The next morning at breakfast, which was toast, eggs and orange juice, Harry told Sunny, Klaus and Violet that they would be going out shopping to buy the children anything that they needed.

The children looked at their new guardian, they thought of the clothes they all owned, the itchy clothing they had received from Mr Poe and his wife and all gave Harry nods.

Harry smiled at his nieces and nephew and he got up from the table to grab a pen and paper before sitting back down. "Okay then so what do you need?"

"Clothes please" said Violet. "The majority of the clothing we have already are very itchy and uncomfortable."

Sunny and Klaus both nodded.

"Of course" said Harry before writing clothes down. "Anything else?"

The children shook their heads, the new house they were now going to be living in from now on had everything they could ever want or need. Books, things to bite, a desk to work at to invent things…. they couldn't really think of anything else they really wanted …at least not right now.

Harry gave them a nod of acknowledgement before putting the pen down and putting the piece of paper away in the pocket of his jeans before getting up. Harry took his now empty plate, cup, and cutlery to the sink where he quickly rinsed them before placing them into the dishwasher.

Harry returned to the children and stared at them "When you're finished eating put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher and get ready to go out."

"Yes, uncle Harry" said Violet and Klaus in understanding.

Sunny gave a small nod.

Harry smiled before then leaving the children to eat their breakfast together.

The children after they finished eating did as they were told and put their dirty dishes into the dishwasher, gave the breakfast table a quick clean before getting ready to go out shopping. Once all dressed in their day clothes and shoes and socks and after they all had brushed their teeth, they went to find their uncle.

The young Baudelaire orphans found their uncle in the library reading a book, when he saw them enter the room he gave a small smile, put down the book and stood up.

"Ready to go?" Harry asked.

The children nodded.

Later at the shopping centre Harry took them to store after store until he was satisfied, buying them plenty of clothes to wear at home, night clothes and clothes for parties and formal occasions as well.

The Baudelaire children were grateful to their uncle and were given a nice surprise when Harry bought them something extra each, an inventing kit for Violet, a book for Klaus and a teething toy for Sunny.

It was 12: 30 when they went to a small café in the shopping centre to have lunch before they would go back to their new home.

Harry had bought them chips for all of them to share and a milkshake each, the 4 of them sat together eating their lunch.

As they ate their lunch the children, though they were happy and having a good time couldn't help but be afraid that Olaf would show up to ruin everything.

Shortly after getting inside and shutting the door closed behind them when they arrived home Harry turned to the children, "Klaus, Sunny, Violet why don't you go play or read in the library?" Harry suggested.

Klaus smiled at Harry's suggestion and immediately went to where he remembered the library was, followed shortly by Violet, carrying baby Sunny in her arms.

As soon as the children were out of sight Harry went to the laundry and started to wash the clothes, before going to the phone to call a friend.

Later Harry joined the children in the library, picked out a book (a book on parenting as this whole family thing was completely new to him) and sat down on a chair.

Harry cast a gaze towards the children and looked at what the children were doing.

Violet had her hair tied up and she was sitting at the table that was in the library, she seemed to be deep in concentration. Her new inventing kit out was set out on the table and looked to be inventing something using it.

Klaus and Sunny was sitting together on a chair, Klaus was reading a children's fiction book out loud to his younger sister.

Harry smiled, 'Good…they seem to be enjoying themselves' thought Harry to himself and hoping that his new nephew and nieces liked their new home. He hoped that he would be a good guardian for them and that he was doing a good job at it so far. He hoped that he could give them a happy childhood…even if he had never really had one himself.

Everyday Harry would make the meals at breakfast, lunch and dinner. He would do the housework, only expecting the children to help with the dishes and to tidy up their bedrooms when messy. Sometimes the children and Harry would spend time together in the library reading …. most other times Harry would leave the children be, occasionally checking up on the children but allowing the children to do what they wanted without supervision.

In the short duration of a mere week the children had grown to like their uncle Harry very much, though they did think he seemed a very secretive man. Harry so far had spoken very little of his past to the children and there was the locked room that Harry had told them not to enter as well. The children did not attempt to pick the lock in respect for their new guardian but even so they couldn't help but feel incredibly curious as to what kind of things the room might contain.

The following Wednesday the children and Harry received a visit from the banker Mr Poe.

"Hello Mr Poe, have you come to check on the children?" asked Harry, a forced polite smile on his face.

After hearing about what had happened to his nieces and nephew Harry had decided that he didn't like the banker very much. The man was incompetent and didn't help the children when they practically begged for help, even after the neglectful and abusive way that Olaf had treated the children.

Mr Poe gave a nod, "Yes, just a quick visit though …I do have other things I need to do at my job at the bank."

Harry suppressed an intense urge to glare at the banker.

"Where are the children?" asked Mr Poe noticing the children hadn't come to the door with Harry.

The banker suddenly started to cough into a handkerchief and Harry waited until the man was finished the fit of coughing to answer the other male.

"The children are in the library reading, come in Mr Poe and follow me …. I will take you to them"

The banker gave a nod, coughed again before then following Harry to the library.

"Violet…Sunny…Klaus..Mr Poe has come to visit us" spoke Harry as he and Mr Poe entered the library.

As soon as they heard their guardian's words Klaus, Sunny and Violet all took their attention away from what they had been doing previously to look at their uncle and the banker.

The children all got up from where they sat and walked towards Harry and Mr Poe.

The Banker looked at the children and smiled to see that they all looked well, "So tell me children do you like it here with your new guardian?" Mr Poe asked.

The children all gave nods, even little Sunny who Klaus held in his arms.

"Yes! We like it here very much Mr Poe. Uncle Harry is very kind" said Violet.

"He cooks our meals, he bought us new clothes and we all have our own beds and bedrooms" said Klaus.

"He also doesn't hit us and when he speaks to us, he doesn't call us orphans but by our names" added Violet.

Sunny spoke a nonsense word of baby speak which here meant "He also hasn't sent us to work in a Miserable Mill"

Mr Poe looked at the smiles on the faces of the Baudelaire children, "That's very nice to hear children, I'm glad you are happy here"

Mr Poe turned to Harry who seemed to have a sort of relieved expression on his face, "Can you show me their bedrooms?" asked Mr Poe.

Harry gave a nod, and told Mr Poe to follow him upstairs to show the man the children's bedrooms. While Harry showed the Banker where the children slept Mr Poe asked Harry more questions, which Harry reluctantly answered. After Mr Poe saw the rooms that the children had for bedrooms he left the house shortly after, apparently satisfied with what he saw.

After the Banker left Harry turned to the children who had all come with Harry to say goodbye to Mr Poe out of politeness.

"Do you really like it here?" Harry asked the children.

Violet and Klaus gave nods and the Baudelaire children all smiled at Harry.

"Yes, we really do Uncle Harry!" said both Violet and Klaus.

Harry smiled, "That's great" he said before then suggesting the children go play a game of something or read while he did some housework and then later started dinner.
