Chapter One:

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny continued to walk and walk and walk. They had walked for the longest time they could remember, and they were growing even more tired by the minute. Eventually Klaus said, "Violet, can we stop soon? We've been walking for nearly a day."

"I know," Violet said. Her legs, which were sore from all the walking, agreed with Klaus. "We just have to find a place to stop."

"Wimag," Sunny said, which meant something like, "I wish we had magic."

"I do too," Violet said. "Then we could just magically put ourselves in the place we want to be."

"Yeah, but magic isn't real," Klaus pointed out. But before anyone could say anymore, they heard voices arguing down the street. There were three kids in black robes in front of them.

"I can't believe we did that!" shouted a girl, whose name was Hermione Granger. "We're not supposed to use magic outside of school!"

"Oh, get a grip, Hermione," said a red haired boy named Ron Weasley.

"We might be expelled!" Hermione protested.

"Will you both shut up?" said a second boy who was none other than Harry Potter. "You're going to draw attention to yourselves!" Hermione looked past him.

"We already have," she said. The three turned to see the three Baudelaire children staring in confusion. "Do you think they saw us Apparate?"

"I don't know," replied Harry. "Um… hello," he said uncertainly to the three children.

"Hi," said Violet, who seemed just as uncertain. "Uh, do you think you could tell us where we are? We're kind of lost."

"Well, we're actually not from here," Hermione began," and- Look out!" The Baudelaires whirled around to see a hook handed man swipe at them.

Suddenly they heard Harry shout, "Petrificus Totalus!" The hook handed man buckled forward and hit the ground, knocking him unconscious. Violet stared at the hook handed man for a long time before turning slowly to Harry.

"What did you do?" she asked.

"I- I…," Harry stuttered. But when he looked at the three children, for some reason, he found it hard to lie. So he told the truth. "I hit him with a spell."

"A spell?" Klaus asked in disbelief. Harry, Hermione, and Ron looked older than him and his sisters.

"Pietrisycamollaviadelrechiotemexity," said Sunny, which meant something along the lines of, "I must admit I don't have the faintest idea of what is going on."
