This is shaping up to be quite a story! I am not an Addams Family fan at all, but this fic is great! Looking forward to the next chapters.

Oh for crying out loud! The Addams moving into Riddle Manner? I sure didn't see that coming!
Or I could be really jumping to conclusion...?

Y'know what I find funniest about this, dear lady?
My late love Tasha used to dress like Carolyn Jones (it amused her immensely, being a goth as she was) and would tease me that I belonged in a pinstripe suit.
It makes it all the easier to visualize what you've written, and I end up laughing so hard it hurts.
You've brought back good memories with this entertaining story, and I'm most grateful.

Hope you didn't mind "Dr. MacIntyger". Had no idea what she looked like, so I didn't put in a description.
Glad you're enjoying it. I aim to please.

I've told Kinsfire this, but you need to be told directly, as well: each word, each nuance, is perfection. I hear Morticia's voice, the susurration as her dress brushes the ground, the hidden steel behind the gentility Gomez displays, and I came close to weeping with the courtesy you--and, through you, the Addamses have paid to Remus.
I only pray that I can someday write as well as you: you have a gift that inspires as well as awes, and a facility for bringing out not only the best in the characters depicted, but in limning their souls in a way even their creators may not have imagined.

This ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ is beautiful. You write poetry, sir, in your replies, and I'm honored to be the recipient of compliments such as this.

You know, one of the odd things about this story is that both the HP world and the Addams Family are built around oddness (in comparison to the mundane world). It seems terribly strange to realize that HP's magical England actually makes the Addamses seem normal and reasonable.
I absolutely adore this story, and look forward to reading more of it.

Great chapter! The house Remus and Morticia were speaking of at the end sounds like it could be the Riddle House. That's what I'm predicting anyways. I also enjoyed how the American's deal with werewolves as well as the intergration of Remus into the family. Can't wait for what happens next.

The only problem I have with this chapter is really a nit pick... Lurk knows more than two words.
If nothing else, his *canon* "Follow mee..." is proof of that.
And the non-canon "Do The Lurch" song that Ted Cassidy did years ago is very amusing, and can be found on the (free online) album "Ghouls with Attitude".
I agree with you, though, his groans were really quite expressive. ^_^

Fixed. I haven't had a chance to watch the shows again; I'd forgotten that he said anything but "You raaang?"

A haunted house, eh? Don't think it's the Shrieking Shack, since it had no caretaker mentioned in the third book.
Curious what building or estate you're going to bring into this. Will it be a historically famous one?

Another excellent chapter. You have my interest peaked about what house they will be letting, but I don't believe that it will be the shrieking shack, as that doesn't seem to quite fit. I don't know of another. Maybe something famous in Muggle British society?
I look forward to the sort of demonstrations and spectables that the kids will make in front of the whole school. I imagine Draco tied to a stake in place of the head table surrounded by huge split logs as fire wood. They would only be talked down when Remus reminds them of their promise to not burn the school down as he points at the wood rafters twenty feet above. I believe that the headmaster will be glad that Remus is there to reason with the walking terrors.
Thanks for writing.

They wouldn't, by chance, be moving into the old Riddle mansion, now would they? *snickers* Poor Tom won't know what hit him....

Please tell me they didn't just lease the Riddle House?
