[Suspicion]
With every day that passed, mistaking the golem for Harry got more and more easy, and Harry looked more and more pleased with the golem. Viktor couldn't help but start to think that Harry had some other plan for the golem that didn't have much to do with the Triwizard Tournament at all. Viktor knew that Harry would never bring it up, nor that Harry would ever tell him if he bothered to ask, so Viktor had taken it to watch Harry a little more closely than normal.
Not that Viktor minded. It was a nice change from having to covertly watch Harry, because Viktor knew that Harry knew. It wasn't much of a secret between them, despite the actual information being a secret.
Harry had begun inserting small amounts of his own magic into the golem, as was necessary, and within days the golem's eyes had already started fluttering open, its fingers starting to flex open and closed.
All in all, it was the freakiest thing Viktor had ever done that Viktor would never care to repeat. One Harry was more than enough. An extra golem-Harry who could cast more spells than Viktor probably could was something the world didn't need.
Maybe the world did need it, but Viktor definitely didn't, because having that smirk watch him almost all day every day was something he didn't want to experience again. Especially since Harry had somehow managed to give the golem some sort of intelligence, and it was the golem that was pointing out mistakes in his runework now.
Viktor would like to think that Harry was controlling the golem as well, but that was something that was extremely difficult. Most preferred to give the golem a separate intelligence as keeping an extra body connected to a single mind had driven several people insane trying to distinguish between the two bodies.
And Viktor didn't like the idea of Harry being left to do that, especially with his magical power and his supposed 'dark' tendencies.
Viktor supressed a shudder as he continued working.
