A gargantuan Acromantual, charged with protecting a box. All through the labyrinth are pitfalls and perils. Each Champion's goal is to retrieve their box, one at a time.

| ===What's In The Box===
| |
| The first champions (with the exception of poor [[Teodosio Medici]]), recovered their prize - small sealed chests with no identifiable markings. The boxes seemed impossible to open by spell or by force. And then, on October 1, an image of a thestral appeared there-on, giving the Champions their first real clue as to how to get inside...

| Before the task, Durmstrang gets together to sort out a strategy as they decode the clues from the three thestral boxes.

| ====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 in the late evening - it would be the staging ground for the Second Task! And then into the ''the bathroom'' off all places they went! 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 at the last minute and the Goblet chooses [[Raine Almasy]] instead.
