To...@ Katy- you do know your JKR, don't you!!!<br /><br />To be honest, I didn't think of Tonks as a candidate, though she could well be one. Grandchild, so her mother could have been placed with the Blacks- unlikely, but why not.<br /><br />When I was writing the story, I had in mind four possible candidates - the three you mention (Hermione, Cheevy brothers, and Lily/ Petunia), and Molly's seven kids.<br /><br />Of the lot, which was my favourite candidate? Apart from the poetic justice in it being Lily Evans, I actually was thinking of the Cheevy brothers. What are the odds that two Muggles produce TWO Magical kids?Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-48427671354507596942010-09-08T07:48:07.474+01:002010-09-08T07:48:07.474+01:00Whether LV is a virgin or not is a surprisingly in...Whether LV is a virgin or not is a surprisingly intriguing question. I always imagined that in his altered state he became less and less human so any desires he had would have changed with him. I have to agree that the choice to have a child would be as calculated as any other choice in his life he would have some reason for doing it. His choice of bedmate might be different than the choice of who he would have be the mother of his child. I think he would either pick someone with a great family line because Voldy jr. would have to be what he himself wasn’t or he would chose someone from similar circumstances as himself like he did in choosing to go after Harry before Neville with the prophecy. <br /><br />My first thought was Hermione. Seeing as her story is the best known to the Muggles. I know it is unlikely but how about Tonks (She was a Hufflepuff so that fits the not being the house of either ancestor.) I can’t see the Blacks taking a child in that wasn’t their own but if they had any idea of her lineage they might want to have a Slytherin/Ravenclaw child. Of course she would have had plenty of Muggle blood which they would object too and I can’t see Dumbledore leaving a child with the Blacks (but them again he left one with the Dursleys) but it would explain Andromeda’s difference from the rest of the family. <br /><br />But it does say grandchildren so that could mean a family in which we see more than one of her decedents. As mentioned the Crevey’s could fit the bill but not a lot is know about them other than the fact that they were Muggle-born, excitable and in Griffindors. The Weasley’s could also fit because we know about all the Weasley children to some degree and four of them quite well (I didn’t count Percy because though we know him for all seven books we never learn as much about him as Ron and Ginny or even Fred and George.)<br /><br />Another obvious choice would make Lily the child and Harry the grandchild. Or more perversely Petunia the child and Dudley the grandchild. Dumbeldore does have a history of leaving Wizard children with Muggles. <br /><br />I have given this entirely too much thought. <br /><br />I want to know what your four theories were and which was your favorite.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492281835259366460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-8394893781748289712010-08-28T18:41:37.659+01:002010-08-28T18:41:37.659+01:00Sorry about the delay in getting back to you :-(
...Sorry about the delay in getting back to you :-(<br /><br />@ Cold As Heaven- except, he got his thrills in other ways. Perhaps he never needed sex.<br /><br />@ Tina- didn't know you were a Potter buff too. And I think I can make a calculated guess what the two of you disagreed on.<br />Thank you for your comments on the story- it is one of my favourites, though when I now read it, I can see all the flaws I never even noticed then.<br />Molly's kids and Hermione were two of the contenders. Lily Evans was a third (her mother was the daughter), and Colin Cheevy's mother was the third - there must be some reason both brothers were born magical.<br /><br />@ ViolaNut- yes, we do need Hogwarts: A History. If not the whole thing, at least some parts of it- the parts that would give us something to talk about.<br /><br />@ Hart- thank you. And we did pull out all stops, didn't we?<br />Not McGonagall- wouldn't she be too old to be Riddle's daughter- I think I calculated her as being almost a contemporary.<br />Luna would be a great candidate, but I like that he heir of Syltherine AND Ravenclaw not be in either of the two houses.<br /><br />@ Amanda- between you and me, I agree. I just wanted to play around with the idea of his not being a virgin, and see how far it could go.<br /><br />@ Lee - I am sorry if I misled you. We are a bunch of Harry Potter geeks, and keep religion out of our discussions because we don't want to inadvertantly offend.<br /><br />@ RosieC- thank you. And I am pretty sure he was one too- he wouldn't have wanted to risk losing control.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-12462024781294576442010-08-27T22:47:57.088+01:002010-08-27T22:47:57.088+01:00That's awesome!

The red leads to the Weasley family...perhaps Molly is Voldemort's daughter. The adoption of the daughter leads me to Hermione, who ended up a powerful witch in a muggle family...perhaps the powers skipped a generation to her, and her parents had no idea her birthmom was the daughter of Lady Rosslyn...I'd love to hear your pet theory.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-46868030768890157042010-08-26T18:43:11.438+01:002010-08-26T18:43:11.438+01:00Don't know how I missed that you had another b...Don't know how I missed that you had another blog...but this was delightful.

It's the miracle of JK Rowling which produced an ending that made both of us right :-) Now I'm off to read your story.
