20 Lord Voldemort’s Request

CHAPTER TWENTY Lord Voldemort's Request Harry and Ron left the hospital wing first thing on Monday morning, restored to full health by the ministrations of Madam Pomfrey and now able to enjoy the benefits of having been knocked out and poisoned, the best of which was that Hermione was friends with Ron again. Hermione even escorted them down to breakfast, bringing with her the news that Ginny had argued with Dean. The drowsing creature in Harry's chest suddenly raised its head, sniffing the air hopefully. 'What did they row about?' he asked, trying to sound casual as they turned into a seventh-floor

第二十章伏地魔的请求哈利和罗恩星期一早上第一件事就是离开医院，在庞弗雷夫人的照料下完全恢复了健康，现在可以享受被打昏和下毒的好处了，其中最好的是赫敏又和罗恩做了朋友。 赫敏甚至陪他们下楼去吃早饭，还带来了金妮和迪安吵架的消息。 哈利胸口那个昏昏欲睡的家伙突然抬起头，满怀希望地嗅着空气。 “他们吵什么呢？”他问道，试图让自己听起来很随意，这时他们已经进入了七楼

corridor which was deserted but for a very small girl who had been examining a tapestry of trolls in tutus. She looked terrified at the sight of the approaching sixth-years and dropped the heavy brass scales she was carrying. 'It's all right!' said Hermione kindly, hurrying forwards to help her. 'Here…' She tapped the broken scales with her wand and said, 'Reparo.' The girl did not say thank you, but remained rooted to the spot as they passed and watched them out of sight; Ron glanced back at her. 'I swear they're getting smaller,' he said. 'Never mind her,' said Harry, a little impatiently. 'What did Ginny and Dean row about, Hermione?' 'Oh, Dean was laughing about McLaggen hitting that Bludger at you,' said Hermione. 'It must've looked funny,' said Ron reasonably. 'It didn't look funny at all!' said Hermione hotly. 'It looked terrible, and if Coote and Peakes hadn't caught Harry he could have been very badly hurt!'

走廊里空无一人，只有一个很小的女孩在看一幅穿着芭蕾舞裙的巨怪挂毯。 她看到迎面走来的六年级学生，吓了一跳，手里沉重的铜秤掉在地上。 “没关系！”赫敏和蔼地说，急忙上前帮助她。 “给……”她用魔杖敲了敲破碎的天平，说道：“恢复原状。”他们走过的时候，那姑娘没有说谢谢，只是一动不动地站在那里，望着他们消失在人们的视线之外。罗恩回头看了她一眼。 他说，我发誓它们越来越小了。 “别管她。”哈利有点不耐烦地说。 “金妮和迪安吵什么了，赫敏？”“哦，迪安在笑麦克拉根用游走球打你。”赫敏说。 “看上去一定很滑稽。”罗恩理智地说。 “它看起来一点也不滑稽！”赫敏生气地说。 “看起来很可怕，如果不是古特和珀克斯抓住哈利，他可能会伤得很重！”

'Yeah, well, there was no need for Ginny and Dean to split up over it,' said Harry, still trying to sound casual. 'Or are they still together?' 'Yes, they are– but why are you so interested?' asked Hermione, giving Harry a sharp look. 'I just don't want my Quidditch team messed up again!' he said hastily, but Hermione continued to look suspicious, and he was most relieved when a voice behind them called, 'Harry!', giving him an excuse to turn his back on her. 'Oh, hi, Luna.' 'I went to the hospital wing to find you,' said Luna, rummaging in her bag. 'But they said you'd left…' She thrust what appeared to be a green onion, a large spotted toadstool and a considerable amount of what looked like cat litter into Ron's hands, finally pulling out a rather grubby scroll of parchment that she handed to Harry. '…I've been told to give you this.' It was a small roll of parchment, which Harry recognised at once as another invitation to a lesson

“是啊，好吧，金妮和迪安没必要为此闹翻。”哈利说，仍然装出漫不经心的样子。 “还是他们还在一起？”“是的，他们是——但是你为什么这么感兴趣呢？”赫敏问，狠狠地瞪了哈利一眼。 “我只是不想让我的魁地奇球队再出乱子！”他急忙说，但赫敏还是一副怀疑的样子。这时，他们身后一个声音喊道：“哈利！这就给了他一个背对她的借口。 “哦，嗨，卢娜。“我去医院找你了。”卢娜说着，在包里翻找着。 “可是他们说你已经走了……”她把一个像葱一样的东西、一个带斑点的大毒菌和一大堆像猫砂一样的东西塞到罗恩手里，最后抽出一卷脏兮兮的羊皮纸递给哈利。 “……有人叫我把这个给你。”那是一小卷羊皮纸，哈利立刻认出这是又一次邀请他去上课

with Dumbledore. 'Tonight,' he told Ron and Hermione, once he had unrolled it. 'Nice commentary last match!' said Ron to Luna, as she took back the green onion, the toadstool and the cat litter. Luna smiled vaguely. 'You're making fun of me, aren't you?' she said. 'Everyone says I was dreadful.' 'No, I'm serious!' said Ron earnestly. 'I can't remember enjoying commentary more! What is this, by the way?' he added, holding the onionlike object up to eye-level. 'Oh, it's a Gurdyroot,' she said, stuffing the cat litter and the toadstool back into her bag. 'You can keep it if you like, I've got a few of them. They're really excellent for warding off Gulping Plimpies.' And she walked away, leaving Ron chortling, still clutching the Gurdyroot. 'You know, she's grown on me, Luna,' he said, as they set off again for the Great Hall. 'I know she's insane, but it's in a good–'

邓布利多。“今晚。”他把它打开后对罗恩和赫敏说。 “上一场比赛的精彩解说！”卢娜把大葱、毒菌和猫砂拿回来时，罗恩对她说。 卢娜淡淡地笑了笑。“你在取笑我，是不是？”她说。 “每个人都说我糟透了。“不，我是认真的！”罗恩认真地问。 “我从来没有像现在这样喜欢评论！”顺便问一下，这是什么？他把这个洋葱状的东西举到眼睛的高度，补充道。 “哦，这是根草。”她说着，把猫砂和毒菌塞回包里。 “如果你愿意，你可以留着，我有一些。 它们对抵御咽球魔真的很有效。”她走开了，留下罗恩咯咯地笑着，手里还抓着葛迪根。 “你知道，卢娜，我越来越喜欢她了。”他说，这时他们又朝礼堂走去。 “我知道她疯了，但这是好的——”

He stopped talking very suddenly. Lavender Brown was standing at the foot of the marble staircase looking thunderous. 'Hi,' said Ron nervously. 'C'mon,' Harry muttered to Hermione, and they sped past, though not before they had heard Lavender say, 'Why didn't you tell me you were getting out today? And why was she with you?' Ron looked both sulky and annoyed when he appeared at breakfast half an hour later, and though he sat with Lavender, Harry did not see them exchange a word all the time they were together. Hermione was acting as though she was quite oblivious to all of this, but once or twice Harry saw an inexplicable smirk cross her face. All that day she seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and that evening in the common room she even consented to look over (in other words, finish writing) Harry's Herbology essay, something she had been resolutely refusing to do up to that point, because she had known that Harry would then let Ron copy his work.

他突然不说话了。 拉文德·布朗站在大理石楼梯脚下，怒不可遏。 “嗨。”罗恩紧张地说。“走吧。”哈利小声对赫敏说，他们匆匆走过，但他们听到拉文德说：“你为什么不告诉我你今天要出去？ 她为什么跟你在一起？”半小时后吃早饭的时候，罗恩又气又恼。虽然他和拉文德坐在一起，哈利却一直没看见他们说过话。 赫敏表现得好像完全没有注意到这一切，但有一两次，哈利看到她脸上掠过一种莫名其妙的傻笑。 那天一整天，她的心情似乎都特别好。那天晚上在公共休息室里，她甚至同意帮哈利看一看（换句话说，帮他写完）草药学的论文，而在此之前，她一直坚决拒绝这么做，因为她知道哈利会让罗恩抄他的作业。

'Thanks a lot, Hermione,' said Harry, giving her a hasty pat on the back as he checked his watch and saw that it was nearly eight o'clock. 'Listen, I've got to hurry or I'll be late for Dumbledore…' She did not answer, but merely crossed out a few of his feebler sentences in a weary sort of way. Grinning, Harry hurried out through the portrait hole and off to the Headmaster's office. The gargoyle leapt aside at the mention of toffee eclairs and Harry took the spiral staircase two steps at a time, knocking on the door just as a clock within chimed eight. 'Enter,' called Dumbledore, but as Harry put out a hand to push the door, it was wrenched open from inside. There stood Professor Trelawney. 'Aha!' she cried, pointing dramatically at Harry as she blinked at him through her magnifying spectacles. 'So this is the reason I am to be thrown unceremoniously from your office, Dumbledore!' 'My dear Sybill,' said Dumbledore in a slightly exasperated voice, 'there is no question of throwing you unceremoniously from anywhere,

“非常感谢，赫敏。”哈利说着匆匆拍了拍她的后背，看了看表，发现已经快八点了。 “听着，我得快点了，不然见邓布利多就要迟到了……”她没有回答，只是疲倦地划掉了他几个不太有力的句子。 哈利咧嘴一笑，匆匆穿过肖像洞口，向校长办公室走去。 一提到太妃糖泡芙，石像鬼就跳到一边去了。哈利一步两级地走上螺旋形楼梯，敲门时，里面的钟正敲八点。 “进来。”邓布利多叫道，但当哈利伸手推门时，门被从里面拧开了。 特里劳妮教授站在那里。 “啊哈!”她叫道，戏剧性地指着哈利，透过放大镜朝他眨了眨眼睛。 “这就是我被粗暴地赶出你办公室的原因，邓布利多！”“我亲爱的西比尔，”邓布利多有点恼火地说，“我不可能随便把你从任何地方扔出去，
