Although Harry was the last champion to save his hostage from the lake, he was awarded second place because of his determination to save both Ron and Fleur's sister. Harry doesn't have to worry about the tasks for a few months now, and soon he will be meeting up with Sirius.

With help from Dobby, Harry seems to be doing okay at the second task. He gets gills and flippers to help him save Ron. When he finds Ron in the lake, however, he realizes that the other people haven't been saved yet. Harry ends up saving Fleur's sister as well, even though the merpeople didn't want him to.

With help from Neville, Harry seems to be doing okay at the second task. He gets gills and flippers to help him save Ron. When he finds Ron in the lake, however, he realizes that the other people haven't been saved yet. Harry ends up saving Fleur's sister as well, even though the merpeople didn't want him to.

Harry, Hermionie, and Ron are still trying to figure out what Harry should do for the second task. Then, while they are searching for options, Ron and Hermionie have to leave suddenly. Harry keeps trying to find how to survive the task, but he falls asleep. When he wakes up, Dobby shows up and tells him it is already the morning of the task.

Harry has an unexpected task where he has to take someone to the Yule Ball, which is a tradition. He takes Pavarti, and Ron and Hermionie seem to have a disagreement. After the ball, Rita Skeeter, a journalist, takes personal information from people and mixes it up for a story. This affects many people. Hermionie reminds Harry to figure out how he can prepare for the next task.

Ron has finally apologized to Harry after the first task. Harry performed very well at the task and is in a much better mood lately now that Ron is his friend again. Hermione is still going on and on about house elves and how they are being treated poorly. However, nobody else seems to care much about this. Hermione, Harry, and Ron are now trying to figure out what the second task will be and how they can prepare.

Harry has just found out what the first task is thanks to Hagrid. The headmasters also know and Harry expects that they will tell their champions anyway, so he decides it's only fair that Cedric Diggory knows as well. So, Harry tells Cedric about the task, but Moody overhears him. Harry expects that he will get mad at him, but instead he gives Harry some advice for the tournament.

Harry is still stressing about the tournament. However, Hagrid helps him out by showing him what the first task will be. So, he tries to plan what he is going to do.

So far, Harry hasn't had a great year. He was able to go to the Quidditch finals, but that's about all the fun he's had. When he got to school, he was chosen as one of the Tri-Wizard tournament champions along with three other students. Nobody is happy about this, except for maybe the person who put his name into the Goblet of Fire.
