A flood of light quickly pierced the dark of the chamber. Many tall, freestanding torches lined a path to the very end of the room. The walls were carved with all sorts of words; they seemed not to use the same language twice. Harry had seen that some of the carvings were translated in the book but some of them were newer. His attention though was brought to the end of the chamber.

There, against the wall, was a crystalline structure. A body was held within it making him believe it was some sort of coffin. As he got closer, with an exasperated sigh from Snape, he could see more detail of the body within.

He couldn't have been much older then Harry himself. His lean body seemed fit for a quidditch player. Golden blond hair framed a peaceful face and, while they couldn't see his eyes, Harry figured they would have been blue or a clear light green. The odd thing though, was that he was wrapped up in chains. As well as the chains, he was pierced through the chest by a sword as well as an arrow. A snake wove around his feet, its fangs embedded into his leg. It looked like someone had wanted to be sure he stayed there.

He didn't remember anything like this in the book. It was apparently newer then the rest of what was evidently a tomb.

Dumbledore pulled him out of his musings "Is there any translations in that book connecting to him?"

Harry shook his head, not bothering to even look. This room was supposed to be empty other then the carvings.

Dumbledore nodded"very well" He pulled outhis wand and quickly muttered a spell. The crystal melted away like it was ice being exposed to too much heat. The boy's head fell forward, now unsupported, but other then that the chains and weapons wouldn't let his body move at all.

Harry wasn't sure but he thought that dead bodies were supposed to be ghostly white. While the boy was pale it was a more, I don't get out often. Now that he looked at him, while the boy's skin held a close to ivory tint, he looked just as though he were sleeping and not dead.

That thought brought even more chills then his current half frozen state. On that impulse though he reached out to the boy. His fingers brushed the boys cheek and he was startled to find, not only that it was rather warm to the touch, but also the boy stirred slightly. Harry pulled away quickly having learned that anything in this temple that moves ends up turning into a rather bad thing.

Dumbledore however moved closer to the boy. Seeing that the boy was not going to wake, he touched the boy's hand. Even with the more contact, he didn't move. Dumbledore backed away thinking for a moment. After a second he nodded to one of the Aurors "Would you try?"

The Auror stepped forward and touched the boy as well. Again there was no motion from the boy. Seeing that the Auror turned going back to his place with a shrug.

Dumbledore's eyes brightened, sparkling like mad "Harry, could you touch him again. I believe a little longer contact from you should do it"

Thinking that Dumbledore had gone insane, wanting him to touch what had previously been a dead body, Harry cautiously returned closer to the boy. Hesitantly he reached forward to gently place the tip of a finger on his forehead, ready to pull back and run should something happen. The boy stirred again, causing Harry to jump pulling his hand back, but did little more.

At Dumbledore's insistence he placed his palm on the boys forehead. He found that the boy's golden hair was extremely soft, almost silk like. His attention was so focused on the soft feel against his icyhands that he didn't notice the boy wake up. Once Harry realized that the body under his hand was moving he pulled back hoping his face didn't turn red.

Seeing the book in Harry's arms he smirked "I knew I left that somewhere," His voice was soft sounding like an angel. "It's fitting that you should have found it" He seemed greatly amused by a joke, which only he knew. Getting over it rather quickly, he became serious in a second and you had to question if it had been there in the first place. "I hope you wouldn't mind removing these" He gestured to the chains and weapons keeping him from moving.

When Dumbledore came forward to remove it though he was met with a harsh voice that betrayed the innocence he portrayed "No!" He had tried to pull away from the wall, only moving forward about a half inch. His eyes showed the pain he tried to keep hidden from his face "him, that's why you brought him after all is it not?" as he said it his gaze focused on Harry.

Harry looked to Dumbledore to be sure that it was all right, receiving a nod, he moved closer. His hand rested on the sword for a moment half expecting to be yelled at. Even the slight pressure of Harry's hand on the sword caused the pain to flash through his eyes, though he did his best to hide it.

Harry thought the sword looked familiar but didn't think twice about itas he quickly yanked it out. He expected a yell from the boy but it never came. Looking back to him, he saw the boy pulling the arrow from his body himself. That seemed odd; the chains hadn't loosened; yet he was able to free himself now. The snake, where it had seemed attached to him fell limply at his feet, lifeless.

A light struck on in his head, Gryffindor's sword. The one in his hand bore a distinct resemblance to that of the one he had used to fight off the Basilisk is his second year. "He pinned you here." It wasn't really a question but more that he wanted the boy to confirm it.

"That took longer then I expected," he commented "Not very impressive young Gryffindor" His voice was still soft but the angelic was lost to his new condescending tone. The way he used the word Gryffindor was different then how Ron would have, or even from how Malfroy would have. It was more said how Malfroy would say Potter, just with an icier undertonethat the Slytherin would have beenjealous of.

Well that was fun; I'm more getting into the plot now. GO ME! Yes well, I've been watching a movie called EarthSea… very good show. Anyway, all's good I hope and again sorry for taking so long.

I'm sorry, I really should have reread these last two chapters before I put them up... but its all fixed now and I'm happy . I'll start working on chapter 6 now. I'm going to try and make it longer but I doubt i'll end getting it to be. I find good places to stop and... well.
