Hey Everyone, to those who follow my profile I know I have not been active for a few months but I have just finished up important exams and hopefully will be starting to upload again. I wanted to start with a new story in fandoms that I have never done before. I had a look on and found very little (about 13) stories for harry potter and a series of unfortunate events crossover fanfiction. When starting this story, I did run into a conundrum. I have only watched the movie and TV show for ASOUE but I have read and watched all the Harry Potter books and movies. I have heard that the writing style of ASOUE is important to its 'charm' and that it somewhat comes across in the show. As I Haven't actually read the books I will see what I can do to replicate the style but I will try not to force it as to those who have read the books it may seem off. Sorry for running on for so long. Story starts just after 'The Austere Academy' and during the summer before Harry's third year, I know that the months and time lines don't really add up but it's a fanfiction just flow with it.

The Baudelaires looked out the back window of Mr Poe's car as they drove away from Austere academy. Though they wouldn't miss the place itself they would miss their friends the Quagmires who they narrowly managed to save from being kidnapped by count Olaf. The Quagmires were giving them a slow sad wave, most likely because they too would miss their friends. Mr Poe was rattling on about some nonsense about how he couldn't believe he would have to find a place for them again.

"children" Mr Poe stated to grasp their attention "though I was sceptical about this other school it's the only place left for you to go"

Sunny made a series of unrecognizable sounds that to the average ears would be incomprehensible, but to Violet and Klaus would mean "it can't be worse than Austere" though they decided not to translate

Mr Poe continuing as if nothing had been said, explained "the letter was delivered in a owl which though is mighty odd they claimed to be a school for witchcraft and wizardry"

Klaus interrupted him with "you mean like magicians?"

"I would suppose so, though if that were the case then why the difference between witchcraft, and wizardry. It doesn't matter though I'm sure you will find out when you get there" Mr Poe said to answer Klaus' question

Sunny made another comment going along the lines of "glad to see you have looked into where we are going" with the other Baudelaire children nodding their heads in agreement

"it's in northern Scotland so you won't have to worry about any count Olals appearing" Mr Poe stated reassuringly. Though the Baudelaires hoped he was right, they would later find out how sorely mistaken Mr Poe was.

The plane journey to London was long and tiring for the Baudelaires as they constantly watched out for Count Olaf as both of them knew how much harm Count Olaf could bring to them so high up in the air. They Did manage to get some sleep though and they landed safely with no signs of any Counts. As the Baudelaires have very little luggage and Mr Poe was Flying back after he had dropped off the children, they got through the airport very quickly. They took a taxi to the leaky cauldron while Mr Poe explained that he was told they could get their school supplies in a 'Diagon Alley' and that they could stay in a pub called the 'Leaky Cauldron'. Mr Poe rented them rooms for the rest of the summer and he gave them an appropriate amount of money for school supplies before leaving them to their devices. Finally they sat down in Violet and Sunny's room exhausted but having a feeling of relative safety, a feeling that would not last.

Soon it reached 6 in the evening so they ventured down to the pub to get some dinner, most of the tables had oddly dressed people at them except for one that had boy that was dressed in 'normal' cloths, though they were far too big, his hair was ruff and untamed with his green eye's barley visible as he stared down at the table reading a book. The Baudelaires looked at each other, then by look alone approached the table.

"I hope you don't mind if we sit down, all the other tables are full" violet asked the boy

"oh, yeah of course" he responded

"I'm Violet, this is my brother Klaus and my sister Sunny" Violet politely introduced

"my names harry, are you guys staying here?" Harry asked as he put his book down and gave his full attention to the children

"we are staying here till we go to Hogwarts" violet answered

"ah great, we will see a lot of each other then, I go to Hogwarts as well" harry said like it's the most obvious thing for him to do

"great, we were wondering what it meant by 'witchcraft and wizardry" violet asked while Klaus looked at the menu

"you mean you don't know?" harry asked

"know what?" violet countered

"it's a school for magic" harry answered

"like magicians?" Klaus questioned while sunny stayed uncharacteristically quiet

"no no, like I don't know, Gandalf magic" Harry said doing his best to get them to understand

"but magic is not real" Klaus said

"ok" harry said looking around "look over there" he said while pointing at some pans and then at another table "those pans are cleaning themselves using a spell, and look over there, he just transfigured that glass into a chair"

The Baudelaires took another look around and saw that they were surrounded by magic, dazed, they didn't hear harry continue to explain but he thankfully noticed and said, "most people start when their 11 so chances are you will need to catch up a bit, I can help but there isn't much I can do since you can't actually use your wand outside of school"

Violet inquisitively asked "how do they know?"

"not entirely sure but apparently there is a tracer or something on the wand, my friend cast a few spells before starting and never got in trouble so we could go to the book store and see if we can find a loop hole" Harry responded

At the thought of reading Klaus seemed to perk up and then asked "what were you reading?"

"just a book on duelling, there was a club last year, though taught by a fraud of a teacher I was interested and since I'm here for another month before school starts, I thought I would have a look" harry explained

The Baudelaires continued to ask many questions surrounding Hogwarts and about harry in general with harry countering asking about them. both parties loosely touched upon their experiences with their respective madmen instead just enjoying the growing friendship between them.

Hey everyone, thanks for reading this. I would love to hear your thoughts on the chapter.
