Meeting the brothers

" Why hello there baby sis." Two synchronized voices spoke behind the two first years. The two slowly turned to the twins with different emotions. Tom with confusion and Maria with horror. Two males in Slytherin robes stood side by side both sharing the same smug smirk and twinkling eyes full of a dark curiosity. They were both 6'2 with tousled black hair and baby blue eyes but we're the kind of color that changed in different lights and seasons. Their eye shape and noses were nearly identical to Maria but they had angled jaws and were a shade lighter. They were lean but more on the muscular side showing the two did some type of sport. They had their arms crossed and were now giving Tom a dark look accompanied with a smirk.

" Hey Orion, Apollo, what are you two doing here?" Maria questioned nervously as the smirks on the twin's faces grew. They moved closer and stood on either side of Maria as they gave Tom a strained and dark smile.

" Oh nothing we wanted to see," Orion started, " who this infamous Tom Riddle was that you have been mentioning oh so much." Apollo ended as both stared Tom down. It was obvious they were going into overprotective big brother mode and Tom had to make sure this ended in his favor.

" Hello, a pleasure to meet you both. Maria has told me so much about you two I'm happy to finally meet you both." Tom politely said with a small smile. The two began to look him over as if to see if he wasn't good enough for something. They scowled and nodded then turned Maria to face them.

" You are way past your bedtime little sis, come on let's get you to bed," Apollo said with a smile, Maria tried to protest but Orion had already picked her up and swung her over his shoulder.

" Dear lord women, how much do you weigh." Orion joked even though it was clear that he wasn't struggling at all.

" * sigh* okay good night Tom, see you tomorrow," Maria called to him as she was being carried away. Apollo lingered, he began to gather Maria's stuff and take them with him, giving Tom a warning glare then leaving. Tom sighed and rubbed his face in exhaustion, ' I guess I will have to look out for the twins, can't let them keep Maria away from me now can I ' Tom thought sinisterly to himself as a dark and twisted smile stretched into his lips.

"That kid, when did you meet him, baby sis?" Apollo asked the younger rowen.

" Oh I met him last time we went to Diagon Ally," Maria replied, the twins shared a look.

" Interesting, welp here's your stop baby sis. " Orion stated as he let go of Maria, she fell on her butt with a yelp and looked up to yell at the twins but they had already disappeared. She sighed and got up, entering the Gryffindor commons and to her bed.

" I don't like that kid," Apollo stated with a frown as they made their way to Slytherin dorms. Orion nodded in agreement.

" There's just something about him that puts me off," Orion said in return as he and Apollo entered the commons. Apollo nudged him when they entered and Orion looked to see why.

There sat Tom on a plush green chair, hands clasped at the front with one leg over the other, reclined back lazily with a dark smirk playing on his lips and evil intent dancing in his chocolate eyes.

The twins exchanged a look then moved their eyes to the evil first year.

" Why hello Apollo, Orion," Tom said smoothly as the twins shifted uneasily.

" Hello riddle," Apollo started, " What do you want?" Orion finished. Tom rose and took long strides towards them, a dark aura surrounding him.

" Oh nothing, just to say that Maria and I are good friends," Tom said but the duo knew what he was implying. That there was nothing they could do to get Maria away from him. Before they could say anything, Tom said goodnight and swished away with a whoosh of his cloak.

" So what's the plan?" Apollo asked his twin, Orion shook his head.

" We can't do anything now, all we can do is wait until he actually does something wrong," Orion answered his twin, the two stared at the way Tom left with a shared thought.

' Won't this be interesting,'
