This story is so great! I snicker every time Dumbledore comes up against Morticia. I'm not a big fan of evil Dumbledore, but manipulative Dumbledore, when he gets one-upped, can be funny. Hope things are settling down at home, so you can continue this story. (I know, Christmas is coming, so is family, so is crazy time, but I can hope, can't I?)

Nice chapter, but the Addams are being too kind to DoubleDumb and Dumber, his pet bat.
Do we, the readers, need to re-read the story since you say you rewrote it?
Ishtar replied:
No, no, it was just the one chapter! I had it about half written, RedPat reminded me of something, and I had to trash it and start from scratch! You don't have to re-read anything! (Although apparently I do ...)

‘Will Work for Gloves.’
That had me laughing so hard my asthma kicked in! Which is odd cause I never was a Addams Family fan, I was more of a Man from U.N.C.L.E fan but I'm enjoying your work though!

I like it. Having Harry unite the houses or move in that direction from Slytherin is certainly a unique approach. Thanks, W

Well worth the wait! Good to see that Harry has started to gather his allies.
Cheers

That was one hell of a chapter. The children are making some headway with members of the other houses. We have Quidditch, always a bonus. And witty reparte from Harry's corner and confusion and stupidity from Draco's. Love that Machiavelli scene. Hilarious. Cheers.

*snicker* Whoa, that had to be an "interesting" experience for Snape. I laughed quite strongly at the insult in Italian and Blaise's reaction. This is already a fascinating story and I'm sure it's going to get more so.

Wow. Check off one Life Debt. :D
Snape is thawing. Slowly, slightly, almost imperceptibly, but he is. Cool.
Glad to see you updated past NaNo time as well.

I'd say that Machiavelli was a natural soulmate for Slytherins, if it wasn't for the fact that it's glaringly obvious that no modern Slytherin ever heard the name, or Sun Tzu's for that matter. Good chapter, glad to see this continue!

Just how many people is talking about the Addams? Does this mean that Gomez will try to get Snape on their side? I'm actually waiting for the Thing to shake Snape's hand. Just who's hand was this? I'm really not surprised that Hermione's in Ravenclaw. Just how many of the other ladies know how to handle Snape? Just what would be the turning point for Snape to work for the Addams and helping Harry? Will you have Remus do some talking about the quality of care that the Addams give to their employees? Makes me wonder if there's some really special potion ingredients that only the Addams have? Does this mean that Harry, Pugsley and Wednesday is going to get a few books on hexes, jinxes and what not? Makes me wonder if something nasty will happen to Draco.

Another nice chapter. Hope you're not going to follow the entire PS plot-line, but so far it's nicely done. Liked the part in the hospital wing :P. Hope next chapter will come soon!

Oooh Rahh! A very good chaper. Been checking for an update every day since the last chapter was put up. I'll be doing the same for the next chapter as well. I'm a major fan of this story. Keep up the excellent work.
:D

I'm really enjoying your Addam's take on Harry Potter. I came to FFA today hoping to find a new chapter, and was overjoyed when I found it was up. I had quite a few laughs form this chapter especially Harry's comment about how much getting on the team would cost lol . Keep up the good work.
