Taunting Riddle like they did, and the bit about zombies and brains still makes me smirk just thinking about it. As for your "I wasn't truly happy with Year 2, because it felt a lot like a rehash of year one," Pfftt. I enjoyed it! I can't find anything of yours that I could even possibly dislike.

Pretty much it comes back to the fact that your posting again! You were one of the first authors I could get into, of HP fanfiction that is, others were just average. Starting with TMW and following your evolution from good stuff to excellence has been a privilege that I cherish.

As for the finish of year two, it was time well spent. Can't wait to see what you bring out in year three!

You might not have been happy with this year/chapter, but for me it was the best one so far. Some of it started to 'click' with me.

Whereas I'm a newcomer to the Addams family, and didn't much like the 'pain is pleasure' motif you/Wednesday pushed in the first year, some of the things in this chapter worked well for me. And I got more of an idea as to what the Addams thing is all about.

(I'm still having a problem with Harry and Wednesday's amoral stance, though. 'glorious' or not, the 'damage' that Pugsley believes they would do if they were 'bored out of their minds' - THE POOR DARLINGS - well, ugh. Definitely not nice, really. But I'm happy to learn more, or be educated. Or see them change.)

Lurch appearing - 'You Rang?' - heh. Even I, with my limited Addams exposure, got that one. :-)

I was afraid that the Harry/Wednesday 'scarring' thing would turn out to be another facet of the 'pain is pleasure' motif - which I really don't like, it seems too simplistic/silly - but I quite enjoyed it, it played out well. I got it. And I must be becoming part-Addams, because I *didn't* think that the tea ceremony was overdoing it. Well, I accepted it in my stride, being mid-chapter.

"Five car crash" - heh. Funny, if you don't overthink it. :-) But these Addams folk are a danger to civilised society, you know!!!!!

The Christmas thing was something else that clicked / worked well. Harry and Wednesday's "letting their guard down" - showing a bit of warmth, some affection - was necessary, I think. For me at least. Otherwise I would have disengaged from your primary protagonists. As it is, I'm starting to like them ...

> "For the last few weeks, we've been hearing something. I've just realised that it must have been a snake .."

*groan* That came over as one big lucky coincidence, ugh.

"Please keep your voice down when we're trying to sneak up on a Basilisk" - "Another few years and seh'll be a true Addams" - Heh!!! LOL. Well, if my Hermione can appreciate the Addams and not think them a menace to society, maybe I can get used to them after all!!

Slightly miffed at the inclusion of tagalong!Ginny as another candidate for the Addams clan. I know I'm biased against her, but she hasn't received as much screen time as Hermione (of course, largely due to being a year younger), yet she's part of the growing Pugsley harem/girl pool. It smells a bit to me. Perhaps just my Ginny bias.

Curious as to he to whom the Addams clan bows?

"Mmmm, big brain" -- more laughs!!! Yes, Ginny has a much smaller brain.

Well, I enjoyed the chapter, even if you think it wasn't good enough. Some good jokes and a few lines that quite conveyed the 'Addams' brand of fact/humour which I dimly recall from the couple of television episodes I've half-seen over the years. And a couple of Harry/Wednesday scenes that I was able to accept and enjoy. Thanks for the chapter!

Still one of the better X-overs I have come across. Still getting reruns on Cable here. Different to see Snape in this light. The way H & W are studying suggests that Lily may have had some input into later life. Cheers.

It may have felt like a rehash to some, but when you're rehashing something that won so hard (and rehash so briefly) who cares? Mind you, I don't think it felt like that, but I know what most authors write and most readers read aren't really even remotely the same thing.

Overall, I think year two was a good addition. If it needed anything, it was probably to step away from Snape's POV a little bit more and look into other situations and motivations. Or work Snape into places he wouldn't have otherwise been to add to the background of the story. Motivations to the briefly appearing villains. Less overview and summary (but not much less, since it /is/ an important part of this story's style) more direct implications. Otherwise, take it up a notch and challenge yourself to explain everything that ends up occurring with only the POVs you've already established.

Either way, it was a fun year. More and more insights into the Addams clan, more on Harry and Wednesday which is always a treat, more Snape which keeps working so well in this story and more glimmers of independent thought from British Wizards. Yay.

A good addition. Can't wait for the next part and the beginnings of the real diversions.

Great chapter, I look forward to the next one, its a shame Draco won't be there for them to torment, but there's still Ron and Percy.

Very Good chapter, have liked the first year, and it was good for it to be continued.

twinheart posted a comment on Tuesday 26th January 2010 6:18am

Personally I liked 2nd year...some of the same plot elements, but much more unique, with all the appropriate results and paybacks we all wish had really occurred in the original books. Looking forward to third year and more of Harry's history. Such fun!

This is easily one of my favorite WIP fics right now. It does such a wonderful job exploring the various personalities. And the humor? Oh, my. I was actually laughing out loud and pounding the table a few times during this chapter. I can't wait to see where you take the next chapters, but boy do I look forward to it. Great job!

Despite your own unhappiness with this story, I, personally, did enjoy it, as a good Addams family crossover.

One thing, do me a favor. The line, "Harry's going to defeat Voldemort/the Dark Lord," from Chapter 1 of this story, and several others, please... never use it again.

It's become something of a cliche in your stories'. As have the way the other characters act after someone says it. And it hurts, seriously, every time I read it.

And as I found out on the Harry Potter Fanfic Update thread on The Fanfiction Forum, I'm not the only one who thinks this. Although if they say anything, it probably will not be very polite.

They would bow to Death? Makes sense that the Addams would only bow to Death :)

Nice story, can hardly wait for the next part...

Most Enjoyable! I eagerly await developments for year three...

Don't worry about year two feeling like a rehash of year one, after all, that's pretty much down to JKR recycling the plot of PS for CoS. If you try to preserve anything closely resembling the original plot in your story, then you're kinda stuck with the piss-poor storyline that JKR used...

Cheers... G

I also thought about who Harry and Wends would bow to after reading that phrase. My first thought was their parents, Gomez and Morticia. But why would they, anyway. Hmm..

I actually like Snape here. He just seems so normal/human compared to Harry and Wednesday. It's fun to see him so unnerved. And I should've thought about Draco right off, with the heir business. He was too quiet the whole story prior to that. Can't say I'll miss him when he goes to Beauxbatons on their third year. But he does add a little something to the story, being the most vocal/obvious antagonist to H & W. Other than Ron, of course. If they weren't so stupid, I'd give them props for standing up to the Addams kids. I mean, they are having independent thoughts. Stupid, but independent. lol.

This is a great sequel, improving on the first. Awesome job. I can't wait to read the next one.
