Welcome, loyal readers, to the final chapter of “Harry Potter Meets the BabySitters Club,” the highly improbable Harry Potter/Baby-Sitters Club crossover fic in which Mrs. Figg kidnaps Harry Potter and then goes to the bank to adopt him and Neville Longbottom.  This “blood adoption” involves some kind of goblin magic that is not explained at all.  The boys are also heirs to about 3/4 of England between them.  We last left our newly formed family taking a Portkey to Connecticut from Gringotts to escape Dumbledore’s interference in their interference in his plan.

Clear as mud, yes?  Good.  Let us begin the chapter:

Hello, dear readers!  We’re back with chapter three of “Harry Potter Meets the BabySitters Club.”  In case you’ve forgotten (and I don’t blame you), in chapter one Mrs. Figg babynapped Harry Potter from the Dursleys’ doorstep and took him to Gringotts Bank.  There, she and the head goblin decided that she would adopt him and Neville Longbottom, Harry’s cousin through their mothers and also newly orphaned.  In chapter two, Mrs. Figg visited her vault and then we all fell asleep as Mrs. Figg and the goblins discussed finances, estimating how much she would need to move to the U.S. with the boys.

Welcome back to “Harry Potter Meets the BabySitters Club,” a rather odd Alternate-Universe Harry Potter/Baby-sitters Club crossover fic.  Last week, Mrs. Figg baby-napped young Harry from the Dursleys’ doorstep a day before he was put there and took him to Gringotts (the bank) so that the goblins can decide matters of wizard inheritance.  Makes total sense.

We left off with Mrs. Figg planning to adopt both Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom, whose parents were also killed the same night as Harry’s.  Neville’s grandmother is getting old and so is totally willing to let him go live with a stranger.  Now Mrs. Figg is off to her vault, the only canon bit of Gringotts in this story.

Hello, dear readers.  Today I’ve decided to continue my journey through the book crossover section of fanfic.net.  The past two weeks I unintentionally brought you two Harry Potter crossovers.  I found them both by the other source material, and it was merely coincidence that I ended up with HP crossovers.  This time, I chose yet another source material and specifically looked at the HP crossovers.  As Ghostie pointed out at the beginning of Animagus Predator, there are a LOT of HP crossovers out there.  Just about everything I checked had at least one HP crossover.

I finally settled on this short multi-chapter Baby-sitters Club/Harry Potter crossover fic since it has characters behaving in completely non-canon ways, excessive detail, and writing just bad enough to make it interesting without making me want to cover my screen in real red ink.

So without further ado, let’s start with the summary:

Hello again, fellow fans of the fantastically bad.  This week, we’re taking a trip way back into nostalgia with a Baby-sitters Club fanfic called The Truth about Claudia.  For those who were not 8-14-year-old girls in the mid ’80s to mid ’90s, The Baby-sitters Club was a series of novels about a group of 13-year-old girls who form a club in order to coordinate baby sitting jobs.  To give you an idea of the reading level, I was reading these by myself as an advanced 2nd grader.

This fic is another very short one, though it is divided into two “chapters.”  But first, the summary:
