"The Potters, that's right, that's what I heard—" "— yes, their son, Harry—" Mr. Dursley stopped dead. Fear flooded him. He looked back at the whisperers as if he wanted to say something to them, but thought better of it. He dashed back across the road, hurried up to his office, snapped at his secretary not to disturb him, seized his telephone, and had almost finished dialing his home number when he changed his mind. He put the receiver back down and stroked his mustache, thinking… no, he was being stupid. Potter wasn't such an unusual name. He was sure there were lots of people called Potter who had a son called Harry. Come to think of it, he wasn't even sure his nephew was called Harry. He'd never even seen the boy. It might have been Harvey. Or Harold. There was no point in worrying Mrs. Dursley; she always got so upset at any mention of her sister. He didn't blame her — if he'd had a sister like that… but all the same, those people in tails… He found it a lot harder to concentrate on drills that afternoon and when he left the building at five o'clock, he was still so worried that he walked straight into someone just outside the door.
“波特一家,没错,我听到的就是这个名字。” “一定的,他们的儿子,哈利——” 杜斯利先生僵住了。害怕紧紧地攫住了他。他回过头看着那群人想跟他们说些什么,可是又不知道说什么好。 他冲过马路,小跑回到办公室。嘱咐他的秘书不要打搅他,然后抓起电话就往家里打。打着打着,他突然改变主意了。他放下电话,抚弄了一下自己的胡子,陷入沉思。不,他太傻了。波特不过是个普通的名字。他肯定不只一个人叫波特并且他的儿子叫做哈利。想到这里,他甚至无法肯定他的侄儿是不是叫哈利。毕竟他从来没见过他。可能他叫哈维尔,又或者叫哈罗德,没有必要再去烦太太了,她一提到她妹妹就要叹气。这也不能怪她,如果杜斯利有个妹妹像她……不管怎么样,那些穿着被风的人…… 他觉得整个下午都很难集中精力干活。当他五点钟离开办公室时,甚至担心自己一出门就会撞到什么人似的。
