29 The Phoenix Lament

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE The Phoenix Lament 'C'mere, Harry…' 'No.' 'You can' stay here, Harry… come on, now…' 'No.' He did not want to leave Dumbledore's side, he did not want to move anywhere. Hagrid's hand on his shoulder was trembling. Then another voice said, 'Harry, come on.' A much smaller and warmer hand had enclosed his and was pulling him upwards. He obeyed its pressure without really thinking about it. Only as he walked blindly back through the crowd did he realise, from a trace of flowery scent on the air,

第二十九章凤凰的挽歌“好了，哈利……”“你不能待在这里，哈利……快走吧……”他不想离开邓布利多身边，他哪儿也不想去。 海格放在他肩膀上的手在颤抖。 接着，另一个声音说：“哈利，走吧。”一只小得多、暖和得多的手抓住了他的手，把他往上拉。 他不假思索地服从了它的压力。 当他盲目地穿过人群往回走的时候，他才从空气中飘来的一丝花香中意识到，

that it was Ginny who was leading him back into the castle. Incomprehensible voices battered him, sobs and shouts and wails stabbed the night, but Harry and Ginny walked on, back up the steps into the Entrance Hall: faces swam on the edges of Harry's vision, people were peering at him, whispering, wondering, and Gryffindor rubies glistened on the floor like drops of blood as they made their way towards the marble staircase. 'We're going to the hospital wing,' said Ginny. 'I'm not hurt,' said Harry. 'It's McGonagall's orders,' said Ginny. 'Everyone's up there, Ron and Hermione and Lupin and everyone–' Fear stirred in Harry's chest again: he had forgotten the inert figures he had left behind. 'Ginny, who else is dead?' 'Don't worry, none of us.' 'But the Dark Mark– Malfoy said he stepped over a body–' 'He stepped over Bill, but it's all right, he's alive.'

是金妮带他回城堡的。 听不清的声音敲打着他，抽泣声、喊叫声和哀号刺痛了黑夜，但哈利和金妮继续往前走，走上台阶，进入门厅。面孔在哈利的视线边缘游动，人们盯着他，窃窃私语，疑惑不解，格兰芬多的红宝石在地板上闪闪发光，像血滴一样，他们走向大理石楼梯。 “我们要去医院。”金妮说。 “我没有受伤。”哈利说。 “这是麦格的命令。”金妮说。 “大家都在上面，罗恩、赫敏、卢平，还有所有的人——”恐惧又在哈利的胸膛里翻腾起来，他忘记了自己留下的那些一动不动的身影。 “金妮，还有谁死了？”“别担心，我们都没有。”“可是黑魔标记——马尔福说他踩到了一具尸体——”“他踩到了比尔，不过没关系，他还活着。”

There was something in her voice, however, that Harry knew boded ill. 'Are you sure?' 'Of course I'm sure… he's a– a bit of a mess, that's all. Greyback attacked him. Madam Pomfrey says he won't– won't look the same any more…' Ginny's voice trembled a little. 'We don't really know what the after-effects will be– I mean, Greyback being a werewolf, but not transformed at the time.' 'But the others… there were other bodies on the ground…' 'Neville's in the hospital wing, but Madam Pomfrey thinks he'll make a full recovery, and Professor Flitwick was knocked out, but he's all right, just a bit shaky. He insisted on going off to look after the Ravenclaws. And a Death Eater's dead, he got hit by a Killing Curse the huge blond one was firing off everywhere– Harry, if we hadn't had your Felix potion, I think we'd all have been killed, but everything seemed to just miss us–'

不过，哈利知道她的声音里有不祥之兆。 “你确定吗？”“当然，我敢肯定……他是——有点乱，仅此而已。” 格雷伯克攻击他。庞弗雷夫人说他不再——不再像以前那样了……”金妮的声音有些颤抖。 “我们真的不知道后果会是什么——我的意思是，格雷伯克是狼人，但当时并没有变形。“纳威在医院里，但庞弗雷夫人认为他会完全康复的，弗立维教授被打晕了，但他没事，只是有点发抖。” 他坚持要去照顾拉文克劳学生。 一个食死徒死了，他被那个大块头的金发食死徒发出的杀人魔咒击中了——哈利，如果我们没有喝了你的灵力剂，我想我们都被杀了，但一切似乎都没打中我们——”

They had reached the hospital wing: pushing open the doors, Harry saw Neville lying, apparently asleep, in a bed near the door. Ron, Hermione, Luna, Tonks and Lupin were gathered around another bed near the far end of the ward. At the sound of the doors opening, they all looked up. Hermione ran to Harry and hugged him; Lupin moved forwards too, looking anxious. 'Are you all right, Harry?' 'I'm fine… how's Bill?' Nobody answered. Harry looked over Hermione's shoulder and saw an unrecognisable face lying on Bill's pillow, so badly slashed and ripped that he looked grotesque. Madam Pomfrey was dabbing at his wounds with some harsh- smelling green ointment. Harry remembered how Snape had mended Malfoy's Sectumsempra wounds so easily with his wand. 'Can't you fix them with a charm or something?' he asked the matron. 'No charm will work on these,' said Madam Pomfrey. 'I've tried everything I know, but there is no cure for werewolf bites.'

他们来到医院，推开门，哈利看见纳威躺在门边的一张床上，显然已经睡着了。 罗恩、赫敏、卢娜、唐克斯和卢平围在病房另一头的一张床旁。 听到开门的声音，他们都抬起头来。 赫敏跑过去拥抱哈利。卢平也向前走了几步，显得很焦虑。 “你没事吧，哈利？”“我很好……比尔怎么样？”没有人回答。 哈利从赫敏的肩膀上望过去，看见比尔的枕头上躺着一张面目全非的脸，伤痕累累，看上去很怪。 庞弗雷夫人用一种气味刺鼻的绿色软膏擦着他的伤口。 哈利想起斯内普是怎样用魔杖轻而易举地治好马尔福的无神无影伤口的。 “你不能用符咒之类的东西把它们修好吗？”他问护士长。 “咒语对这些没用。”庞弗雷夫人说。 “我已经试过了我所知道的一切，但狼人咬伤没有治愈的办法。”

'But he wasn't bitten at the full moon,' said Ron, who was gazing down into his brother's face as though he could somehow force him to mend just by staring. 'Greyback hadn't transformed, so surely Bill won't be a–a real–?' He looked uncertainly at Lupin. 'No, I don't think that Bill will be a true werewolf,' said Lupin, 'but that does not mean that there won't be some contamination. Those are cursed wounds. They are unlikely ever to heal fully, and– and Bill might have some wolfish characteristics from now on.' 'Dumbledore might know something that'd work, though,' Ron said. 'Where is he? Bill fought those maniacs on Dumbledore's orders, Dumbledore owes him, he can't leave him in this state–' 'Ron– Dumbledore's dead,' said Ginny. 'No!' Lupin looked wildly from Ginny to Harry, as though hoping the latter might contradict her, but when Harry did not, Lupin collapsed into a chair beside Bill's bed, his hands over his face. Harry had never seen Lupin lose control before;

“但它不是在满月的时候被咬的。”罗恩说，他低头盯着哥哥的脸，好像只要盯着他就能强迫他恢复过来似的。 “格雷伯克没有变形，所以比尔肯定不会是真的——？”他拿不准地看着卢平。 “不，我认为比尔不会成为一个真正的狼人，”卢平说，“但这并不意味着不会有一些污染。 那些是被诅咒的伤口。它们不太可能完全愈合，而且比尔从现在开始可能会有一些狼的特征。“不过邓布利多可能知道什么有用的办法。”罗恩说。 “他在哪儿？”比尔是奉邓布利多的命和那些疯子作战的，邓布利多欠他的，他不能让他这样——” “不!”卢平疯狂地看看金妮，又看看哈利，似乎希望后者反驳她，但哈利没有反驳，卢平瘫倒在比尔床边的椅子上，双手捂着脸。 哈利以前从来没有见过卢平失控。

he felt as though he was intruding upon something private, indecent; he turned away and caught Ron's eye instead, exchanging in silence a look that confirmed what Ginny had said. 'How did he die?' whispered Tonks. 'How did it happen?' 'Snape killed him,' said Harry. 'I was there, I saw it. We arrived back on the Astronomy Tower because that's where the Mark was… Dumbledore was ill, he was weak, but I think he realised it was a trap when we heard footsteps running up the stairs. He immobilised me, I couldn't do anything, I was under the Invisibility Cloak– and then Malfoy came through the door and Disarmed him–' Hermione clapped her hands to her mouth, and Ron groaned. Luna's mouth trembled. '–more Death Eaters arrived– and then Snape– and Snape did it. The Avada Kedavra.' Harry couldn't go on. Madam Pomfrey burst into tears. Nobody paid her any attention except Ginny, who whispered, 'Shh! Listen!'

他觉得自己好像是在干涉一件不体面的私事；他转过身去，与罗恩的目光相遇了，两人默默地交换了一个眼神，证实了金妮的话。 “他是怎么死的？”唐克斯小声说。 “怎么回事？”“斯内普杀了他。”哈利说。 “我当时在场，我看到了。我们回到了天文塔，因为魔印就在那里……邓布利多病了，他很虚弱，但我想，当我们听到上楼的脚步声时，他意识到这是一个陷阱。 他把我固定住了，我什么也做不了，我穿着隐形衣——然后马尔福走了进来，解除了他的武装——”赫敏用手捂住嘴，罗恩呻吟着。 卢娜的嘴颤抖着。“——又来了几个食死徒——然后是斯内普——斯内普杀了他。 阿瓦达索命。”哈利说不下去了。 庞弗雷夫人哭了起来。 没有人注意她，只有金妮小声说：“嘘！听!”
