"It must've been Crouch," said Ron at once. "That's why he was gone when Harry and Dumbledore got there. He'd done a runner."
查看中文翻译
"Okay… hows this for a theory," said Ron excitedly. "Krum attacked Crouch -- no, wait for it -- and then Stunned himself!"
查看中文翻译
"I don't think so," said Harry, shaking his head. "He seemed really weak -- I don't reckon he was up to Disapparating or anything."
查看中文翻译
"You can't Disapparate on the Hogwarts grounds, haven't I told you enough times?" said Hermione.
查看中文翻译
It comes down to this," said Hermione, rubbing her forehead. "Either Mr. Crouch attacked Viktor, or somebody else attacked both of them when Viktor wasn't looking."
查看中文翻译
"Oh yeah…"
查看中文翻译
"And Mr. Crouch evaporated, did he?" said Hermione coldly.
查看中文翻译
It was daybreak. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had crept out of their dormitories very early and hurried up to the Owlery together to send a note to Sirius. Now they were standing looking out at the misty grounds. All three of them were puffy-eyed and pale because they had been talking late into the night about Mr. Crouch.
查看中文翻译
"And… remind me what he said about You-Know-Who?" said Ron tentatively.
查看中文翻译
"I've told you, he wasn't making much sense," said Harry. "He said he wanted to warn Dumbledore about something. He definitely mentioned Bertha Jorkins, and he seemed to think she was dead. He kept saying stuff was his fault… He mentioned his son."
查看中文翻译
"Just go through it again, Harry," said Hermione. "What did Mr. Crouch actually say?"
查看中文翻译
"Well, that was his fault," said Hermione testily.
查看中文翻译
"He was out of his mind," said Harry. "Half the time he seemed to think his wife and son were still alive, and he kept talking to Percy about work and giving him instructions."
查看中文翻译
"I've told you," Harry repeated dully. "He said he's getting stronger."
查看中文翻译
"He was sanest when he was trying to talk about Voldemort," said Harry, and Ron winced at the sound of the name. "He was having real trouble stringing two words together, but that was when he seemed to know where he was, and know what he wanted to do. He just kept saying he had to see Dumbledore."
查看中文翻译
There was a pause. Then Ron said in a falsely confident voice, "But he was out of his mind, like you said, so half of it was probably just raving…"
查看中文翻译
Harry turned away from the window and stared up into the rafters. The many perches were half-empty; every now and then, another owl would swoop in through one of the windows, returning from its night's hunting with a mouse in its beak.
查看中文翻译
"If Snape hadn't held me up," Harry said bitterly, "we might've got there in time. "The headmaster is busy. Potter… what's this rubbish, Potter?" Why couldn't he have just got out of the way?"
查看中文翻译
"Maybe he didn't want you to get there!" said Ron quickly. "Maybe -- hang on -- how fast d'you reckon he could've gotten down to the forest? D'you reckon he could've beaten you and Dumbledore there?"
查看中文翻译
"Not unless he can turn himself into a bat or something," said Harry.
查看中文翻译
"Wouldn't put it past him," Ron muttered.
查看中文翻译
"We need to see Professor Moody," said Hermione. "We need to find out whether he found Mr. Crouch."
查看中文翻译
"Unless Crouch was already outside the grounds," said Ron, "because it only shows up to the boundaries, doesn't --"
查看中文翻译
"If he had the Marauder's Map on him, it would've been easy," said Harry.
查看中文翻译
"- we've tried being polite; it's time to play dirty, like him. He wouldn't like the Ministry of Magic knowing what he did --"
查看中文翻译
He was holding a sealed envelope in his hands. Harry glanced at it, but Fred, whether accidentally or on purpose, shifted his hand so that the name on it was covered.
查看中文翻译
Fred grinned.
查看中文翻译
"What, at this time?" said Hermione and Fred.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, and you won't be complaining if we get a nice fat payoff, will you?"
查看中文翻译
"Shh!" said Hermione suddenly.
查看中文翻译
"Sending a letter," said Harry and George in unison.
查看中文翻译
Somebody was climbing the steps up to the Owlery. Harry could hear two voices arguing, coming closer and closer.
查看中文翻译
"What're you doing here?" Ron and Fred said at the same time.
查看中文翻译
"- that's blackmail, that is, we could get into a lot of trouble for that-"
查看中文翻译
"Fine -- we won't ask you what you're doing, if you don't ask us," he said.
查看中文翻译
"I'm telling you, if you put that in writing, it's blackmail!"
查看中文翻译
The Owlery door banged open. Fred and George came over the threshold, then froze at the sight of Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
查看中文翻译
"Well, don't let us hold you up," Fred said, making a mock bow and pointing at the door.
查看中文翻译
Ron didn't move. "Who're you blackmailing?" he said.
查看中文翻译
"Don't be stupid, I was only joking," he said easily.
查看中文翻译
The grin vanished from Fred's face. Harry saw George half glance at Fred, before smiling at Ron.
查看中文翻译
"Didn't sound like that," said Ron.
查看中文翻译
"It's my business if you're blackmailing someone," said Ron. "George's right, you could end up in serious trouble for that."
查看中文翻译
"Told you, I was joking," said George. He walked over to Fred, pulled the letter out of his hands, and began attaching it to the leg of the nearest barn owl. "You're starting to sound a bit like our dear older brother, you are, Ron. Carry on like this and you'll be made a prefect."
查看中文翻译
"No, I won't!" said Ron hotly.
查看中文翻译
Fred and George looked at each other. Then Fred said abruptly, "I've told you before, Ron, keep your nose out if you like it the shape it is. Can't see why you would, but --"
查看中文翻译
George carried the barn owl over to the window and it took off. George turned around and grinned at Ron.
查看中文翻译
"You don't think they know something about all this, do you?" Hermione whispered. "About Crouch and everything?"
查看中文翻译
He and Fred left the Owlery. Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared at one another.
查看中文翻译
"Well, stop telling people what to do then. See you later."
查看中文翻译
"No," said Harry. "If it was something that serious, they'd tell someone. They'd tell Dumbledore."
查看中文翻译
Ron, however, was looking uncomfortable.
查看中文翻译
"What's the matter?" Hermione asked him.
查看中文翻译
"We weren't talking." Harry finished the sentence for him. "Yeah, but blackmail…"
查看中文翻译
Hermione was looking uncomfortable now.
查看中文翻译
"Well…" said Ron slowly, "I dunno if they would. They're… they're obsessed with making money lately, I noticed it when I was hanging around with them -- when -- you know --"
查看中文翻译
"It's this joke shop idea they've got," said Ron. "I thought they were only saying it to annoy Mum, but they really mean it, they want to start one. They've only got a year left at Hogwarts, they keep going on about how it's time to think about their future, and Dad can't help them, and they need gold to get started."
查看中文翻译
"Are you mad?" said Ron. "Tell Percy? He'd probably do a Crouch and turn them in." He stared at the window through which Fred and George's owl had departed, then said, "Come on, let's get some breakfast."
查看中文翻译
"Wouldn't they?" said Ron, looking skeptical. "I dunno… they don't exactly mind breaking rules, do they?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes," said Harry. "He'd probably blast us through the door if we wake him at the crack of dawn; he'll think we're trying to attack him while he's asleep. Let's give it till break."
查看中文翻译
"Yes, but this is the law," said Hermione, looking scared. "This isn't some silly school rule… They'll get a lot more than detention for blackmail! Ron… maybe you'd better tell Percy…"
查看中文翻译
"Yes, but… they wouldn't do anything against the law to get gold."
查看中文翻译
"D'you think it's too early to go and see Professor Moody?" Hermione said as they went down the spiral staircase.
查看中文翻译
History of Magic had rarely gone so slowly. Harry kept checking Ron's watch, having finally discarded his own, but Ron's was moving so slowly he could have sworn it had stopped working too. All three of them were so tired they could happily have put their heads down on the desks and slept; even Hermione wasn't taking her usual notes, but was sitting with her head on her hand, gazing at Professor Binns with her eyes out of focus.
查看中文翻译
When the bell finally rang, they hurried out into the corridors toward the Dark Arts classroom and found Professor Moody leaving it. He looked as tired as they felt. The eyelid of his normal eye was drooping, giving his face an even more lopsided appearance than usual.
查看中文翻译
"Professor Moody?" Harry called as they made their way toward him through the crowd.
查看中文翻译
"Come in here."
查看中文翻译
"Did you find him?" Harry asked without preamble. "Mr. Crouch?"
查看中文翻译
"Hello, Potter," growled Moody. His magical eye followed a couple of passing first years, who sped up, looking nervous; it rolled into the back of Moody's head and watched them around the corner before he spoke again.
查看中文翻译
He stood back to let them into his empty classroom, limped in after them, and closed the door.
查看中文翻译
"Did you use the map?" Harry said.
查看中文翻译
"No," said Moody. He moved over to his desk, sat down, stretched out his wooden leg with a slight groan, and pulled out his hip flask.
查看中文翻译
"Of course," said Moody, taking a swig from his flask. "Took a leaf out of your book, Potter. Summoned it from my office into the forest. He wasn't anywhere on there."
查看中文翻译
He yawned widely, so that his scars stretched, and his lopsided mouth revealed a number of missing teeth. Then he said, "Now, Dumbledore's told me you three fancy yourselves as investigators, but there's nothing you can do for Crouch. The Ministry'll be looking for him now, Dumbledore's notified them. Potter, you just keep your mind on the third task."
查看中文翻译
Hermione flushed pink with pleasure.
查看中文翻译
"We can't rule out kidnap," growled Moody.
查看中文翻译
"So he did Disapparate?" said Ron.
查看中文翻译
"You can't Disapparate on the grounds, Ron!" said Hermione. "There are other ways he could have disappeared, aren't there, Professor?"
查看中文翻译
"Well, he wasn't invisible," said Harry. "The map shows invisible people. He must've left the grounds, then."
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, someone could've -- could've pulled him onto a broom and flown off with him, couldn't they?" said Ron quickly, looking hopefully at Moody as if he too wanted to be told he had the makings of an Auror.
查看中文翻译
"So," said Ron, "d'you reckon he's somewhere in Hogsmeade?"
查看中文翻译
Moody's magical eye quivered as it rested on Hermione. "You're another one who might think about a career as an Auror," he told her. "Mind works the right way. Granger."
查看中文翻译
"But under his own steam?" said Hermione eagerly, "or because someone made him?"
查看中文翻译
"Could be anywhere," said Moody, shaking his head. "Only thing we know for sure is that he's not here."
查看中文翻译
"Should be right up your street, this one," said Moody, looking up at Harry and scratching his scarred and stubbly chin. "From what Dumbledore's said, you've managed to get through stuff like this plenty of times. Broke your way through a series of obstacles guarding the Sorcerers Stone in your first year, didn't you?"
查看中文翻译
"What?" said Harry. "Oh yeah…"
查看中文翻译
He hadn't given the maze a single thought since he'd left it with Krum the previous night.
查看中文翻译
Moody grinned.
查看中文翻译
"Well, help him practice for this one, and I'll be very surprised if he doesn't win," said Moody. "In the meantime… constant vigilance, Potter. Constant vigilance." He took another long draw from his hip flask, and his magical eye swiveled onto the window. The topmost sail of the Durmstrang ship was visible through it.
查看中文翻译
"We helped," Ron said quickly. "Me and Hermione helped."
查看中文翻译
"You two," counseled Moody, his normal eye on Ron and Hermione, "you stick close to Potter, all right? I'm keeping an eye on things, but all the same… you can never have too many eyes out."
查看中文翻译
Your name didn't get into the Goblet of Fire by accident. If someone's trying to attack you, they're on their last chance. Stay close to Ron and Hermione, do not leave Gryffindor Tower after hours, and arm yourself for the third task. Practice Stunning and Disarming. A few hexes wouldn't go amiss either. There's nothing you can do about Crouch. Keep your head down and look after yourself. I'm waiting for your letter giving me your word you won't stray out-of-bounds again.
查看中文翻译
Sirius sent their owl back the very next morning. It fluttered down beside Harry at the same moment that a tawny owl landed in front of Hermione, clutching a copy of the Daily Prophet in its beak. She took the newspaper, scanned the first few pages, said, "Ha! She hasn't got wind of Crouch!" then joined Ron and Harry in reading what Sirius had to say on the mysterious events of the night before last.
查看中文翻译
Harry -- what do you think you are playing at, walking off into the forest with Viktor Krum? I want you to swear, by return owl, that you are not going to go walking with anyone else at night. There is somebody highly dangerous at Hogwarts. It is clear to me that they wanted to stop Crouch from seeing Dumbledore and you were probably feet away from them in the dark. You could have been killed.
查看中文翻译
"No one's tried to attack me all year," said Harry. "No one's done anything to me at all-"
查看中文翻译
Sirius.
查看中文翻译
"Who's he, to lecture me about being out-of-bounds?" said Harry in mild indignation as he folded up Sirius's letter and put it inside his robes. "After all the stuff he did at school!"
查看中文翻译
"He's worried about you!" said Hermione sharply. "Just like Moody and Hagrid! So listen to them!"
查看中文翻译
"Except put your name in the Goblet of Fire," said Hermione. "And they must've done that for a reason. Harry. Snuffles is right. Maybe they've been biding their time. Maybe this is the task they're going to get you."
查看中文翻译
"Look," said Harry impatiently, "let's say Sirius is right, and someone Stunned Krum to kidnap Crouch. Well, they would've been in the trees near us, wouldn't they? But they waited till I was out of the way until they acted, didn't they? So it doesn't look like I'm their target, does it?"
查看中文翻译
"They couldn't have made it look like an accident if they'd murdered you in the forest!" said Hermione. "But if you die during a task-"
查看中文翻译
"They didn't care about attacking Krum, did they?" said Harry. "Why didn't they just polish me off at the same time? They could've made it look like Krum and I had a duel or something."
查看中文翻译
The Hogwarts grounds never looked more inviting than when Harry had to stay indoors. For the next few days he spent all of his free time either in the library with Hermione and Ron, looking up hexes, or else in empty classrooms, which they sneaked into to practice. Harry was concentrating on the Stunning Spell, which he had never used before. The trouble was that practicing it involved certain sacrifices on Ron's and Hermione's part.
查看中文翻译
"Harry, I don't understand it either," said Hermione desperately. "I just know there are a lot of odd things going on, and I don't like it… Moody's right -- Sirius is right -- you've got to get in training for the third task, straight away. And you make sure you write back to Sirius and promise him you're not going to go sneaking off alone again."
查看中文翻译
"Can't we kidnap Mrs. Norris?" Ron suggested on Monday lunchtime as he lay flat on his back in the middle of their Charms classroom, having just been Stunned and reawoken by Harry for the fifth time in a row. "Let's Stun her for a bit. Or you could use Dobby, Harry, I bet he'd do anything to help you. I'm not complaining or anything" -- he got gingerly to his feet, rubbing his backside -- "but I'm aching all over…"
查看中文翻译
The bell rang. They hastily shoved the cushions back into Flitwick's cupboard and slipped out of the classroom.
查看中文翻译
"Well, you keep missing the cushions, don't you!" said Hermione impatiently, rearranging the pile of cushions they had used for the Banishing Spell, which Flitwick had left in a cabinet. "Just try and fall backward!"
查看中文翻译
"Once you're Stunned, you can't aim too well, Hermione! "said Ron angrily. "Why don't you take a turn?"
查看中文翻译
"Well, I think Harry's got it now, anyway," said Hermione hastily. "And we don't have to worry about Disarming, because he's been able to do that for ages… I think we ought to start on some of these hexes this evening."
查看中文翻译
She looked down the list they had made in the library.
查看中文翻译
"I like the look of this one," she said, "this Impediment Curse. Should slow down anything that's trying to attack you. Harry. We'll start with that one."
查看中文翻译
"See you at dinner!" said Hermione, and she set off for Arithmancy, while Harry and Ron headed toward North Tower, and Divination. Broad strips of dazzling gold sunlight tell across the corridor from the high windows. The sky outside was so brightly blue it looked as though it had been enameled.
查看中文翻译
He was quite right. The dimly lit room was swelteringly hot. The fumes from the perfumed fire were heavier than ever. Harry's head swam as he made his way over to one of the curtained windows. While Professor Trelawney was looking the other way, disentangling her shawl from a lamp, he opened it an inch or so and settled back in his chintz armchair, so that a soft breeze played across his face. It was extremely comfortable.
查看中文翻译
"My dears," said Professor Trelawney, sitting down in her winged armchair in front of the class and peering around at them all with her strangely enlarged eyes, "we have almost finished our work on planetary divination. Today, however, will be an excellent opportunity to examine the effects of Mars, for he is placed most interestingly at the present time. If you will all look this way, I will dim the lights…"
查看中文翻译
"It's going to be boiling in Trelawney's room, she never puts out that fire," said Ron as they started up the staircase toward the silver ladder and the trapdoor.
查看中文翻译
She waved her wand and the lamps went out. The fire was the only source of light now. Professor Trelawney bent down and lifted, from under her chair, a miniature model of the solar system, contained within a glass dome. It was a beautiful thing; each of the moons glimmered in place around the nine planets and the fiery sun, all of them hanging in thin air beneath the glass. Harry watched lazily as Professor Trelawney began to point out the fascinating angle Mars was making to Neptune. The heavily perfumed fumes washed over him, and the breeze from the window played across his face. He could hear an insect humming gently somewhere behind the curtain. His eyelids began to droop…
查看中文翻译
Harry had left the owl's back… he was watching, now, as it fluttered across the room, into a chair with its back to him… There were two dark shapes on the floor beside the chair… both of them were stirring…
查看中文翻译
He was riding on the back of an eagle owl, soaring through the clear blue sky toward an old, ivy-covered house set high on a hillside. Lower and lower they flew, the wind blowing pleasantly in Harry's face, until they reached a dark and broken window in the upper story of the house and entered. Now they were flying along a gloomy passageway, to a room at the very end… through the door they went, into a dark room whose windows were boarded up…
查看中文翻译
"You are in luck, Wormtail," said a cold, high-pitched voice from the depths of the chair in which the owl had landed. "You are very fortunate indeed. Your blunder has not ruined everything. He is dead."
查看中文翻译
One was a huge snake… the other was a man… a short, balding man, a man with watery eyes and a pointed nose… he was wheezing and sobbing on the hearth rug…
查看中文翻译
"My Lord!" gasped the man on the floor. "My Lord, I am… I am so pleased… and so sorry…"
查看中文翻译
"Now, Wormtail," said the cold voice, "perhaps one more little reminder why I will not tolerate another blunder from you…"
查看中文翻译
"Nagini," said the cold voice, "you are out of luck. I will not be feeding Wormtail to you, after all… but never mind, never mind… there is still Harry Potter…"
查看中文翻译
"Crucio!" said the cold voice.
查看中文翻译
The snake hissed. Harry could see its tongue fluttering.
查看中文翻译
"My Lord… no… I beg you…"
查看中文翻译
"Harry! Harry!"
查看中文翻译
The tip of a wand emerged from around the back of the chair. It was pointing at Wormtail.
查看中文翻译
Wormtail screamed, screamed as though every nerve in his body were on fire, the screaming filled Harry's ears as the scar on his forehead seared with pain; he was yelling too… Voldemort would hear him, would know he was there…
查看中文翻译
Harry opened his eyes. He was lying on the floor of Professor Trelawney's room with his hands over his face. His scar was still burning so badly that his eyes were watering. The pain had been real. The whole class was standing around him, and Ron was kneeling next to him, looking terrified.
查看中文翻译
"You all right?" he said.
查看中文翻译
"You were clutching your scar!" said Professor Trelawney. "You were rolling on the floor, clutching your scar! Come now. Potter, I have experience in these matters!"
查看中文翻译
"Of course he isn't!" said Professor Trelawney, looking thoroughly excited. Her great eyes loomed over Harry, gazing at him. "What was it. Potter? A premonition? An apparition? What did you see?"
查看中文翻译
"Nothing," Harry lied. He sat up. He could feel himself shaking. He couldn't stop himself from looking around, into the shadows behind him; Voldemort's voice had sounded so close…
查看中文翻译
"I don't want to see anything except a headache cure," said Harry.
查看中文翻译
He stood up. The class backed away. They all looked unnerved.
查看中文翻译
"See you later," Harry muttered to Ron, and he picked up his bag and headed for the trapdoor, ignoring Professor Trelawney, who was wearing an expression of great frustration, as though she had just been denied a real treat.
查看中文翻译
Harry looked up at her.
查看中文翻译
"I need to go to the hospital wing, I think," he said. "Bad headache."
查看中文翻译
"My dear, you were undoubtedly stimulated by the extraordinary clairvoyant vibrations of my room!" said Professor Trelawney. "If you leave now, you may lose the opportunity to see further than you have ever --"
查看中文翻译
Harry had walked right past the stone gargoyle guarding the entrance to Dumbledores office without noticing. He blinked, looked around, realized what he had done, and retraced his steps, stopping in front of it. Then he remembered that he didn't know the password.
查看中文翻译
When Harry reached the bottom of her stepladder, however, he did not set off for the hospital wing. He had no intention whatsoever of going there. Sirius had told him what to do if his scar hurt him again, and Harry was going to follow his advice: He was going straight to Dumbledore's office. He marched down the corridors, thinking about what he had seen in the dream… it had been as vivid as the one that had awoken him on Privet Drive… He ran over the details in his mind, trying to make sure he could remember them… He had heard Voldemort accusing Wormtail of making a blunder… but the owl had brought good news, the blunder had been repaired, somebody was dead… so Wormtail was not going to be fed to the snake… he, Harry, was going to be fed to it instead…
查看中文翻译
He hurried through the gap in the walls and stepped onto the foot of a spiral stone staircase, which moved slowly upward as the doors closed behind him, taking him up to a polished oak door with a brass door knocker.
查看中文翻译
"Chocolate Frog!" he yelled angrily, standing on one leg. "Sugar Quill! Cockroach Cluster!"
查看中文翻译
The gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside. Harry blinked.
查看中文翻译
"Sherbet lemon?" he tried tentatively.
查看中文翻译
"Okay," said Harry, staring at it, "Pear Drop. Er -- Licorice Wand. Fizzing Whizbee. Drooble's Best Blowing Gum. Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans… oh no, he doesn't like them, does he?… oh just open, can't you?" he said angrily. "I really need to see him, its urgent!"
查看中文翻译
The gargoyle did not move.
查看中文翻译
Harry kicked it, achieving nothing but an excruciating pain in his big toe.
查看中文翻译
"Dumbledore, I'm afraid I don't see the connection, don't see it at all!" It was the voice of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. "Ludo says Berthas perfectly capable of getting herself lost. I agree we would have expected to have found her by now, but all the same, we've no evidence of foul play, Dumbledore, none at all. As for her disappearance being linked with Barty Crouch's!"
查看中文翻译
The gargoyle remained immovable.
查看中文翻译
"Cockroach Cluster?" he said, amazed. "I was only joking…"
查看中文翻译
He could hear voices from inside the office. He stepped off the moving staircase and hesitated, listening.
查看中文翻译
"And what do you thinks happened to Barty Crouch, Minister?" said Moody's growling voice.
查看中文翻译
"He wandered extremely quickly, if that is the case, Cornelius," said Dumbledore calmly.
查看中文翻译
"I see two possibilities, Alastor," said Fudge. "Either Crouch has finally cracked -- more than likely, I'm sure you'll agree, given his personal history -- lost his mind, and gone wandering off somewhere --"
查看中文翻译
"Or else -- well…" Fudge sounded embarrassed. "Well, I'll reserve judgment until after I've seen the place where he was found, but you say it was just past the Beauxbatons carriage? Dumbledore, you know what that woman is?"
查看中文翻译
"I consider her to be a very able headmistress -- and an excellent dancer," said Dumbledore quietly.
查看中文翻译
"Yes, yes, let's go down to the grounds, then," said Fudge impatiently.
查看中文翻译
"Can we wrap up this discussion?" growled Moody.
查看中文翻译
"I no more suspect Madame Maxime than Hagrid," said Dumbledore, just as calmly. "I think it possible that it is you who are prejudiced, Cornelius."
查看中文翻译
"Dumbledore, come!" said Fudge angrily. "Don't you think you might be prejudiced in her favor because of Hagrid? They don't all turn out harmless -- if, indeed, you can call Hagrid harmless, with that monster fixation he's got --"
查看中文翻译
"No, it's not that," said Moody, "it's just that Potter wants a word with you, Dumbledore. He's just outside the door."
查看中文翻译
