'Yes,' he said suddenly, putting his tea down on Lupin's desk. 'You know that day we fought the Boggart?' 'Yes,' said Lupin slowly.
“有，”他突然說，把茶放在了盧平的桌子上，“您還記得我們對付博格特的那天的事嗎？”“記得。”盧平慢慢地說。
'Why didn't you let me fight it?' said Harry abruptly.
“您為什么不讓我和博格特斗呢？”
Lupin raised his eyebrows.
盧平揚起了眉毛。
'I would have thought that was obvious, Harry,' he said, sounding surprised.
“我原來以為這原因是明擺著的，哈利。”他說，聲音里透著驚訝。
Harry, who had expected Lupin to deny that he'd done any such thing, was taken aback.
哈利原來以為盧平不會承認這件事，因此也大吃一驚。
'Why?' he said again.
“為什么？”他又問。
'Well,' said Lupin, frowning slightly, 'I assumed that if the Boggart faced you, it would assume the shape of Lord Voldemort.'
“好吧，”盧平說，眉頭略略皺著，“我假定如果博格特面對著你，就會以伏地魔的形象出現的。”
Harry stared. Not only was this the last answer he'd expected, but Lupin had said Voldemort's name.
哈利瞪眼。不但這樣的回答是他沒料到的，而且盧平說出了伏地魔的名字。
The only person Harry had ever heard say the name aloud (apart from himself) was Professor Dumbledore.
哈利知道的惟一曾大聲說出這個名字的人（哈利自己除外）是鄧布利多教授。
'Clearly, I was wrong,' said Lupin, still frowning at Harry. 'But I didn't think it a good idea for Lord Voldemort to materialise in the staff room.
“顯然，我錯了。”盧平說，仍然對哈利皺著眉頭，“但是我認為，伏地魔在教員休息室里現形不是好主意。
I imagined that people would panic.'
我想大家會嚇得要命的。”
'I did think of Voldemort first,' said Harry honestly. 'But then I — I remembered those Dementors.'
“我首先想到的的確是伏地魔，”哈利誠實地說，“但是，然后我——我想起了那些攝魂怪。”
'I see,' said Lupin thoughtfully. 'Well, well... I'm impressed.'
“我明白了，”盧平沉思著說道，“唔，唔，我有印象。”
He smiled slightly at the look of surprise on Harry's face.
哈利臉上露出驚訝的表情，盧平對此微微一笑。
