Dumbledore is too used to the prestigous status of Hogwarts to understand that rich families in the US could quite easily prepare their children for any european private school they wanted to. As well as the fact that the US probably has many magical schools of their own. He is also too used to running Hogwarts like his own personal kingdom... Foolish old man.

I really enjoyed this chapter, especially the parts where McGonnagal discovered that Dumbledore set her up.

You know, I avoided reading this as I felt that two films watched several years ago wasn't much of a grounding in the Adams Family, but I am so glad that gave in and read it! Simply marvellous, very original. I'm glad that Pugsley isn't really a grinning idiot (was that something they made up for the films or something you altered for the fic?). I am looking forward to seeing more of the children and finding out how well they get along with the other children. I can't recall what your general attitude to Ron is, but it would be easy to turn him against Harry, especially if he gets sorted into Slytherin. Although with all the emphasis on loyalty, maybe he'll end up a Hufflepuff! Or maybe not.

My only complaint would be that the children of Charles Adams are not returning to England, they are going to Scotland or Britain. American fanfiction writers are very prone to forgetting that the UK is four separate countries, and that Hogwarts is in Scotland. But then they will be buying a house in an undisclosed location first, graveyard attached...

What are the odds on the Addams family ending up at Riddle House?

Nice, though I'm wondering when Thing will show up at Hogwarts and how the House Elves will respond...

More, soon, please.

I get this wierd feeling that the new Addams huse will be in Little Hangelton... just a feeling mind you ^_\

Wonderful fic mate.

Lovely, fun story :)

Nice to see that there are some who can out-plot Dumbledore, he needs to be reminded that there will always be someone better somewhere - and you just might stumble across that someone when you think you are the best.

On a different note: should you plan another grand Addams-Family-meeting, please consider having the Munsters (old b&w version if possible) attend the party - they would fit in so well into that strage family :)

Keep it up and thanks for sharing.

I'm considering that ... and I can't believe I forgot to put them in the earlier  party! D'oh!   Well, I guess Herman couldn't get off work at the casket factory. I've always seen the Munsters as a more middle-class version of the Addamses, so they'll fit right in.   Not everyone in the family is at the same social/economic level, after all.   I'm thinking about a Sirius/Marilyn Munster pairing ... now I just have to find someone for Remus.

loved the 'negotiations' with DD - can't wait to see what the kicker is in the contract with only Morticia having signed.
thanks much

I'm looking forward to reading about the kids starting at Hogwarts! I wonder what Harry, Pugsley, and Wednesday will think of Snape and vice-versa?

Keep up the great work! I give you 5 stars!

Istar, both my wife and I love this story and cannot wait to see what you do with it. I also love the other stories you have written. Keep it up.

Are you realy going to move the Adams into the Riddle house?I love this story.Thank you for writing and posting it for all to enjoy.

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).

oh they rented the Riddle house didn't they? Lovely chapter.

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.

Ishtar replied:

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.

Cant wait for the next chapter.
and the story has been quite good so far.

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