The Gryffindor common room was always very crowded these days, because from six o'clock onward the Gryffindors had nowhere else to go. They also had plenty to talk about, with the result that the common room often didn't empty until past midnight.
最近这些日子，格兰芬多的公共休息室里总是挤满了人，因为晚上六点钟以后，格兰芬多的学生们就没有别的地方可去了。而且他们总是有许多话要谈，结果，公共休息室里经常到午夜之后还有人。
Harry went to get the Invisibility Cloak out of his trunk right after dinner, and spent the evening sitting on it, waiting for the room to clear. Fred and George challenged Harry and Ron to a few games of Exploding Snap, and Ginny sat watching them, very subdued in Hermione's usual chair. Harry and Ron kept losing on purpose, trying to finish the games quickly, but even so, it was well past midnight when Fred, George, and Ginny finally went to bed.
吃过晚饭后，哈利从箱子里取出隐形衣，然后整个晚上都坐在它上面，等屋里的人都走光。弗雷德和乔治向哈利和罗恩提出挑战，要求玩呼“同”牌戏，金妮在一旁观看。她坐在赫敏惯常的座位上，情绪低落。哈利和罗恩不停地故意输掉，想早点儿结束比赛，但即使这样，弗雷德、乔治和金妮去睡觉的时候也已经过午夜了。
Harry and Ron waited for the distant sounds of two dormitory doors closing before seizing the cloak, throwing it over themselves, and climbing through the portrait hole.
哈利和罗恩等着远处传来两声宿舍的关门声，才抓起隐形衣，披在身上，从肖像洞口爬了出去。
It was another difficult journey through the castle, dodging all the teachers. At last they reached the entrance hall, slid back the lock on the oak front doors, squeezed between them, trying to stop any creaking, and stepped out into the moonlit grounds.
穿过城堡的路也很艰难，要千方百计躲着老师。最后，他们总算到了门厅，溜到了那两扇栎木大门的门锁后面，从门缝里挤了出去，尽量不发出吱吱呀呀的声音，然后来到月光皎洁的场地上。
'Course, said Ron abruptly as they strode across the black grass, "we might get to the forest and find there's nothing to follow. Those spiders might not've been going there at all. I know it looked like they were moving in that sort of general direction, but ... "
“怎么走，”当他们大步穿过黑黝黝的草地时，罗恩突然说道，“我们也许到了林子里以后，根本就我不到东西可以跟踪。那些蜘蛛可能压根儿就没有到那儿去。我知道，它们当时似乎是朝那个方向移动的，但是……”
His voice trailed away hopefully.
他没有说下去，给哈利留下了一点希望。
