He clapped his hands.
他拍了拍手,
In an instant, the green hangings became scarlet and the silver became gold;

the huge Slytherin serpent vanished and a towering Gryffindor lion took its place.
巨大的斯萊特林蛇隱去了,取而代之的是一頭威風凜凜的格蘭芬多獅子。
Snape was shaking Professor McGonagall's hand, with a horrible, forced smile.

This didn't worry Harry.

It seemed as though life would be back to normal next year,

It was the best evening of Harry's life,
這是哈利一生中最美好的夜晚,
better than winning at Quidditch, or Christmas, or knocking out mountain trolls...
比贏了魁地奇比賽、歡慶圣誕或打敗巨怪的日子還要美好……
he would never, ever forget tonight.
他永遠、永遠也不會忘記這個夜晚。
