煙火開始嘶嘶作響，迸出火星。
Knowing he had only seconds, Harry straightened up, took aim, and lobbed it into the air; it landed right on target in Goyle's cauldron.
哈利知道自己只有幾秒鐘的時間，便直起身，瞄準目標，把煙火擲了出去。煙火準確地落進了高爾的鍋里。

which had expanded to the size of a dinner plate—Snape was trying to restore calm and find out what had happened.

Through the confusion, Harry saw Hermione slip quietly into Snape's office.
在這一片混亂中，哈利看見赫敏悄悄溜出了教室。
Silence! SILENCE!Snape roared. Anyone who has been splashed, come here for a Deflating Draught—when I find out who did this.
安靜！安靜！斯內普咆哮道，被藥水濺到的同學，都到我這里來領消腫劑。等我弄清楚是誰干的…
Harry tried not to laugh as he watched Malfoy hurry forward, his head drooping with the weight of a nose like a small melon.
哈利忍著笑，看著馬爾福急急忙忙沖上前去，他的鼻子腫成了一個小西瓜，腦袋被墜得耷拉著。
As half the class lumbered up to Snape's desk, some weighted down with arms like clubs,

others unable to talk through gigantic puffedup lips,
有的人嘴巴腫得老高老大，根本沒法說話。
