16 Godric’s Hollow

CHAPTER SIXTEEN GODRIC'S HOLLOW When Harry woke the following day it was several seconds before he remembered what had happened. Then he hoped, childishly, that it had been a dream, that Ron was still there and had never left. Yet by turning his head on his pillow he could see Ron's deserted bunk. It was like a dead body in the way it seemed to draw his eyes. Harry jumped down from his own bed,

第十六章戈德里克山谷第二天哈利醒来时，过了几秒钟才记起发生了什么事。 然后他孩子气地希望这是一场梦，希望罗恩还在那里，从来没有离开过。 他把头靠在枕头上，看见罗恩那张空无一人的铺位。 它吸引他目光的方式就像一具死尸。 哈利从自己的床上跳了下来，

keeping his eyes averted from Ron's. Hermione, who was already busy in the kitchen, did not wish Harry good morning, but turned her face away quickly as he went by. He's gone, Harry told himself. He's gone. He had to keep thinking it as he washed and dressed, as though repetition would dull the shock of it. He's gone and he's not coming back. And that was the simple truth of it, Harry knew, because their protective enchantments meant that it would be impossible, once they vacated this spot, for Ron to find them again. He and Hermione ate breakfast in silence. Hermione's eyes were puffy and red; she looked as if she had not slept. They packed up their things, Hermione dawdling. Harry knew why she wanted to spin out their time on the riverbank; several times he saw her look up eagerly, and he was sure she had deluded herself into thinking that she heard footsteps through the heavy rain, but no

他的眼睛一直避开罗恩的眼睛。 赫敏已经在厨房里忙得不可开交了，她没有向哈利道早安，而是在他走过的时候迅速扭过头去。 他走了。哈利对自己说。 他走了。他一边洗衣服，一边不停地想这件事，好像重复这件事就能减轻他的震惊。 他走了，不会再回来了。 这是一个简单的事实，哈利知道，因为他们身上的保护魔法意味着，一旦他们离开这个地方，罗恩就不可能再找到他们了。 他和赫敏默默地吃着早饭。 赫敏的眼睛又肿又红；她看上去好像没睡过。 他们收拾东西，赫敏慢吞吞地走着。 哈利知道她为什么想在河岸消磨时间。有几次他看到她急切地抬起头来，他肯定她是自欺欺人地以为在大雨中听到了脚步声，但事实并非如此

red-haired figure appeared between the trees. Every time Harry imitated her, looked around (for he could not help hoping a little, himself) and saw nothing but rain-swept woods, another little parcel of fury exploded inside him. He could hear Ron saying, "We thought you knew what you were doing!", and he resumed packing with a hard knot in the pit of his stomach. The muddy river beside them was rising rapidly and would soon spill over onto their bank. They had lingered a good hour after they would usually have departed their campsite. Finally having entirely repacked the beaded bag three times, Hermione seemed unable to find any more reasons to delay: She and Harry grasped hands and Disapparated, reappearing on a windswept heather-covered hillside. The instant they arrived, Hermione dropped Harry's hand and walked away from him, finally sitting down on a large rock, her face on her

树间出现了一个红发人影。 每当哈利模仿她，环顾四周（因为他自己也忍不住抱有一点希望），除了被雨淋过的树林什么也没看见时，他心里就会爆发出另一股小小的愤怒。 他听见罗恩在说：“我们还以为你知道自己在干什么呢！”他继续收拾东西，心里像打了个硬疙瘩。 他们身边浑浊的河水涨得很快，很快就会涌上他们的河岸。 他们在通常离开营地后又逗留了一个多小时。 最后，赫敏把串珠包重新装了三次，似乎再也找不到任何拖延的理由了。她和哈利手拉着手，幻影移形，出现在被风吹过、长满石南花的山坡上。 他们一到，赫敏就放下哈利的手，走开了，最后坐在一块大石头上，脸贴在自己身上

knees, shaking with what he knew were sobs. He watched her, supposing that he ought to go and comfort her, but something kept him rooted to the spot. Everything inside him felt cold and tight: Again he saw the contemptuous expression on Ron's face. Harry strode off through the heather, walking in a large circle with the distraught Hermione at its center, casting the spells she usually performed to ensure their protection. They did not discuss Ron at all over the next few days. Harry was determined never to mention his name again, and Hermione seemed to know that it was no use forcing the issue, although sometimes at night when she thought he was sleeping, he would hear her crying. Meanwhile Harry had started bringing out the Marauder's Map and examining it by wandlight. He was waiting for the moment when Ron's labeled dot would reappear in the corridors of Hogwarts, proving that he had returned to the comfortable

膝盖颤抖着，他知道这是在抽泣。 他注视着她，以为自己应该去安慰她，但某种东西使他一动不动。 他心里觉得又冷又紧，又看到了罗恩脸上轻蔑的表情。 哈利大步穿过石南丛，绕着一个大圈走着，心急如焚的赫敏在圈中央，一边念着她平时用来保护他们的咒语。 在接下来的几天里，他们根本没有谈论罗恩。 哈利决心再也不提他的名字，赫敏似乎也知道强求是没有用的，尽管有时候在夜里，赫敏以为哈利睡着了，他还是会听到她的哭声。 与此同时，哈利开始拿出活点地图，用魔杖照着看。 他在等待罗恩的标记点重新出现在霍格沃茨走廊上的那一刻，证明他已经回到了舒适的地方

castle, protected by his status of pureblood. However, Ron did not appear on the map, and after a while Harry found himself taking it out simply to stare at Ginny's name in the girls' dormitory, wondering whether the intensity with which he gazed at it might break into her sleep, that she would somehow know he was thinking about her, hoping that she was all right. By day, they devoted themselves to trying to determine the possible locations of Gryffindor's sword, but the more they talked about the places in which Dumbledore might have hidden it, the more desperate and far-fetched their speculation became. Cudgel his brains though he might, Harry could not remember Dumbledore ever mentioning a place in which he might hide something. There were moments when he did not know whether he was angrier with Ron or with Dumbledore. We thought you knew what you were doing.... We

城堡，受他纯种血统的保护。 然而，罗恩没有出现在地图上。过了一会儿，哈利发现自己把地图拿出来，只是为了在女生宿舍里盯着金妮的名字，不知道他盯得那么紧，会不会打断她的睡眠，让她不知怎么知道他在想她，希望她一切都好。 白天，他们一心想着格兰芬多的宝剑可能藏在什么地方，但他们越讨论邓布利多可能把宝剑藏在什么地方，他们的猜测就越绝望，越牵强。 尽管哈利绞尽脑汁，但他想不起来邓布利多曾经提过一个可以藏东西的地方。 有时候，他不知道是对罗恩更生气，还是对邓布利多更生气。 我们以为你知道自己在做什么.... 我们

thought Dumbledore had told you what to do.... We thought you had a real plan! He could not hide it from himself: Ron had been right. Dumbledore had left him with virtually nothing. They had discovered one Horcrux, but they had no means of destroying it: The others were as unattainable as they had ever been. Hopelessness threatened to engulf him. He was staggered now to think of his own presumption in accepting his friends' offers to accompany him on this meandering, pointless journey. He knew nothing, he had no ideas, and he was constantly, painfully on the alert for any indication that Hermione too was about to tell him that she had had enough, that she was leaving. They were spending many evenings in near silence, and Hermione took to bringing out Phineas Nigellus's portrait and propping it up in a chair, as though he might fill part of the gaping hole left by Ron's departure. Despite his previous

我以为邓布利多已经告诉你该怎么做了.... 我们还以为你有计划呢！他无法对自己隐瞒：罗恩是对的。 邓布利多几乎什么也没留给他。 他们发现了一个魂器，但没有办法摧毁它，其他的魂器和以前一样遥不可及。 绝望似乎要把他吞没。 他现在想到自己竟然接受了朋友们的邀请，陪他踏上这趟曲折而毫无意义的旅程，不禁大吃一惊。 他什么也不知道，毫无头绪，他一直痛苦地警惕着，生怕赫敏也会告诉他她受够了，她要离开了。 有好几个晚上，他们几乎是在沉默中度过的，赫敏喜欢把菲尼亚斯·奈杰勒斯的肖像拿出来，放在椅子上，好像他可以填补罗恩离开后留下的部分空缺。 尽管他之前
