The Dursleys got into bed. Mrs. Dursley fell asleep quickly but Mr. Dursley lay awake, turning it all over in his mind. His last, comforting thought before he fell asleep was that even if the Potters were involved, there was no reason for them to come near him and Mrs. Dursley. The Potters knew very well what he and Petunia thought about them and their kind… He couldn't see how he and Petunia could get mixed up in anything that might be going on — he yawned and turned over — it couldn't affect them…How very wrong he was. Mr. Dursley might have been drifting into an uneasy sleep, but the cat on the wall outside was showing no sign of sleepiness. It was sitting as still as a statue, its eyes fixed unblinkingly on the far corner of Privet Drive. It didn't so much as quiver when a car door slammed on the next street, nor when two owls swooped overhead. In fact, it was nearly midnight before the cat moved at all. A man appeared on the corner the cat had been watching, appeared so suddenly and silently you'd have thought he'd just popped out of the ground. The cat's tail twitched and its eyes narrowed. Nothing like this man had ever been seen on Privet Drive. He was tall, thin, and very old, judging by the silver of his hair and beard, which were both long enough to tuck into his belt. He was wearing long robes, a purple cloak that swept the ground, and high-heeled, buckled boots. His blue eyes were light, bright, and sparkling behind half-moon spectacles and his nose was very long and crooked, as though it had been broken at least twice. This man's name was Albus Dumbledore.
杜斯利夫婦上了床。杜斯利夫人很快便睡著了，但是杜斯利先生卻睡不著，翻來覆去地想著。在他入睡前最后一個稍微安慰的想法是：即便整件事與波特家有關(guān)，也并不意味著一定會牽扯到他和他太太。波特家非常清楚他和帕尤妮亞是怎樣看待他們的……他覺得他和帕尤妮亞不可能與將來可能發(fā)生的事有任何關(guān)聯(lián)。他打了一個呵欠并翻了一個身。不讓波特影響到他們的……他真是大錯特錯。 杜斯利先生可能已經(jīng)忐忑不安地進(jìn)入了夢鄉(xiāng)，可是外面那只在墻上的貓卻毫無睡意。它一動不動地坐在那里，眼睛一下也不眨地盯著普里懷特街的拐角處。即使有汽車車門砰地一聲關(guān)上，兩只貓頭鷹從頭頂飛過，它也不動一下。實(shí)際上，直到將近午夜它都沒動。 這時一個男人出現(xiàn)在貓一直盯住的拐角處，他出現(xiàn)如此突然又無聲無息，以至你會認(rèn)為他是從地下冒出來的，那只貓動了一下尾巴，瞇起了雙眼。 這個人從未在普里懷特街出現(xiàn)過。他又高又瘦，從他那銀白色的頭發(fā)以及長到可以塞進(jìn)皮帶的胡子，可以看出他已經(jīng)很老了。他穿著長袍，一件拖到地的紫色披風(fēng)以及一雙高跟、帶扣的靴于。他耶雙半月形眼鏡底下的藍(lán)色眼睛炯炯有神。他的鼻子又長又彎，好像被至少扁過兩次。這個男人的名字是艾伯斯。丹伯多。
