Fred and George concoct an aging potion, in the hopes of fooling the age line that Dumbledore has drawn around the Goblet. They think that it works at first, but then the Goblet spits their names back out. When their hair turns gray, and they start growing long gray beards, they begin to wrestle one another, each blaming the failure of their scheme on the other. Everyone at Hogwarts is excited about the upcoming Triwizard tournament. Voldemort arranges to have the cup turned into a portkey, so that Harry is brought to him when he touches it.

The heir of Slytherin has once again opened the Chamber of Secrets and unleashed the monster kept within.
