So, not only did Harry have to actually figure out what the Second Task was going to be, but he also had to do well in it. He was also forced to attend a meeting with Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape regarding the severe beating he’d given Malfoy. Snape unsurprisingly wanted Harry expelled. However, Dumbledore noted that Harry needed to remain at Hogwarts because of the Triwizard Tournament, though he was very sternly told that his behaviour would be reviewed again after the Tournament was over. Snape was livid, but to Harry’s surprise, he deferred to Dumbledore’s judgement (but not before taking fifty points from Gryffindor).
