Just reread this part. The Lycanthrope specialist, Dr MacIntyger??? As in Dr. "Trapper" John MacIntyger of M*A*S*H?

Ishtar replied:

Trapper John's last name was MacIntyre.   Dr. MacIntyger is a tribute to someone else, a friend of the person who gave me the idea for the Werewolf Reserve.

I'm not sure if I've reviewed this story yet or not, but I've really been enjoying it so far. I love that for once Harry has network of support with the Addams family who refuse to let themselves be bullied into crafting Harry into some war machine. Also, very glad to see the interhouse barriers breaking down. anyway, enjoying it lots!

excellent work. This Story holds true to HP and The Addams Family. Can't wait for the next chapter.

Alright, I finally caught up with this. I read the first chapter when you first published it and didn't like it, but it quickly picked up.

One comment I'd like to make concerning this chapter, and a problem I see a lot of authors falling into. Boils. If you've never had the distinct pleasure of experiencing one, you'd not know that even a single boil can cripple a person with pain.

I know, I've had them more times than I'd like to recall, and the very idea of having more than one boil at a time would be enough to send me screaming for the phone and 911.

A back covered in boils? He wouldn't even be conscious. They hurt that much. Imagine someone shoving a golfball under your skin and you might begin to get the picture.

Good chapter, once I got through wincing over to the boils.

Thing at Hogwarts? Great.

I wonder about Thing's girlfriend Ladyfingers.

I do wonder if Gomez is going to do something about Frank and Alice Longbottom's condition.

The Addams might be dark, but family matters to them. I hope Gomez also gets Sirius out of Azkaban soon.

You have me hooked! I am looking forward to more... Like the way you have written about Thing.

At first I was sceptical about the crossover. However, after reading it I must say I love the story so far and I hope you update soon. Thank you for writing.

"Thing is one of our most trusted family members," said Mrs Addams. "As for what he is, exactly, we’re not sure. We found him on our doorstep one winter morning, shivering and holding a business card that said ‘Will Work for Gloves.’ We took him in, of course, and he’s been with us ever since."

By the way, what are the official origin of Thing (if there are any)?

Ishtar replied:

I'm not aware that Thing has an "official origin".   His first appearance is in a cartoon that appeared in the New Yorker, showing two hands sticking out of a console record player, acting as the "record changer".   I don't know that the TV show ever mentioned an "origin", and I know it wasn't mentioned in the two movies (I haven't seen the direct-to-video movie, and I don't want to).   So I made up the origins, such as they are, of Thing and Lurch and assume that odd entities are drawn to the Family like iron filings to a magnet.   I probably won't say much more about Thing, but there will be more about Lurch in later chapters.

Wow, but that had a bang at the end. Well played, Sir. Well played indeed.

Wow, excellent chapter, although I thought Harry would have been a bit more proactive in getting Malfoy. Waiting for things to go cold, perhaps?

*happy sigh* Thank you for more story. I love this so far, and am eagerly looking forward to more.

Really nice chapter. I'm liking the way you're getting Harry to use both his wits and his talents to get where he wants. I'm thinking Snape enchanted the bludger to test him, but I could be wrong. Snape's sudden politeness seemed a little out of place at the end, but I guess that will be explained in the next chapter.

Thank you for another wonderful chapter in this most interesting story. I like how you kept the 'Dobby' bludger in the story and made it a tracking spell instead. Keep up the great work and I hope you will be able to update soon.

Let me give my standard reply to great/addictive/incredible/all of the above fanfic.

More as soon as it's convenient please. Or if the previous is above a couple months, ASAP please.

It's good. Now give me more fix. ;)

Really good chapter, it was a more subtle version of gathering allies than I thought it would be. I like how you changed professor Quirrell killing Harry attempting to use a Bludger instead of the broom. Seems more dangerous. At first I thought you were combining Sorcerers Stone and Chamber of Secrets plotline.

I also liked Harry making better with Snape I think Snape is realizing Harry is not his father. Or it appeared so to me. One thing though you say Harry and his cousins are doing well in class because they are ahead are they studying for anything other than the basic courses?

Dark arts for example, they don’t seem like they would shy away from darker Curses. Also Harry knows he is a Parselmouth, has he revealed that to anyone else? Will he? Is he aware that his house founder was? It seems unlikely he doesn’t know if he read Hogwarts a History.

There are a few things I think are missing though. One what is going on, are Wednesday, Pugsley, and Harry exploring the castle? Are they making dares with other Slytherins? Perhaps to see what is on the third floor corridor.

Maybe not but now that they seem to be making allies it seems like something they would try. Maybe a group of Slytherins wave them offer asking if they know anything about the third floor. Exploring the castle and forbidden forest if he could.

Will Harry receive his cloak from Dumbledore? Will Harry learn about the Marauders Map? How will he get it if he does?

Did Harry and crew ever learn the Killing Curse? I know they knew the incantation but did they every try it after that?
