[Macabre]
The creation of the golem was a bit more macabre than Viktor had originally believed it to be. The cold carving of a body that looked eerily similar to Harry lay on a table in one of the spare rooms in the Durmstrang ship. Viktor worked on the runes, with Harry occasionally correcting him, or improving the runes on the cold skin.
It was more disconcerting than Viktor expected it to be, and he had to continuously look up to make sure it wasn't really Harry that was lying on the table as if he were dead. Anyone could have mistaken the two with how closely the golem resembled Harry, something that Harry had insisted on for reasons unknown.
Harry looked more and more pleased with each passing day. The differences between him and the golem were being reduced to the fact that Harry was alive and had magic and the golem didn't. Viktor didn't know if that was supposed to make Viktor feel a bit more comfortable within the final task.
Not that Harry had let Viktor slack in his training, if anything Harry pushed him further and further. Making each night more and more tiring as each training got harder and harder to keep up with. Viktor wasn't sure of Harry's final goal, but Harry seemed to know more about this than him, as he always did.
And, so, Viktor continued to mark the body in runes, slowly bringing it to life, mimicking it to the boy he knew so well by now.
