HARRY POTTER DAN BILIK RAHSIA MINGGU 10

For the first couple of weeks back, Harry had enjoyed muttering nonsense words under his
breath and watching Dudley tearing out of the room as fast as his fat legs would carry him.
But the long silence from Ron and Hermione had made Harry feel so cut off from the
magical world that even taunting Dudley had lost its appeal and now Ron and
Hermione had forgotten his birthday.

Sepanjang dua minggu pertama, Harry seronok mempermainkan Dudley dengan mengolok-
olok membaca jampi sambil memerhatikan Dudley yang akan lari berkeliaran selaju kaki
gemuknya boleh membawa dia pergi. Namun, ketiadaan sebarang berita daripada Ron dan
juga Hermoine membuatkan Harry berasa terasing daripada dunia magik dan menganggu
Dudley tidak lagi menyeronokkan baginya. Tambahan pula, Ron dan Hermoine lupa akan
sambutan hari lahirnya.

What wouldnt he give now for a message from Hogwarts? From any witch or wizard?
Hed almost be glad of a sight of his archenemy, Draco Malfoy, just to be sure it hadnt all
been a dream. . . . Not that his whole year at Hogwarts had been fun. At the very end of last
term, Harry had come face-to-face with none other than Lord Voldemort himself.
Voldemort might be a ruin of his former self, but he was still terrifying, still cunning, still
determined to regain power.

Dia sanggup mengorbankan apa sahaja hanya untuk mendapatkan utusan daripada Hogwarts
mahupun daripada mana-mana ahli sihir. Dia amat bersyukur sekiranya dia melihat
musuhnya, Draco Malfoy, hanya untuk memastikan bahawa semua yang berlaku ini bukanlah
suatu mimpi. Bukanlah kehidupannya di Hogwarts tidak menyeronokkan. Pada akhir
semester pengajiannya tahun lepas, Harry telah bersemuka dengan Lord Voldemort itu
sendiri. Voldemort mungkin tidak mempunyai jasadnya yang sempurna, namun begitu dia
masih menakutkan, licik dan bertekad untuk mendapatkan semula kuasanya.

Harry had slipped through Voldemorts clutches for a second time, but it had been a
narrow escape, and even now, weeks later, Harry kept waking in the night, drenched in
cold sweat, wondering where Voldemort was now, remembering his livid face, his wide,
mad eyes Harry suddenly sat bolt upright on the garden bench. He had been staring
absent-mindedly into the hedge and the hedge was staring back.

Walaupun Harry telah terselamat daripada cengkaman Voldemort untuk kali kedua, tetapi ia
tidak mudah dan sehingga sekarang, Harry sering terjaga di waktu malam, badan dibasahi
peluh dan membayangkan di manakah Voldemort sambil terbayang wajahnya dan matanya
yang besar dibayangi dengan perasaan marah. Harry tiba-tiba bangun dan duduk di bangku
taman itu. Dia merenung kosong ke arah rimbunan pokok-pokok itu dan rimbunan pokok itu
seolah-olah merenungnya kembali.

Two enormous green eyes had appeared among the leaves. Harry jumped to his feet just as
a jeering voice floated across the lawn. I know what day it is, sang Dudley, waddling
toward him. The huge eyes blinked and vanished. What? said Harry, not taking his eyes
off the spot where they had been. I know what day it is, Dudley repeated, coming right
up to him.

Sepasang mata berwarna hijau muncul di sebalik daun-daun itu. Harry bingkas bangun
sambil mendengar ejekan dari seberang laman. Saya tahu hari ini hari apa, nyanyi Dudley,
sambil berjalan terkedek-kedek ke arah Harry. Sepasang mata yang hijau tadi tiba-tiba
berkelip dan menghilang. Apa? kata Harry,pandangannya tidak teralih daripada tempat itu.
Saya tahu hari ini hari apa. Dudley mengulanginya, sambil berjalan menhampiri Harry.
