鄧布利多軍在魁地奇世界盃決賽現場重聚

《預言家日報》八卦記者麗塔?斯基特報道

名人，還是名人。我們已經無數次地見證那些魔法界的明星們光臨巴塔哥尼亞大沙漠了——部長、首相、塞蒂娜?沃貝克、美國爭議巫師樂團「折翅的告密者」——每一次這些人的出現都會引起騷動，人們蜂擁而上索要簽名，甚至還有人朝空中拋擲架橋咒，期望能接近他們的 VIP 包間。

不過在當人們得知有一群超級明星巫師就要進場時，整個露營地和體育場的人群都表現出了一種前所未有的瘋狂。（這些巫師的面孔雖然已經不像年富力盛時那樣紅潤了，但人們依然一眼就能辨認出他們來）。這時，一切都已經亂了陣腳，激動的人群互相踩踏，踏平帳篷，擠倒孩子。似乎全世界的粉絲都湧向了每一個鄧布利多軍成員可能出現的地方，湧向了那個「被選中的人」。

波特一家和其他鄧布利多軍的成員端坐在貴賓席上，兩邊由各種重咒和守衛巫師保護著。他們的現身吸引來了大量的人群，大家都想親眼見見傳說中的英雄。下午 3 點的時候，在人群的尖叫聲中，波特領著他的兒子詹姆斯和阿不思參觀了球場，並在那兒將孩子們介紹給了保加利亞明星球員維克多爾?克魯姆。

身為傲羅的哈利波特就要 34 歲了，如今他的鬢角已有了一些白髮，但仍舊戴著那副圓框眼鏡，儘管人們說這副眼鏡更適合一個不懂風情的 12 歲小孩兒。除開額頭上那道著名的閃電疤痕，他的右側顴骨上又多了一道難看的傷口。如果你問到這傷口是哪兒來的，魔法部的人會十分謹慎地重複道：「斯基特小姐，我們已經說過不下 514 次了，這是傲羅部門秘密工作的一部分，我們無權評論」。他們到底在隱藏什麼呢？這個「被選中的人」是否又捲入了某個有可能讓我們再次跌入恐怖與混亂深淵的神秘事件嗎？

又或者他這次有比以前更加難以言說的隱情？是他的妻子的詛咒？難道波特一直在努力維護的幸福家庭已經出現了裂痕？我們能否可以認為他的妻子金妮將自己留在倫敦報道本次賽事，是為了故意冷落她的丈夫和孩子們嗎？委員會真的是因為信任她的天賦和經驗而賦予她重任的嗎？還是承認吧，如果你的姓是「波特」，一切大門都會為你敞開，國際體育機構能卑躬屈膝，《預言家日報》也會奉上優厚的職位。

死忠的粉絲和球迷一定記得，波特和克魯姆在三強爭霸賽期間曾是競爭對手，但顯然此次他們的擁抱並沒有敵對的意味（也許人們會一直猜測下去這其中究竟發生了什麼）。半個多小時的寒暄後，波特和兩個兒子回到了觀眾席，重新與身邊的鄧布利多軍成員坐到了一起。

旁邊包間里坐的是波特最親密的兩個夥伴，他們幾乎知道有關哈利?波特的一切，而且一直對媒體守口如瓶。這可能是因為他們害怕哈利?波特，或者這些事情本身也成為了他們自己的秘密，說出來就會毀掉擊敗伏地魔的神話吧。儘管如今羅恩?韋斯萊和赫敏?格蘭傑已經結婚了，但他們仍然無時無刻不在波特身邊。就像其他鄧布利多軍里的人一樣，他們都曾為霍格沃茲而戰，在這個巫師的世界裡，他們的勇敢毫無疑問值得人們更多的讚美和鼓勵。

韋斯萊剛剛結束比賽下場，他出名的姜色頭髮如今也變得有些稀疏了。他之前曾與波特一同受雇與魔法部，不過僅僅兩年之後，他就離開去了非常火爆的巫師笑話大講台——韋斯萊深夜秀。他真的像之前說過的那樣「喜歡和他一直喜愛的哥哥喬治一起工作」嗎？他是否已經走出了波特的陰影？對於一個伏地魔死亡聖器毀滅後，感覺到重壓在身的人來說，是否傲羅的工作有點過於繁重了。雖然他目前看上去還沒有表現出什麼精神失常的狀況，但是在人群中誰都很難下準確的傲羅判斷。已經有什麼可疑之處了嗎？

而赫敏，則永遠是他們中間至關重要的女人。據早先一些媒體的報道，還是小女孩的時候，赫敏就一直在戲弄著波特的感情，之後她迷戀上了強壯的維克托?克魯姆，不過最後赫敏還是回到了波特身邊，成為了他最親密的夥伴。赫敏在魔法部法律執行司一路飆升至副主管，繼續在魔法部里攀升的同時，她還擁有了兒子雨果和女兒羅斯。在赫敏這兒，真的證明了其實巫師也可以擁有一切嗎？（也許不是，你可以看看她的頭髮。）

鄧布利多軍里還有一些名氣不及波特、韋斯萊和格蘭傑的人（他們會有怨恨嗎？當然有）。納威?隆巴頓，如今在霍格沃茲魔法學校任教草藥學，他和妻子漢娜一同住在巴塔哥尼亞。最近據說他們搬到了倫敦的破釜酒吧里，不過也有傳言說漢娜並不甘心只做一個醫療法師，現在她正在申請做霍格沃茲的女總管。儘管大家都說這對不正常的夫妻來說，比起子女的陪伴，他們似乎更喜歡歐登的火焰威士忌，但我想我還是會祝福她能實現夢想的。

最後一個要提到的是盧娜?洛夫古德，她嫁給了神奇生物學家紐特的兒子魯爾福?斯卡曼德。盧娜如今的舉止依然怪異，她身上掛著由晉級的 16 個國家的國旗編成的繩子，在 VIP 包間門口游來盪去。而她的兩個雙胞胎兒子則「留在家和爺爺在一起」，也許意思是「他們不想出現在大家面前吧」。當然，只有不夠友善的人才會這麼揣測。

幾乎所有鄧布利多軍里的人都出現在這裡了，但只有這幾位是大家最關注的。當人群中出現紅色腦袋的時候，人們會禮貌的猜測這是韋斯萊，但具體來講你卻很難判斷這是喬治（韋斯萊深夜秀財大氣粗的經理）、查理（牧龍人，一直未婚，為什麼？），還是帕西（魔法交通部部長——如果飛路網不好一定是他的錯！）。最好認的人是比爾，這個可憐的孩子因為遭到過狼人的襲擊（被迷惑？迷情？勒索？還是綁架？），身上留下了可怕的印記，不過後來他竟然娶了無比美麗（但白痴）的芙蓉?德拉庫爾。

這些鄧布利多軍成員以及其他一些人相聚在本次決賽的 VIP 包廂里，讓這次相聚有了一種奢華、炫目的氣息。希望賽場上幾位後生的表現不負所望，最好不要給這些已經閃耀魔法史的人蒙上羞恥的陰影。

儘管大家在侵入他人隱私時總會有所猶豫，但事實上，對於任何與哈利?波特有密切聯繫的人來說，靠這種身份獲得一些好處的同時，他們也必須犧牲一些自己的隱私，來滿足公眾的慾望。毫無疑問，如果波特得知他十六歲的教子——泰迪?盧平——一個高挑瘦削的半狼人血統的孩子，自從到這裡起就表現得缺乏忠誠感，那他會多麼得失望與不滿；可是波特實在太忙，假如要求他再多抽出些時間來管管這個父母已經過世又天性不羈的孩子，可能是有點過分了。然而，一想到當初如果沒有盧平教授教訓自己會變成什麼樣子，還是讓波特感到了些許擔憂。同時，比爾?韋斯萊夫婦似乎很樂意看到他們美麗的女兒維克特瑞受到盧平的引誘，不管是在哪個黑暗的角落。不過好在他倆都已經發明了用耳朵呼吸的方法。否則，我可想不出他們是如何度過那段漫長的，在我年輕時期稱之為「親昵、愛撫」的行為的。

不過，我們還是不要太苛刻了吧，畢竟哈利?波特和他的同伴們從來都沒有聲稱自己是完美的！而對於那些特別想知道他們是如何不完美的人來說，請關注我即將在 7 月 31 日在麗痕書店發售的傳記：《鄧布利多軍：隊伍的陰暗面》。

Dumbledore』s Army Reunites at Quidditch World Cup Final

By the Daily Prophet』s Gossip Correspondent, Rita Skeeter

There are celebrities – and then there are celebrities. We』ve seen many a famous face from the wizarding world grace the stands here in the Patagonian Desert – Ministers and Presidents, Celestina Warbeck, controversial American wizarding band The Bent-Winged Snitches – all have caused flurries of excitement, with crowd members scrambling for autographs and even casting Bridging Charms to reach the VIP boxes over the heads of the crowd.

But when word swept the campsite and stadium that a certain gang of infamous wizards (no longer the fresh-faced teenagers they were in their heyday, but nevertheless recognisable) had arrived for the final, excitement was beyond anything yet seen. As the crowd stampeded, tents were flattened and small children mown down. Fans from all corners of the globe stormed towards the area where members of Dumbledore』s Army were rumoured to have been sighted, desperate above all else for a glimpse of the man they still call the Chosen One.

The Potter family and the rest of Dumbledore』s Army have been given accommodation in the VIP section of the campsite, which is protected by heavy charms and patrolled by Security Warlocks. Their presence has ensured large crowds along the cordoned area, all hoping for a glimpse of their heroes. At 3pm today they got their wish when, to the accompaniment of loud screams, Potter took his young sons James and Albus to visit the players』 compound, where he introduced them to Bulgarian Seeker Viktor Krum.

About to turn 34, there are a couple of threads of silver in the famous Auror』s black hair, but he continues to wear the distinctive round glasses that some might say are better suited to a style-deficient twelve-year-old. The famous lightning scar has company: Potter is sporting a nasty cut over his right cheekbone. Requests for information as to its provenance merely produced the usual response from the Ministry of Magic: 『We do not comment on the top secret work of the Auror department, as we have told you no less than 514 times, Ms. Skeeter.』 So what are they hiding? Is the Chosen One embroiled in fresh mysteries that will one day explode upon us all, plunging us into a new age of terror and mayhem?

Or does his injury have a more humble origin, one that Potter is desperate to hide? Has his wife perhaps cursed him? Are cracks beginning to show in a union that the Potters are determined to promote as happy? Should we read anything into the fact that his wife Ginevra has been perfectly happy to leave her husband and children behind in London whilst reporting on this tournament? The jury is out on whether she really had the talent or experience to be sent to the Quidditch World Cup (jury』s back in – no!!!) but let』s face it, when your last name is Potter, doors open, international sporting bodies bow and scrape, and Daily Prophet editors hand you plum assignments.

As their devoted fans and followers will remember, Potter and Krum competed against each other in the controversial Triwizard Tournament, but apparently there are no hard feelings, as they embraced upon meeting (what really happened in that maze? Speculation is unlikely to be quelled by the warmth of their greeting). After half an hour』s chat, Potter and his sons returned to the campsite where they socialised with the rest of Dumbledore』s Army until the small hours.

In the next tent are Potter』s two closest associates, the ones who know everything about him and yet have always refused to talk to the press. Are they afraid of him, or is it their own secrets they are afraid will leak out, tarnishing the myth of He Who Could Not Be Named』s defeat? Now married, Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were with Potter almost every step of the way. Like the rest of Dumbledore』s Army, they fought in the Battle of Hogwarts and no doubt deserve the plaudits and awards for bravery heaped upon them by a grateful wizarding world.

In the immediate aftermath of the battle Weasley, whose famous ginger hair appears to be thinning slightly, entered into employment with the Ministry of Magic alongside Potter, but left only two years later to co-manage the highly successful wizarding joke emporium Weasleys』 Wizard Wheezes. Was he, as he stated at the time, 『delighted to assist my brother George with a business I』ve always loved』? Or had he had his fill of standing in Potter』s shadow? Was the work of the Auror Department too much for a man who has admitted that the destruction of He Who Could Not Be Named』s Horcruxes 『took its toll』 on him? He shows no obvious signs of mental illness from a distance, but the public is not allowed close enough to make a proper assessment. Is this suspicious?

Hermione Granger, of course, was always the femme fatale of the group. Press reports of the time revealed that as a teenager she toyed with the young Potter』s affections before being seduced away by the muscular Viktor Krum, finally settling for Potter』s faithful sidekick. After a meteoric rise to Deputy Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, she is now tipped to go even higher within the Ministry, and is also mother to son, Hugo, and daughter, Rose. Does Hermione Granger prove that a witch really can have it all? (No – look at her hair.)

Then there are those members of Dumbledore』s Army who receive slightly less publicity than Potter, Weasley and Granger (are they resentful? Almost certainly). Neville Longbottom, now a popular Herbology teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, is here in Patagonia with his wife Hannah. Until recently the pair lived above the Leaky Cauldron in London, but rumour has it that Hannah has not only retrained as a Healer, but is applying for the job of Matron at Hogwarts. Idle gossip suggests that she and her husband both enjoy a little more Ogden』s Old Firewhisky than most of us would expect from custodians of our children, but no doubt we all wish her the best of luck with her application.

Last of the ringleaders of Dumbledore』s Army is, of course, Luna Lovegood (now married to Rolf Scamander, swarthy grandson of celebrated Magizoologist Newt). Still delightfully eccentric, Luna has been sweeping around the VIP section in robes composed of the flags of all sixteen qualifying countries. Her twin sons are 『at home with grandpa』. Is this a euphemism for 『too disturbed to be seen in public』? Surely only the unkindest would suggest so.

Sundry other members of the Army are here, but it is on these six that most interest is focused. Wherever there is a red head one may make an educated guess that it belongs to a Weasley, but it is difficult to tell whether it is George (wealthy co-manager of Weasleys』 Wizard Wheezes), Charlie (dragon wrangler, still unmarried – why?) or Percy (Head of the Department of Magical Transportation – it』s his fault if the Floo Network』s too busy!). The only one who is easy to recognise is Bill who, poor man, is grievously scarred from an encounter with a werewolf and yet somehow (enchantment? Love potion? Blackmail? Kidnap?) married the undeniably beautiful (though doubtless empty-headed) Fleur Delacour.

Word is that we shall see these and other members of Dumbledore』s Army in the VIP boxes at the final, adding to the glitz and razzmatazz of a gala occasion. Let us hope that the behaviour of two of their younger hangers-on does not embarrass them, heaping shame on those who have previously brought honour to the name of wizard.

One always hesitates to invade the privacy of young people, but the fact is that anyone closely connected with Harry Potter reaps the benefits and must pay the penalty of public interest. No doubt Potter will be distressed to know that his sixteen-year-old godson Teddy Lupin – a lanky half-werewolf with bright blue hair – has been behaving in a way unbefitting of wizarding royalty since arriving on the VIP campsite. It might be asking too much that the always-busy Potter keep a tighter rein on this wild boy, who was entrusted to his care by his dying parents, but one shudders to think what will become of Master Lupin without urgent intervention. Meanwhile, Mr and Mrs Bill Weasley might like to know that their beautiful, blonde daughter Victoire seems to be attracted to any dark corner where Master Lupin happens to be lurking. The good news is both of them seem to have invented a method of breathing through their ears. I can think of no other reason how they have survived such prolonged periods of what, in my young day, was called 『snogging.』

But let us not be severe. Harry Potter and his cohorts never claimed to be perfect! And for those who want to know exactly how imperfect they are, my new biography: Dumbledore』s Army: The Dark Side of the Demob will be available from Flourish and Blotts on July 31st.
