Chapter Nine Grim Defeat
第九章 不祥的失败
Professor Dumbledore sent all the Gryffindors back to the Great Hall,
邓布利多教授叫所有的格兰芬多院学生都回到礼堂去，
where they were joined ten minutes later by the students from Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin, who all looked extremely confused.
十分钟以后，赫奇帕奇、拉文克劳、斯莱特林等院的学生也来了，这些学生都是一副摸不清头脑的样子。
'The teachers and I need to conduct a thorough search of the castle,' Professor Dumbledore told them as Professors McGonagall and Flitwick closed all doors into the Hall.
“教员们和我本人将对城堡进行一次彻底的搜查，”邓布利多教授对学生们说，这时，麦格教授和弗立维关上了礼堂所有的门，
'I'm afraid that, for your own safety, you will have to spend the night here.
“为了你们自己的安全，我想你们可能要在这里过夜了。
I want the Prefects to stand guard over the entrances to the Hall and I am leaving the Head Boy and Girl in charge.
我要求级长们在礼堂入口处站岗，男生和女生学生会主席留在礼堂负责管理。
Any disturbance should be reported to me immediately, ' he added to Percy, who was looking immensely proud and important.
出了任何事马上向我报告，”他向珀西加了这一句，珀西一脸重要人士的自豪，
'Send word with one of the ghosts.'
“找一个幽灵带话给我。”
Professor Dumbledore paused, about to the leave the Hall, and said, 'Oh, yes, you'll be needing...'
邓布利多教授停了一下，正要离开礼堂，又说道：“哦，对了，你们会需要……”他随意一挥魔杖，
One casual wave of his wand and the long tables flew to the edges of the Hall and stood themselves against the walls;
长桌就都飞到礼堂的边上，靠墙站好了；
another wave, and the floor was covered with hundreds of squashy purple sleeping bags.
再挥一下，地面上就铺满了成百个紫色的睡袋。
'Sleep well,' said Professor Dumbledore, closing the door behind him.
“好好睡。”邓布利多教授说，他出去时随手关上了门。
The Hall immediately began to buzz excitedly; the Gryffindors were telling the rest of the school what had just happened.
礼堂立即响起了一片兴奋的嘤嘤嗡嗡的说话声，格兰芬多院的学生忙着告诉其他学生刚才发生了什么事情。
'Everyone into their sleeping bags!' shouted Percy. 'Come on now, no more talking! Lights out in ten minutes!'
“大家都进睡袋！”珀西大声叫道，“快，谁也不要说话了！十分钟以后熄灯！”
