Chapter 2

"Uncle Voldy"

You may be familiar with the phrase "Don't judge a book by its cover", and if you are not then please take this time to learn something new. "Don't judge a book by its cover", means that even though things might look ugly and destroyed on the outside, the inside maybe filled with joyful and happy stories that you enjoy. As for the Baudelaires, Uncle Voldy was that torn and shredded book and to there surprise he was filled with happiness.

"Please don't be frightened children come in." said Voldemort in an extremely welcoming voice.

They collected there bags and walked in the front door. Mr. Poe, however did not.

"Mr. Poe, will you kindly enjoy us for tea in the parlor? I've made my famous and delicious chocolate chip cookies!" exclaimed Voldemort

"No thank you, I actually have to get back to the bank now. I have a lot of work that needs to be finished. Children, if you have any questions you can call me at the bank."

And with that said Mr. Poe hurry back to his car and drove off.

"Well." said Voldemort to break the silence. "Shall I show you to your rooms?"

The three of them nodded in silenced and followed there new guardian throughout the darkened house. The interior of the house isn't as bad as the exterior just the same. But what the children did notice was that he had a lot of pictures of snakes, some of them were skulls, but most of them were snakes. This reminded them of Uncle Monty, there last guardian who was killed by non other than Count Olaf. This upset the Baldelaires even more and they did not speak a word as they were heading up the stairs to there new rooms but Voldemort decided to break that silence.

"Now, Mr. Poe has given me a lot of information about you so I decorated your rooms by what you like and enjoy!" said Voldemort

The children looked at each other with very bemused looks on there faces, but when they got to Violets room, they soon understood what he meant.

"Violet, this is your room."

He opened the door and Violet stood there in shock. For on one side of her room was her bed, dresser, bathroom, and closet which was quite lovely if you asked me. But on the other side of the room was an inventors dream. Tools of all sorts and kinds, a table for her to build on, shelves of different kinds of material and more! Violet had to tie her hair up in order to absorb all this in.

"Is this room alright for you?" asked Voldemort

"It's absolutely lovely!" exclaimed Violet in a somewhat dreamy voice

"I am glad to here that." replied Voldemort

Then he walk to the opposite end of Violets room and opened up another door.

"Now, Klaus, I wasn't sure what books you have or haven't read yet so I brought up some books from my library that you might enjoy reading." said Voldemort as he was showing Klaus his room.

Klaus was just as astonished as Violet was. On one side of the room was an elegant bed with a matching closet and bathroom on the first half, on the second half was a library fit for a king. An expression which here means so large that he probably needed his own card catalog to find what he was looking for!

"Will you be fine in this room?" asked Voldemort

"Yes it's perfect!" exclaimed Klaus in a dazed tone

Then he walk down the hall a little ways and opened up another door. As you probably guessed by now, this was Sunny's room.

"And now don't think I would forget about little Sunny." said Voldemort

Sunny left her siblings in wonder and crawled to her room. Her expression was just the same as her older siblings. For on one side of her room was a crib made of metal which was good for chewing on yet it looked really comfortable to sleep in. and on the other side was a toy chest filled with all sorts of different things to chew on. Whether it be wood, metal, plastic, or rubber, Sunny had all sorts of things to pick and bit on.

"Wow!" exclaimed Sunny

"I am so glad you children enjoy your rooms, now I have to go and prepare dinner now. But before I go I would like to point out that there is an intercom on your bedside tables. Now an intercom is…"

"We know what an intercom is." interrupted Klaus

"Ok that's good so I don't have to explain it to you. But before I go I would like to tell you that since tonight is a special night, I will be preparing lobster for dinner." Announced Voldemort

"Oh that sounds wonderful! Would you like us to help you in the kitchen?" asked Violet

"Oh no that quite alright, you should be getting settled in while I prepare dinner."

And with that said he walked down the hall and into the darkness. The children absolutely loved there rooms! After each of them were done un-packing Violet went to go and examine all the tools Uncle Voldy had given her. After Klaus was done, he immediately went to his new library and look at his books. One which really fascinated him was Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. And Sunny, well she found a wooden bat and started to gnaw on it. They were all in there own dream world until…

BEEP Its time for dinner children, if you don't know where the dinning room is just go to the front door and make a left. It's the first door to the right.BEEP

Violet went to go get Sunny and waited for Klaus to come out of his room. It took him a while because he had just begun to read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

"So, what do you think of Uncle Voldy?" asked Violet

"He seems like a pretty nice guardian…but in a weird way." replied Klaus

"Eduni!" exclaimed Sunny which probably meant 'I like him no matter how creepy he is!'

"Sunny is right. Lets head down to dinner." said Violet

And the three Baudelaire children headed down the stairs to a dinner they will never forget.
