*In the Library the next day, Hermione, Ron, and Damian sat with Harry as he explained what he found out for the next task.*

Damian: Okay, repeat it again?

Harry: ''Come seek us where our voices sound.''

Hermione: The Black Lake, that's obvious.

Harry: ''An hour long you'll have to look.''

Hermione: Again, obvious. Though, admittedly, potentially problematic.

Harry: ''Potentially problematic''? When's the last time any of you held your breath underwater for an hour?

Damian: Never even tried it.

Hermione: Look, Harry, we can do this. The four of us can figure it out.

*Just then, Moody walked in and cleared his throat.*

Moody: Hate to break up the skull session. Professor McGonagall wants you in her office.

*Damian and Harry got up but Moody stopped them.*

Moody: Not you or Wayne, Potter, just Weasley and Granger.

Hermione: But, sir, the second task is only hours away, and--

Moody: Exactly. Presumably Potter is well prepared by now...and could do with a good night's sleep. Go. Now!

*The two left the room. Moody then looked over to Neville.*

Moody: Longbottom! Why don't you help Potter and Wayne put their books back.

*Neville nodded and helped the two put the books back into the shelves.*

Neville: You know, if you're interested in plants...you'd be better off with Goshawk's Guide to Herbology. Do you know there's a wizard in Nepal who's growing gravity-resistant trees?

Harry: Neville, no offense, but l really don't care about plants. Now, if there's a Tibetan turnip that will allow me to breathe underwater for an hour, then great. But otherwise--

Neville: l don't know about a turnip. But you could always use Gillyweed.

*Damian and Harry were confused to what it was. After Neville explained it to the two of them, Damian then put a hand on Neville's shoulder.*

Damian: Why don't you go fetch some? Could be helpful.

Neville: Sure.

*Neville left the room and Harry then looked at Damian.*

Harry: Could always use your help too, you know?

Damian: You're going to need it.

Harry: How?

*Damian looked around to make sure no one was looking and he set the blueprint designs Fox handed him on the table. Harry took a look at it and was amazed.*

Harry: This is brilliant. Fox made it himself?

Damian: He did. It arrived last night. I'll be behind you every step of the way.

*The next day came the second task. Fred and George were making bets again.*

Fred: Any bets?

George: Any bets?

Fred: Come on, place your bets! Step up, mates! Don't be shy.

George: Three lads. One lady.

Fred: Four go down. But do four come up?

*Ginny pushed past them with Damian. The two of them turned around.*

Damian: You two think you could keep it down?
