YES! Finally a new chapter! I loved all of it! Can't wait for the next! And the seven dwarves (or dwarfs, but both ways are accepted, it seems) bit was hilarious! Keep up the good work, bye!

Yes! A great follow up to one of my top ten fics here, and loved how Albus' ulcer must be burning at record le vels now, as well as Gomez and his advice to Harry. Wonderful part here, and definitely looking forward to the next part.

A very nice chapter there Ishtar and nice to see you back again after your 7 month posting break.
Hmm.. small fuzzy brown thing. I actually had to stop and think for a moment there. If this was the house-elves misbehaving (and it was thankfully) they were probably kiwifruit. If it was the Addamses misbehaving, the sadist in me says kiwi birds.

ps: in case I wasn't clear. What I meant was that I would think that the Addams' segments would usually be much more fun to write, since they're so wild and outlandish.
But I did also like the abuse-of-time-turner bits thrown in, and it will be nice to see him pay the piper for that. Poppy might confine him to bed for a few days...
best,

ahhh, I can see the trouble you'd have with this chapter: far too much Albus, and not enough Addams/Potter!
As such, it is a good thing that you added the Harry segment at the bottom. Good way to end the chapter.
The house elf fight sounds interesting, definitely unexpected. Yes, what is that fuzzy brown thing, Albus? Snicker. It'd be cool to see him freak out a bit over an Addams enjoying a Blood Orange. (it's just an orange with reddish flesh, but the name is nice and gruesome.)
Very glad to see this updated, and I'm looking forward to more!
thanks for sharing!

Awwwww......poor Albus.(not) But then, as he tried to prove with Harry and a generation of Sanape's potion students suffering is good for the soul and builds character. The fact that he's suffering now and learning how it feels is only a testament to the theory.(snicker) I loved the Elf War, and Fester's classes reminded me of one of my favorite teachers! It also enjoyed seeing the influx of Addamms influnce and money via the building spree, guest lecturers, and testing additions. Why in a few years Hogwarts might actually be a competant school again! I also enjoyed reading about Albus's frustrations in the political realm, and how it was affecting him. It was also enjoyable to see Gomez and Remus working together to bring Harry out of his depression, and giving Gomez a chance to practice for the teen years. Of course, the whole teen angst thing might be overshadowed by Voldy and company, but then I'd still back the Addms clan! Many thanks for this latest chapter, and as always you provided an excellent one!

Hope the muse stays with you

Yes, of that the gods YES! Finaly, a new chapter of my single favorite Harry Potter Crossover. Well, I think it is one of my favorites. At least in the top three with no clear winner or ranking at all, so...yeah it is part of my favorites. SO please, keep it up, don't let the Muse escape!

Heeee! Love it! I love this story, and the Adams have such a wonderful, twisted, perfectly abnormal in an awesome way perspective on life. :-)

OH my. I LOVE it! I have to say that Albus' week was somewhat more Terrible, Horrible, No Good, and Very Bad than Alexander's, wasn't it?
I'm glad your muse has returned, but the umbrella thing is most suspicious! :-)
This chapter made me laugh out loud - Dumbledore really was overrun, wasn't he? I love the competition between the elves - that was terrific!
I can't wait to see more of this; I hope your muse stays satisfied with memories of her vacation and continues to inspire you.
ta,
Cassie

Yay! It's great to see a new chapter of this--it's one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you...
I enjoyed the chapter. Any day I get an update from you tends to be a better day. Dumbledore's sense of humor seem to be getting a bit thin these days; no demonstrations in muggle studies, its despicable. Love the story. W.

"Ahem! If I may … after an appropriate period of observation, Mistress Frump will teach First through Fourth Years, with Professor Snape retaining Fith through Seventh."
Fifth through seventh me thinks.
I just have to ask... Will dear Dolores be showing up?
Great update.
Ishtar replied:
Congratulations, you have found the Ritual Typo, which is carefully inserted so that the chapter will not be perfect and anger the gods. You get a cookie.
Yes, I do plan for dear Dolores to be showing up.
