The Joker Rising

The Power They Wield

Hadrian and Marcus sat down in the same spot surrounded by Slytherins of thier house. Hadrian had not even touched the food in front of him when he saw someone sit in front of him. Hadrian looked up to see Damien, once again, like always, seated in front of him.

"I need to talk to you." Damien said with a serious look on his face.

"When do you ever not need to talk to me?" Hadrian said while helping himself to some pancakes.

"Harry, what happened yesterday...you can't go around treating people like that! You can't call others such disgusting names and you sure as hell can't hurt others like you hurt Ron and your twin." Damien said the last part as quietly as he could.

Hadrian and Marcus just blinked at Damien.

"And you think just because you're telling me this I'm going to listen?" Hadrian gritted his teeth as he leaned closer to Damien while the surrounding air turned cold.

"The Great Albus Dumbledore wants us to train them. That is all he did." Marcus stated with his ever present smirk.

"Just because you're a spoiled little brat who gets whatever the hell he wants from his no good parents, doesn't mean that you can tell me what I can and cannot do! I am the Joker in case you forgot" Hadrian hissed at Damien.

Damien looked utterly shocked at Hadrian's words. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down before speaking to his elder brother.

"Harry, first of all I am not some spoiled kid who gets everything I want that's your twin, second, if you ever call our parents that again I will show you just how much damage I can do."

Hadrian could barely control the laughter that came at these words. The whole time the Slytherins watched the young Gryffindor with bated breath.

"Do you even think before you speak? You really think you can threaten me? Listen here, I've hurt more, killed more people than you've met in your life. I don't know what you've been told about me that is not in the News, but it obviously isn't the truth since you don't seem to realise how much pain I can cause. If anything, the only emotion you should feel for me is fear." Hadrian finished.

"Well, I don't fear you, not in the slightest. I idolize you Harry. And I know that I should be afraid of you, especially after last night but I'm not. As for what I should feel towards you, Harry whether you like it or not you're my brother and I can't hate my own blood. No matter what you say or do."

With that said Damien got up to face a rather shocked looking Hadrian. "By the way, they have not mentioned last night's incident to anyone, and you shouldn't either." Hadrian was brought out of his shock at this.

"Why?" Hadrian asked

"Well, it would only cause problems. Not only for you but for Michael and Ron as well as they attacked you when you didn't have a wand to protect yourself. "

Damien made his way out of the Great Hall and left a very confused Hadrian behind.

The next few days passed by rather uneventfully. Hadrian was surprised to see that Damien had gone back to himself again and had constantly bothered either one with anything.

The Slytherins all knew to not bug the two. However, the rest of the Gryffndor and the other houses were taking a lot of interest in Hadrian and Marcus.

It seemed the entire teenage girl population wanted to talk to the messy haired, green eyed, gorgeous and mysterious boy. Or his equally mysterious, Dark brown haired, blue eyed boy. They ignored them as much as possible. Most girls didn't even speak to either of them, they just stared at them and giggled behind their hands. 'Stupid Girls' Marcus muttered and sent to Hadrian who snorted in amusement.
