Here is the next chapter! It turned out a bit different than I have first planed. I have yet to figure out how I will deal with this but somehow I will.

Enjoy! And I don't own anything!

"You know about horocruxes?" Harry asked in a tight voice. Sandro still made him very uncomfortable. A skeleton should not be able to walk around like a living being. Paskovich had explained that liches trapped their mind and souls inside their dead bodies, because the bodies were dead they still rotted and after about a century only the bones remained.

Harry still shuddered at the thought on the liches Paskovich showed him that only were about fifty years or so. Their rotting bodies had left Harry with a mental scar.

"Yes", Sandro answered him. He didn't turn to face Harry. He just kept adding ingredients in his cauldron. Harry swallowed hard and took another step into Sandro's lab.

"Will you tell me how to summon and destroy them?" After much searching inside the library of the dead Harry had realized that horocruxes was not a knowledge that they seemed worthy of preserving. Only the oldest of the creatures seemed to even remember their existence. Sandro however was one of the inventors of the horocruxes, the only "living" inventor and Harrys best chance of learning how to defeat Voldemort.

The first troops had already left for the war and Harry realized that there was not much for him to do so he drowned himself in research and now he was here. He hoped that Sandro would help him. The lich turned to him, in a slow unsettling way.

"Hmm what would you give me for such information?" Sandro asked in his raspy voice. Harrys stomach dropped. What could he offer a millennium old lich, a creature that had several lifetimes to gather information and secrets? Harry bit his lip and tried to think of something.

"I.. I have an invisibility cloak", he finally said. It was the only thing he could think of that would interest the lich.

"No", Sandro snapped and returned to his cauldron. Harry clutched his fist, desperately trying to come up with something.

"Young one, have you ever been in love?" Sandros question snapped Harry out of his thoughts. The question made Harry dread the reason behind it.

"No", he answered carefully and took a step back. Sandro turned to Harry, his magic seemed to vibrate with excitement.

"Are you a virgin to?" Harry nodded, not really seeing were this was going. He could not imagine liches getting romantic or physical with one another.

"Then you have something very rare and precious that I want", Sandros magic was wiping abound him and Harry could not help but shake. He was terrified, did Sandro want his virginity?! Sandro came up to him and placed his skeleton hand on Harry's heart.

"YES!" Sandro hissed. You could practically see him bouncing in excitement. Harry quickly moved away from him, the hell with horocruxes. He would figure something out. Sandro looked at him, his magic trapping Harry.

"I will tell you what you need to know, if I can have your heart", he said with badly concealed excitement. Harrys eyes widened, not what he was expecting but he wasn't sure this was any better.

"My heart?"

"Yes, that beautiful, pure heart of yours", Sandro purred looking like he wanted to rip it out right this second.

"But I'll die", Harry stated. This was unbelievable, after coming to the realm to find a way to survive he was still domed to die. Harry had to bit back the tears.

"Yes, but being dead is not all that bad", Sandro tried to console. He had a feeling he was losing this treasure. Harry shook his head.

"No! I want to live! That's why I came here! To live!" Harry shouted, frustrated that he could never truly live. Suddenly he felt a longing back to the Endless Forest. His year there had been the best year of his life, careless and worriless.

Sandro felt frustration too, this boy was so young and naïve. Which was one of the reasons his heart was so perfect but right now it was not for Sandros benefit.

"You could become a lich, then you can still enjoy the benefits of life without the needing for any of its disadvantages", Sandro tied and stepped closer. Harry instantly backed away and looked toward the door.

"Like what? Eating? Sleeping? Loving?" Harry growled. Sandro gnashed his teeth.

"Yes but will you miss any of that?" He asked reaching for his price.

"YES!" Harry yelled and ran out of laboratory. Sandros magic lashed out in frustration and the walls cracked. This was not over, he wanted his price.

Harry sat on top of one of the cities towers, thinking. What was he going to do, the pictures of half turned liches burned in his mind, no that was not living. The liches here were different from him, most of them crazy as well. No it wasn't for him. How was he supposed to do this?

So now I will figure out how to solve this, at first I had planned to make Harry agree but... naah ^^
Next up! Will Harry figure out how to live without a heart?
