Before the task, Durmstrang gets together to sort out a strategy.

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! ( 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.
Then, each team is asked to choose between four tunnels, in order of how they placed in the First Task.
