Sooo... what's the endgame?

 

Secretly the whole thing was just justification for there finally being a fic without any Hermione in it at all. A total novelty for the fandom.

 

Canon rehash without Hermione and Finch-Fletchley?

 

Damn! That's an extreme measure just for the sake removing one character.

 

But Hermione is the Heir of Ravenclaw and Morgana Le fey so she is secretly pureblood and her parents are squibs whose magic was bound by and evil Dumbledore, because He needs to steal all Harrys money.

 

Dammit! You stole my idea for a fic! (Well, you and every other bad writer on ffnet.)

 

If purebloods no longer had to fear muggleborns entering their world, Voldemort is going to have a difficult time finding willing recruits to his cause.

 

You know guys, you may have missed it in the text, but all the muggles in the world are now incapable of having children.

Not that I'm saying anything, but this could very well lead to the extinction of humans, given that wizards don't really have the numbers themselves.

At best, they'd have to start crossbreeding with more veelas, goblins, etc.

And no, it wouldn't be a canon rehash. The simple fact that there's no Hermione already changes this, but we also have a different Harry here.

This Harry grew up loved by the Dursleys, he grew up near the Weasleys and near the Lovegoods.

He's going to have a completely different personality. He's going to make different choices and end up having different adventures.

 

Somebody saw "Children of Men". Seriously, the story even starts around the same time (15 years after people stop having children).

As for what happens: are Wizards working on finding a cure? Seeing how they already admitted what happened to the Muggle leaders, it shouldn't be that much of a stretch to imagine that the best Healers are working on a cure. Hell, I could see some places even attempt to have some sort of Muggle/Wizard cooperation for a cure.

 

Well, yes, you can bet your ass that wizards are working on a cure. But just because they're working on it doesn't mean they'll succeed. This is Voldemort's work after all.

If I were to write this, I'd have the virus be a type of a living curse which will stop working the moment Voldemort is truly defeated with his Horcruxes destroyed.

So, if we assume that Harry defeats Voldemort in 1998 and ends the curse, we will still have a world where the muggles were incapable of having kids for 23 years.

 

Little did Voldemort knew, the muggles turned to human cloning and genetic engineering in absence of children. In cooperation with a muggleborn scientist, they discovered the magical gene, and went to create an army of super wizards, trained from inception to fight Voldemort's forces. But how would our heroes react to those super wizards taking over the magical world and giving control to the muggles?

 

Lol, this isn't the pet peeves thread, friend

 

You overestimate Voldemort too much Xandrel.

 

Hey, I just rolled along. Plus I kinda sorta included your initial idea in my fic (see end of Chapter 7).

 

Hence why I stated at the very beginning that it is an alternate universe.

The POD could be a Voldemort who's simply more knowledgeable about these types of curses.

 

Heaven forbid we power up any of the characters in our fanfiction.

 

Okay... so basically defeat Voldemort and everything's fixed. You know... how about this? There was a prophecy that a muggleborn would defeat Voldemort, which would give him a motive to use the virus. Several years after the fact a muggleborn somehow found its way into the world. Now we have a plot point I doubt has been explored before. Harry can still be the BWL, but not the one who's actually destined to kill Voldemort. It can be a nice twist to the tale as Voldemort's actual reason for using the virus is revealed. You can have Harry mentor the muggleborn kid and have him be a father/elder brother figure.
So what do you think?

 

Bitch, please.

LOL!

What we have is a world where the only reasons teens still fear fucking like animals is STDs and getting caught (neither of which seem to ever loom as large in their minds as the specter of pregnancy), and religious prohibitions against sex probably lose much of their potency in the face of worldwide infertility and the revelation that magic is real.

I can just see the month after Harry defeats Voldemort, where 1 in every 3 teen girls suddenly turns up pregnant because, after 23 years of practically guilt-free fucking, no one was expecting the cure to arrive and the party to end with absolutely zero warning and no injection or other medical treatment involved.

Actually, with so many muggles willing to hop into bed and not consider diseases, just because they no longer fear pregnancy, it wouldn't be hard to imagine that the muggle world is currently swamped with the fallout of a tremendous 23 year rise in the numbers of STD carriers... or maybe even some new disease that reared its ugly head after the 'party' started.


Another thing to wonder about is if some muggle governments (or groups within governments, or wacko fringe groups) got it in their heads that maybe they could still have kids, as long as the other person were magical.

Maybe they try cooperating with wizards to see if this would work... but more than likely they think, "Fuck these wizards, they caused this!" and simply run snatch and grab ops to kidnap likely subjects and see if muggle men can still impregnate witches, or if wizards can impregnate muggle women.

And, if they can, what are the results?
100% squibs?
100% brain dead?
100% soulless, ravenous, flesh-eating, beast-children that are born able to leap about like jungle cats, breathe magical fire, and throw lightning bolts when spooked?

No matter how you slice it, the Wizarding World wouldn't appreciate these experiments if they were discovered.

What if the goblins discovered that the curse/virus doesn't interfere with muggle reproduction when there's a goblin involved on one end or the other. How many humans would shrug and say, "It's either this or extinction."

That could lead to a massive explosion in the (half-)goblin population: Something that the magical community would probably find very disturbing, possibly frightening (and, among death eaters, entirely unacceptable).

And if it only works for the muggle women, you end up with a lot of muggle men angry that they're being thrown over by their significant others, just because some women are desperate enough for motherhood that they're willing to have "half-monster" babies with the "fuckin' C.H.U.D.s."

Hell, it might even give the racists among the magicals something they actually agreed on with the muggles: "Better the muggles reproduce and at least turn out a few halfway decent magical babies, than to flood the world with half-goblins."
