Then, after a hasty lunch, it was straight back upstairs for the Charms exam.
然后，大家急急忙忙吃過午飯，直接回到樓上參加魔咒課的考試。
Hermione had been right; Professor Flitwick did indeed test them on Cheering Charms.
赫敏上次說得對，弗立維教授的確考他們快樂咒語了。
Harry slightly overdid his out of nerves and Ron, who was partnering him, ended up in fits of hysterical laughter
哈利在消除緊張不安方面做得稍有些過頭，而作為他搭檔的羅恩最后一陣陣歇斯底里的大笑，
and had to be led away to a quiet room for an hour before he was ready to perform the Charm himself.
人們只得把他領到安靜的房間待了一個小時，等到他自己能念快樂咒語時為止。
After dinner, the students hurried back to their common rooms, not to relax,
晚飯以后，學生們趕回公共休息室，不是為了放松，
but to start revising for Care of Magical Creatures, Potions and Astronomy.
而是開始復習保護神奇生物、魔藥和天文學。
Hagrid presided over the Care of Magical Creatures exam the following morning with a very preoccupied air indeed;
第二天早晨，海格主持保護神奇生物考試，但一副心事重重的樣子，
his heart didn't seem to be in it at all.
心思似乎根本不在考試上。
He had provided a large tub of fresh Flobberworms for the class,
他給全班學生拿了一大桶新鮮的弗洛伯毛蟲，
and told them that, to pass the test, their Flobberworm had to still be alive at the end of one hour.
告訴大家說，要想通過考試，他們的弗洛伯毛蟲必須在一小時以后仍然活著。
As Flobberworms flourished best if left to their own devices, it was the easiest exam any of them had ever sat,
要是對弗洛伯毛蟲放任不管，它們就繁殖得極快，因此這是他們所經歷過的最容易的考試，
and also gave Harry, Ron and Hermione plenty of opportunity to speak to Hagrid.
這也給哈利、羅恩和赫敏提供了許多機會，以便和海格談話。
'Beaky's gettin' a bit depressed,' Hagrid told them, bending low on the pretence of checking that Harry's Flobberworm was still alive.
“比克有一點兒沮喪，”海格告訴他們說，假裝查看哈利的毛蟲是不是還活著，身體彎得很低，
'Bin cooped up too long. But still ... we'll know day after tomorrow — one way or the other.'
“禁閉得太久了。但仍舊……后天我們就知道了——勝還是敗。”
They had Potions that afternoon, which was an unqualified disaster.
那天下午他們考魔藥，那絕對是一場災難。
Try as Harry might, he couldn't get his Confusing Concoction to thicken, and Snape, standing watching with an air of vindictive pleasure,
哈利雖然盡了努力，他的混亂調料仍然太濃，斯內普站在一旁看著，一副幸災樂禍的樣子。
scribbled something that looked suspiciously like a zero onto his notes before moving away.
在離開前他在哈利本子上寫下幾個字，看上去很像是一個零字。
