| The dim picture of a darkened room came to him. There had been a snake on a hearth rug.a small man called Peter, nicknamed Wormtail.and a cold, high voice.the voice of Lord Voldemort. Harry felt as though an ice cube had slipped down into his stomach at the very thought. | В голове всплыла картинка: полутёмная комната... змея на коврике у камина... человечек по имени Питер, по прозвищу Червехвост... высокий ледяной голос.... голос Лорда Вольдеморта. При одной мысли о нём по пищеводу в живот будто бы проскользнул кубик льда... |

А может, его разбудила боль во лбу? |
| And who had the old man been? For there had definitely been an old man; Harry had watched him fall to the ground. It was all becoming confused. Harry put his face into his hands, blocking out his bedroom, trying to hold on to the picture of that dimly lit room, but it was like trying to keep water in his cupped hands; the details were now trickling away as fast as he tried to hold on to them. Voldemort and Wormtail had been talking about someone they had killed, though Harry could not remember the name .and they had been plotting to kill someone else. him! | И что это был за старик? Там точно был какой-то старик; Гарри видел, как он упал на пол. В голове всё перемешалось; мальчик прижал ладони к лицу, чтобы не видеть комнаты и удержать видение, но это было всё равно что пытаться удержать в руках воду; чем сильнее он цеплялся за воспоминания, тем быстрее они исчезали из памяти... Вольдеморт и Червехвост говорили о ком-то, кого они убили... Гарри никак не мог вспомнить имени... и они собирались убить кого-то ещё... его самого! |
| Harry took his face out of his hands, opened his eyes, and stared around his bedroom as though expecting to see something unusual there. As it happened, there was an extraordinary number of unusual things in this room. A large wooden trunk stood open at the foot of his bed, revealing a cauldron, broomstick, black robes, and assorted spellbooks. Rolls of parchment littered that part of his desk that was not taken up by the large, empty cage in which his snowy owl, Hedwig, usually perched. On the floor beside his bed a book lay open; Harry had been reading it before he fell asleep last night. The pictures in this book were all moving. Men in bright orange robes were zooming in and out of sight on broomsticks, throwing a red ball to one another. |
