Poor Dumbledore, so put upon. Love Grandmama being all Slytherin and blackmailing Snape. I'll bet he's going to be a lot happier in the future. :)

Wonderful chapter. I enjoy the school politics but the scene with Remus pleases me most. I think that interaction between Wednesday and Luna Lovegood has some possibilities for next year. Thanks for writing. W.

"Awake from your slumber, arise from your sleep."
Excellent. Was eagerly awaiting an update for this story. What a great way to brighten a dreary Monday morning.
Thank you

I love this story it's so different than about anything else out there! Now that we have the family around don't forget Harry and Wednesday I would like to see just them on an adventure or two!
thanks for the update!

I would have paid to see the look on Snape's face when he was talking to Grandmama! Snicker, snicker...

Yay!!!!!!!!!! (dances) Another chapter of your excellent story! I loved every bit of it, from seeing how Grandmama applied both the carrot and the stick to Snape during their interview to the way Malfoy and Dumbledore were blindsided at the PTA commitee meeting. Tsk tsk....it looked for a while there like Snape was going to die from the shock of discovery that the doting grandmother he thought he could intimidate could out fininess him easily. And the way in which she outlined what could happen to him if he didn't straighten up was beautiful......no messy threats, no insults....just straight facts. Her outlining of Dumbledore's motives was priceless! As for Dumbledore, well it looks like Morticia and Gomez have most of the committee in the palms of their hands, and have a nice set of breaks ready to deal with Malfoy and Dumbledore. And then the sight of Malfoy and Mrs. Granger actually working togehter on a subcommittee......now that was beautiful! I loved seeing that moment of realization on Dumbledore's part that he and Malfoy might actually be allied for once... I'll bet the thought gave him indigestion! Chuckle....and Dumbledore's suspicions about Quirell and the Addams family are correct but he's discounting it because of the time frame! I also enjoyed seeing the meeting between Remus and the children at the end of the chapter! It looks like they'll be researching like crazy to figure out what's in that journal.....and thanks to Wenesday's insight they have been given another clue to work with! By the by, when I was reading Snape's thoughts on Pugsley and Neville something occured to me...maybe those two will end up as buisness partners someday! Combine them with Fred and George and the future joke shop and they could be extremely sucessful. In short this was a fantastic chapter, and as always I look ahead to the next! Many thanks to you for writing this! Please accept cyber donuts, canollis, and danish!

"Well, we always knew that You Know Who had an ego. Now we know it was bigger than everyone else’s. Wonder what he was compensating for?"Hee hee.
The Addamses are sneaky as all hell.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! I loved the parent teachers meeting!It seems that the Adams are taking over Hogwarts and bringing it into the modern world and Dumbledore can't stand it! I loved how Grandmama handled Snape!This story just gets better and better with each chapter!I hope that I don't have to wait long for the next chapter!

Woo-hoo! You're back! *big grin* I'm delighted, this is aboslutely spiffing! It was a wonderful chapter, and I so look forward to seeing the effect of all the changes. Smart girl, Wednesday. Oh, and Grandma, too. I could see Snape's face as he discovered who this old lady with the rather odd fashion sense was. That hit him right where it hurt the most. Yay you! Hope this means you have more material backed up, so there won't be this long a wait for the next update?

God, I love the Dumbledore torture ;) I LOLed at Lucius Malfoy being useful re: the house elves. Can't wait to see all the Addamses as professors *snort*

Yea! the best fic has another chapter!
It would be cool if the Addams kids did something nasty to the hocruxes . . . something that voldie would hate even more than their destruction!
I can't wait for Luna to show up next year. She and the Addams should get along great!
I love what the elder Addams' are doing to the school!

*faints*
*recovers*
*CHEERS!*
I'm so happy to see more of this! Is this your NaNo for this year, or did you just pull out an older WIP? Either way, I'm just tickled.
I love how the Addamses are mucking about with Hogwarts - something SOMEBODY'S parents ought to have done ages ago - and I foresee lots of fun and excitement upcoming.

SEMI-CLIFFIE!!!!! ARGH!!!!!
Excellent chapter! My favorite parts were tied between Grandmama vs. Snape and the PA vs. Dumbledore.
I can't wait to see how having the Family at Hogwarts disrupts things. *evil giggle*
Thanks for another great chapter, Dorothy!

Creepy? Now that's creepy. Well, didn't Dumbledore get sideblinded...I mean sandblasted at the meeting? And just to think Malfoy was behaving himself. Will wonders ever cease in this story? I hope not!

Great chapter! A little weird at the end, but not totally unexpected. It's always great to see Dumbledore and Malfoy run through the ringer by the Adams yet again. Great to see you get back to this story.

Oh man Dorothy, this was great! Grandmama laid a smack down on Snape that was classic. Now he doesn't have any say in how Harry and the Addams grades are. Love the meeting with between the Teachers and Parents. Dumbledore has more headaches as well as Gomez taking more power from Malfoy. Geez, Malfoy isn't going to have any politcal power left when he's done. Ooh, poor Draco can't whine about "When my father hears agout this!" anymore. Brilliant. Also lofe the foreshadowing of the Horcruxes at the end. Keep up the great work!!

I absolutely adore this story. I really get a kick out of how the Addamses run roughshod all over everyone. *grins* They're like a force of nature given human form.
Dumbledore & Malfoy both act as if they've been hit in the gut by a rogue bludger, huh? Maybe this'll wake 'em both up?
Would love to see more of this soon.
