26 Gringotts

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX GRINGOTTS Their plans were made, their preparations complete; in the smallest bedroom a single long, coarse black hair (plucked from the sweater Hermione had been wearing at Malfoy Manor) lay curled in a small glass phial on the mantelpiece.

第二十六章古灵阁他们计划好了，准备好了；在最小的一间卧室里，壁炉架上的一个小玻璃瓶里，卷着一根又长又粗的黑发（是从赫敏在马尔福庄园穿的毛衣上拔下来的）。

"And you'll be using her actual wand," said Harry, nodding toward the walnut wand, "so I reckon you'll be pretty convincing." Hermione looked frightened that the wand might sting or bite her as she picked it up. "I hate this thing," she said in a low voice. "I really hate it. It feels all wrong, it doesn't work properly for me.... It's like a bit of her." Harry could not help but remember how Hermione had dismissed his loathing of the blackthorn wand, insisting that he was imagining things when it did not work as well as his own, telling him to simply practice. He chose not to repeat her own advice back to her, however; the eve of their attempted assault on Gringotts felt like the wrong moment to antagonize her. "It'll probably help you get in character, though," said Ron. "Think what that wand's done!"

“你将使用她的真魔杖，”哈利指着那根胡桃木魔杖说，“所以我认为你会很有说服力。” 赫敏看上去很害怕，生怕魔杖在她捡起来的时候会叮她或者咬她。 “我讨厌这东西，”她低声说。 “我真的很讨厌它。感觉都不对，它不能正常工作为我.... 就像她的一部分。”哈利不禁想起赫敏是如何不理会他对黑刺李木魔杖的厌恶的，她坚持说他是在想象一些东西，而那根魔杖没有他自己的魔杖好用，她告诉他只要练习就行了。 然而，他决定不把她自己的建议重复给她听；在他们企图袭击古灵阁的前夕，我觉得跟她作对不是时候。 “不过，它可能会帮助你进入角色。”罗恩说。 “想想那根魔杖都干了些什么！”

"But that's my point!" said Hermione. "This is the wand that tortured Neville's mum and dad, and who knows how many other people? This is the wand that killed Sirius!" Harry had not thought of that: He looked down at the wand and was visited by a brutal urge to snap it, to slice it in half with Gryffindor's sword, which was propped against the wall beside him. "I miss my wand," Hermione said miserably. "I wish Mr. Ollivander could have made me another one too." Mr. Ollivander had sent Luna a new wand that morning. She was out on the back lawn at that moment, testing its capabilities in the late afternoon sun. Dean, who had lost his wand to the Snatchers, was watching rather gloomily. Harry looked down at the hawthorn wand that had once belonged to Draco Malfoy. He had been surprised, but pleased, to discover that it worked for him at least as well as Hermione's had done.

“但这正是我要说的！”赫敏说。 “就是这根魔杖折磨过纳威的父母，谁知道还有多少人？” 这就是杀死小天狼星的魔杖！”哈利没有想到这一点，他低头看了看魔杖，突然有一种强烈的冲动，想把它折断，用格兰芬多的宝剑把它切成两半，那把宝剑靠在他身边的墙上。 “我想念我的魔杖。”赫敏痛苦地说。 “我真希望奥利凡德先生也能给我做一个。” 那天早上，奥利凡德先生给卢娜送来了一根新魔杖。 当时她正在后院的草坪上，在傍晚的阳光下测试它的性能。 迪安的魔杖被搜捕队员夺去了，他闷闷不乐地看着。 哈利低头看着那根曾经属于德拉科·马尔福的山楂树魔杖。 他很惊讶，但也很高兴地发现，这招至少和赫敏的一样管用。

Remembering what Ollivander had told them of the secret workings of wands, Harry thought he knew what Hermione's problem was: She had not won the walnut wand's allegiance by taking it personally from Bellatrix. The door of the bedroom opened and Griphook entered. Harry reached instinctively for the hilt of the sword and drew it close to him, but regretted his action at once: He could tell that the goblin had noticed. Seeking to gloss over the sticky moment, he said, "We've just been checking the last-minute stuff, Griphook. We've told Bill and Fleur we're leaving tomorrow, and we've told them not to get up to see us off." They had been firm on this point, because Hermione would need to transform into Bellatrix before they left, and the less that Bill and Fleur knew or suspected about what they were about to do, the better. They had also explained that they would not be returning. fclnef. As they had lost Perkins's

哈利想起奥利凡德对他们讲过的魔杖的秘密作用，他想他知道赫敏的问题是什么了：她不是通过从贝拉特里克斯手里夺走胡桃木魔杖而赢得它的忠诚的。 卧室的门开了，拉环走了进来。 哈利本能地伸手去拿剑柄，把它凑近自己，但马上就后悔了。他看得出妖精已经注意到了。 为了掩饰这一尴尬时刻，他说：“我们刚刚检查了最后一分钟的东西，拉环。 我们已经告诉比尔和芙蓉我们明天就要走了，还叫他们不要起来给我们送行。” 他们在这一点上一直很坚定，因为赫敏需要在他们离开之前变成贝拉特里克斯，而比尔和芙蓉对他们将要做的事情知道或怀疑得越少越好。 他们还解释说他们不会再回来了。 就像他们失去了珀金斯一样

old tent on the night that the Snatchers caught them, Bill had lent them another one. It was now packed inside the beaded bag, which, Harry was impressed to learn, Hermione had protected from the Snatchers by the simple expedient of stuffing it down her sock. Though he would miss Bill, Fleur, Luna, and Dean, not to mention the home comforts they had enjoyed over the last few weeks, Harry was looking forward to escaping the confinement of Shell Cottage. He was tired of trying to make sure that they were not overheard, tired of being shut in the tiny, dark bedroom. Most of all, he longed to be rid of Griphook. However, precisely how and when they were to part from the goblin without handing over Gryffindor's sword remained a question to which Harry had no answer. It had been impossible to decide how they were going to do it, because the goblin rarely left Harry, Ron, and Hermione alone together for more than five

在搜捕队抓住他们的那天晚上，比尔又借给了他们一顶旧帐篷。 现在它被装进了串珠包里。哈利惊讶地发现，赫敏把它塞进袜子里，用一种简单的权宜之计保护了它，没有被搜捕队员抓到。 虽然他会想念比尔、芙蓉、卢娜和迪安，更不用说他们在过去几个星期里享受的家庭舒适了，但哈利还是盼望着逃离贝壳小屋的禁锢。 他厌倦了努力不让别人听到他们说话，厌倦了被关在又小又黑的卧室里。 最重要的是，他渴望摆脱拉环。 然而，究竟如何以及何时才能在不交出格兰芬多宝剑的情况下与妖精分开，这仍然是一个哈利无法回答的问题。 他们不可能决定怎么做，因为妖精很少让哈利、罗恩和赫敏单独在一起超过五分钟

minutes at a time: "He could give my mother lessons," growled Ron, as the goblin's long fingers kept appearing around the edges of doors. With Bill's warning in mind, Harry could not help suspecting that Griphook was on the watch for possible skulduggery. Hermione disapproved so heartily of the planned double-cross that Harry had given up attempting to pick her brains on how best to do it; Ron, on the rare occasions that they had been able to snatch a few Griphook-free moments, had come up with nothing better than "We'll just have to wing it, mate." Harry slept badly that night. Lying awake in the early hours, he thought back to the way he had felt the night before they had infiltrated the Ministry of Magic and remembered a determination, almost an excitement. Now he was experiencing jolts of anxiety, nagging doubts: He could not shake off the fear that it was all going to go wrong. He kept telling himself that their plan was good, that

“他可以给我妈妈上课。”罗恩咆哮道，因为妖精的长手指不断地出现在门边。 考虑到比尔的警告，哈利不禁怀疑拉环正在监视着可能的骗局。 赫敏非常不赞成这个计划中的两手抓，哈利已经放弃向她讨教如何最好地做到这一点。罗恩难得有几次能抓住拉环不在身边的机会，他只能说：“我们只能临场发挥了，伙计。” 那天晚上哈利睡得不好。 凌晨时分，他躺在床上睡不着，回想着潜入魔法部的前一天晚上的感觉，想起了一种决心，几乎是一种兴奋。 现在，他正在经历焦虑的冲击和挥之不去的怀疑：他无法摆脱一切都会出错的恐惧。 他一直告诉自己他们的计划很好
