A Kraken attacked Durmstrang's great ship, trapping the students and crew aboard while Allen and the others fought to protect them. The Kraken withdrew briefly, then created a Skagarack that began pulling the ship into a deadly whirlpool.

• Four-Eyes recognized the fish circling the ship as a warning of a Kraken, but anti-Apparition magic prevented the wizards from evacuating.

• Doctor identified the captive as Novak Monte, who had volunteered for the mission out of resentment toward Allen, and Novak demanded to know why she had made him repeat what she learned through Legilimency.
