Yay, another update! Good thing Draco is gone and Lucious is gone too! Ron and Percy are idiots aren't they? Hey can you write out the Dursleys punishment for how they treated Harry? I wanna see them get punished. Can't wait for year three! Hope to see Remus and Sirius in it.

A question?

If you follow the canon events even if they are not in the time they were, Will Harry be Heir to both Potter and Black houses?
Won't that require two wives?

What I'm getting at is Don't forget Luna here. She would meld well with how Harry & Wednesday work.
What I mean is if you remember the classic Star Trek Episode where the 4 of the crew go into an alternate universe?
Well Spock was very much the same Spock and worked well in either Universe. I think Luna can do the same! Just a thought!

I can see Harry & Wednesday bowing only to Death Incarnate, other than in social situations where it is considered polite, for example studying in Japan, where they would bow to their teachers.

You'd expect Riddle to have a more nuanced view of the difference between Dark and Evil.

And this kind of writing is why I *LOVE* your work! I just hope you eventually get back around to Wild Horses!

Interesting year, I look foreward to more of this! I just love the Addams as you portray them, any hints where I might find more good Addams fiction? ;)

Awesome, simply amazing!

Unique work, well written and just simply fun. Looking forward to year three and reactions all around with bringing Sirius into the mix. Wormtail doesn't stand a chance with these two but their availability to him will be somewhat limited. Should be good.

I very eagerly read this story when Ishtar was doing the writing and then she apparently dropped the story and I was so disappointed. Now I get it back. Year 2 better than ever and I am loving every chapter and eagerly read it when it is posted. Thank you for picking up this story and giving it new life so that I can enjoy the whole story.

Will year three be in a different story or will you follow it up with a third chapter? I really enjoyed reading this.

Good work.

SQUEEEEEE

Damn good story and am glad to see ya back up and about in the writing game. While i like all the authors here you are my fave and the main reason I came to this site. Please keep writing and letting us read your work. After all not only have you brought us your good work but given us the chance to find some of these other authors we might not have otherwise.

This is a true Jeconais.
Brilliant and funny.
I just wish I could do it half as good.

"Did Harry seem even slightly injured by what happened?" - Yes, he appeared injured and spent the night in the hospital wing - in canon, this happens when he's injured. Wednesday hurt Lockhart, but she wouldn't have if Lockhart didn't hit Harry. Had the curse just bounced off Harry or something, Harry would have been as cool as he is portrayed, and Lockhart would have been arrested for firing the curse. Wednesday could have hurt Lockhart just for firing the curse too. So basically, the author has compromised the character and the suspension of disbelief to have a moral justification for violence committed by an a priori amoral character.

"There are other ways of inflicting change." - change should not be inflicted, like pain. It can, however, be incited.

"Put your head together with Hermione and Ginny to come up with something they can sign" - Hermione on the first week of her second year and Ginny on the first year of her first year at Hogwarts? A couple of genius lawyers, for sure!

"then suffocate you slowly for a month" - it keeps the victim hydrated and not unconscious from hunger? Clever curse.

You've ruined the story by trying to make your characters more awesome. You're supposed to be experienced enough to not fall into that trap. The word "kimono" means the story is not salvageable anymore. You may as well have Yakko, Wacko and Dot walk onto the stage and address the audience.

An Addams family crossover was the perfect opportunity to off Molly Weasley, and you blew it.

"Professor Sprout, Longbottom, go and start raising some Mandrakes." - Neville wasn't a herbology genius in second year.

"It was an incredibly Slytherin thing to do." - bring a hundred people and rush the thing? I have no words.

FAIL.

This was enjoyable and interesting. I like the way that Harry and Wednesday simply blasted school house boundaries apart. It is funny how their disregard for normality has shifted so many people's views. Looking forward to the next installment.

I love your version of Harry, Wednesday and the rest of the Addams.. When I read this story I picture the movie version of Wednesday and Pugsley but definately the TV version of Gomez. John Astin was perfect for that role.

I can't wait for the next chapter!

Thanks for the updates

I think that Harry and Wednesday would only bow to Death himself, although how are you going to add the Hallows into this is going to very intresting to read, with Harry/Wednesday becoming the Masters of death what would that mean then?.

VERY interesting second year. After Lockhart's destruction, Umbridge is sent in...and promptly gets hammered (by Severus Snape, of all people), leaving Flapped!Staff in his wake (especially Minerva). Umbridge tries to retaliate with a Blood Quill, and against Wednesday. Major error, that. (Two errors, actually; however, Umbridge herself only made one.) Harry nearly unleashes a magic storm, and only the intervention of Gomez and Morticia calm the Furious!Harry down. We find out who made the other major error - Wednesday herslf; she LET Umbridge force her into using that Quill. Pugsley forces Wednesday to realize her goof, and, in typical Addams fashion (Japanese, actually), she apologizes to Harry. (Think samurai, or one of the older yakuza clans. No agai, but not for the squeamish.) Fudge sacrifices Umbridge, and it's off to Christmas, where Harry gives hearts' desire presents (including taking away Severus' Dark Mark). Mrs. Norris is petrified, and Hermione (who is not petrified herself this time) figures out that it's a basilisk. It's not Ginny with Tom's Diary, but Draco. (Ginny herself is under Addams watch; specifically Harry and Wednesday. Wednesday, in addition to Harry, even got Weasley jumpers at Christmas.) Harry and Wednesday (along with a good two-thirds of the school studenta, Severus, Filius, and Dumbles) head down to the Chamber, where the basilisk is taken down in VERY short order. (Even a basilisk bigger than Hagrid isn't proof against over a hundred Stunners, followed by a cannonball to the gut, followed by dynamite in the hole the cannonball left.) Draco is saved, but his rep is utterly toast, along with his family jewels. Gomez' press leaks find another victim (this time, Lucius Malfoy can't avoid Azkaban; the evidence, some of it from Draco's own mouth, is way too damaging). Tom Riddle's reputation is actually in even worse condition than Lucius' is - somehow, all the sordid details disgorged by Shade!Riddle in the Chamber show up in wizarding photos in the Prophet. (I can hear it now; "Lord Voldemort is a WHAT?")
Bad for Narcissa; and worse (in fact, MUCH worse) for Bellatrix and the Carrows. (UNless you have another explanation why Bellatrix is the way she is? She is still in Azkaban at this point; will she get wind of what hapened in the Chamber?)

Thank you for such a wonderful story. So completely different from almost everything else you or anyone else has written, but so startingly consistent within its own world.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you very very much for this latest installment. We have all missed you in the last few months and are glad to see your most excellent work and the redesigned site!

I liked the second year :-) but on the other hand I loved the first year too so a slight rehash of the first year is still really good in my opinion, not that I completely agree to that it's a rehash of the first year.
Great work overall. Personally I'd love some adventures of the Addams family during the summer or something :-)
Really looking forward to more. The only one I cam imagine them bowing to would be Death (the Grim Reaper), but I didn't spend that much time thinking on it.

I actually did enjoy Second Year, they made Riddle as well as Dumbledore look like fools. Heck, Wizarding leadership in general was made to look foolish. Wonder if Hagrid will transfer his blind devotion from Dumbledore to the Addams family now that he's been cleared. Love the total destruction of the Malfoy famil as well, they really don't get it. Looking forward to third year, say, did anything come of the Black/Pettigrew situation or did Dumbledore ignore it as usual even after it was proven he knew about the Secret Keeper switch? Well, hope to learn soon, keep up the great work!!

I don't think you have too much reason to be unhappy about this year, the thing is the first year the novelty, of a let's just call them smart harry with friends was there and as you so aptly showed just simple reasoning would've made most of the years events doable even for a 12 year old.

Now you had to continue on the path without making it tedious and since I can honestly say I enjoyed it immensely, I'd say job done. :)

Hi
Love this story, and many others, so thought i would finally tell you. Today brought about an amazing confluence of events that led to me enjoying this chapter more than any other. It arrived on a friday, though i suspect the others did as well. I had enough other updates to read that by the time i reached this one i was finished with my afternoon coffees and ready for a red, or three hence the elaboration, finally i received a belated christmas present of some cadbury roses. A very good night for me indeed. So in closing I really love all your stories but this one in particular. A dark but an ambitious Harry. Only interested in personal improvement and while you may feel the story seems to be repeating itself I personally found it interesting and entertaining. It isn't often that a writer can maintain a characters system of values and still have me unsure of their reaction. So good work and keep it up.
Thanks
Aku
