Now that you have completed the third obstacle, you are escorted to the front steps of the castle to begin your final obstacle of Task Four. Professor Lainey is there awaiting your arrival, worry clearly written on her face as she peered out over the lake. She gave the Champions their Obstacle and set them off. Gryffindor: 7.0 Hufflepuff: 7.0 Ravenclaw: 9.0 Slytherin: 9.0 Professor Lainey sighed in relief as all the Champions returned safely from the Lake. The Obstacle the Champions were asked to complete went like this: Quote:
Now that you have completed the third obstacle, you are escorted to the front steps of the castle to begin you final obstacle of Task Four. Professor Lainey is there awaiting your arrival, worry clearly written on her face as she peered out over the lake.
Professor Lainey floated just in front of each of the Champions and peered down at them all, then addressing them concernedly she said, “I believe each of you is familiar with our large creature that resides in our lake, The Giant Squid. It has fallen ill and needs immediate attention. The other Professor’s and myself has reason to believe that it was fed some sort of large stone. Your obstacle is to remove the stone, or whatever it is the squid digested, without inflicting any harm on The Giant Squid. But be warned, although The Giant Squid has indeed always been friendly to the students of Hogwarts, it has fallen into a horrible mood and should be approached cautiously. Remember you have only 24 hours. You may begin.” And Professor Lainey watched as they all stalked off in the direction of the Lake.
I have to admit that I was highly impressed with all the ideas and attempts to help save our beloved Giant Squid. I assure you that he will be forever grateful to each of you and is doing quite well. All of you guys really let your creativity shine. Just to mention a few examples, I must recognize the use of Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, a Muggle water gun, and the Weasley Twin's Skiving Snack boxes to help the dear Giant Squid. Good Work!
Congratulations Champions! You have finished the Second Task!
