As the match drew nearer, however, Harry became more and more nervous, whatever he told Ron and Hermione. The rest of the team wasn't too calm, either. The idea of overtaking Slytherin in the house championship was wonderful, no one had done it for seven years, but would they be allowed to, with such a biased referee?

Harry didn't know whether he was imagining it or not, but he seemed to keep running into Snape wherever he went. At times, he even wondered whether Snape was following him, trying to catch him on his own. Potions lessons were turning into a sort of weekly torture, Snape was so horrible to Harry. Could Snape possibly know they'd found out about the Sorcerer's Stone? Harry didn't see how he could — yet he sometimes had the horrible feeling that Snape could read minds.

　　哈利不知自己是不是故意这样料想，他不管走到哪里，都好像总要碰上史纳皮。

　　哈利许多次甚至怀疑，是不是史纳皮一直在跟踪他，想亲自逮住他。史纳皮真是太可怕了，药剂课也变成了哈利每周一次的酷刑，他是否有可能知道他们已经发现了关于点金石的秘密呢？哈利现在还看不出有这样的可能性——但是他有时有种可怕的念头——史纳皮能读懂他的心思。
