Malfoy told Madam Pomfrey he wanted to borrow one of my books so he could come and have a good laugh at me.

On the contrary, he sat bolt upright and broke into a sweat.

Midnight on Saturday! he said in a hoarse voice. Oh no oh no — I've just remembered — Charlie's letter was in that book Malfoy took,

he's going to know we're getting rid of Norbert.
他一定知道我們要弄走諾伯了。”
Harry and Hermione didn't get a chance to answer. Madam Pomfrey came over at that moment and made them leave, saying Ron needed sleep.
哈利和赫敏沒有來得及回答，龐弗雷夫人正好在這個時候走了進來，叫他們離開，她說羅恩需要睡覺了。
