When they got to the Station, the Gateway to platform nine and three quarters had been mysteriously cut off, and Wednesday heard two boys talking about driving instead. Wednesday thought this a good idea and asked to take the hearse.

Gomez immediately called "that dog woman" and bought the car, whilst Lurch fiddled with the engine to upgrade it to the proper requirements for and Addams car. Grandmama unpacked her catapult – "I told you we'd need it Morticia" – and Fester insisted that she take Thing with her "Because it's dangerous to drive when you're tired".

After about an hour they were ready to go (the catapult was because on its maiden voyage, you shouldn't make a flying car launch itself). Wednesday's trunk was in the boot and Thing was in the passenger seat. Wednesday had already slipped her plain black Hogwarts cloak over her usual black dress.

She waved goodbye to her family and nodded at Grandmama. Grandmama pulled the trigger and Wednesday was catapulted into the sky.

The ride was mostly uneventful. Thing managed to tune into a radio station playing funeral marches. Wednesday smiled.

Halfway through they caught up with the boys she had seen at the station. They were heading slightly of course but Wednesday was sure they would get there. They were flickering in and out of invisibility and constantly changing height. Wednesday leaned out of her window to look back at them.

"Bloody student drivers!"

She came back inside, shocked with herself. "Who would have thought I'd get road rage?" she murmured.

Thing shrugged.

Wednesday shook off the knowledge that she had just seen a hand shrug. Some things were weird even to her.

Wednesday landed in the student car park – it was usually only used by seventh-years, but that was because they were the only ones legally allowed to use a car in this country, there was no Hogwarts rule that said she couldn't park her car here.

She had arrived before the rest of the students, the Addams' had allways been known for their reckless driving and Wednesday was not about to go against tradition.

She joined the other students on the platform; an older girl with bushy brown hair was arguing the existence of Chimney-prone Snorkelwacers with a smaller blonde girl holding a copy of the Quibbler. She walked up to them.

"Of course they're real, my Father keeps them as pets, of course, that was only after he read that article 'Snorkelwacers are your friends'." She stated. (Wednesday doesn't say thngs, she states them.)

"Oh, yes, in the January edition last year, my dad's the editor of the Quibbler you know." Said the blonde girl. She spoke as though she was not talking to anyone other than herself.

"My dad says that magazine is the only decent Magical publication that comes out of Europe. I'm Wednesday Addams." Wednesday heard a few people familiar with the wizarding families of America gasp behind her.

"I'm Luna Lovegood." smiled the other girl, seemingly unaware of the shock the other students were expressing, but Wednesday could see that she was not. She could see that Luna took in everything around her and stored it away for future use. She smiled. She had finally met someone with a similar outlook on life. She could also see that Luna had seen this in her. Luna saw that Wednesday saw that she saw it in Wednesday.

Luna shook hands with Wednesday and decided not to think about what Wednesday saw in her and what she saw in Wednesday, the trains of thought could go on forever.

Luna then shook Thing. She smiled when she realised she now had a friend in Thing, she knew that not many would greet it.

The girls linked arms and followed Hagrid in a boat.

When the rest of the first years were staring in awe at the splendour of Hogwarts, Wednesday walked forward with her head held high, not seeing what all the fuss was about, after all, her father had found way to go punting in their basement.

Hers was the first name in the register of about a Hundred young witches and wizards. She expected it before the Deputy Head stood up and spoke;

"Addams, Wednesday."

Gasps and whispers exploded around the Great Hall, just as she and Luna had predicted.

Addams.

I hear they have zombie, werewolves and even un-nameables in their family.

Her mother just bought Big Ben as a holiday home.

Did you see the front page pictures of her father punting down the Thames?

SHHHHHH!! If she hears you, you're dead.

Addams was the most feared and respected magical family in America, I say magical, for they were certainly not one hundred percent human. When she stepped up a head above the other students, the mutters got louder as they saw Thing sitting on her shoulder.


Ok, I said i would include the morticia and gomez in london stuff and I did. just not the thing with Thing & and union jack hat.

I don't know if I still have the humour I used to, i only just got over a REALLY long spell of writers block with this story. The only new joke i came up with is

"Thing shrugged"

Which I think is awesome.

Wednesday doesn not act like herself in this chapter, this is because she is talking to herself and Luna. She will talk normally (for her) next time, pormise!

I think there's a lot more behind Luna than everyone thinks, so here she is. It was an idea I had after the writers block, so it might not work out. I hope this is funny, please tell me if it is.

I REALLY wanted Wednesday to pass Harry and Ron in the car and criticize thier driving technique. This is an idea i had before the writers block, so hopefully it's good.

Sorry if I disapointed anyone by putting Wednesday in Slytherin, but the Sorting hat had trouble deciding, as you can see.

Someone asked me to make this into a WednesdayxHarry fic. Sorry, but I don't see that happening at the moment.

i see a wednesdayX?? fic coming up tho . . . . . !! (well, actually she doesn't like them back . . . oh well, maybe in Wednesday Addams and the Prizoner of Azkaban when she's matured.)
