Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Chapter 16 - Through the Trapdoor
Chapter 16
Through the Trapdoor
After that night in the Forbidden Forest, Harry has been feeling the pain in his forehead. And during the nights, Harry wakes up frequently because of the old nightmare he has. The flash of green light, and the cold, cruel laugh. But now, the nightmares are worse - he sees the hooded creature in the forest. He sees the unicorn blood dripping from his face.
Ron, Hermione and Neville do not seem as concerned about the return of Voldemort, or protecting the Philosopher’s Stone. And they say the Stone is safe because Dumbledore is at the castle. And because of the exams, they do not have time to think about other things. But Harry cannot think of anything else. Something has been bothering him very much. So one day he convinces Ron and Hermione to go to Hagrid’s with him.
“What is the best way to get rid of Hagrid?” he asks them as they walk towards Hagrid’s house. “What are you talking about, Harry?” asks Hermione, confused. “Don’t you think it’s strange,” Harry says to them, “that the one thing Hagrid wants is a dragon? But it’s illegal - it’s against wizard law to have a dragon. You’re expelled if you’re caught, right?” Hermione and Ron look confused. “So?” asks Ron.
“So…” Harry continues, “so then suddenly, someone appears with a dragon egg? And Hagrid wins the egg in a card game? And because he wants a dragon so much, he’ll keep it, and he’ll definitely be caught, and then expelled?” They arrive at Hagrid’s door, and knock. Hagrid answers, and he looks confused that they are there to see him. “Come on in. To what do I owe the honor of your visit?” he says. He is a little suspicious.

After that night in the Forbidden Forest, Harry has been feeling the pain in his forehead. And during the nights, Harry wakes up frequently because of the old nightmare he has. The flash of green light, and the cold, cruel laugh. But now, the nightmares are worse - he sees the hooded creature in the forest. He sees the unicorn blood dripping from his face.
Depois daquela noite na Floresta Proibida, Harry começou a sentir uma dor na testa. E durante as noites, Harry acorda frequentemente por causa do antigo pesadelo que tem. O flash de luz verde e a risada fria e cruel. Mas agora os pesadelos são piores – ele vê a criatura encapuzada na floresta. Ele vê o sangue de unicórnio escorrendo de seu rosto.
Ron, Hermione and Neville do not seem as concerned about the return of Voldemort, or protecting the Philosopher’s Stone. And they say the Stone is safe because Dumbledore is at the castle. And because of the exams, they do not have time to think about other things. But Harry cannot think of anything else. Something has been bothering him very much. So one day he convinces Ron and Hermione to go to Hagrid’s with him.
Ron, Hermione e Neville não parecem tão preocupados com o retorno de Voldemort, ou com proteger a Pedra Filosofal. E dizem que a Pedra está segura porque Dumbledore está no castelo. E por causa dos exames, eles não têm tempo para pensar em outras coisas. Mas Harry não consegue pensar em mais nada. Algo o está incomodando muito. Então, um dia, ele convence Ron e Hermione a irem à casa de Hagrid com ele.
“What is the best way to get rid of Hagrid?” he asks them as they walk towards Hagrid’s house. “What are you talking about, Harry?” asks Hermione, confused. “Don’t you think it’s strange,” Harry says to them, “that the one thing Hagrid wants is a dragon? But it’s illegal - it’s against wizard law to have a dragon. You’re expelled if you’re caught, right?” Hermione and Ron look confused. “So?” asks Ron.
“Qual é a melhor maneira de se livrar de Hagrid?” ele pergunta enquanto eles caminham em direção à casa de Hagrid. "Do que você está falando, Harry?" pergunta Hermione, confusa. “Vocês não acham estranho”, Harry diz a eles, “que a única coisa que Hagrid queira seja um dragão? Mas é ilegal – é contra a lei dos bruxos ter um dragão. Você é expulso se for pego, certo?” Hermione e Ron parecem confusos. "Então?" pergunta Ron.
“So…” Harry continues, “so then suddenly, someone appears with a dragon egg? And Hagrid wins the egg in a card game? And because he wants a dragon so much, he’ll keep it, and he’ll definitely be caught, and then expelled?” They arrive at Hagrid’s door, and knock. Hagrid answers, and he looks confused that they are there to see him. “Come on in. To what do I owe the honor of your visit?” he says. He is a little suspicious.
“Então...” Harry continua, “então, de repente, alguém aparece com um ovo de dragão? E Hagrid ganha o ovo em um jogo de cartas? E porque ele quer tanto um dragão, ele vai ficar com ele, e com certeza será pego e depois expulso?” Eles chegam à porta de Hagrid e batem. Hagrid responde, e ele parece confuso por eles estarem lá para vê-lo. "Entre. A que devo a honra da sua visita?" ele diz. Ele está um pouco desconfiado.
