PAGES: 434-435

Harry Potter becomes anxious about the golden egg clue for the second task, but refuses to accept Cedric Diggory's vague advice to take a bath. Despite his growing frustration, Harry spends time trying to open the egg, asking it questions, and even throwing it across the room in desperation. His tension increases as the start of the new term approaches, yet he continues to reject Cedric's help out of jealousy for his relationship with Cho Chang.
