Chapter 6
Harry and Hermione loved the Addams house, they loved the family, they loved being away from Chippawa, but mostly they loved spending every waking second with the Addams kids. Sady all good things must come to an end and soon enough they were back at camp. But before they were sent back Hedwig was off giving Sirius and Remus permission to enter his vault and get a portkey to Hawaii, Hermione had gone ahead and booked them room in the same hotel Fester and Debbie were at. The goblins who did not care for wizarding affairs, and thus had no qualms about Sirius black entering Gringotts were more than happy to grant the portkey to them.
Remus had brought wolfbane with him preferring to kill conscious, but sadly did not rip Debbie apart. Though he did report smelling burning flesh, But Fester turned up just fine. "Her murder attempt has failed," Harry reported in a deadpanned tone.
"Wow I guess Addams blood, much like the Potter's really does keep you from dying," Hermione said in slight amusement. "I'm glad you gave us all blood runes," she said clutching hers which was on a ring.
"you're my family, it's no fun if one of you dies without me." Harry said holding Wednesday's hand and they walked down to the archery range. All of Harry and Hermione's makeshift family had blood runes he had carved for them on some type of jewelry. Harry had learned about the magical properties of blood in his first year and upon making his family imbued jewels with his own to keep them safe. He had done a blood ritual with Hermione that made her his blood sister, but the physical differences wouldn't come to her until she turned 16. The runes themselves made them hard to kill but not impossible. the ritual made Hermione just as invulnerable as a blood born Potter.
They were in line, for archery as Wednesday read out the post card from Fester, ""Dear Wednesday and Pugsley, I love you dearly, but I can never see you again."" an awkward boy struggled and basically gave up handing the bow to Pugsley ""When you are grown-up and very lonely, you'll understand. Love, Uncle fester,"" there was a beat of silence. "He's a dead man," she said as mournfully as she could muster.
"Not to worry beloved, Remus and Sirius will be following Fester and Debbie while they can."
"Go!" Gary snapped at Pugsley, so he loosed an arrow and a second later they heard a bird squawk.
Harry and Wednesday turned and saw that he had somehow hit an eagle, "It's an American bald eagle!" Becky ogled.
"But aren't they extinct?" Gary voiced his amazement and confusion.
"They are now," Wednesday deadpanned.
Hermione looked at her brother and whispered, "we should help it."
"No" He answered somewhat sorrowfully, "It's too late, for the Bird and the species."
Harry notched an Arrow and loosed it hitting dead on the bullseye. "I'll discard of the bird."

Hermione had not stopped pouting for a good hour. "Sister why are you pouting," Harry asked as the four sadistic teens sat behind the bleachers while Gary and Becky spoke to the campers. They were hiding.
"I wanted the bird."
"Sister I know what you really wanted and that bird would not have been your familiar," Hermione just whined at her brother and leaned her head in Pugsley's shoulder.
Wednesday was very interested, "You have a familiar already?"
"Yes, a few of our family does already but not many. Though we just don't call on them much. mine usually stays with me but I didn't want to subject her to this hell hole."
"I though you couldn't claim a familiar until at least 15," Pugsley added.
"You usually don't which is why I keep telling her its fine, you have Crookshanks," she mumbled something along the lines of 'not a familiar.'
"What is yours?" Wednesday asked eagerly.
He smiled, "A pure blue viper snake. Shes not highly venomous but I love her all the same. Her name is wisp." Hedwig made a low swoop to Harry holding a letter in her beak clearly addressed from Sirius, before Wednesday could speak again. "They visited the mansion where Fester and Debbie are now," this perked up Hermione and the Addams kids leaned into read over Harry's shoulders.
"Pastels? that can't be right," Pugsley noted.
"It says there's a picture, pull it out." Wednesday ordered.
Harry did as told and gasped horrified dropping it quickly as if it burned him. "I think I've just gone blind," Hermione started at it disgustedly both Pugsley and Wednesday were horrified.
"What has she done to him," Hermione gagged.
"What about the rest of the letter," Pugsley asked.
"They went to meet your parents; they got along very well but they also got a letter about Fester never seeing them again."
There was a moment of silence, "I trust Sirius and Remus to take care of things, but we should also be on the look out." Hermione suggest. There was a unanimous agreement from the rest, that was the right course of action.
"And as their leader in the secondary but still compellingly written roles of Pocahontas and Running Bear, guess who we have in mind. Our own little brunette outcasts-- Wednesday Addams and Harry Potter," said girls eyes widened, she popped her head up from behind two boys her eyes wide and terrified.
Harry was frozen in shock, "Hermione Taze me."

"Morticia perhaps you should allow me to hold the child I don't trust that woman as far as I can throw her," Sirius offered glaring at the house. "And if she gets out of hand Remus could still bite her the small bit of lycanthropy should be enough to kill her in a few days' time since she's a Muggle."
Remus rolled his eyes at his best friend and co-parent, "he's got a point Tish" Gomez agreed with a nod, Morticia handed over Pubert. With the baby securely in Sirius' arms Morticia rang the doorbell.
A maid answered the door, "we want to see Debbie and Fester." Morticia got straight to the point.
She calls for her which Debbie Immediately corrects her on how to be addressed.
"Remus, Sirius... Where are we?"
"It looks familiar. Of course-- the gates of hell." Grandmama said.
"No that was my parents' house which was more appealing than this. I'm sure this is Lucifer's castle. Either him or Rowena's." Sirius quips.
Debbie appears at the top of the staircase, "welcome to my home." She doesn't recognize the two extras, but the man on the far right, who has amber eyes with a feral look in them scares her a bit.
"Might we see my brother?"
"No. He doesn't want to see any of you or that," She points to the baby whom Sirius immediately shields as if he were Harry.
"Why not?" Morticia sked in a soft hurt voice.
"Because he's in love. He's wrapped in a gossamer blanket of ecstasy, and he hates your guts."
Gomez was not having it "But why?"
"Because you've flaunted yourselves, your great love affair. You kept him a child. I've made him a man."
"Let me hear this from his own lips."
"His lips are busy. You want to talk to these people?"
Remus saw her push up her breast, "she doesn't have any magic though," he muttered to himself.
A harsh "Go away!" from behind an arch in the hall, startled Remus's sensitive hearing. He scrunched up his eyebrows and looked to the plants behind him.
"That is not my brother!"
"Sorry."
"You have enslaved him. You have placed Fester under some strange sexual spell. I respect that. But, please, may we see him?" Morticia begged
Remus ripped a flower off a plant closing it in his fist and poured his magic into his low whispers. He turned to the matriarch of the family, "You're going to curse her right?" She nodded. He opened his hand letting the flower flitter past Debbie scaring the living day lights out of her. "Let me see that skull then." She handed it to him, and he took a knife out of his pocket and carved into it subtly.
"D-don't even think about it!" she stuttered now positively terrified as it was confirmed that this man was no mere mortal.
"You have gone too far. You have married Fester. You have destroyed his spirit. You have taken him from us. All that I could forgive. But, Debbie..."
"What?"
"Pastels?"
She was blatantly offended now, "get out of my house!" Remus made quick work off cutting his fingertip and dropping some blood in the rune. "Hit the road! And if you ever show your faces around here again, I'll have you locked up for trying to visit," he handed the skull back to Grandmama after it glowed red in half completion of the spell. "Right, Fessie?"
"Right!" the flower flitted back down to him.
As the rest of the Addams and Sirius and Remus pilled out Grandmama walked up to Debbie "Luxor, nexor, burst, and burn!"
"What is she doing?"
"Just a curse. Have a nice day," she patted Debbie's hand after handing her the skull.
"Remus what did you do?" Sirius asked with a smirk as he handed the child back to his mother. The rest of the Addams looked it him in curiosity.
Said man smirked, "Blood seal, I figured once this is all over either Fester will want to kill her or one of the Addams themselves as opposed to letting her get away. I'll do the other half later and key it into torture charm so you can choose when she dies and how painfully."
This made Gomez feel a little better and he hugged Remus tightly, Remus being a werewolf and having a Potter rune from James's from the 70s, was unhurt. "You truly are one of us," Morticia smiled.
"Seeing how Harry and Wednesday are I say we might be family one day best make a good impression."
"Whether that happens or not you are already family," Grandmama suggest. Leaving the werewolf and the animagus to just smile.
Remus opened his hand and the flower slowly morphed into a picture of Fester who had been shielded from their eyes, "That doesn't look right at all," Sirius winced.
They all looked over at the picture, needless to say Sirius was left to catch Gomez limp body as he fainted.

"Harry, are Fred and Geroge In charge of your estate at the moment?"
"Oh no."
