30 The Sacking of Severus Snape

CHAPTER THIRTY THE SACKING OF SEVERUS SNAPE The moment her finger touched the Mark, Harry's scar burned savagely, the starry room vanished from sight, and he was standing upon an outcrop of rock beneath a cliff, and the sea was washing around him and there was triumph in his heart— They have the boy.

第三十章西弗勒斯·斯内普她的手指一碰到标记，哈利的伤疤就剧烈地灼烧起来，满天星光的房间从眼前消失了，他站在悬崖下一块露出地面的岩石上，海水在他周围冲刷着，他心中有一种胜利的感觉——他们抓住了那个男孩。

A loud bang brought Harry back to where he stood: Disoriented, he raised his wand, but the witch before him was already falling forward; she hit the ground so hard that the glass in the bookcases tinkled. "I've never Stunned anyone except in our D.A. lessons," said Luna, sounding mildly interested. "That was noisier than I thought it would be." And sure enough, the ceiling had begun to tremble. Scurrying, echoing footsteps were growing louder from behind the door leading to the dormitories: Luna's spell had woken Ravenclaws sleeping above. "Luna, where are you? I need to get under the Cloak!" Luna's feet appeared out of nowhere; he hurried to her side and she let the Cloak fall back over them as the door opened and a stream of Ravenclaws, all in their nightclothes, flooded into the common room. There were gasps and cries of

砰的一声巨响，哈利回到了他站着的地方。他迷失了方向，举起魔杖，但面前的女巫已经向前倒下了。她重重地撞在地上，把书架上的玻璃撞得叮当作响。 “除了D.A.，我从来没有击昏过任何人 卢娜说，听起来有点感兴趣。 “比我想象的还要吵。” 果然，天花板开始颤抖了。 从通往宿舍的门后面传来了急促的脚步声，回音越来越响：卢娜的咒语把睡在上面的拉文克劳吵醒了。 “卢娜，你在哪儿？”我要到隐形衣下面去！”卢娜的脚不知从哪里冒了出来。哈利赶紧走到她身边，她让隐形衣落在他们身上，门开了，一群穿着睡衣的拉文克劳学生涌进了公共休息室。 有喘气声和叫喊声

surprise as they saw Alecto lying there unconscious. Slowly they shuffled in around her, a savage beast that might wake at any moment and attack them. Then one brave little first-year darted up to her and prodded her backside with his big toe. "I think she might be dead!" he shouted with delight. "Oh, look," whispered Luna happily, as the Ravenclaws crowded in around Alecto. "They're pleased!" "Yeah... great..." Harry closed his eyes, and as his scar throbbed he chose to sink again into Voldemort's mind... He was moving along the tunnel into the first cave... He had chosen to make sure of the locket before coming... but that would not take him long.... There was a rap on the common room door and every Ravenclaw froze. From the other side, Harry

当他们看到阿莱克托不省人事地躺在那里时，感到很惊讶。 他们慢慢地绕到她身边，就像一只随时可能醒来攻击他们的野兽。 然后，一个勇敢的一年级新生冲向她，用大脚趾戳了戳她的后背。 “我想她可能死了！”他高兴地喊道。 “哦，看。”卢娜高兴地小声说，这时拉文克劳的学生们都把阿莱克托团团围住了。 “他们很高兴!”“是啊…… 伟大的……”哈利闭上眼睛，伤疤在隐隐作痛，他选择再次沉入伏地魔的思想…… 他沿着隧道进入了第一个洞穴。 他决定在来之前把挂坠盒弄清楚…… 但这不会花他很长时间.... 公共休息室的门上响起了敲击声，每个拉文克劳学生都僵住了。 从另一边，哈利

heard the soft, musical voice that issued from the eagle door knocker: "Where do Vanished objects go?" "I dunno, do I? Shut it!" snarled an uncouth voice that Harry knew was that of the Carrow brother, Amycus. "Alecto? Alecto? Are you there? Have you got him? Open the door!" The Ravenclaws were whispering amongst themselves, terrified. Then, without warning, there came a series of loud bangs, as though somebody was firing a gun into the door. "ALECTO! If he comes, and we haven't got Potter— d'you want to go the same way as the Malfoys? ANSWER ME!" Amycus bellowed, shaking the door for all he was worth, but still it did not open. The Ravenclaws were all backing away, and some of the most frightened began scampering back up the staircase to their beds. Then, just as Harry was wondering whether he ought not to blast open the door and Stun Amycus

听到鹰形门环发出轻柔悦耳的声音：“消失的物品都去了哪里？”“我不知道，是吗？” 闭嘴！”一个粗鲁的声音咆哮道，哈利知道那是卡罗的哥哥阿米库斯。 “阿勒克图?阿勒克图吗?你在吗？ 你找到他了吗？快开门！”拉文克劳的同学们都吓坏了，互相窃窃私语。 然后，毫无预兆地，传来了一连串的巨响，好像有人朝门开了枪。 “阿勒克图!如果他来了，而我们又没有波特——你愿意跟马尔福一家走同样的路吗？ 回答我!”阿米库斯吼道，使劲摇晃着门，但门还是没有开。 拉文克劳的学生都往后退，一些最害怕的学生开始蹦蹦跳地爬上楼梯，回到自己的床上。 然后，就在哈利犹豫是否应该炸开房门，把阿米库斯打晕的时候

before the Death Eater could do anything else, a second, most familiar voice rang out beyond the door. "May I ask what you are doing, Professor Carrow?" "Trying— to get— through this damned— door!" shouted Amycus. "Go and get Flitwick! Get him to open it, now!" "But isn't your sister in there?" asked Professor McGonagall. "Didn't Professor Flitwick let her in earlier this evening, at your urgent request? Perhaps she could open the door for you? Then you needn't wake up half the castle." "She ain't answering, you old besom! You open it! Garn! Do it, now!" "Certainly, if you wish it," said Professor McGonagall, with awful coldness. There was a genteel tap of the knocker and the musical voice asked again, "Where do Vanished objects go?"

食死徒还没来得及做什么，门外又响起了第二个最熟悉的声音。 “我可以问一下你在做什么吗，卡罗教授？”“想——想通过——这扇该死的——门！”阿米库斯喊道。 “去找弗立维！”让他打开门，马上！”“可是你妹妹不是也在里面吗？”麦格教授问。 “今天晚上早些时候，弗立维教授不是应你的紧急请求让她进来的吗？” 也许她能帮你开门？ 这样你就不用把半个城堡的人都吵醒了。” “她不回答，你这个老家伙！”你打开它！接着说下去! !现在就动手吧！”“当然可以，如果你愿意的话。”麦格教授冷冷地说。 门环轻轻地敲了一下，那悦耳的声音又问：“消失物都去了哪里？”

"Into nonbeing, which is to say, everything," replied Professor McGonagall. "Nicely phrased," replied the eagle door knocker, and the door swung open. The few Ravenclaws who had remained behind sprinted for the stairs as Amycus burst over the threshold, brandishing his wand. Hunched like his sister, he had a pallid, doughy face and tiny eyes, which fell at once on Alecto, sprawled motionless on the floor. He let out a yell of fury and fear. "What've they done, the little whelps?" he screamed. "I'll Cruciate the lot of 'em till they tell me who did it— and what's the Dark Lord going to say?" he shrieked, standing over his sister and smacking himself on the forehead with his fist. "We haven't got him, and they've gorn and killed her!" "She's only Stunned," said Professor McGonagall impatiently, who had stooped down to examine Alecto. "She'll be perfectly all right."

“化为乌有，也就是说，化为一切。”麦格教授回答。 “说得好。”鹰形门环答道，门就开了。 留下来的几个拉文克劳学生冲向楼梯，阿米库斯挥舞着魔杖冲进了门槛。 他像他妹妹一样驼背，脸色苍白，眼睛很小，立刻落在阿莱克托身上，他一动不动地躺在地板上。 他发出一声愤怒和恐惧的喊叫。 “他们做了什么，这些小兔崽子？”他尖叫道。 “我要把他们都钉上十字架，直到他们告诉我是谁干的——黑魔王会怎么说呢？”他尖叫着，站在妹妹身旁，用拳头拍了拍自己的额头。 “我们没有抓到他，他们把她给杀了！”“她只是被击昏了。”麦格教授不耐烦地说，她已经弯下腰检查了阿莱克托。 “她会完全没事的。”
