Since I almost never liked time-travel fanfic, I was disappointed to hear it's such a central point in the new book.

Also, I was shocked to see Draco claiming "do you know who else had no one Harry?! VOLDEMORT DID AND SO DID I GROWING UP!"

Wasn't Narcissa's love for him crucial in HBP and DH, leading her to betray Voldemort and save Harry's life? She begged Snape to save Draco's life too.

\\ there's a rumor that Scorp is Voldy's son

Completely ridiculous. Scorp was born long after V's death and for all 7 HP books, we have never seen wizards having easy access to Time-Turners or explaining any mystery by linking it to time travel.

Also, Voldemort, as we've seen him, would be much more likely to kill Astoria rather than sleep with her, being an asexual representation of evil. Being uninterested in children suits V for another reason too: since he wishes for immortality, he has no need for heirs.

JKR shows time and time again she has zero respect for her own bloody canon, lol.

The Malfoys are a tight-knit family, they love each other, that's a key point as you say! At the very least, NARCISSA's love for Draco is beyond refute.

The Voldemort thing is being taken out of context, I believe. From what I gather, it's just what's rumored at school, kids being the mean bullies they are. As Draco's son and a Slytherin, that's the sort of nonsense they WOULD come up with. :/

Still, the rumor really doesn't speak well of "All it's well" WW.
Without any wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff; Astoria was 16 years old when Voldy was finally destroyed. So, speaking only about the age difference and not just about Voldy being well Voldy; it's still extremely squick-y.
The fact that kids in WW are so willing to believe it troubling.

Over a long series it isn't surprising to see contradictions. But it should be small details - not MAJOR PLOT POINTS!

It IS completely ridiculous to 'believe' Scorp is Voldy's child. Aside from the idea that one can use a TimeTurner to go 'forward' in time - something never even discussed as a possibility in canon - this rumor would mean that you could move forward into a time when you are dead. One would think that if one tried this, one would end up dead as well ( ... )
