Family Values

Poor Severus Snape. Pugsley, Wednesday, AND Harry in Slytherin, Then, throw in Draco looking less like a prince than more of a nearly-drowned Gilderoy Lockhart clone. If he were smart, he'd start the seventh-years on pain-relieving potions; he (and Dumbledore) are going to sorely need them!

with a call like that, shouldn't the owl be called fozzy?!

Not if you know what's good for you.  She has a vastly inflated sense of her own worth.

The crowds parted almost magically for them, and they ignored the stares, whispers and occasional snickers. It was all part of being an Addams.

Grin

That way people underestimate you. Until it’s too late.
And that is one of the main rules Wednesday lives by isn't it?

But don’t let Aunt Morticia hear you saying Divination is ‘woolly’. She can give a cold reading that will knock your socks off.

And there is the secret behind the Families financial success. It isn't really venture capital when you know the risks involved.

He smiled sadly. “Where do you think the stories come from, Hermione?

Ah yes, there isn't any argument against that statement.
How do you come up with them - seriously.

Even Hermione, whose parents were dentists and who had been sent off with a bag of sugar-free treats and healthy snacks, happily abandoned them in favour of the joys of Chocolate Frogs and Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans.

Good, you made her normal!

“And do you,” he choked out, “prefer your p-pumpkin juice shaken or stirred?”

;-D

The thugs, who Harry decided he would call Thing One and Thing Two,

No he didn't, that's insulting to the real Thing!

So, after stealing his werewolf they are now busy stealing Dumbledors deputy.
Will they be stealing Dumbeldors pet death eater too? That would be very difficult... as Snapes loves teaching so much he'd kill for the change to get an offer of sponsorship for doing research. It's going to be though negotiating, Addams style, but then Snape might even tolerate Harry for the coming seven years. He'd be his charming self for the first weeks of course. However, the Family will lock him into their arms once they find out it was all done pining over an Addams Daughter and thus entirely understandable.

And all the Addams children in Slytherin... I trust you to fill the house students of a varied political and economical background than the standard lot off rich spoiled inbred junior death eaters. If so the trios interaction with their House mates is going to be interesting. Merlin, they might very well tear the House apart!
And then rebuild it from the pieces :-)

I love it how Wednesday is compared to Narcissa, because however much I love her, it fits.

No he didn't, that's insulting to the real Thing!

Quite right, and I need to go change that at some point.  Perhaps he'll call them the Wickersham Brothers ("Horton Hears a Who" reference).

However, the Family will lock him into their arms once they find out it was all done pining over an Addams Daughter and thus entirely understandable.

Well, not quite.  He did reveal the prophecy, which lead directly to her death ... so he owes something to the Family.  That will catch up with him eventually.

I just read this chapter again - still a highly entertaining and funny read. I noticed that at the end of the chapter, Snape calls Malfoy the 'Prince of Slytherin' in his narration. Is that because it is all but a foregone conclusion to him that he will be sorted into Slytherin, or was that unintended?

Ok, I usually save revievs untill I've read the whole story, but I just can't resist. The whole idea is brilliant, I enjoyed every page so far, even though I've never been an Addams fan (in fact I'm pretty much ignorant where it comes to the Family). And the last two chapters were just amazing. :] When I've read about a delightful haunted house with it's own cemetery I stopped, went 'Oh man, no way, NO WAY!' and laughed so hard my brother woke up and came to yell at me. I could see the Slytherin sorting comming and while it didn't really surprise me and I've seen several of those before, this one is by far the best. I would be making bets how long will it take the Horrid Trio to make Snape resign/have a severe mental breakdown/kill someone right about now, if only I had anyone to bet with. ;]

I really like this fic it is as original as you can get. I especially like the bit from Macbeth.

Interesting.

Oh. My. Lord.

LOVED Snape's inner monologue. That was BRILLIANT.

Re-reading this chapter (you said it would explain why Wednesday isn't apparently performing all that well) and stumbled onto this line:

> then they realised Jordan was always like that.

That has GOT to be out of "Real Genius". Your sprinkling of movie/book references is subtle but quite fun.

Thank you for the roundly entertaining story.

Bingo!  The fun part is that some of the references are in the story world (like Jordan being a classmate) and some show that the book/movie exists in the story world (like Harry reading The Hobbit and quoting The Princess Bride).  References like that seem to go better in this story than some of the others I've written, perhaps because this one has that dash of comedy to it.

I was prepared to blast you if you sorted him into Gryffindor, considering his upbringing. Poor Draco won't know what hit him. Nor will Snape, for that matter...

LOL! I was rereading this for the second time, and this time, I got who "Jordan" was... one presumes she chooses a career in Muggle science instead of magic?

This story is interesting and diffrent. I had never encountered a HP/Adams family Crpssover before. I also like the way the Wednsesday and Harry have balanced each other as the grew up. Wednesday is showing more emotion, and harry is a lot less brash.

This is one of the most original and well-written crossovers I've read. I'll be interested to see how Harry interacts with the other students given his Addams mentality, and bringing Wednesday and Pugsley along was a nice touch. Keep up the excellent work.

this is realy good i love this fic i will checking for updates regularly

what house was Hermione put in?

Absolutely wonderful!

I'm writing this as I go, so I'll have to go back and edit it afterwards, I dare say.

Anyway, you AN. The uniforms seen the movie were originally designed as formal wear, for feasts and other things like that. The rest of the time they'd wear muggle clothes underneath a robe (to me, evidence that the wizarding world as a whole is not nearly as anti-muggle as many fanfics make it out to be). But Chris Columbus and David Hayman preferred the uniform style, so it was used the entire time. Which really pissed the wardrobe department off, as they'd already started making the non-formal uniforms, and suddenly had to start panicking and making more formal ones. Well, when I say panicking, I really mean 'Oh well. That's how it goes'.

Anyway, onto stuff I know jack about, like how to write a good story. And a good thing too, as I would never achieve this. I liked Snape's reaction at the end, and I love it when Draco gets what's coming to him before he even does anything. Ah good times.

The stygian owl was a nice touch. Thanks for the link.

No surprise with them being in Slytherin, but I liked your doing it from Snape's p.o.v.

Thank you. It is seldom that fanfiction can truly be this original and readable. I laughed, I cried, I left a review. Author! author! More! More!
