Hermione suddenly grabbed Harry's arm again, Her wide eyes were travelling around the boarded windows.
赫敏突然又抓住哈利的手臂，她的大眼睛掃視著那些木板釘住的窗子。
'Harry,' she whispered. 'I think we're in the Shrieking Shack.'
“哈利，”她低聲道，“我想我們是在尖叫棚屋里。”
Harry looked around. His eyes fell on a wooden chair near them, Large chunks had been torn out of it, one of the legs had been ripped off entirely.
哈利向四周看了看。他的目光落到了附近的一把木椅上，椅子上扯去了一大塊木板，一條腿也不見了。
'Ghosts didn't do that,' he said slowly. At that moment, there was a creak overhead, Something had moved upstairs.
“鬼不會干這種事的。”他慢慢地說。這時，頭頂上傳來吱吱嘎嘎的聲音，樓上有什么東西在移動。
Both of them looked up at the ceiling. Hermione's grip on Harry's arm was so tight, he was losing feeling in his fingers.
兩人都抬頭望著天花板。赫敏把哈利的手臂抓得那樣緊，以致哈利的手指都失去知覺了。
He raised his eyebrows at her, she nodded again and let go. Quietly as they could, they crept out into the hall and up the crumbling staircase.
他對她揚揚眉毛，她又點點頭，放開了他的手臂。他們盡量悄悄地爬出去到了廳里，再爬上那道快要崩潰的樓梯。
Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust except the floor, where a wide, shiny stripe had been made by something being dragged upstairs.
所有東西都蒙上了一層厚厚的灰塵，但地板上不是這樣，有什么東西被人拖上了樓，在地板上留下一道發亮的寬印跡。
They reached the dark landing. 'Nox,' they whispered together, and the lights at the end of their wands went out.
他們走到那黑暗的樓梯平臺了。“諾克斯”兩人一起念念有詞，于是，兩條魔杖末端的光芒就消失了。
Only one door was open. As they crept towards it, they heard movement from behind it; a low moan, and then a deep, loud purring. They exchanged a last look, a last nod.
只有一扇門是開著的。他們潛行過去，聽到門后面有動靜；一聲低低的呻吟，然后是一聲貓感到滿足時的嗚嗚叫聲，既深沉又響亮。他們最后交換了一下眼色，點點頭。
Wand held tightly before him, Harry kicked the door wide open.
哈利緊握魔杖，踢開了房門。
