"How did you know it was me?" she asked. "My dear Professor, I've never seen a cat sit so stiffly." "You'd be stiff if you'd been sitting on a brick wall all day," said Professor McGonagall. "All day? When you could have been celebrating? I must have passed a dozen feasts and parties on my way here." Professor McGonagall sniffed angrily. "Oh yes, everyone's celebrating, all right," she said impatiently. "You'd think they'd be a bit more careful, but no — even the Muggles have noticed something's going on. It was on their news." She jerked her head back at the Dursleys' dark living-room window. "I heard it. Flocks of owls… shooting stars… Well, they're not completely stupid. They were bound to notice something. Shooting stars down in Kent — I'll bet that was Dedalus Diggle. He never had much sense." "You can't blame them," said Dumbledore gently. "We've had precious little to celebrate for eleven years." "I know that," said Professor McGonagall irritably. "But that's no reason to lose our heads. People are being downright careless, out on the streets in broad daylight, not even dressed in Muggle clothes, swapping rumors." She threw a sharp, sideways glance at Dumbledore here, as though hoping he was going to tell her something, but he didn't, so she went on. "A fine thing it would be if, on the very day You-Know-Who seems to have disappeared at last, the Muggles found out about us all. I suppose he really has gone, Dumbledore?"
“你怎么知道是我?”她问道。 “亲爱的教授,我从未见过一只猫坐得这么老实的。” “你也会这样坐的,如果你是成天坐在一面砖石墙上。”麦格教授说。 “整天?你应该去庆祝才是。我今天来的时候一路上不知道有多少派对和大餐呢。” 麦格教授不高兴地哼了一声。 “没错,每个人都在庆祝。”她不耐烦地说。“你一定认为他们已经很小心了,不是的——即使是麻瓜都意识到有事发生了,他们还报导出来了。”她回头去看杜斯利夫妇黑呼呼的窗口。“我听到了,成群的猫头鹰……流星雨……他们真是太愚蠢了。人们肯定会注意到的。肯特郡的流星雨——我敢打赌是丹德拉斯。迪哥干的。他从来就爱干没意义的事。” “你不能怪他们。”邓布利多缓缓地说。“我们已经几年没有好好庆祝过了。” “我知道。”麦格教授有点儿生气。“但是没理由搞到连命都丢掉。他们真是太粗心了,包括穿着麻瓜衣服的人,居然大白天在大街上说长道短。”她斜眼膘了邓布利多一眼,好像希望他能说点什么,但是他没开口,于是她继续说:“最好是这样,在‘那个人’消失的那一天,麻瓜就知道关于我们的所有事情。我想他是真的离开了,是吗?”
