Family Values

I miss this story. I has been so much fun to read and re-read. Are you ever going to pick it up again? I'd really love to have your version of an Addams confronting a basilisk or the Tri-Wizard tournament (heeeere, dragon, fetch girl) as well as what a properly Addams raised Harry could do to Voldemort. Please, please write more soon.

Can't believe I lost track of this story. But now I found it again …

‘he didn’t want the dubious distinction of being the first head to give detention to a member of his own house. He’d wait until the Weasley twins blew something up and got a detention from Minerva’

Here is the upside for having the Weasley twins in the school.

I like your sorting hat.

“Hat, you will re-Sort that boy or … or I’ll turn you into a propeller beanie!”

Maybe the hat would like it, it might be able to fly around like a helicopter and see somewhat more than the headmaster’s office.

…And a very painful verdict on Slytherin House. Ouch!

….And Dumbledore refuses to see danger and heaps it on Snapes shoulders. I am sooo glad I don't work for that old man.
Quirrel head of house Slytherin? I am positive his puppet master would be delighted :-)

Hufflepuffs, already own the world, they just hide it from the other houses. A bit like sqaws and chiefs :-)

I will say this: having a Dark Lord might not be a bad thing, if it is Harry Potter.”

Ah, an Enlightend Despot, the best known sort of government. (See Terry Prachett’s Lord Vetinari) Harry could pull the wizarding world kicking and screaming into the 18th century. And if he keeps it up long enough he might even manage the 19th or 20th century.

“Because Remus Lupin has been my agent inside the Addams family for the past five years

I should be pitying the man, but I am lacking in morality and laughing at his expense. :-D

If there is anyone who can influence them, bring them to the Light, it will be him.

Oh, I just thought, they are going to try to free Sirius, who is best friends with James who detest the dark arts. Some of Sirius problems with his family might even be from trying to satisfy his friend. And then he gets to know the ADDAMSES; he's in for a chock. Maybe Remus will manage to gently prepare him.
Oh, and now I see Morticia at Grimmaulds place having tea before Walburga's portrait, discussing .. eh… family probably. I have the feeling they’ll hid of. Morticia seems very good in befriending people. And Walburga is bound to approve of her, Mrs. Addams née Addams. A proper witch doing the proper thing for the good of her dark family. ( As long as Mrs. Black doesn't find out about the squib-thing anyway). Oh Merlin! She's going to enquire about any marriageable females that might be able to handle her son. I am going to have nightmares about Sirius-Ophelia offspring now - please obliviate me!

Speaking about parings, I know just the lady for uncle fetcher. She has been married before, several times, but she has had a bit of bad luck, all her husbands, while very rich where either sickly or had terrible accidents. Fetcher however, is a solid kind of guy, he won't drop death from a bit of poison or from being buried by and avalanche, he'll just enjoy the spicy-food and the frozen bath. And Blaise would finally have a father-figure in his life for more then a few months. And Mrs. Zabini is said to be very good looking, so she won't feel overtly outdone by fetchers handsomeness.

“Wednesday, you wouldn’t believe all the neat stuff Mr. Filch asked us to polish! He had chains, and manacles, and thumbscrews, and a rack, and…”

“That’s it, next time I get detention too,” she said. “Why shouldn’t I get to play with all the fun stuff?”

LOL

“Maybe he was on the wrong side in the war with Voldemort,” said Pugsley. “I’d be kind of pissed off if I was going to rule the world and had to settle for being a school teacher instead.”

Yep, that would be a good explanation too. :-)

Thug One and Thug Two

Yes, that describes them much better.
Thing must be relieved too

Although why you'd want to ruin a perfectly good poison is beyond me

Take heed and be forewarned!

Professor, I'd be glad to act as class monitor.

I am almost starting to pity Snape.

Next class, may I sit next to Longbottom?

I am definitely pitying Snape

Re: class schedules, what if there are five or six periods in a day, rather than only four? Then a typical Potions day could go Double, single, Lunch, single, Double (or with one less single). I know that my high school always had at least five, and if it's on anything even aproaching a university schedule, there's more like eight.
Great work, anyway. I'm on to the next chapter!

Anyway, great fic. I personally didn't think this would work out that well but you continue to surprise me with each chapter.

This really is one of the first Slytherin Harry fics i've read that hasn't had the whole united Slytherin house thing going on.

Ah i think that was bullshit, why isnt harry more crul, i think he should be towrds those who fuck with him, i dont want to see some pansy harry.

He's cruel enough, for an eleven year old, but his cruelty is more psychological than physical.  He and Wednesday have just destroyed Malfoy's 'street cred' in Slytherin - something that will hurt Malfoy for far longer than a simple sword cut would.  I don't believe there is any call for Harry, even this Harry, to be a sadist.  He wouldn't be Harry if he were.  He will do what needs to be done without hesitation, but going too far and reveling in it would destroy him. 

Harry is not a pansy.  Neither is he on the path to become another Voldemort. 

We recently had a discussion on this at the FFA forum.  You might find it interesting.

I hope you're going to update this story soon... I definetly like it. It's a lot of fun reading this :) Hope you'll get the next chapter up soon!

Ask and ye shall receive.  Next chapter is up!

This story is very good. Excellent characterisations, and great interactions. The grammer is good, and the story is full of detail. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Excellent story, very entertaining. I look forward to the next update!

I love this! Terribly great and can't wait to see more! :)

plz plz plz plz continue

This is the first time i have read a crossover with harry potter and the addams family. At first i didn't think i would like it, but then i started to read it, and i loved it. I can't wait until the next chapter :D

I know that the Holiday season makes it hard as Real Life interfers, but could you sneak another Chapter in before the year ends, as a Christmas Present to all your fans?

Marvelous story so far, very entertaining.

HP is my secret vice, I love Severus!!
Cannot wait for you to update.

Awesomes... I've had my mom and brother raving about this fic for weeks now and it only just got recced on the Slytherin_Rising listserve... So with that rec, I finally threw in the towel and started reading...
Not shabby... Less than a day to get through all of it.
I'm SO looking forward to more. ^_^ While my brother's HP/Addams XOver is good, this is just great, so yeah...
Rambling... I'm off to bed.

There's another HP/Addams xover?   I've only ever found one (which died on ff.net before Harry ever met the Addamses) and a couple of drabbles.  Is your brother posting it, and if so, where?

ohhhh yahhh!!!! gata love the Family. Nothing is quite like them. Next chapter please

PLEASE tell me you're going to complete this story! PLEASE???? It's much too good to leave it here!

Great story so far. Though I don't really like Harry getting pranked like that. Looking forward to the next chapter! I read a few reviews and "razz" kind of annoyed me. Don't take anything he wrote to heart. He seemed like a nolife preteen who thinks he knows everything about everything. Back to class I suppose..

I really like your story. The Addams are described in character, and Harry's character changings are likely concerning his new family.

I hope you won't abandon the fic now after the NaNoWriMo ended.
