HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOFER'S STONE CHAPTER 4

– Gdzie jest armata?

"Where's the cannon?"

Za nimi rozległ się trzask i wujek Vernon wbiegł do pokoju z poślizgiem.

There was a crash behind them and Uncle Vernon came skidding into the room.

Trzymał w rękach karabin – teraz wiedzieli, co znajdowało się w długim, cienkim pakunku, który ze sobą przywiózł.

He was holding a rifle in his hands -- now they knew what had been in the long, thin package he had brought with them.

Drzwi uderzyły z taką siłą, że wypadły z zawiasów i z ogłuszającym hukiem upadły na podłogę.

The door was hit with such force that it swung clean off its hinges and with a deafening crash landed flat on the floor.

The door was hit with such force that it swung clean off its hinges and with a deafening crash landed flat on the floor.

Jego twarz była prawie całkowicie ukryta przez długą, kudłatą grzywę włosów i dziką, splątaną brodę, ale można było dostrzec jego oczy, błyszczące jak czarne żuki pod wszystkimi włosami.

His face was almost completely hidden by a long, shaggy mane of hair and a wild, tangled beard, but you could make out his eyes, glinting like black beetles under all the hair.

Podszedł do sofy, na której siedział zamrożony strachem Dudley.

He strode over to the sofa where Dudley sat frozen with fear.

Dudley pisnął i pobiegł schować się za matką, która kucała przerażona za wujkiem Vernonem.

Dudley squeaked and ran to hide behind his mother, who was crouching, terrified, behind Uncle Vernon.

Harry spojrzał na zaciętą, dziką, zacienioną twarz i zobaczył, że oczy żuka marszczą się w uśmiechu.

Harry looked up into the fierce, wild, shadowy face and saw that the beetle eyes were crinkled in a smile.

Wujek Vernon wydał z siebie zabawny zgrzytliwy dźwięk.

Uncle Vernon made a funny rasping noise.

"Żądam, abyś natychmiast wyszedł, siadaj!" powiedział.

"I demand that you leave at once, sit!" he said.

"Zamknij się, Dursley, ty wielka śliwko", powiedział olbrzym

"Ah, shut up, Dursley, yeh great prune," said the giant

Mam tu coś dla ciebie - mogłem na tym usiąść w pewnym momencie, ale będzie dobrze smakować.

Got summat fer yeh here -- I mighta sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right.

W środku znajdował się duży, lepki tort czekoladowy z napisem Happy Birthday Harry w zielonym lukrze.

Inside was a large, sticky chocolate cake with Happy Birthday Harry written on it in green icing.

"A co z tą herbatą, co? - powiedział, zacierając ręce.

"What about that tea then, eh?" he said, rubbing his hands together.

Jego wzrok padł na pusty ruszt, na którym leżały pomarszczone torebki po chipsach i parsknął.

His eyes fell on the empty grate with the shriveled chip bags in it and he snorted.

Wypełnił całą wilgotną chatę migoczącym światłem i Harry poczuł, jak ogarnia go ciepło, jakby zanurzył się w gorącej kąpieli.

It filled the whole damp hut with flickering light and Harry felt the warmth wash over him as though he'd sunk into a hot bath.

The giant sat back down on the sofa, which sagged under his weight, and began taking all sorts of things out of the pockets of his coat:

The giant began taking all sorts of things out of the pockets of his coat: a copper kettle, a squashy package of sausages, a poker, a teapot, several chipped mugs, and a bottle of some amber liquid that he took a swig from before starting to make tea.

Soon the hut was full of the sound and smell of sizzling sausage

Nobody said a thing while the giant was working, but as he slid the first six fat, juicy, slightly burnt sausages from the poker, Dudley fidgeted a little.

"Do you mean ter tell me," he growled at the Dursleys, "that this boy -- this boy! -- knows nothin' abou' -- about ANYTHING?"

A braver man than Vernon Dursley would have quailed under the furious look Hagrid now gave him; when Hagrid spoke, his every syllable trembled with rage.

"Kept what from me?" said Harry eagerly.

With his tongue between his teeth he scribbled a note that Harry could read upside down.

Hagrid rolled up the note, gave it to the owl, which clamped it in its beak, went to the door, and threw the owl out into the storm.

"Where was I?" said Hagrid, but at that moment, Uncle Vernon, still ashen-faced but looking very angry, moved into the firelight.

"Knew!" shrieked Aunt Petunia suddenly.

"Knew! Of course we knew! How could you not be, my dratted sister being what she was?

She stopped to draw a deep breath and then went ranting on.

"CAR CRASH!" roared Hagrid, jumping up so angrily that the Dursleys scuttled back to their corner.

Hagrid gulped, but no words came out.

Hagrid suddenly pulled out a very dirty, spotted handkerchief and blew his nose with a sound like a foghorn.

That was no ordinary cut.

"Load of old tosh," said Uncle Vernon.

Uncle Vernon certainly seemed to have got back his courage.

He was glaring at Hagrid and his fists were clenched.

But at that moment, Hagrid leapt from the sofa and drew a battered pink umbrella from inside his coat.

"Some say he died. Codswallop, in my opinion.

There was somethin' goin' on that night he hadn't counted on -- I dunno what it was, no one does -- but somethin' about you stumped him, all right.

He'd spent his life being clouted by Dudley, and bullied by Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon.

if he was really a wizard, why hadn't they been turned into warty toads every time they'd tried to lock him in his cupboard?

If he'd once defeated the greatest sorcerer in the world, how come Dudley had always been able to kick him around like a football?

"If he wants ter go, a great Muggle like you won't stop him," growled Hagrid.

"I AM NOT PAYING FOR SOME CRACKPOT OLD FOOL To TEACH HIM MAGIC TRICKS!"

He brought the umbrella swishing down through the air to point at Dudley

Dudley was dancing on the spot with his hands clasped over his fat bottom, howling in pain.

Hagrid looked down at his umbrella and stroked his beard.

"Shouldn'ta lost me temper," he said ruefully, "but it didn't work anyway.

He cast a sideways look at Harry under his bushy eyebrows.

"You can kip under that," he said.

"Don' mind if it wriggles a bit, I think I still got a couple o' dormice in one o' the pockets."
