“If you must know, when I was three, Fred turned my—my teddy bear into a great big filthy spider because I broke his toy broomstick.
“你要知道，我三歲的時候，弗雷德因為我弄壞了他的玩具掃帚，就把我的—我的玩具熊變成了一只丑陋的大蜘蛛。

“哦，羅恩，里面不會有人的。”赫敏說。她站直身子，走了過來，
“That's Moaning Myrtle's place. Come on, let's have a look.”
“這是哭泣的桃金娘的地盤。來吧，我們進去看看。”
And ignoring the large out of order sign, she opened the door.
