Chapter 4-25 The Egg and the Eye

• Harry decides to take the golden egg to the bath in the Prefects' bathroom. Using his Invisibility Cloak and the Marauder's Map he goes to the bathroom at night. Ron opens the portrait hole for him with the new password 'Banana Fritters'. Reaching the statue of Boris the Bewildered he enters the bathroom with the password 'Pine-fresh'.
• On a painting on the wall there's a blonde Mermaid. When he opens the golden egg it starts wailing. Moaning Myrtle appears and suggests putting it ín the water; that's what Cedric did. Putting his head under water, Harry hears this song:

  Come seek us where our voices sound,
  We cannot sing above the ground,
  And while you're searching, ponder this;
  We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
  An hour long you'll have to look,
  And to recover what we took,
  But past an hour - the prospect's black
  Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.

  Listening three more times he memorises the song. Then he discovers the clue. It has to do with the Merpeople in the lake.
• He gets out of the bath and leaves the bathroom. On the map he sees Bartemius Crouch's name in Snape's office. He goes in the direction to check it out. His leg get's stuck in one of the chairs' steps, letting the egg and the map drop. Filch turns up to check out what the noise is. Filch finds the egg, thinking it was Peeves who stole it. Snape also turns up and Moody a moment later. Moody, who can look through the Invisibility Cloak, sees Harry. Snape tries to take the map from the floor, but, Harry signals to Moody that it is his. Moody uses an ¤ Accio to get it before Snape can get hold of it. Snape realises Harry is nearby and wants to search for him but Moody manipulates him and scares him away. Moody also takes the egg back from Filch. Snape and Filch leave. Moody helps Harry get out of the stairs, gives him back the egg and borrows the Marauders Map. Harry tells him that Mr. Crouch showed up on the map in Snapes' office.
