5 The Order of the Phoenix

CHAPTER FIVE The Order of the Phoenix 'Your–?' 'My dear old mum, yeah,' said Sirius. 'We've been trying to get her down for a month but we think she put a Permanent Sticking Charm on the back of the canvas. Let's get downstairs, quick, before they all wake up again.' 'But what's a portrait of your mother doing here?' Harry asked, bewildered, as they went through the door from the hall and led the way down a flight of narrow stone steps, the others just behind them.

第五章凤凰社的——？“我亲爱的妈妈，是的。”小天狼星说。 “一个月来，我们一直想把她弄下来，但我们认为她在画布背面施了永久粘贴咒。 趁他们还没醒来，赶紧下楼吧。“可是你母亲的画像怎么会在这儿呢？”哈利困惑地问。他们走出门厅，走下一段狭窄的石阶，其他人跟在后面。

'Hasn't anyone told you? This was my parents' house,' said Sirius. 'But I'm the last Black left, so it's mine now. I offered it to Dumbledore for Headquarters– about the only useful thing I've been able to do.' Harry, who had expected a better welcome, noted how hard and bitter Sirius's voice sounded. He followed his godfather to the bottom of the steps and through a door leading into the basement kitchen. It was scarcely less gloomy than the hall above, a cavernous room with rough stone walls. Most of the light was coming from a large fire at the far end of the room. A haze of pipe smoke hung in the air like battle fumes, through which loomed the menacing shapes of heavy iron pots and pans hanging from the dark ceiling. Many chairs had been crammed into the room for the meeting and a long wooden table stood in the middle of them, littered with rolls of parchment, goblets, empty wine bottles, and a heap of what appeared to be rags. Mr Weasley and his eldest son Bill were

“没人告诉你吗？”“这是我父母的房子。”小天狼星说。 “可我是布莱克家最后一个人，所以现在它是我的了。 我把它交给邓布利多当总部——这大概是我能做的唯一有用的事了。”哈利本以为会受到更热烈的欢迎，但他注意到小天狼星的声音是那么刺耳和苦涩。 他跟着教父走到台阶底下，穿过一扇通向地下室厨房的门。 它和上面的大厅一样阴暗，那是一个洞穴般的房间，墙壁是粗糙的石头。 大部分的光来自房间远端的一堆大火。 烟雾弥漫在空气中，就像战场上的硝烟，黑暗的天花板上挂着沉重的铁锅和铁锅，从烟雾中隐约可以看到它们可怕的样子。 为了开会，房间里塞了很多椅子，中间放着一张长长的木桌，上面散落着羊皮纸卷、高脚杯、空酒瓶，还有一堆破布。 韦斯莱先生和他的大儿子比尔

talking quietly with their heads together at the end of the table. Mrs Weasley cleared her throat. Her husband, a thin, balding, red-haired man who wore horn- rimmed glasses, looked around and jumped to his feet. 'Harry!' Mr Weasley said, hurrying forward to greet him, and shaking his hand vigorously. 'Good to see you!' Over his shoulder Harry saw Bill, who still wore his long hair in a ponytail, hastily rolling up the lengths of parchment left on the table. 'Journey all right, Harry?' Bill called, trying to gather up twelve scrolls at once. 'Mad-Eye didn't make you come via Greenland, then?' 'He tried,' said Tonks, striding over to help Bill and immediately toppling a candle on to the last piece of parchment. 'Oh no– sorry–' 'Here, dear,' said Mrs Weasley, sounding exasperated, and she repaired the parchment with a wave of her wand. In the flash of light caused by Mrs Weasley's charm Harry caught a glimpse of what looked like the plan of a building.

在桌子的一端，头靠在一起静静地交谈。 韦斯莱夫人清了清嗓子。 她的丈夫身材瘦削，秃顶，红头发，戴着牛角框眼镜。他环顾四周，跳了起来。 “哈利!”韦斯莱先生说着匆匆上前迎接他，使劲地握着他的手。 “见到你真高兴！”哈利回头看见比尔，他的长发依然扎着马尾，正在匆匆地把桌上剩下的羊皮纸卷起来。 “旅途还好吧，哈利？”比尔喊道，试图同时收集十二卷书卷。 “这么说，疯眼汉没有让你取道格陵兰岛？”“他试过了。”唐克斯说着大步走过去帮助比尔，立刻把一支蜡烛打翻在最后一张羊皮纸上。 “喂，亲爱的。”韦斯莱夫人说，声音听起来有些恼怒，她一挥魔杖把羊皮纸修好了。 在韦斯莱夫人的魔咒发出的闪光中，哈利瞥见了一幅建筑物的平面图。

Mrs Weasley had seen him looking. She snatched the plan off the table and stuffed it into Bill's already overladen arms. 'This sort of thing ought to be cleared away promptly at the end of meetings,' she snapped, before sweeping off towards an ancient dresser from which she started unloading dinner plates. Bill took out his wand, muttered, 'Evanesco!' and the scrolls vanished. 'Sit down, Harry,' said Sirius. 'You've met Mundungus, haven't you?' The thing Harry had taken to be a pile of rags gave a prolonged, grunting snore, then jerked awake. 'Some'n say m'name?' Mundungus mumbled sleepily. 'I 'gree with Sirius…' He raised a very grubby hand in the air as though voting, his droopy, bloodshot eyes unfocused. Ginny giggled. 'The meeting's over, Dung,' said Sirius, as they all sat down around him at the table. ikcjeo. 'Harry's arrived.'

韦斯莱夫人看见他在看。 她从桌上抓起计划，塞进比尔已经负担过重的怀里。 “这种东西应该在会议结束后立即清理干净。”她厉声说，然后走向一个古老的梳妆台，开始从那里卸下餐盘。 比尔拿出魔杖，喃喃地说：“伊万内斯科！”于是卷轴消失了。 “坐下，哈利。”小天狼星说。 “你见过蒙顿格斯，是不是？”哈利以为是一堆破布的东西发出一声长长的呼噜声，然后猛地醒了过来。 “有人说我的名字吗？”蒙顿格斯困倦地嘟囔着。 “我同意小天狼星的看法……”他举起一只脏兮兮的手，好像在投票，下垂的、充血的眼睛没有集中注意力。 金妮咯咯笑了。“会议结束了，顿格。”小天狼星说，这时大家都围着他在桌旁坐了下来。 “哈利的到来。”

'Eh?' said Mundungus, peering balefully at Harry through his matted ginger hair. 'Blimey, so 'e 'as. Yeah… you all right, 'Arry?' 'Yeah,' said Harry. Mundungus fumbled nervously in his pockets, still staring at Harry, and pulled out a grimy black pipe. He stuck it in his mouth, ignited the end of it with his wand and took a deep pull on it. Great billowing clouds of greenish smoke obscured him within seconds. 'Owe you a 'pology,' grunted a voice from the middle of the smelly cloud. 'For the last time, Mundungus,' called Mrs Weasley, 'will you please not smoke that thing in the kitchen, especially not when we're about to eat!' 'Ah,' said Mundungus. 'Right. Sorry, Molly.' The cloud of smoke vanished as Mundungus stowed his pipe back in his pocket, but an acrid smell of burning socks lingered. 'And if you want dinner before midnight I'll need a hand,' Mrs Weasley said to the room at

“是吗?蒙顿格斯说，透过他那乱蓬蓬的姜黄色头发恶狠狠地盯着哈利。 “天哪，他就是这样。”嗯……你没事吧，哈利？“是啊。”哈利说。 蒙顿格斯紧张地在口袋里摸索着，仍然盯着哈利，然后掏出一根脏兮兮的黑烟斗。 他把它塞进嘴里，用魔杖点燃了它的一端，然后深深地吸了一口。 几秒钟之内，滚滚的绿色烟雾就把他遮住了。 “我欠你一个道歉。”一个声音从臭气熏天的云层中间咕哝道。 “我再说最后一次，蒙顿格斯，”韦斯莱夫人喊道，“请你不要在厨房里抽那玩意儿，尤其是我们要吃饭的时候！“啊。”蒙顿格斯说。 的权利。对不起,莫莉。”蒙顿格斯把烟斗塞回口袋，烟雾消失了，但一股袜子烧焦的刺鼻气味犹存。 “如果你们想在午夜前吃晚饭，我需要一个帮手。

large. 'No, you can stay where you are, Harry dear, you've had a long journey.' 'What can I do, Molly?' said Tonks enthusiastically, bounding forwards. Mrs Weasley hesitated, looking apprehensive. 'Er– no, it's all right, Tonks, you have a rest too, you've done enough today.' 'No, no, I want to help!' said Tonks brightly, knocking over a chair as she hurried towards the dresser, from which Ginny was collecting cutlery. Soon, a series of heavy knives were chopping meat and vegetables of their own accord, supervised by Mr Weasley, while Mrs Weasley stirred a cauldron dangling over the fire and the others took out plates, more goblets and food from the pantry. Harry was left at the table with Sirius and Mundungus, who was still blinking at him mournfully. 'Seen old Figgy since?' he asked. 'No,' said Harry, 'I haven't seen anyone.' 'See, I wouldn't 'ave left,' said Mundungus, leaning forward, a pleading note in his voice, 'but

大。“不，你可以呆在这儿，亲爱的哈利，你刚走了很长的路。“我能做什么，莫利？”唐克斯兴奋地说，跳上前去。 韦斯莱夫人犹豫了一下，显得很担心。 “嗯——不，没关系，唐克斯，你也休息吧，你今天已经做得够多了。“不，不，我想帮忙！”唐克斯兴高采烈地说，一边撞翻了一把椅子，快步走向梳妆台，金妮正在那里收拾餐具。 不一会，一串沉重的刀子在韦斯莱先生的监督下，自己切肉切菜，韦斯莱夫人搅动着挂在火上的一口大锅，其他人从食品柜里拿出盘子、高脚杯和食物。 哈利和小天狼星和蒙顿格斯留在桌子旁，蒙顿格斯仍然悲伤地瞪着他。 “后来见过老菲吉吗？”他问。 “没有，”哈利说，“我没看见任何人。“你看，我是不会离开的，”蒙顿格斯向前倾着身子说，声音里带着恳求的意味，“可是
