„Explanation, gentlemen!”Hervisionhas delimitedonthreefacesin turn.
“解释吧,先生们!”她的目光依次在三个人脸上划过。„Whatexplained?”Ronlooks likesomewhatstartled.
“解释什么?”罗恩看起来有些惊慌。„Professor Snapeis right, youhave not spoken the truthin the office.”Hermionewithout a doubtsaidwith the tonethat„firstisyou, Ron, youat that timehappen toindoorthreebuildingswash the hands and face, Filch's cathas encountered the attackoutsidethatdoor.”
“斯内普教授是对的,你们在办公室里面都没有说实话。”赫敏用毋庸置疑的口气说,“首先是你,罗恩,你当时正好在三楼盥洗室内,费尔奇的猫就在那扇门外遭到了袭击。”„Y-youwill not be suspecting that isIdoes?!”
“你、你不会在怀疑,那是我干的吧?!”„Let alonenonsense, Ron.”Hermionewaved, „Professor Dumbledorehas said that thatisveryabstrusedark magic, weare impossibleto discharge, whatIwantto ask, hasn't yourwhatexceptionallynotedreally?”
“别说傻话,罗恩。”赫敏挥了挥手,“邓布利多教授说过了,那是一道很深奥的黑魔法,我们根本不可能施放出来,我想问的是,你真的什么异常都没有注意到么?”„Ihad saidwithIvana moment ago, Iheardhissinghissing the sound, butIam indefinite, Myrtlehas been crying, the soundis very loud.”
“我刚才和艾文说过了,我听到了嘶嘶的声音,但是我不确定,桃金娘一直在哭,声音很大。”„Perhapsthisis a clue.”Hermionehas turned the head, „Harry, youcansay that whatyoudid hearat that time?”
“也许这是一个线索。”赫敏转过头,“哈利,你能说说你当时听到了什么嘛?”„Thatsoundsaid that ithas been awfully hungry, itmustkill people, likeghost, itdirectupwardlyhas passed through the cliff of castle.”Harryansweredin a low voice, „thenwenoticed that Filch's catwas petrifiedhangson the wall, certainlywasthatsoundmasterdoes.”
“那个声音说它饿坏了,它要杀人,就像幽灵一样,它直接向上穿过了城堡的石壁。”哈利低声解释道,“然后我们就看到费尔奇的猫被石化挂在墙上,一定是那个声音的主人干的。”„But who thatis, oritisanything, Ianysoundhad not heardat that time.”Hermionebrowtightwrinkle.
“可那是谁呢,或者说它是什么东西,我当时什么声音都没有听见。”赫敏眉头紧皱。„Whoknows.”Harryhesitantsaying, „yousaidthatIshouldsayto the professors, thatsound that Ihear?”
“谁知道呢。”哈利犹豫的说道,“你们说,我是不是应该对教授们说说,我听见的那个声音?”„Let alone!”Ronrepliedwithout hesitation, „heard the sound that otherscould not hear, thiswas not a goodsign, even ifin the magic world were also this.”
“别说!”罗恩不假思索地回答道,“听见别人听不见的声音,这不是一个好兆头,即使在魔法世界里也是这样。”WhatHarrylistened tofrom the Ron'ssound, he asked that „youwerebelievemy, right?”哈利从罗恩的声音里听出了点儿什么,他问道,“你是相信我的,是吗?”„Ibelieve certainly.”Ronsaidquickly, „, but, youmustacknowledge that thisis very strange.”
“我当然相信。”罗恩很快地说,“可是,你必须承认这很离奇。”„Iknow that thisis very strange.”Harryreplied, „the entireevent was very strange, youheardhissinghissing the soundin the washroom, thenFilch's cathad been attacked, thesewriting on wallwhat's the matter? The secret roomhad been opened, whatmeaning is this?”
“我知道这很离奇。”哈利回答道,“整个事件都很离奇,你在盥洗室听到嘶嘶的声音,然后费尔奇的猫就被人袭击了,墙上的那些文字是怎么回事?密室曾经被打开过,这到底是什么意思呢?”„Perhaps, weshouldconsiderfrom a different angle that cathad been attacked, whowill feel thereforehappily?”Ronsaid.
“也许,我们应该换一个角度考虑,那只猫被人袭击了,谁会因此感觉到高兴呢?”罗恩说。„Thisis not good, besidesFilch, otherpeoplewill feelhappily. „ Harryhas thought that „ whatrelations, moreoverthisand does the secret roomhave?”
“这不行,除了费尔奇之外,其他所有人都会感觉到高兴地。“哈利想了一下,“而且这和密室有什么关系?”„Mymeaningespeciallyhappy, orwhomosthatesthatcat.”Ron not willinglyadding.
“我的意思是格外的高兴,或者说谁最恨那只猫。”罗恩不甘心的补充道。„Do not blindly guess that Iknew an informationactually, had the legendaboutsecret room.”Ivansaw that during Hermionehas not participated inHarryandRon'sdiscusses, insteadhas been looking at itself, hehas todisclose that a thingcomes out.
“你们别瞎猜了,我倒是知道点情报,有关于密室的传说。”艾文看到赫敏没有参与到哈利和罗恩的讨论之中,反而在一直看着自己,他不得不透露点东西出来。Hearshiswords, HarryandRontwopersoncompletecompletehas turned the head, surprisedlooks atIvan.
听到他的话,哈利和罗恩两个人齐齐转过头,吃惊的看着艾文。„Ithinkthatyouhave read《Hogwarts, A History》thisbook?”
“我想,你们都看过《霍格沃茨一段校史》这本书吧?”„No.”HarryandRonshook the head.
“没有。”哈利和罗恩摇了摇头。„Ivan, youweresaid that......”Hermionerememberedanythingprobably.
“艾文,你是说......”赫敏好像想起些什么。„Right, isSalazarSlytherinleft behindthatsecret room.”Ivancontinues saying that „well-known, Hogwartsisjointlyis foundedbyGodric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherinfourpeople, theycooperateat first, howeverwith the lapse of time, fissures between the otherSlytherinandpeopleare getting bigger and bigger.”
“没错,就是萨拉查斯莱特留下的那间密室。”艾文继续说道,“众所周知,霍格沃茨是由戈德里克格兰芬多、赫尔加赫奇帕奇、罗伊纳拉文克劳和萨拉查斯莱特林四个人共同创建的,他们最初通力协作,然而随着时间的推移,斯莱特林和其他人之间的裂痕越来越大。”„Slytherinhopes when Hogwartsrecruit studentis more nitpicking, hethinks that the magiceducationonlyshouldlimitto the puremagicfamily. Heis not willingto receive the muggle(s)freshchild, thinks that theyare unreliable. Passedsomedays, SlytherinandGryffindor, becausethisissuehad an intensequarrel, thenSlytherinthenleft the school, butheleaves behind a secretroomin the school, othercreatorsknow nothing.”
“斯莱特林希望霍格沃茨招收学生时更挑剔一些,他认为魔法教育只应局限于纯魔法家庭。他不愿意接收麻瓜生的孩子,认为他们是靠不住的。过了一些日子,斯莱特林和格兰芬多因为这个问题发生了一场激烈的争吵,然后斯莱特林便离开了学校,但是他在学校里留下一个秘密房间,其他创办者对此一无所知。”„Secret room?!”
“密室?!”„Yes.”Ivannodded, „inbook the reliablewritingrecordstops, butsomerumorssaidthatSlytherinhas sealed up the secret room, thisthennobodycanopenit, goes to the schooluntilhisgenuinesuccessor. Only thenthatsuccessorcanopensecret room, putsinsideterrifyingthing, makingitpurify the school, eliminatesperson who alldoes not match the studymagic.”
“是的。”艾文点了点头,“书上可靠的文字记载到此为止,但是有传言说,斯莱特林封闭了密室,这样便没有人能够打开它,直到他真正的继承人来到学校。只有那个继承人能够开启密室,把里面的恐怖东西放出来,让它净化学校,清除所有不配学习魔法的人。”Injet blackclassroomsuddenlyquiet, tense atmospherediscomforting.
漆黑的教室内突然安静了下来,气氛紧张地令人不安。Harry, Ron and Hermionethreepeopleno onehave spoken, theywaited forIvanto continue.哈利、罗恩和赫敏三个人谁都没有说话,他们都等着艾文继续说下去。„Storysaid.”For a long time, Ivansaidin a soft voice.
“故事讲完了。”许久,艾文轻声说道。„But, yousaidina moment agosecret roomterrifyingthing, whatrefers toiswhat?”Hermioneaskedhurriedly.
“可是,你刚才说密室里面的恐怖东西,指的是什么?”赫敏急忙问道。„Does not know.”Ivanshook the head, „possiblyissomemonster, only has the Slytherin'ssuccessor to controlit.”
“不知道。”艾文摇了摇头,“可能是某种怪兽,只有斯莱特林的继承人才能控制它。”„Conforms to the Slytherin'sstylevery much, Ialreadyknow that Salazar Slytherinis an abnormaloldlunatic.”Ronthen said that „, butIdo not know that washehas found outthisset of purelineagenonsense, even ifgave for nothingmymoney, Idid not enterhisinstitute. Told the sentencetruth, ifinitiallySorting HatadmittedSlytherinme, Iwithout demur, go by trainto go homedirectly, whatpersonhas a look in thatinstituteis.”
“很符合斯莱特林的风格,我早就知道萨拉查斯莱特林是个变态的老疯子。”罗恩接着说道,“但我不知道是他想出了这套纯血统的鬼话,即使白给我钱,我也不进他的学院。说句实话,如果当初分院帽把我放进斯莱特林,我二话不说,直接就乘火车回家,看看那个学院里都是些什么样的人吧。”„Wait/Etc.!” The Hermione'ssoundenhancesfiercely, „thinks that wallabovewriting, the secret roomwas openedby the successor. ButHarryexactlyhearsanysound, ifFilchthatcatinterrifyingthingpetrificationbysecret room, then......”
“等等!”赫敏的声音猛地提高,“想想墙上面的文字,密室被继承者打开了。而哈利又恰好听到什么声音,如果费尔奇那只猫是被密室里面的恐怖东西石化的,那么......”Shecould not be justified, otherthreepeopleknow that sheisanymeaning.
她说不下去了,其他三个人都知道她是什么意思。„Possiblyis notHarry, wantedmeto speak the words that the successorcertainlywasMalfoy, their familyis the pureblood, perhapshehappen towas the Salazar Slytherindescendant.”
“不可能是哈利,要我说的话,继承者一定是马尔福,他们全家都是纯血,也许他正好是萨拉查斯莱特林后裔。”„Do not thinkblindly, Hermione, Harrywithusin the same place, hedid not have the timea moment ago.”Ivanalsosaid.
“别瞎想,赫敏,哈利刚才一直和我们在一起,他没有时间。”艾文也跟着说道。„ThisIknowthatIbelieve certainlyHarry, butthismatteris not very strange, hecanhear the sound that wecannot hear.”Hermionechanges to the visionIvan, „on the other hand, youhad not explained why youhave triedto rush in the Myrtlewashroomrecently?”
“这我知道,我当然相信哈利,但这件事很奇怪不是么,他能听见我们听不到的声音。”赫敏将目光重新转到艾文身上,“话说回来,你还没有解释,你最近为什么一直要试图闯进桃金娘的盥洗室?”Saw the expression that threepersonare interested invery much, Ivansecret passageawful, hedoes not wantto drop one image that enters the female studentwashroomto peep, particularlythatbyobjectorMoaning Myrtle of peeping.
看到三个人一副很感兴趣的表情,艾文暗道一声糟糕,他可不想落下一个进女生盥洗室偷窥的形象,尤其是那个被偷窥的对象还是哭泣的桃金娘。„Good, good, Itold the factsand that's the end.” The Ivanforced smilesaidthat„in fact, besides the secret room, Ialsohadotherinformation.”
“好吧、好吧,我实话实说就是了。”艾文苦笑道,“事实上,除了密室之外,我还掌握了点其他的情报。”„Whatis?”Threepeopleaskedwith one voice.
“是什么?”三个人齐声问道。„Youknowthat to the newspaperhistoryplatepreparationarticle, Iwent to the libraryto read«HogwartsIn the past yearsChronicle».”Ivan, „Iinthatbookhad discovered that one50years ago newspaperclippings, abovewrote the secret roomto be opened!”
“你们知道,为了给报纸历史板块准备文章,我去图书馆翻看过《霍格沃茨历年大事记》。”艾文顿了一下,“我在那本书里面发现一张50年前的报纸剪报,上面写着密室被打开了!”„What?! Iswhoopens?”
“什么?!是谁打开的?”„Does not knowthatinsidehas not written.”Ivanshook the head, „aboveis so relatedwith the secret roomona few words, iswithwriting by hand, butin the clippingsthatnewsisoneis called the female students in MettelWarren, because an accidentdied, althoughdid not determine that herdeath and secret roomdo have the relations, butthatfemale studentis......”
“不知道,里面没写。”艾文摇了摇头,“上面就这么一句话和密室有关,还是用手写的,不过剪报上那个新闻则是一名叫做梅特尔沃伦的女生因为一场意外事故死掉了,虽然不确定她的死和密室有没有关系,但那个女生是......”Ivanputs out a yellowingnewspaperfrom the clothes, wasthennewsintroducedthatabovehad a girl'spicture.艾文从衣服里面拿出一张泛黄的报纸,是当时的新闻介绍,上面有一个女孩子的照片。„Thisis...... Moaning Myrtle!!!”
“这是......哭泣的桃金娘!!!”„Right, isshe.”Ivanfast said that „, therefore, Iwantto askher, hasto noteanything.”
“没错,就是她。”艾文飞快的说,“所以,我才想问问她,有没有注意到什么。”
