"That's what they all say!"

Kumo posted:

Draco asks Harry to use his position as Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic to shut down gossip that a Time-Turner was used to allow Voldemort to impregnate Astoria, Draco’s wife, who gave birth to Scorpius.

He asks for a statement to be released confirming the Time-Turners have all been destroyed, because his son has such a hard time being bullied about it.

A year later, Theodore Nott, one of Draco’s old Slytherin colleagues, is arrested and discovered to have in his possession an illegal Time-Turner—they do still exist.

Hermione, the Minister of Magic, tells Harry he needs to get on top of his paperwork as he hasn’t been tracking giants, werewolves, and trolls, who all seem to be on the move. Harry is still a great wizard but he just can’t bring himself to study the files.

[...]

Harry denies that he has a Time-Turner. Amos’s niece Delphie gets talking to Albus, as they both listen in from the stairs. Albus is intrigued by this older girl with silver and blue hair and she suggests he visits them at the nursing home where she cares for her uncle.

Hahaha. Draco getting cucked by Voldemort via time travel?

Harry having Hermione, his boss, yell at him for being poo poo at his job?

A mysterious new girl at school with silver and blue hair?

harry potter was always a really stupid series where a gun would solve all the problems in like 10 minutes and it always had a really stupid fanbase that try to play magic flying broom rugby without magic flying brooms but just regular ones

so this being poo poo and people eating the poo poo willingly shouldn't be surprising

Harry Potter fans are flipping their poo poo about this all over the Internet. And so what if the production is good and the acting is spectacular or whatever. It doesn't matter if 99.9% of fans won't be able to see the play so all they have to go on is the god awful abortion of a script.

also I was totally going to guess Harry's son was gonna be gay but was surprised that wasn't the case (or was it??)

It's bad because it's a total non-sequitur plot. Not because a magic wand can generate 350 megawatts but in scene 3 line 12 Harry does something that would clearly require 500 . Tactical realism is bad and overplanned magic systems are bad

Lol, no, messing with timelines means that an author doesn't have to generate a new villain, new characters, or (much of a) new plot. This poo poo is fanfiction with a hollywood budget.

The HP series was entertaining. Not in a homemade bbq sauce kinda way, but in an HP Sauce over a dece cut of meat kinda way

Hey, Hermoine, you know what? You know about how much any of us should give a drat about werewolves and trolls right now? On a 1-10 scale of giving a drat, about a 5, maybe 6. That, versus time machines that could literally uncreate every single person currently alive or that will ever be.

The only thing I can think of is that you've got some sort of insane level of racist hate against werewolves, trolls and giants to make THAT the priority of this Ministry.

So, is the rumor that Voldemort went into the future, to a point after his death, specifically to get Astoria pregnant, or that Astoria went back in time because she'd rather have a fling with Voldy than Draco?

Don't wizards believe in muggle DNA testing? Or casting a "Paternicus Illuminatos"!
