So that's that, and no harm done.'
事情就是這樣。沒有造成任何傷害。”
Fudge smiled at Harry over the rim of his teacup, rather like an uncle surveying a favourite nephew.
福吉從他的茶杯邊上對著哈利微笑，倒像是一位叔叔在看心愛的侄子。
Harry, who couldn't believe his ears, opened his mouth to speak, couldn't think of anything to say, and closed it again.
哈利不相信自己的耳朵，張開嘴要說話，又想不出來該說什么，只好閉上了嘴巴。
'Ah, you're worrying about the reaction of your aunt and uncle?' said Fudge.
“啊，你在擔心你的姨媽和姨父的反應吧？”福吉說，
'Well, I won't deny that they are extremely angry, Harry,
“好吧，我不否認他們極其生氣，哈利，
but they are prepared to take you back next summer as long as you stay at Hogwarts for the Christmas and Easter holidays.'
不過，只要你圣誕節和復活節都留在霍格沃茨，他們是準備明年夏天讓你回去的。”
Harry unstuck his throat.
哈利的嗓子眼兒不再堵得慌了。
'I always stay at Hogwarts for the Christmas and Easter holidays,' he said, 'and I don't ever want to go back to Privet Drive.'
“我永遠在霍格沃茨過圣誕節和復活節的，”他說道，“我不想再回女貞路了。”
'Now, now, I'm sure you'll feel differently once you've calmed down,' said Fudge in a worried tone.
“喏，喏，等你鎮靜下來以后，我肯定你就不會這樣想了。”福吉說，帶著擔心的聲調。
'They are your family, after all, and I'm sure you are fond of each other — er — very deep down.'
“他們畢竟是你的家人，我肯定你們——哦——內心深處是彼此喜愛的。”
It didn't occur to Harry to put Fudge right.
哈利不想去糾正福吉的看法，
He was still waiting to hear what was going to happen to him now.
他仍舊等著聽怎樣發落他。
'So all that remains,' said Fudge, now buttering himself a second crumpet,
“那現在剩下的就是，”福吉說，又在給他第二塊烤面餅涂黃油，
'is to decide where you're going to spend the last three weeks of your holidays.
“你剩下的兩星期假期在哪里過。
I suggest you take a room here at the Leaky Cauldron and...'
我建議你在破釜酒吧開一個房間，并且——”
'Hang on,' blurted Harry, 'what about my punishment?'
“等一等，”哈利急促地說，“給我的處分怎么說？”
Fudge blinked. 'Punishment?'
福吉眨了眨眼，“處分？”
'I broke the law!' Harry said. 'The Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry!'
“我違法了！”哈利說，“限制未成年人使用魔法的法令！”
