Chapter 16

A/N: this is when the story starts getting a little action-ie. Enjoy! By the way, I actually did the spell check this time.

Harry and Ron raced out of the room. As they ran down the hall, Harry watched out the window, as Bellitrax did her disappearing act again. She could have gone anywhere; Harry wished he knew so he wouldn't run into her again.

"Come on, we have to go see Dumbledore!" Harry said. He and Ron turned the corner, and ran into the Baudelaire's. Klaus, Sunny and Violet fell backward.

"What in the world? What is wrong?" Violet asked.

"No time to explain- we have to go see Dumbledore!" Harry said, now out of breath. Ron nudged Harry in the ribs. "WHAT?"

"Look, mate." Ron whispered. A small area on the floor seemed to be melting away.

"What the-" Harry began, but was cut off by the shrill voice of Bellitrax.

"THERE! THERE THEY ARE!" She cried.

"Klaus, watch out!" Ron yelled as someone's arm stretched up from the floor below. Their arm must have been charmed to reach that high. It tried to grab Klaus, but Klaus managed to duck the hand. It reached for Violet, whom Harry then quickly shoved out of the way. The hand curled into a fist, and then grabbed Sunny before anyone could stop it.

"I got one!" Said a women's voice, though it was not Bellitrax's. "Blast- it's the little one!"

"Oh well! Take it anyway!" Said some man, a voice Harry also did not recognize.

"SUNNY!" Violet and Klaus yelled together, and tried to grab their baby sister, but the floor closed up.

"Come, we have to get this baby to Olaf and Voldemort!" Bellitrax's voice echoed before the hole closed all the way.

"That was Esme' who got Sunny!" Violet shrieked.

"And the hook-handed man was the guy down there!" Klaus said. Hermione was standing by a wall nearby, who had apparently turned a corner and saw the whole thing.

"Count Olaf and Voldemort? Working together?" She asked.

"I know, it makes no sense!" Ron yelled.

"Why in the bloody world would an annoying muggle and a wizard be working together?" Hermione asked.

"Because, Count Olaf wants the Baudelaire fortune. Voldemort is the only way to get Olaf here. So Olaf kidnaps one of the Baudelaire's. Harry, who is are friend, comes looking for the missing Baudelaire, leading him straight to Voldemort. Chances are, that we, the remaining Baudelaire's would come to, leading us straight to Olaf. It is all a giant set-up!" Klaus said.

"OK, you are WAY too smart!" Ron said.

"Thank you!" Klaus said.

"We have to save Sunny, though!" Violet said.

"We have to see Dumbledore first." Harry insisted.

"OK, lets go then!" Hermione said. Harry, Hermione, Ron, Violet and Klaus began to run off for Dumbledore's office.

When they got there, they barged into his office, in the middle of Snape's sentence.

"-That blasted Faux lady is Bellitrax Lestrange!" Snape turned around. "Potter, I have been meaning to tell you-"

"Professor Dumbledore," Harry interrupted. "Bellitrax- and Faux- same people- Sunny- kidnapped by Esme'- Voldemort and Olaf- working together-" Harry tried to say, but he was out of breath again from running so much.

"Voldemort and Count Olaf? Are working together? And Esme'- Count Olaf's associate- kidnapped Sunny?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes." Violet and Klaus said. Violet began to sob.

"Well… What are we going to do? Shouldn't we like, go find them or something?" Ron asked.

"Yes… But, we don't know where they are. We can't go get them if we don't know where they are." Dumbledore explained.

"But we have to do something!" Harry said.

"Yes, we do. I think that we should go out and find them." Dumbledore said. "Tomorrow." He added quickly.

"Why in Merlin's name tomorrow?" Hermione asked madly.

"We will have all day to search if we leave tomorrow." Dumbledore said.

"Good point." Klaus said.

"You're right." Violet agreed.

"So, are we all agreed?" Dumbledore asked. He set his hand down on the table.

"Agreed." Harry said, and out him hand over Dumbledore's.

"Agreed." Said Violet and Klaus, also setting their hands down.

"Agreed." Said Hermione and Ron. Everyone's hand was now on the pile.

"Severus? Would you care to join us?" Dumbledore asked. Snape looked at him. He shrugged.

"Sure. What could go wrong?" He walked over and set his hand on top. He spoke too soon. The moment his hand touched the pile, everyone was spinning wildly. Around and around, a white background behind them. Duh, Harry thought, Voldemort made the table a portkey so we could go straight to him. Duh! Harry now knew exactly where they would land.

A/N: Oooo… Where will they land? Can they safe Sunny? And will Harry risk his life just so the Baudelaire's will be safe? R&R, and you'll see…

By the way, I may just get this story done by the end of January, because it is only supposed to be between 20 and 25 chapters, or something like that.
