    It's a theory I've had for a while, I think I got it in my head after seeing it in another show or book, can't be sure at the moment, but the theory was that children born of love potion, e.g. for those who don't get what I mean, the mother drugs the father and makes a baby, or the opposite, will have trouble understanding love? I get that the only baby we know of in the HP universe like this would be Tom Riddle, but it kind of makes a little sense.

    Thoughts?

    If your only purpose in joining DLP was to make these useless speculative threads, then you shouldn't have joined.

    I thought Riddle didn't understand love cause he was never exposed to it. He grew up to then see it as a weakness

    Rowling has already claimed all of this as retrospective justification for how Tom Riddle became a douchebag.

    Were you born under the effects of a relevant-post potion?

    Hmmmmm... how about a plot bunny...

    Epilogue compliant: Harry's children aren't the cute little kids he always wished for, but heartless monsters, torturing their pets, other children, and every muggle they come across. Harry wonders why and starts to investigate the situation. Is this the aftereffect of him once hosting a part of Voldemort's soul? Or is there an entirely different reason?

    hmmm....a Minion inspired plot bunny....

    Ron's children aren't the cute little kids he always wished for, but ridiculously heroic kids who always seem to find themselves in the most lopsided fights in history and still manage to come out on top. Is Hermione correct when she says he is just jealous of his children being more famous than him? Or is there another reason his kids all have messy black hair and green eyes?

    Oh god, I can just imagine a great parody fic with all of the most obvious clues that everyone just happens to be oblivious to. Make it happen, Harvest King. Even better, both your plot bunny and Minion's could be combined, for great justice.

    It isn't rape if she thanks you afterward.

    (Sorry, couldn't resist. Been reading Ayn Rand again for the giggles).

    "Wow, look at the kids fly. They really take after their old man, don't they?" Ron said, smiling at his wife.

    "Eh, yes. You could say that..."

    This needs to be written, Harvest King. Do it.

    Yeah...I'm not a good writer. This is especially true with comedy. I'd have no clue where to start. If it was a serious story, I'd attempt it even if it turned out bad, but comedy is another beast altogether. It'd be fun to read so if anyone else wants to write it...

    Children born under the effect of love potions will have this same love potion streaming through their blood. Everyone knows that.

    Didn't you know that Voldemort had an Oedipus Complex? Wasn't that the reason he killed his own father? He was just jealous he got to bang her mother while she was still alive.

    Who on dlp is badass at comedy? I can't believe someone asked that on a forum with nonjon, vlad, aaltwal, big d, etc.

    What's that? You're going to go start working on the next chapter of Contemplating Clouds? It's about fucking time!
