原文:
"It's — it's true ?" faltered Professor McGonagall. "After all he's done… all the people he's killed… he couldn't kill a little boy? It's just astounding… of all the things to stop him… but how in the name of heaven did Harry survive?"
Professor McGonagall pulled out a lace handkerchief and dabbed at her eyes beneath her spectacles. Dumbledore gave a great sniff as he took a golden watch from his pocket and examined it. It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge. It must have made sense to Dumbledore, though, because he put it back in his pocket and said, "Hagrid's late. I suppose it was he who told you I'd be here, by the way?"
"Yes," said Professor McGonagall. "And I don't suppose you're going to tell me why you're here, of all places?"
"I've come to bring Harry to his aunt and uncle. They're the only family he has left now."
"You don't mean - you can't mean the people who live here ?" cried Professor McGonagall, jumping to her feet and pointing at number four. "Dumbledore — you can't. I've been watching them all day. You couldn't find two people who are less like us. And they've got this son — I saw him kicking his mother all the way up the street, screaming for sweets. Harry Potter come and live here!"
"It's the best place for him," said Dumbledore firmly. "His aunt and uncle will be able to explain everything to him when he's older. I've written them a letter."
译文:
“这——这是真的吗?”麦格教授用颤巍巍的声音说。“他做了这么多坏事……杀了这么多人……可竟然杀不了一个孩子?这简直令人震惊… …我们想了那么多办法去阻止他……可苍天在上,哈利究竟是怎么幸免于难的呢?”
“我们只能猜测,”邓布利多说,“我们可能永远也不会知道。”
麦格教授掏出一块花边手帕轻轻拭了拭镜片后边的眼睛。邓布利多深深吸了一口气,从衣袋里掏出一块金表,认真看起来。那只表样子很奇怪,有十二根指针,却没有数字,还有一些小星沿着表盘边缘转动。邓布利多显然看明白了,他把表放回衣袋,说:“海格肯定迟到了。顺便问一句,我想,大概是他告诉您我要到这里来的吧?”
“是的,”麦格教授说,“可去的地方多了,您为什么偏偏要到这里来呢? 我想,您大概不会告诉我吧?”
“我是来接哈利,把他送到他姨妈姨父家的。现在他们是他惟一的亲人了。”
“您不会是指——您不可能是指住在这里的那家人吧?”她噌地跳起来,指着四号那一家。“邓布利多——您可不能这么做。我观察他们一整天了。您找不到比他们更不像你我这样的人了。他们还有一个儿子——我看见他在大街上一路用脚踢他母亲,吵着要糖吃。要哈利·波特住在这里?!”
“这对他是最合适的地方了。”邓布利多坚定地说,“等他长大一些,他的姨妈姨父会向他说明一切。我给他们写了一封信。”
