Summary

Harry's got to be under the sea, in a giant squid's garden, in peril. Get ready for the scuba trip from hell as Harry and the rest of the champions take on the second Triwizard task. J.K. recycles a plot twist; Mad-Eye contemplates a murder; Snape is awful but often correct; Cat Wife and Moaning Myrtle make triumphant returns; Dobby super duper saves the day; and Dumbledore speaks Mermish. Plus: Let's just reiterate that this school should immediately be shut down. None of this is OK. This week's chapters: The Egg and the Eye & The Second Task Next week's chapters: Padfoot Returns & The Madness of Mr. Crouch
