佩地看着她问。 “我听着，罗恩。”赫敏有点尖刻地说。 “关键是，”赫敏继续大声说，“这种事情正是邓布利多说的。 神秘人回来才两个月，我们就已经开始自相残杀了。 分院帽的警告也是一样：站在一起，团结一致——”“哈利昨晚说对了。”罗恩反驳道。 “如果这意味着我们应该和斯莱特林们交上朋友的话——不太可能。“嗯，我想我们不努力使学院内部团结起来是很遗憾的。”赫敏生气地说。 他们已经到了大理石楼梯的脚下。 拉文克劳四年级的学生排着队穿过门厅。他们看见了

Harry and hurried to form a tighter group, as though frightened he might attack stragglers. 'Yeah, we really ought to be trying to make friends with people like that,' said Harry sarcastically. They followed the Ravenclaws into the Great Hall, all looking instinctively at the staff table as they entered. Professor Grubbly-Plank was chatting to Professor Sinistra, the Astronomy teacher, and Hagrid was once again conspicuous only by his absence. The enchanted ceiling above them echoed Harry's mood; it was a miserable rain-cloud grey. 'Dumbledore didn't even mention how long that Grubbly-Plank woman's staying,' he said, as they made their way across to the Gryffindor table. 'Maybe…' said Hermione thoughtfully. 'What?' said both Harry and Ron together. 'Well… maybe he didn't want to draw attention to Hagrid not being here.'

哈利赶紧凑成更紧的一群，好像害怕他会攻击掉队的人。 “是啊，我们真的应该试着和这样的人交朋友。”哈利讽刺地说。 他们跟着拉文克劳同学走进礼堂，进屋时都本能地看着教工桌子。 格拉普兰教授正在和天文学老师辛尼斯塔教授聊天，海格又一次因为缺席而引人注目。 他们头顶上施了魔法的天花板呼应着哈利的心情。那是一片凄惨的雨云灰色。 “邓布利多甚至没有提到那个格拉普兰女人要待多久。”他们朝格兰芬多的桌子走去时，他说。 “也许……”赫敏若有所思地说。 “什么?哈利和罗恩异口同声说。 “嗯……也许他不想让大家注意到海格不在这里。”
