Listens attentively the latest news that the wizard in portraitis reporting, in the Headmasterofficefalls intoagaindies the generaldreariness.
倾听着肖像画里的男巫汇报的最新消息,校长办公室里再次陷入死一般的沉寂。PortraitssimultaneouslylookstoSnape, unavoidablya little sympathyhasthisnewHeadmaster, how will also be curiousheto handlethismatter.
画像们齐齐看向斯内普,不免有点同情起这位新校长,也好奇他会怎样处理这件事。Theyhad not forgotten,Snapehad once guaranteedtoDumbledore, will perform the completestrengthto protect the Hogwarts'studentsafety.
他们可没忘记,斯内普曾向邓布利多保证过,会尽全部的力量保护霍格沃茨的学生安全。
The presentishefulfills the commitment the time.
如今是他履行承诺的时候了。Snapehas not cared about the portraitsunusualvision, turns headto stareafter the deskis hanging the deep sleepold person in portrait.斯内普没在意画像们的异样目光,扭头盯向办公桌后挂着的肖像画里的沉睡老人。„Matteris often unexpected.”
“事情往往出人意料。”Dumbledoreas iffeelsSnapeto compel the vision of person, opens the eye from taking a naprevives.邓布利多似乎感受到斯内普迫人的目光,睁开眼睛从假寐中苏醒过来。„Veryis truly unexpected.” The Snapewhole facesaidgloomy,„IthoughtHogwartssoon, am stirredearth-shakinglybythem.”
“确实很出人意料。”斯内普满脸阴沉地说,“我想霍格沃茨用不了多久,就会被他们搅得天翻地覆了。”„Situationdid not haveyouto thinkDreadfullike that.”Dumbledorespokesaidcomfortably.
“情况还没有你想得那般糟糕。”邓布利多出言宽慰道。„No, situationveryDreadful.” The muscle on Snapefacetwitchedruthlesslytwo, „, iftheyreallyestablishthatanythingDumbledore's Army, at the securitylevel of thatgroup of little rascal, soon, entireHogwartswill knowthismatter. When the time comes, do not count on that thismattercanendsmoothly.”
“不,情况很糟糕。”斯内普脸上的肌肉狠狠抽搐了两下,“如果他们真成立那什么邓布利多军,以那群小鬼的保密水准,用不了多久,整个霍格沃茨都会知晓这件事。到时候,你就别指望这事能顺利收场了。”„No matterCarrow, Parkinsonis not the goodstubble. EspeciallyCarrow, sinceAmycus CarrowbyAndersonafterScrimgeourtokilling, sheis hostile towardAndersonextremelywithhisDefense Association, youguess that after sheknowsthesestudentsestablishDumbledore's Army, howto handlethismatter?”
“不管是卡罗,还是帕金森都不是什么善茬。特别是卡罗,自从阿米库斯·卡罗被安德森通过斯克林杰给弄死后,她就极度仇视安德森与他的防御协会,你猜她知晓那些学生成立邓布利多军后,会怎么处理这件事?”Also not strangeSnapesowill be angry, thisis the fellow who the groupis not free from worry.
也不怪斯内普会如此恼怒,这都是群不省心的家伙。No matterRubeus Hagridthatrudeandstupidbig fellow, headed byLongbottomthatgroup of students who do not have the brain, everyone is doingis thinkingis the rightfoolish matter, moreoverneedsheto helpclean up.
不管是鲁伯·海格那个粗莽又愚蠢的大块头,还是以隆巴顿为首的那群没脑子的学生,每个人都在做着自认为是对的蠢事,而且还都需要他帮忙擦屁股。SometimesSnapeevenfelt an ownlikelyfool, in the old fogybyfrontframedeceivingruns around in circles.
有时候斯内普甚至觉得自己像个傻子,被面前画框里的老家伙给骗得团团转。Especiallya while ago, after DumbledoreGryffindor's swordgavePotter, herealized that Hogwartsis tattered and torn, becamesomebody'sback garden.
特别是前阵子,邓布利多把格兰芬多宝剑交给了波特后,他才意识到霍格沃茨早已千疮百孔,成了某人的后花园。„Right, youneedto be carefulrecently, Harrystared atyouprobably.”Dumbledorechanges the topic.
“对了,最近你需要小心点,哈利好像盯上了你。”邓布利多岔开话题。„Stares atme?”
“盯上我?”Snapenarrows the eyeto stare at the Dumbledore'sportrait, saidwith the tone that ridiculed: „WhatPotterstares atme to make, killsmeto revengeforyou?”斯内普眯起眼睛盯着邓布利多的画像,用略带讥讽的口吻说:“波特盯上我想做什么,杀死我为你报仇吗?”„Shouldnot be.”
“应该不是。”„Thattoldme the reason.”Snapecoldlysaid.
“那告诉我原因。”斯内普冷冷地说。„Previoustimetheycome the Hogwarts'time, exactlyyounotin......”
“上次他们来霍格沃茨的时候,恰好你不在……”„Should Ihave the qualificationsto know?” The Snapetoneis very cold, Dumbledoredoes not seem to tellhim the reason.
“我应该有资格知道吧?”斯内普语气很冷,邓布利多似乎不打算告诉他原因。„...... Perhaps, otherwiseincurred, Harryalsodraws inAlbert.”Dumbledore does not seem to heard the Snape'swords, saying, „youare not the Andersonopponent, thatchildnowalready......”
“……否则恐怕就中招了,哈利还拉上艾伯特。”邓布利多仿佛没听到斯内普的话,自顾自地说着,“你不是安德森的对手,那个孩子如今已……”„Therefore, Ican'tknow the truth?”Snapestares atDumbledorestubbornly, in the eyesis glittering the angryflame.
“所以,我不能知道真相?”斯内普死死盯着邓布利多,双眼里闪烁着愤怒的火焰。„Theywantto determine a matter.”
“他们想确定一件事。”„Whatmatter?”
“什么事?”„WithdefeatingYou-Know-Whois related.”
“跟打败神秘人有关。”„DefeatsDark Lord, whatasksmeto make?”
“打败黑魔王,找我做什么?”Snapewas more annoyed, hespokerepugnantlyonlysayshalf ofbastards, more repugnantthattypebyDreadfulfeeling of being kept in the dark.斯内普更加恼火了,他讨厌说话只说一半的混蛋,更讨厌那种被蒙在鼓里的糟糕感觉。„Theywantto controlyou, usesVeritaserumforyou, digs outsomeusefulinformationfromyourmouth.” The Dumbledoreremindersaid.
“他们想控制你,对你使用吐真剂,从你的嘴里挖出些有用的情报。”邓布利多提醒道。„Whyyoudid not remindPotter, hewiththishad no wayto receive the usefulnewsfromhere.”
“那你为何不提醒波特,他跟本没法从我这里获得有用的消息。”„Icannot do that.”Dumbledoresaidin a soft voice.
“我不能那样做。”邓布利多轻声说。„ThatAnderson? Do not tellme, hisanythingdoes not know.”Snapeis staringDumbledoreruthlessly.
“那安德森呢?别告诉我,他什么都不知道。”斯内普狠狠瞪着邓布利多。„Hehad once promisedme, will not look foryourtroubleon own initiative.”
“他曾答应过我,不会主动找你的麻烦。”„Ido not feelsuchguaranteeto be ablesomewhat the credibility.”
“我不觉得这样的保证能有几分可信度。”„Are youafraidhim?”Dumbledoreis a little surprised.
“你害怕他?”邓布利多有点意外。„NoDeath Eaterdoes not fearhim.”Snapesaidmystifyingly,„youdo not knowprobably, about over halfDeath Eatermadeyourgoodstudentkillindirectly.”
“没有哪名食死徒不怕他。”斯内普阴阳怪气地说,“你大概不知道,有近半以上的食死徒都让你那名好学生给间接弄死了。”„Ithink that yourappraisallosesbiased.” The Dumbledoretrimmingbrow tipsaid,„youcannotbucklehisheadallthings.”
“我认为你的评价失之偏颇。”邓布利多微调眉梢道,“你们不能将所有的事情都扣到他的头上。”„Dark Lordregardshimfor the archenemy.”Snapesneers saying that „Ido not thinkmanypeoplehavesuchqualifications. Therefore, heevenkilled the Harry'sideato put downpersonally, actuallyobviouslyhehaddreadsthatfellow.”
“黑魔王视他为大敌。”斯内普冷笑道,“我可不认为有多少人有这样的资格。为此,他甚至连亲手杀死哈利的想法都放下了,可见他究竟有多忌惮那家伙。”Dumbledorejustopened mouth, actuallylistened toSnapeto continue, „after Potterdied, the fellowwill also killDark Lordprobablyas you expectedlike that thenyoucanachieve wishes.”邓布利多刚张嘴,却听斯内普继续说,“波特死后,那家伙大概也会如你所预期地那般杀死黑魔王,然后你就能够如愿以偿了。”„Real?”Dumbledoreasked.
“真的吗?”邓布利多问。„NaturallyIt's true.”
“当然是真的。”„No, Imeant that Voldemortno longerintertwinedto killHarrypersonally.” The Dumbledore'sexpressionis especially serious, actuallyhisveryclearthismeansanything.
“不,我是说伏地魔不再纠结亲手杀死哈利了。”邓布利多的表情格外严肃,他很清楚这究竟意味着什么。IfTom Riddleno longerintertwinesto killHarrypersonally, butis the preparationmakes others do for somebody, the Harry'ssituationwill wantworsecompared with the past, looks likeinDumbledore, VoldemortthreatenstoHarry's, evenmight as wellotherDeath Eater.
如果汤姆·里德尔不再纠结亲手杀死哈利,而是准备让其他人代劳的话,哈利的处境将会比以往都要更糟糕,在邓布利多看来,伏地魔对哈利的威胁,甚至都还不如其他食死徒。„Whatissuehas?”Snapealsofelt that the atmosphereis not right.
“有什么问题吗?”斯内普也感觉气氛不对劲。„HarrymustkillbyYou-Know-Whopersonallyis good.”Dumbledoresaidearnestly,„thisis very important.”
“哈利必须由神秘人亲自杀死才行。”邓布利多认真地说,“这点很重要。”„Even ifyousaidthesetome, Istillhave no means.”
“就算你跟我说这些,我也没任何办法。”Snapealsofrowns, althoughdoes not know why DumbledoreinsistedmustmakeVoldemortkillHarrypersonally, butdefinitelyholds trueby.斯内普同样皱起眉头,虽说不知道邓布利多为何坚持要让伏地魔亲手杀死哈利,但肯定有什么理由。
After Dark Lordno longerplansto killHarrypersonally, healsohas no means.
只是,黑魔王不再打算亲手杀死哈利后,他也没有任何办法。„It is not the order that Iissue, Ido not thinkoneselfcanchange the Dark Lord'sidea.” The Snaperemindersaid,„youshouldbe clearer than anyone, no matterCarrow, Parkinsonwas sentto monitorbyDark Lordmy.”
“又不是我下达的命令,我不认为自己能够改变黑魔王的想法。”斯内普提醒道,“你应该比谁都要清楚,不管是卡罗,还是帕金森都是被黑魔王派来监视我的。”Althoughsimilarlyis the Dark Lord'sleft and right hands, butSnapeactuallycannot compareYaxley, otherwiseThicknessesendsonepile of AurorcomesHogwartsto make an arrest, howmustfirsthimto tell.
虽说同样是黑魔王的左右手,但斯内普却远比不上亚克斯利,否则辛克尼斯派一堆傲罗来霍格沃茨抓人的时候,怎么都得让人先跟他说下。AsDeath Eater, Snapecandid not care at all, butHogwartsisturns over tohimto manageeventually.
身为一名食死徒,斯内普可以对此毫不在意,但霍格沃茨终究是归他管。Rushes to the schoolto make an arrestharebrainedly,
冒失地跑到学校抓人,Thiswhat's the matter?
这算怎么回事?Even ifmustissueto seize the Hagrid'sorder, will still communicatewithYaxleybyhimbeforehand, however the situationis actually not true.
就算要下达抓捕海格的命令,也应该由他跟亚克斯利事先沟通,然而情况却并非如此。Then, isthatbig fellowis too stupid, before helistenedotherprofessorsaidAndersonearly, to remindhimto leaveHogwarts, resultthatfellowhas not only left, begins schoolis graspedshortly, thiscanblameanyone, even ifhewantsto turn on the waterto makeHagridrun awaycannot achieve.
说起来,也是那大块头太蠢,他听其他教授说安德森老早前就提醒他离开霍格沃茨,结果那家伙不仅没离开,开学没多久就被抓了,这能怪谁,就算他想放水让海格逃走也做不到。„Perhaps, youshouldlook forAnderson, heisPrediction Master, perhapshas the meansto makeyourplanwork.”Snapedid not feeloneselfcanconvinceothersto give upkillingPotter'sthisgreat honor.
“也许,你应该去找安德森,他是预言大师,也许有办法让你的计划进行下去。”斯内普不觉得自己能说服别人放弃杀死波特的这份殊荣。„Albert is actually very discontentedwithme.”Dumbledoreshakes the head saying that „, althoughwewantto defeatVoldemort, buthetoodoes not approvemyplanactually.”
“艾伯特对我其实很不满。”邓布利多摇头道,“虽然我们都想打败伏地魔,但他其实不太认同我的计划。”„Thatalso is really regrettable.”Snapeis very decisive, throws the issueto the opposite partydirectly, „nowIneedyourhelp. Ithink that youdo not hopeyoursupporterwas closed the confinement, ina moment ago, meagreedFilchresumes the request of old stylepenaltyway, andauthorized«Approval for Whipping Decree». Thatattemptpreventsthem, that sideAlbert, Iwill contacthim, makinghimrestrainthatgroup of children.”Dumbledoresaidlet the Snapedumbfoundedwords, „when the time comesyouopen eyesto close one's eyeson the line.”
“那还真是令人遗憾。”斯内普很果断,直接把问题都扔给对方,“现在我需要你的帮助。我想你也不希望你的拥护者被关禁闭吧,就在刚才,我同意了费尔奇恢复老式惩罚方式的要求,并且批准了《鞭刑批准令》。那就尝试阻止他们,艾伯特那边,我会联络他,让他约束好那群孩子。”邓布利多说出了让斯内普目瞪口呆的话,“到时候你睁只眼闭只眼就行了。”„You......”Snapecould not speak, hedeeplyattractedseveraltones, „such being the case, thenpleasetellme, howthesedamnissuesshouldbe solved.”
“你……”斯内普说不出话来,他深吸了好几口气,“既然如此,那么请告诉我,这些该死的问题该怎么解决。”„Severus, Ihave died.” The Dumbledoreremindersaid.
“西弗勒斯,我已经死了。”邓布利多提醒道。„Don't forget, was you make meprotect the Hogwarts'student.”
“别忘了,是你让我保护霍格沃茨的学生。”„Yes, youhad not forgotten,thismakesverymegratified.”Dumbledorealsocontinuesto observeagreement of both sidestoSnapeto be very satisfied.
“是的,你没有忘记,这让很我欣慰。”邓布利多对斯内普还继续遵守双方的约定很满意。„NowIamHogwarts'Headmaster, Ithink that youhave the responsibilityto assistmeto manageHogwarts.”Snapehad decided that flungthesedamnissuestoDumbledore, the originalDreadfulmoodalsoimprovedall of a suddenmuch.
“现在我才是霍格沃茨的校长,我认为你有责任协助我管理好霍格沃茨。”斯内普已经决定把那些该死的问题都甩给邓布利多了,原先糟糕的心情也一下子变好了不少。„Dumbledore, wehave the dutyfor the currentHogwartsHeadmasterpotency!”Phineasremindedmystifyingly.
“邓布利多,我们有义务为现任的霍格沃茨校长效力!”菲尼亚斯阴阳怪气地提醒道。
