第十五章 科尼利厄斯·福吉
Chapter 15 Cornelius Fudge
哈利、罗恩和赫敏都知道海格喜欢养非常大的生物当宠物。他们在霍格沃茨的第一年,海格就试图在他的小屋里养一条龙。他们还记得守卫秘密通道的三头犬,毛毛。
Harry, Ron, and Hermione know that Hagrid likes to keep very large creatures as pets. During their first year at Hogwarts, Hagrid tried to keep a dragon in his little house. And they also remember the guard of the secret door, Fluffy, the three-headed dog.
但他们也知道海格绝不会伤害霍格沃茨的任何人。哈利多次在日记里和汤姆·里德尔交谈。汤姆一遍又一遍地讲述着关于海格的故事。
But they also know that Hagrid would never hurt anyone at Hogwarts. Harry talks to Tom Riddle in his diary many times. Tom tells the story, the story of Hagrid over and over again.
但是孩子们很难相信海格有罪。五十年前,在海格被开除后,袭击确实停止了。孩子们感到困惑。
But it is difficult for the children to believe that Hagrid is guilty. The attacks did stop 50 years ago, after Hagrid was expelled. The children are confused.
“也许我们应该去和海格谈谈五十年前发生的事情,”有一天哈利建议道。他当时在格兰芬多公共休息室里,和罗恩、赫敏在一起。
Maybe we should go talk to Hagrid about what happened 50 years ago, suggests Harry one day. He is in the Gryffindor common room. He is in the Gryffindor common room with Ron and Hermione.
“那将是一次有趣的谈话,”罗恩讽刺地说,“多告诉我们一些你被开除的事情,海格。”他们决定除非再次发生袭击,否则不去拜访海格。
That would be a fun conversation, says Ron sarcastically. Tell us more about how you were expelled, Hagrid. They decide not to visit Hagrid, unless there is another attack.
哈利好几天都没有再听到那个声音。自从尼克差点没头和贾斯廷被袭击以来,已经过去了将近四个月。庞弗雷夫人说,曼德拉草几乎成熟了。
And Harry does not hear the voice again for many days. Almost four months pass since nearly Headless Nick and Justin were attacked. Almost four months pass since nearly Headless Nick and Justin were attacked. Madame Pomfrey says the mandrakes are almost mature.
