Answers to reviews:
Tom is 6/7, Sy is 4/5, Gellert is 50/51 but he looks 20
Everyone hates Tom except Harry because Tom is different and different scares people so they can't accept him. Most humans are so narrow minded that they can't accept what they don't understand. They don't understand how Tom is so perfect and powerful so they fear him. Also they're jealous and jealously is a bitch.
Backstory: If you don't understand please read here. I will probably not do this again unless someone asks.
Okay, let me explain the whole Harry/Sy/Aiden thing again for those who didn't understand. Sorry if I wasn't very clear. Harry and Aiden Potter are identical twins. They are both technically Harry. Aiden is canon/ typical fanfic Harry who goes to the Dursleys and is severely abused by his Aunt, Uncle and cousin and cuts and is closed off and easily trusting. Allows himself to fall for Dumbledore's manipulating and gets drawn into the light side. Harry is accidentally sent back in time by Voldie and meets Tom and you know the rest from there.
Harry was hidden from the Wizarding world as a child because Lily and James didn't want Voldie knowing that there were two boys so if the worst situation occurred at least one of the boys had a chance at survival. Dumbledore knew there were two but when he saw only one boy in his crib he assumed the other to be dead and proclaimed Aiden as TBWL.
Harry was only one when he went back in time so he didn't know his name. He went the next three years nameless and abused/ running away until Tom names him and takes care of him. Harry grows to idolize Tom and- wait, I can't say more. Can't be giving too much away.
:) Hope this helps

Chapter 3
*One year later*
"Crucio!"
Gellert watched amused as his loyal follower Vivian Cladow squirmed on the cold floor. The blond pureblood had failed a mission, it was not really an important one but it still showed weakness in his ranks and that was the one thing the blond man did not accept.
"Enough Tom," Gellert's soft voice rang out.
The now seven year old boy glared at Vivian and held the spell for a couple more seconds before releasing it and looking up at his 'mommy'. Sy had been calling Gellert mommy ever since that first time and when Tom realized how much it bothered Gellert he started joining in as well.
The small boy put away his training wand and took his place on Gellert's lap next to Sy. The five year old boy still haven't uttered a word in English and wasn't likely to anytime soon. Tom didn't care as long as he understood the boy nothing else mattered to him.
Gellert was impressed how powerful Tom already was. The boy was a natural and quite skilled. The blond could only dream of what Tom could do with an actual wand once his magic cord fully developed.
Not to say Sy wasn't also remarkable. The boy was a very fast learner and picked things up easily. He could use non verbal magic at a level that Gellert had never seen before. He had much more potential than Tom had.
The boy was so docile though. Tom would torture for hours and still want more whereas Sy would turn away and run off to play with his porcelain dolls and eat cookie dough. The boy was not necessarily bothered by blood and screams, he just found it not very interesting and quite tiresome.
Gellert glared at the sniveling pathetic remains of a woman below him, "Well?"
"I-I'm terribly sorry m'lord. Please forgive me," She stuttered out, her voice whimpering. She got into a kneeling position on her hands and knees.
Sy looked up from brushing his precious glass doll and looked at the woman. He offered her a cute smile and waved. She hesitated before returning the smile and waved back shyly not sure if it was a trick or not.
Sy returned his attention to the beautiful doll in his hands. The doll had porcelain white skin that held no blemishes. It's hair was long and black much like Sy's was. In fact the doll looked like an exact replica of Sy, only smaller and less cute.
Once the woman returned to her place Gellert glared at his followers. "Everyone who is not in my inner circle is dismissed." He watched as the majority of his followers disappear in a swirl of wind.
Five men and two women remained kneeling at Gellerts feet.
Tom got up and lifted Sy up. Sy giggled and pecked Tom's nose as the older boy carried him out of the boring meeting.
:I want to play house with you: Sy hissed, his big green eyes leaving no room for argument.
Tom sighed and watched Sy run to his room, he reluctantly followed and watched as the small boy emerged from his closet in a fluffy pink dress.
:You be the daddy and I'll be the mommy.: Sy giggled and he stripped and dressed his small body in the princess dress.
"Sy, we need a child before we can be parents," Tom rubbed his forehead.
Sy pouted and crossed his arms, :Then we find a baby.:
"I don't think mommy will like the idea of us kidnapping a child," Tom pointed out as he watched Sy's cute face scrunch of deep in thought. A small pout on his full pink lips.
Sy suddenly grinned causing Tom to get a bad feeling. :I'm sure if we ask mommy he will get us one.:
"How about we just use one of your dolls to act as our baby," Tom offered.
Sy looked over at his many porcelain dolls. He placed the one in his hands on the bed carefully and selected a pretty blond doll with long braided hair and a pretty blue dress. Her eyes were a soft blue and her skin looked as white as paper.
Sy waved his hand over the delicate doll. Tom watched shocked as the doll stood and turned into a small little girl. She smiled up at Sy and bowed.
Sy giggled and lifted her into his arms. :What should we name her?:
Tom blinked his eyes trying to recover from shock. "How did you do that?"
Sy just gave him a smile and put his index finger over his lips, :Don't tell mommy. He doesn't know I use a doll to take my place during boring meetings.:
Tom just stared at the beautiful young boy as he giggled and began rocking the human and lifelike golem in his arms. She- It- seemed like any other human, like she had her own soul.
But she couldn't, no one was that powerful. Tom looked at his innocent little brother like figure and frowned.
How powerful was he?

The plague came out of nowhere. One day everything was normal and the sun was shining and the next hell struck and people fell ill out of nowhere.
All hope seemed to have been lost.
Gellert forced Tom and Sy to stay indoors and away from his followers. Unfortunately that wasn't enough to spare the two boy's from the dreaded disease.
Gellert frowned as he watched the two boys he had grown to care about lay shaking and painfully thin on their beds.
He already demanded his followers to find a cure but none have been founded or created as of yet.
It's already been half a year and Gellert wasn't sure how much more the boys could take. Half his followers have been subjected and his plans for making the wizarding world a better place are falling apart.
Dumbledore was gaining on him and he wasn't sure how much more spirit he still had to continue fighting.
He decided today that he would give his power to save his the boys if it meant sacrificing his own life. He doubted Dumbledore would kill him. They were lovers, well former lovers and he could never bring himself to cause harm to the man he loved.
He felt the wards on his safe haven break and quickly rushed to Sy's side and poured his power and life force into him.
His eyes widened as he felt a large group enter the house and quickly rushed to Tom's side and poured the remainder of his magic and life force into the seven year olds small body.
The door slammed open and a curse hit his back. Gellert's eyes widened as he was pulled away from his adopted son.
He met the eyes of his former lover and managed a small smile. "Hello love. Here to kill me?"
Albus Dumbledore gave him a small smile and held up his wand.
"You can kill me or do whatever you want, just please. Keep them safe."
Dumbledore looked over at the two sickly boys and back to Gellert. He raise his wand again and the last thing Gellert saw was a blue flash before he passed out.

Sy cried out when he awoke. His entire body hurt and he was so painfully hungry. Tom was next to him holding in tears as his own body shook in pain and hunger.
"You boys are safe now."
Tom looked up and met the eyes of the man who he had met at the orphanage. He gasped when he saw Gellert laying on the floor in chain by the older man's feet.
Tom tried to move but his weakened body prevented it.
Dumbledore noticed what caused the boy great distress and sent the boy a small smile. "He's fine, just unconscious." He sighed and waved his hand. Four other wizards entered the room and awaited Albus' orders. The man just smiled at the two boys, "don't worry. You're safe now."
Two of the men approached the boys and lifted them into their arms. Sy started screaming his head off as soon as they started to walk away. The man holding him accidently dropped the skinny child. Sy cried as he fell on his fragile leg and a loud CRACK sounded in the air.
"Careful!" Tom snapped, "he just wants his mommy! You're strangers." Even in his weakened state the boy sounded quite scary.
"Whose his mommy?" Dumbledore asked confused.
Tom just pointed at Gellert and waited for the man to realize what he meant.
Dumbledore gave what looked like a sad smile and whispered something quietly. Sy managed to pick up what the man said and immediately quieted. Tom sent him a confused look but quieted down as well.
After Tom and Sy were put in the hospital ward in some place called Hogwarts Sy was able to think about what the old one said. A tear tracing down his cheek.
"Gellert always wanted children but after that one miscarriage he never tried again. And now he doesn't get to watch them grow up again. I'm sorry my love."
Sy frowned. What did the old guy mean. Did he love his mommy?
Why would you hurt someone you loved?
Sy sighed. Grownups were so confusing.

Tom glared at everyone. He hated them all. They took away the one person who ever cared for him and locked him away.
And now they wanted to separate him from Sy.
Tom wrapped his arms around the smaller boy tightly and scowled at them as they attempted to manipulate his young mind.
"He will be so much happier and safer with a family. Don't you want him to be happy and enjoy his remaining childhood." Dumbledore asked.
Tom tightened his grip on Sy. The smaller boy clutched onto Tom's robes tightly.
Dumbledore sighed and gave in. It wouldn't do to have two powerful boys hate him now would it. "I suppose you both can stay for now. Maybe get a start on your education."
Tom sighed, he didn't dare tell the man that they already started on their education and just nodded.
"The school term begins in a week. You can stay in my special rooms until then. I'll put you in first years classes but don't be disappointed when you can't keep up." The man behind Dumbledore, the Headmaster Armando Dippet, said. A big friendly smile on his face.
Tom nodded his thanks. Sy tugged on Tom and pouted.
Tom sighed, "Sy is wondering if you will buy him another doll since you left his last ones at Mommy's house."
Dippet smiled, "Of course. Any doll he wants."
"He likes glass porcelain dolls." Tom said. Sy grinned at the two older men and nodded. "And make sure to buy him a lot of clothes for them. He likes princess dresses."
Dumbledore frowned, "isn't that a bit girly?"
Sy pouted and buried his head in Tom's chest. Tom scowled and wrapped his arms around Sy. "just get him what he wants. We'll be in the kitchen."
At that Tom stood and grabbed Sy's small hand. He offered the boy a small smile, "let's get you some cookie dough, okay?"
Sy gave him a small nod and followed the older boy out of the room.
Tom unconsciously tightened his grip on the smaller boy and smiled at him Sy smiled back and allowed the boy he loved to pull him away.

"Okay class, open to page ten in your textbooks and read the section on unicorn horn uses." Professor Slughorn said grinning. He seemed like a pretty laid back character. That annoyed Sy greatly but Tom seemed to enjoy the man's lessons.
"Are we using unicorn horn today?" One of the Hufflepuff witches asked. Tom and Sy were placed in all first years classes. Many of the other kids would just stare at them awkwardly and some even went as far as to tell them that this was NOT Kindergarden.
Sy never spoke and Tom would normally just ignore them or scare them with one word answers that seemed to mature for his age.
"Mr. Lucifer, can you please put away your doll and focus on the assignment."
Sy glared at him and blatantly ignored the order. He took up the last name 'Lucifer' since he didn't have one. He couldn't go with 'Riddle' because then he would never be able to marry the boy he idolized since they would be brothers. 'Grindelwald' was definitely out of the picture since that would be to obvious.
Tom gave him the last name as well. He said he wished to give Sy a dark name and what was better than the devils name himself.
So Sy enrolled in Hogwarts as Syren Shadow Lucifer. Shadow being Sy's contribute to his name. He said it sounded scary and really, Tom didn't have the heart to tell him no.
Sy had noticed Tom's hesitation to his middle name and pointed out that is was scarier than Marvolo. Tom just rolled his eyes at that and stopped arguing knowing full well all attempts would be futile.
What really annoyed all the teachers and other students was not Sy and Tom not really paying attention in class or never studying but the fact that both boys ace all the classes they take and make it seem effortless. It wasn't fair.
"I want candy," Tom decided once he finished rereading the chapter three times while all the other students still haven't finished the passage.
Sy made a desperate gesture and attracted everyone's attention. He signed something in sign language. Tom nodded, "You want candy too? I suppose so."
Tom reached into his pocket and took out two big lollipops. He tossed one over to Sy to caught it with ease. The smaller body opened the cover and happily enjoyed the treat his precious love gave him.
Slughorn groaned. He wanted the boys out of his class, they were cute but deceitful. They needed more of a challenge to keep them interested and busy. RIght now they were just wasting their time.
"You two, go over there and color or something. Stop interrupting my class." Slughorn commanded.
Sy scowled not liking to be told what to do. He raised his magic and pinned the teacher to the wall. He jumped out of his seat and crossed his small arms growling a simple word so softly that if the entire class wasn't deadly silent no one would have heard it.
"No." He said with venom. His eyes were cold and his angelic voice made the room freeze.
Tom lifted Sy into his arms and immediately the boy calmed down and clutched the older boy. He just giggled like he didn't almost scare everyone to death and grabbed his porcelain doll and cradled her in his arms like a baby. He allowed Tom to carry him to the door.
"Let's get you some cookie dough, okay?" Tom rubbed Sy's head and kissed his forehead. Sy smiled and nodded and wrapped his arms around the seven year old boy so he could still play with his doll.
Slughorn just stared in shock at the two retreating forms. He managed to sputter out, "Class dismissed," before fainting.

"Mommy says we shouldn't use our power because it makes us different." Tom scolded the small boy in the countertop next to him. Sy had a spoon in one hand and a container full of cookie dough in the other.
:Sorry,: Sy pouted feeling guilty about defying his mommy.
Tom just smiled and took another spoon that a house elf had left for him and took a spoonful of cookie dough. Sy smiled and the two clashed their spoons together in cheers and took a bite together.
Sy giggled and hugged Tom and all was forgiven.
"I love you Sy, never forget. Okay? Mommy loved you too." Tom whispered.
Syren just smiled and took Tom's hand in his own. :I love you too.:
Tom smiled at that.
Sy leaned closer to Tom. :People who love each other are supposed to kiss. A kiss is a vow to love the other person.:
Tom gave him a confused look. "Where did you hear that?"
:I made it up, okay!: Sy hissed pouting.
Tom just laughed at that and leaned forward. He met Sy's small pink lips for a second before pulling away. Both boys blushed a bright red and looked down. Neither could stop grinning.
The kiss was innocent and chaste. Cute at best.
But to the boys, it was a promise and a commitment neither boy planned to break.
If only they knew what was coming next.
