The Riddle Twins

Chapter 4

Hermione laughed and nodded. "I suppose I do have to, Ares."

"Shall we go in?" Athena nodded.

Ares cut his finger and smeared his blood on it allowing the wards to allow him and accepting him as the heir. The Gates swung open and the twins walked up the pathway to the doors. As they reached there the doors swung open and they were led to the entrance hall. To the right was an impressive staircase leading up as well as down. To the left there was a huge high ceiling ball room which had a solid ebony floor and marble columns rising up around the entire room and a set of stairs leading down to the main area, the walls were decked in a deep velvet blue and on the back wall and the middle of the floor was the Potter crest. There were large Victorian windows along the right wall and bright lamps scattered artistically allowing the room to be bright event though the colors were dark. The next room was a dining room, which also had ebony flooring but the walls were white. In the center, was a huge table which probably would fit about 20 people. The Potter crest hung on a sash behind the head seat and tall windows lined the walls.

Next, they headed down where the saw a Master Potions Lab enough for 20 people to practice at the same time. All the materials were in the cupboard along with the cauldrons.

They headed up again and they moved towards the lounge. The flooring was covered with a red rug, the tall windows were surrounded by drapes. There were two leather chairs, two black leather sofas, a loveseat, a low mango seat table in the center and the Potter crest was printed above the fireplace.

On the first floor was an open parlor which was decorated in lighter shades of blue, there was a smoky grey sofa and a leather chair surrounding a low set table, on the back wall was a fire place and in the double alcove there were two filled book cases. There was a dueling room opposite with lots of dummies and weapons hung on the wall.

And then they went to the library. The library stretched two entire floors and the books were placed according to the type of magic. Light, Grey or Dark. It was huge and they made a note to come there eventually. Then they went to the next floor where there was a stunning sun room which was decorated similar to the parlor except it had a liquor cabinet and two sets of patio doors which opened up to a balcony and there was an outer seating there. The rest of the floor was the guest rooms and a library. The next floor also had bedrooms. There was a study in each room and the bedrooms were grander than the guest rooms. The twins chose their rooms which were opposite to each other. The rooms were the size of the common room. Ares' room was decorated in blue, black and white. He had a large king-sized bed against the back wall, surrounded by bay windows, the flooring was ebony and covered with a rug. There was also a fireplace with the Potter crest on top of it.

There were empty book cases waiting for him to fill them, and a black leather chair with a matching sofa in front of the cases, he also had a desk and a chair made from ebony. There were two sets of double doors within the room, one led to a massive dressing room which was currently empty and the other was a stunning black and cream marble bathroom with blue accents with a pool like bath and a separate shower. He loved it.

Athena's room was also similar but the colors were green, silver and black. They put their trunks in the room and came out to the corridor.

"What should we do now?" Athena asked.

"I think we should tell Sirius first." Ares replied.

"Good idea." Athena nodded.

Suddenly out of nowhere an elf popped up, shocking them.

"Greetings Master, I is Kip, head elf." The elf said.

"Hello Kip, my name is Ares Riddle and this is my twin, Athena Riddle. We are the godchildren of James and Lily Potter." Ares greeted.
