Chapter 3
Dinner Time!
As they walked into the dinning room they noticed that it was lighted more than all the other rooms of the house. They also noticed that Uncle Voldy was wearing a very odd apron that said "Kiss the Cook". They tried not to laugh as they made there way to there seats waiting for dinner.
"And now dinner is served." said Voldemort in a very French tone.
He lifted the silver domes off the plates and with it came steam. There in front of the three Baudelaires was a deliciously prepared lobster dinner with golden biscuits on the side.
"Wow Uncle Voldy! This looks so delicious". said Violet digging into her meal
"It is delicious." said Klaus in a corrective tone, he had already started on his meal
"Yum!" shrieked Sunny as she was gnawing off one of the lobster legs.
It was probably one of the best meals they had, had since… well since ever! The lobster was cooked to perfection, the biscuits were baked with love, and the water was oh so pure with just a hint of lemon in it. I am probably making you very hungry now by describing all this delicious food to you. Well my advice to you then is to run off, grab a snack and come back to read what happens next.
Even though the Baudelairs were somewhat full from dinner, they were wondering what Uncle Voldy had made for dessert.
"Now for dessert I didn't make anything simply because I have this very large assortment of candy and I was wondering if you would like to help me eat it?" asked Uncle Voldy
"Of course! We would love to, but not too much though, I'm afraid your scrumptious dinner has filled us up." said Violet
Suddenly, a large belch came from Sunny followed by laughter. This probably meant that Sunny was agreeing to what Violet had just said.
"Ok kids here is your dessert!" exclaimed
He placed a basket with all sorts of assortments of candy right in front of them. The Baudelaires had never seen such candies before. There were Chocolate Frogs, Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, Fizzing Whizbees, Acid Pops, Jelly Slugs, Treacle Fudge… I could go on forever but I've got a story to tell. They didn't know what to eat first! Violet went for the Chocolate Frogs, Klaus went for Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, and Sunny went for the Treacle Fudge.
But little did Violet know that Chocolate frogs came to life when you first opened them they come to life. And when she did, she screamed.
"What's wrong Violet?" asked Voldemort in a fatherly tone
"There is a real Frog in there!" Violet exclaimed as she was pointing towards the Chocolate Frog that was hopping along the table
"They are not real frogs, just Chocolate frogs. Someone put a… I mean someone invented a way to make them move when you first open them and still have them taste the same." said Voldemort
"Oh well that's a relief I must say." said Violet picking up the Chocolate Frog and biting the head off of it.
But then Voldemort soon turned to Klaus. It was obvious that he had eaten a really bad flavored bean.
"Yuck! I don't know if it was me, but that jelly bean tasted like sardines!." exclaimed Klaus with a very sour look on his face
"They are Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, and the mean every flavor." said Voldemort
"How can some one make jelly beans with every single flavor possible?" asked Klaus
"Well, I believe there is a book on Bertie Bott up stairs in your library Klaus if you are interested in reading about it." replied Voldemort
"Thanks, I will look into it." said Klaus carefully picking out a jelly bean and making sure it wasn't a bad flavor.
Sunny, on the other hand, was enjoying her desert marvelously. She was biting at it with all her might, but soon gave up when she realized that it was too much for her four sharp teeth.
"Children, before I head off I have an announcement." announced Voldemort
The Bauldelaires stop what they where doing and focused all of there attention to Voldemort.
"Due to my eventful schedule, I have hired a nanny to look after you. She is from France and knows how to speak English, but not very well. She will be here in two days." said Voldemort
"Oh what is her name?" asked Violet
"Her name is Gigi." replied Voldemort
"Uncle Voldy, you never told us what you do for a living, what is it?" asked Klaus trying to change the subject
"Well, I am a…" started Voldemort but then he stopped him self to think. He looked around and finally he came up with a profession that won't fool them.
"I am a biology and chemistry teacher at…" he stop himself again only to realize he need a school name… only one came to mind.
"…at Hogwarts High." Voldemort said making it sound realistic
"Really? that's very interesting." said Violet
"Yes infact I have photos to share, would you like to see them?" asked Voldemort
"Plemo!" shrieked Sunny which probably meant "We would love to see your photos!"
Voldemort left the dinning area to get his photo album. But as he was coming back from his room, he realized that the photos were moving. He took out his wand and muttered a spell that turned the moving photos into original non moving photos.
"Here they are." Voldemort said as he handed the leather bound book to Violet
When the Children were looking at the pictures they couldn't believe all the things that he did in his childhood.
"Wow Uncle Voldy! You were an ice skating champion?" asked Violet in awe
"Yes, I was it was quite fun to but I had to give it up when I started teaching." said Voldemort
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny were looking at all the different things Voldemort did when he was young. But when Violet turned the page, a somewhat of a torn and crumpled up photo fell out. She uncrumpled it and looked at it in wonder. For on the photo was a boy. Probably one year older than her. He had dark raven hair and his green eyes were hidden beneath his round glasses.
"Uncle Voldy, who is this?" asked Klaus as he took the photo from Violet.
Voldemort gave a large sigh and stared out the window.
"Children, how many of you would like to here a bedtime story?" asked Voldemort
