===November 21, 2009===
A small crowd consisting of the champions, delegation staff, press and tournament officials arrived at a rather plain looking hallway on the second floor - it would be the staging ground for the Second Task!  After some ceremony, all descend into the [[Chamber of Secrets]]!  ([[Bai Li Yang | Professor Bai Li Yang]] of Salem speaks in Parseltongue to open the Chamber.)
 
In a sad twist of fate, [[Alexandra Carstairs]] is unable to compete and the Goblet chooses [[Raine Almasy]] instead.
