Oy, I don't think they realize just what kind of folk they're engaging. Pity Snape didn't pay more attention to the Sorting Hat. *Snicker* He'll know better before too long, I reckon.

I must say, you story is delightful- I find myself checking for updates daily! You're doing a lovely job with the Addams kids- I only wish things would speed up a bit, so we can see if romance blooms between Wednesday and Harry! Then again, we'd miss all the lovely character building... Aaargh! I can't decide! :)
Anyway, keep writing 'em, I'll keep reading 'em!

Not too bad, you've covered all the traditional interactions setting up the school year, and showed quite well the "Addams" take on Hogwarts. (Especially Filch and his "pretties"; I don't think that anything at all shows better just how the Addams mind views the world than watching the two boys interact with the crochety old man.)
I hope your Muse is still feeling frisky, because I really want to see what happens next with this one. I suspect that Snape and the rest are about to discover just why no one in their right mind wants to disturb the Addams family or attack a family member.
The Hat's right, outside of the Family, the real qualities of Slytherin have largely been lost, I think what is going to happen from this point forward will prove to any intelligent observer just what the true potential of Slytherin is supposed to be. Up to now, the fights have been waged with mauls, Harry and his cousins are about to introduce the equivalent of stilettos, rapiers, razor wire, and sniper rifles to the equation.
Oddly enough, I suspect that the first volley is going to be fired in a direction that Draco could never have considered. I predict that Lucius is about to experience severe difficulties with the Diagon Alley Trust. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see a sudden dip in the rents being charged to merchants, in the spirit of improving commerce by encouraging new growth, as it were. And if other business ventures suddenly experience problems, well it will be just too bad if Daddy Malfoy has to tighten his belt. It will only build character for the family, who should already know how to handle separating necessities and luxuries. }:->

Is there a reference to Fraggle Rock in here?

Nice chapter. Its seems the Addams(and Harry) are adapting well to the school.
I really love the way they treat Mr. Filch, in all fanfics always they treat him like he is evil incarnate, I am sure the Addams will treat him with respect; more now that they know that he have such a nice toys and also some torture stories, he will be like one of their excentric uncles.
Can't wait to see what retaliation will they make to Malfoy and Co. I am sure it will be somehting so Addams it will make him wet his pants and make anyother people think twice before crossing any of them.

Nice. Very Nice. First Potter/Adams fic I have read. Looking forward to the next update.

I can almost feel sorry for Malfoy and his goons, almost. Actually I'm looking forward to the torture I'm sure you've got lined up for them. Nail them to the walls!

"The Great and Powerful Hat has spoken!"
"Headmaster, if you want the Hufflepuffs to take over the world, just say so." LOL!
Okay, I think your Sorting Hat has just become one of my favorite characters. I don't think I've ever read Snape & DD getting a ranting from the Hat before--that's awesome!
The rest of the chapter was a bit of a downer compared to that, but still quite good.
When I saw the chapter title, I thought it was from Tim for a moment, though. That's not nice to do to a guy! :-)
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thank you for another chapter. I am thoroughly enjoying this story. I'm looking forward to several more Snape conflicts and then him getting a clue. *grin*

Snape is even more of an idiot than Dumbledore. He's been told that Harry doesn't have a conventional moral code, and then he sets Malfoy up to get Harry and the Addams Family mad at him? I hope he can come up with an explanation for why Draco doesn't have any hair when he goes home for Christmas. I really liked this chapter, though I could wish for it to develope the story more. Keep up the good work.

Can't wait to see Snape and Malfoy on the receiving end of an Addams Family war - if they are lucky they will look like melted cauldrons.
thanks for an excellent and gripping story.
warm regards

I hope Harry, Pugsley and Wednesday find a way to fix Malfoy and his Goons good!
I am also wondering if there will be anything in your story with Ron Weasley? I really can't stand that git and would like to see the Trio of HPW (Harry, Pugsley and Wednesday) find ways to also put him in his place!
Love the story!

I love how you have strong characters, but you allow them to suffer occasionally. It's not easy to do such with the Addams' but you do well to mix the good and bad in life into a realistic story. This chapter is very well done.

Another interesting chapter. I suspect that before all is said and done, Malfoy and his cronies will be sorry they started anything with Harry, and the others.
Keep up the good work.

Oh My GOD! I don't think I've laughed so much in ages. "I’d be kind of pissed off if I was going to rule the world and had to settle for being a school teacher instead." I admit I never thought of it that way, but it is so Addams. And the detention with poor Filch. The man will never be the same. The topper though, was Pugsley asking to sit next to Longbottom next class for the explosions.
I love this story. Keep up the great work. You have totally nailed the characters. I feel sorry for poor Snape. He won't know what's hit him, and he hasn't even met Gomez and Morticia yet. Can't wait!

Ugh. Unless Harry and company strike back hard, fast, and brutally, they're in for a *long* seven years. And, I suppose, even if they do hit back, because I doubt Snape will take kindly to their retaliating, even (especially) if it's with cause. As far as I can see, their best option is to quietly assassinate Snape as quickly as possible. But, that's why I'm the reader and not the author. I look forward to seeing how they keep themselves sane.

Damn straight! This does mean war. And it will be fun for me to watch. I liked how the boys were having fun with Filch's favorite threat. Ha. Oh, and the line that the Hat said, about Harry being a great Dark Lord to serve under? That is quote worthy my friend. Cheers.

Great chapter! I was snickering when Pugsley and Harry had their detention with Filch. I bet they loved it. Seems Snape and company are idiots like we thought. Malfoy and his thugs are in for it now and if Snape isn't careful, he's going to be in it too. Keep it coming!!
