19.The Lion and the Serpent（400）

Chapter 19: The Lion and the Serpent

Quidditch season begins, and tensions between Gryffindor and Slytherin are at an all-time high. The rivalry culminates in a particularly heated match, during which Slytherin players resort to dirty tactics and insults to provoke the Gryffindors. Harry, as the Gryffindor Seeker, faces intense pressure and hostility. Despite the Slytherins’ attempts to undermine them, Gryffindor wins the match. However, the victory is overshadowed by a post-match brawl initiated by Draco Malfoy’s taunts about Harry’s mother and Ron’s family. Harry, George, and Fred Weasley are all given lifetime bans from Quidditch by Umbridge, who uses the incident as an excuse to exert more control. This decision devastates Harry and his friends, as Quidditch has been a vital outlet and source of joy for them. The ban also serves to further isolate Harry and intensify his resentment towards Umbridge. The chapter underscores the increasing oppression at Hogwarts and the ways in which Umbridge manipulates events to tighten her grip on the school. Despite these setbacks, the spirit of resistance within Dumbledore’s Army remains strong, and the group continues to meet and train in secret, finding strength in their unity and defiance.

第十九章：狮与蛇

魁地奇赛季开始，格兰芬多和斯莱特林之间的紧张关系达到了空前的高度。这种对抗在一场特别激烈的比赛中达到高潮，斯莱特林球员采取肮脏的战术和侮辱性语言来挑衅格兰芬多。作为格兰芬多的找球手，哈利面临着巨大的压力和敌意。尽管斯莱特林试图破坏他们，格兰芬多赢得了比赛。然而，胜利被比赛结束后德拉科·马尔福对哈利母亲和罗恩家人的嘲讽所引发的打斗所掩盖。乌姆里奇利用这个事件作为借口，给予哈利、乔治和弗雷德·韦斯莱终身禁止参加魁地奇的处罚。这一决定让哈利和他的朋友们感到沮丧，因为魁地奇一直是他们重要的出路和欢乐源泉。禁赛也进一步孤立了哈利，加剧了他对乌姆里奇的怨恨。章节突显了霍格沃茨日益增长的压迫，以及乌姆里奇如何操纵事件来加强对学校的控制。尽管遭遇这些挫折，邓布利多军内部的抵抗精神依然强烈，小组继续秘密会面和训练，在团结和反抗中找到了力量。
