"Why?" panted Hermione, hurrying to keep up.
“为什么？”赫敏喘着气问，竭力赶上他。

"Don't you think it's a bit odd," said Harry, scrambling up the grassy slope, "that what Hagrid wants more than anything else is a dragon, and a stranger turns up who just happens to have an egg in his pocket? How many people wander around with dragon eggs if it's against wizard law? Lucky they found Hagrid, don't you think? Why didn't I see it before?"
“你们难道不觉得有些奇怪吗？”哈利一边匆匆跑下草坡，一边说道，“海格最希望得到的是一条龙，而一个陌生人的口袋里偏巧就装着一只龙蛋？有多少人整天带着龙蛋走来走去？要知道那是违反巫师法律的呀！你们难道不觉得，他们能找到海格不是太幸运了吗？我怎么以前没有想到这点呢？”

"What are you talking about?" said Ron, but Harry, sprinting across the grounds toward the forest, didn't answer.
“你到底想做什么？”罗恩问，但是哈利只顾飞跑着穿过场地，往森林的方向奔去，没有回答他的问题。

Hagrid was sitting in an armchair outside his house; his trousers and sleeves were rolled up, and he was shelling peas into a large bowl.
海格坐在小屋外面的一把椅子上，裤管高高地挽起，对着一只大碗，忙着剥豌豆荚。

"Hullo," he said, smiling. "Finished yer exams? Got time fer a drink?"
“你好，”他笑着说，“考试结束了？有时间喝杯茶吗？”

"Yes, please," said Ron, but Harry cut him off.
“好的，谢谢。”罗恩说，可是哈利打断了他。

"No, we're in a hurry. Hagrid, I've got to ask you something. You know that night you won Norbert? What did the stranger you were playing cards with look like?"
“不了，我们有急事。海格，我有一件事要问你。你还记得你玩牌赢得诺伯的那天晚上吗？和你一起玩牌的那个陌生人长得什么样儿？”

"Dunno," said Hagrid casually, "he wouldn' take his cloak off."
“不知道，”海格漫不经心地说，“他不肯脱掉他的斗篷。”

He saw the three of them look stunned and raised his eyebrows.
他看见三个孩子脸上立刻显出惊愕的神情，不由吃惊地扬起了眉毛。

"It's not that unusual, yeh get a lot o' funny folk in the Hog's Head - that's the pub down in the village. Mighta bin a dragon dealer, mightn' he? I never saw his face, he kept his hood up."
“这有什么好奇怪的，猪头酒吧——就是村里的那个酒吧，总是有一些稀奇古怪的家伙光顾。那家伙兴许是个卖龙的小贩吧。我一直没有看清他的脸，他戴着兜帽呢。”

人物介绍

不管她要面对多少成见，不管他们怎么对她，她对所有的同学谦虚依旧。詹姆·波特，这个总是想给莉莉留下深刻印象的人，并且对比他更早认识莉莉·伊万斯的西弗勒斯进行单方面的凌辱。（他从来不敢自己去和斯内普战斗，而是叫上卢平、小天狼星布莱克和小矮星彼得一起侮辱，可见为老波特打不过斯内普。）波特对其他同学亦是如此，不需要任何理由地乱施魔法。对此莉莉十分不满，她明白成见和喜爱黑魔法不是世界上仅有的罪恶。她拒绝了詹姆七年来的求爱，虽然她为此十分开心。她努力地帮助斯内普，可是，莉莉没花时间在他的抵御上。

渐渐地，莉莉和詹姆克服对彼此的成见慢慢步入成人世界，去面对更多更强大的敌人。在他们成年后，伏地魔渐渐将他的强大势力延伸至各个角落，莉莉和詹姆自然加入了凤凰社与之对抗。后来，一位预言家（P.S都知道是后来在霍格沃兹教占卜术的特里劳妮教授）预言，伏地魔和凤凰社的一对夫妻的孩子不能同时活着，而且对方要把对方亲手杀掉。当时，特里劳妮教授说的可以用在隆巴顿夫妇的儿子纳威.隆巴顿与哈利.波特两个人身上，但是伏地魔却自以为是地把那个男孩认定为波特夫妇的孩子哈利.波特（这一认定也在事实上将哈利标记为伏地魔本人的劲敌）。在与伏地魔斗争的时期，莉莉一定跟她姐姐有联系，因为佩妮确实意识到莉莉处于危险之中，但她并没有表示出丝毫同情。
