Excellent. This was an enjoyable chapter.

I think the Adams are going to find that the
courses are much too easy. The children will
have to come up with extra credit projects to
fill in the gaps on their own.

Riddle manor? rIDdlE MANOR!?!?!?

Oh my, things are going to be interesting shortly, aren't they?

Awesome chapter! Great idea with the contract, that'll keep Dumbledore on his toes! But, what did Gomez need to be doing with the goblins? Did if have anything to do with Harry? Again, great chapter, update soon!

why that lying, worthless, witless Dumbles! shame on taking credit, but very in-character. He deserves a PTA! (and I normally wouldn't wish that on any administrator). I'm sure we can all guess where the Addams' will be staying. Voldie will be surprised in 4th year (if this goes that far).

How intriguing! Could this haunted house they've decided to let be Riddle Manor?

brilliant! next, the riddle house no doubt. iwonder how tom will like the invasion. lurch vs malfoy senior, the possibilities are endless. the way you are turning "canon" on its head is inspired. i actually wish that you had made minerva more of an accomplice to morticia but that's a minor quibble. can't wait for the next bit.

Minerva had a lot of stuff dumped on her all at once, and didn't really have time to process it.   She had even more to field than Remus did, actually, and she's older and more set in her ways.   She'll have to make a decision who she supports later.

Wheeeee.

The Addams are moving into the Riddle-house.
Nice Idea.
Tommy-boys reaction will be hilarious no doubt.

very nice; I like what you've done with Remus; it's good to have some nice things happening to him for a change.

is the house that is hard to rent the riddle house?

Wow, Interesting story. I have to say at first that I avoided the story just because I didn't think that it would make and sense, but I have to say after reading the first chapter I changed my mind and can't wait for the next.

I do have one question than I hope your story will address or that you would be willing to answer.

How is Mortica related to Lily and Petunia, she wouldn't be a Addams until she married Gomez and therefore would not have any blood relation to Harry's maternal grandmother? So when the contract was signed to gain custody of Harry, Gomez's finger print would have sealed the deal.

Thanks for you time and keep up the good work.

Ishtar replied:

Morticia's maiden name is also Addams.   Her mother was Rosemary Addams Evans' cousin.   This makes Morticia and Petunia second cousins.   Gomez is Morticia's second cousin on the other side.   (The TV show canon had Morticia's maiden name being Frump, but I can't see that woman ever being a Frump, can you?)   Harry and the Addams children are third/fifth cousins depending on which side you count.   There's all sorts of mad intermarriage among the Addamses  - it's almost as bad as the British pure-bloods.

The current owner is an absentee landlord, and doesn’t care whether it’s haunted or not. There’s a caretaker for the grounds, and Thing and Lurch can handle the interior. It’s pretty much furnished. Place even comes with its own graveyard. It’ll be just like home."

Hmmm.... The Riddle estate?

Josh Schoemaker posted a comment on Saturday 18th November 2006 8:38pm for Dumbledore vs. Addams, Round 2

This looks like a really great fic. I can't wait for the next update. That, and any story with Dumbledore bashing is alright in my book. Also, I'm just wondering, was the house Remus was talking about the Riddle Manor from "The Goblet of Fire"?

sydneydallas posted a comment on Saturday 18th November 2006 8:33pm for Dumbledore vs. Addams, Round 2

I love Morticia's manipulations of Dumbledore, she's so wickely devious, yet very likable because her love of her family is quite apparent. I'm eager to find out how the rest of the Hogwarts faculty and Harry's year mates will react to the Addams children. Looking forward to the next chapter.

not only has the stage been set, but you've got us the readers delightfully off balance, as we don't really understand all the pieces you've set in play. For instance, which parts of the contract did Dumbledore manage to negotiate away? Will there really be a PTA at Hogwarts? Parental supervision of field trips?

And I still haven't made up my mind about Snape, and I *REALLY* look forward to seeing that. I can see them enjoying the challenge and enjoying "besting" him, so letting him be. I can also see them getting him removed ASAP. I can also see them seeing him as a threat and removing him themselves... so many delicious possibilities.

And what of Harry? We really don't know that much about him yet. You've kept him mostly in the wings. We don't really know just how his personality has devloped over all these years.

I wonder just when, exactly, will Albus realize that Remus is not his "lackey". and what a shock will that be?

thanks for sharing, you're going well. Don't worry about the word count, the story rocks!

Good for Moony. Got a new job coming up and his health is better. How soon into the school year before Snivellus outs him?

Arkeus posted a comment on Saturday 18th November 2006 8:02pm for Dumbledore vs. Addams, Round 2

ahah!!
This, the whole adams going back to england, and taking Remus as history teacher, are some good ideas. I always was surprised how badly organised hogwart was, especially since rowling is a teacher herself...

*Laughs* Oh, quite a delightful romp there. But the house the Addams are buying, that wouldn't happen to be from a certain Riddle family, would it? -That- could cause all sorts of havoc. *low wicked laugh*

OUTSTANDING CHAPTER!!!! Does Harry have a wand and if so what kind of wand is it? I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter. Is Harry, Wednesday and Pugsley going to go to Diagon Alley and get there school supplies in the next chapter too? DO keep up the outstanding work and update soon please:):):):)
