Very nice, though it was not obvious that they were permitting Snape to overhear their conversations. You did not specify where they were having it, and certainly they would not really be (could be?) ashamed, but still it would perhaps not be for common consumption.

I like the thought of the unforgivables as a summoning charm but despite all evidence of the technical capability in DH and the like, they never seem to have that ability in canon.

Hmm, after wondering whether Harry destroyed the real stone too easily, I started wondering which of the Addams would best like a cursed half-life though the use of unicorn blood. It sounds just up their alley, you know, just to have such a life.

Please continue.

What a warped story... but still much better then 'Famly Values'. Of course I just can't get enough of it. Harry and Wednesday are just so mature and scary for a pair of eleven year olds it makes me wonder what the future will hold for the rest of us.

As always - I look forward to your next chapter.

You have made all the players your own in this chapter, well done. Very well writen as always, and you are looking at parts of mankind that are not normaly looked at. Why some enjoy pain,killing, mountian climbing, firefighting, ect is a question most do not even see.

Woha,

I've read now a few of your stories and up to now I liked HOPE the most (a brilliant pice of work btw.) but this tale has the potential to become my Nr. 1 from you.
Keep this amazing work on going, please.

Kind Regards

Shadow

Really, I was reading your author note and I couldn't imagine how someone can complain of too much of the Adams family! They are one of the best parts of the fic! I love them!! =)) (Honestly, they make me laugh like crazy!)

I really liked how you are already divergimg even more from canon! I hope to see mmore of it soon!

I don't think you're very subtle about being subtle. Nor do you characterize Albus well. You're too eager about your ideas, and that rushes the events of the chapter.

Even so, it was magnificently entertaining.

Bravo! For my birthday you’ve given me a wonderful glimpse into the deliciously dark warped psyche of my favorite Addams, the delightfully precocious Wednesday. I can picture her maliciously smiling while holding a blooded axe.
Gifting Harry with her tears was a stroke of poetic genius. A macabre warm-and-fuzzy; now where did I leave that ball gag. . .
N!

wow this story is wondrous please i beg you update again a.s.a.l.a.

Well, I found this chapter much more enjoyable and entertaining - due to the increased interaction between the Addams children and the school/Hermione, I think - although the pain/pleasure thing threw me off. Are the Addams all sadists/masochists or whatever the term is? Yoiks.

> "I go to school alone, make a few friends, get betrayed by authority figures, lose people I let into my heart, and then I die, and win, and end up in a dull marriage with stupidly named children. It’s a life full of pain, suffering and misery."

Yay! Another anti-DH HP fan I see! :-)

Quirrel/Voldemort revealing themselves in the Great Hall like that just didn't make sense to me. What was the possible benefit/advantage to Voldemort to expose himself? He knew he was weak, and would be facing Dumbledore, Harry, plus the Addams family. It did not compute in my opinion.

I think I enjoyed the most the growing thread of respect/camaraderie between Hermione - representative of we 'normal' folk - and the Addams kids, with Wednesday and Harry actually talking to her, answering their questions. I felt their doing so brought them down from the high horses I felt they were riding until then and made them just a bit more likeable. A bit closer to this reader.

"constructive Pugsley-ism" - heh. :-)

Thanks for the chapter!

Ok, I must admit that I thought a pairing of Harry Potter and The Addams Family was the lamest idea - but I now stand corrected and extremely enthralled. I have loved your other stories and figured I would give this a chance and as always - you are the master! Can't wait for the next update.

While I like the chapter, I just don't feel you did Voldemort justice. He seemed foolish and unintelligent. Your story has potential, but the antagonist will drag the story down to the depths of hell if you make him as retarded as he was in this chapter.

I like the interactions between Harry, Wednesday, Pugsly, and Hermione. I feel that part of the story is well done and the characters are captured better than in Ishtar's version. However, I stick by my earlier statement that the antagonist you showed was highly disappointing.

best line from a fan fic. ever.

I...wow...erm....

I don't quite know what to say. That chapter was excellent, but I will never be able to watch "the Addams Family" in the same way again.
The part with Lucius was lol-worthy, as was Flamel's entrance and Gomez and Morticia swanning off to Azkaban for a holiday.
More please!

I had to wait until this point to comment simply because I didn't know enough of where you were going. This is a great job....
Though I'm not as familiar with the Adams Family as I should be, I can see where your characters are and can guess a bit as to where you may be taking them. More importantly, I think I understand where they're coming from a bit and, for fear of sounding a bit too much like Wednesday, look forward to the agony and ecstasy that will come in finding out whether I'm right or not.

Uh, how much of a role will Hermione have in this fic?

Never thought of an Adams Famaly/Harry Potter x-over, but now...*smile*
Really a great story

"Snape sat down with the other three Hogwarts Heads of House and the Headmaster in the Headmaster’s office..."

Ack! Alliteration! Please tell me you didn't do that on purpose, did you?

By the way, I don't know if the themes that you dealt with in this chapter are a reflection of your own philosophy or simply made up to create an Addams's family vibe, so to speak, but I found it rather curious that I happen to agree with a lot of what Wednesday said to Hermione... With the difference being, perhaps, that my views of the world do not go to such an extreme sadomasochistic degree.
