Tom will be keeping an eye on you for me.'

'OK,' said Harry slowly, 'but why –?'
“好吧，”哈利慢慢地說，“但是，這為什么呢？”
'Don't want to lose you again, do we?' said Fudge with a hearty laugh.
“不想再失去你，難道我們想嗎？”福吉開懷大笑，
'No, no... best we know where you are... I mean...' Fudge cleared his throat loudly and picked up his pinstriped cloak.
“不，不……我們最好能知道你在哪里……我的意思是……”福吉大聲清了清嗓子，拿起了他那件細條紋長袍。
'Well, I'll be off, plenty to do, you know.'
“好吧，我要走了，忙著呢，你知道的。”
'Have you had any luck with Black yet?' Harry asked.
“你們有小天狼星布萊克的消息嗎？”哈利問道。

“什么意思？哦，你聽到了——好吧，沒有，還沒有呢，不過這只是時間問題。

“啊——部長？可以問你幾個問題嗎？”
'Certainly,' smiled Fudge.
“當然可以。”福吉微笑著說。
