'He must've known he'd have a job getting back out of the castle once you'd yelled and woken people up,' said Harry thoughtfully.

'He'd've had to kill the whole house to get back through the portrait hole ... then he would've met the teachers ...'

Neville was in total disgrace.

Professor McGonagall was so furious with him she had banned him from all future Hogsmeade visits,
麥格教授為了他氣得不得了，不準他以后再去霍格莫德村；
given him a detention and forbidden anyone to give him the password into the Tower.

Poor Neville was forced to wait outside the common room every night for somebody to let him in, while the security trolls leered unpleasantly at him.

Two days after Black's break-in, she sent Neville the very worst thing a Hogwarts student could receive over breakfast — a Howler.

and Neville choked as a huge barn owl landed in front of him, a scarlet envelope clutched in its beak.
一只巨大的谷倉貓頭鷹停在他面前，叼著一個猩紅色的信封，納威傻眼了。
Harry and Ron, who were sitting opposite him, recognised the letter as a Howler at once — Ron had got one from his mother the year before.
哈利和羅恩正坐在他對面，馬上就認出那是一封吼叫信，羅恩去年就從他媽媽那里得到過一封。
'Run for it, Neville,' Ron advised.

Neville didn't need telling twice.

He seized the envelope and, holding it before him like a bomb, sprinted out of the Hall,

while the Slytherin table exploded with laughter at the sight of him.
斯萊特林院的學生看見他這副模樣哄堂大笑。
