Dear Reader,

If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but there lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and the one you are about to read may be the worst of them all.

If you haven't got a stomach for a story that includes a Dark Lord, chocolate frogs, a boy named Harry Potter, a horrible villain, and a dark forest, then this fan fiction will probably fill you with despair. I will continue to write this tragic fan fiction, for that is what I do. You, however should decide for yourself whether you can possible endure this miserable fan fiction.

With all do respect,

Amelia

In otherwards, considerthis a warning

Chapter 1

Into the woods

If you are interested in stories with happy little ponies and birds flying around then I suggest you stop reading this fan fiction right now and go and read something else like those slash stories you kids enjoy. In this fan fiction nor is there no happy beginning but there is no happy ending. This is because not very happy things happen to the Baudelaire orphans. There journey starts when the three Baudelaire are in the car with Mr. Poe, one dreadful morning.

"What is the name of our new guardian?" asked Violet

"Well I can't really pronounce it… hmmm it starts with a V… voooolduuumee? I don't know but I guess we will find out when we meet him." replied Mr. Poe

Violet the eldest of the Baudelaires, love to invent, and anyone who knew Violet could tell that she was thinking hard, because her long hair was tied up in a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes. Violet had a real knack for inventing and building strange devices, so her brain was often filled with images of all sorts of weird and strange gadgets and gizmos and she never wanted to be distracted by something as trivial as her hair.

"Well do you know where he lives?" asked Klaus with much hope for a better answer

"He lives up into the woods…er…I have the address here somewhere, hold on." Replied Mr. Poe

Klaus, the middle child loved books. When the Baudelaire parents were still alive, they had an enormous library full of books containing every subject known to man kind. Even though he is only twelve years old, Klaus wore glasses making him look older and intelligent. In fact he was intelligent.

"Gacku!" shrieked Sunny which probably meant "Look at that strange forest ahead of us!"

Sunny the youngest of the three Baudelaires, loved to bite things. She was an infant and like most infants she only spoke in unintelligible shrieks. For instants not to long ago little Sunny was shrieking "yodu" which probably meant I hope our next guardian is as nice as Uncle Monty was.

By now, all three of the Baudelaires were looking out there window, for right in front of them was not just a forest, but a very dark forest which led the children to believe that there next guardian was going to be just as bad as Count Olaf.

"I don't like the look of that forest." said Klaus

"Oh don't worry about that children." exclaimed Mr. Poe "Your new guardian likes to live in the dark. He says it makes him feel more younger and alive."

"How can living in the dark make him feel so young?" asked Violet

"Well…" replied Mr. Poe "I really don't know the answer to that question I guess its just one of those thing you cant really explain."

But before any of the Baudelaires could ask another question something there way was coming into view. A dark mansion like house was right in front of them.

"Ahh here we are children!" exclaimed Mr. Poe

All three of the children looked out the window. The house was big and dark and like most dark houses this one seemed really unwelcoming and unpleasant. They were nervous and I wouldn't blame them either. Wouldn't you be nervous if you were going to live in a dark house for the rest of your life? I thought so. Anyways back to the story. Now… where was I? Ah! Yes now I remember. As the children got there luggage they, very slowly and very cautiously headed up the steps towards there new home and lived happily ever after…

Sorry those are the words I want to write but then there would be no story for me to write. As they headed up towards the front of the door the children looked around. There was nothing alive just piles of dirt. Not a single flower in sight. But if you though that was weird wait till I tell you about the front door. It was completely black except for the knocker. It was a silver skull with a snake on it. As the children were going to go and knock on the door, it opened automatically and there stood a tall dark figure with red gleaming eyes.

"Hello." said Violet "My name is Violet, and this is my brother Klaus and my little sister Sunny"

The Dark figure step forward some more into the light so that the children could see his face. They stepped back afraid as he did so.

"Hello children, my name is Lord Voldemort but you may call me Uncle Voldy."
