+**[added on 2020-04-13]**
+
+However, I still cannot get rid of the basic premise of this
+story, because I truly believe this is so good idea. It is just
+such pity that the execution was so horrible. So, let me suggest
+this as a prompt for somebody to write it better (in the same
+manner the author of “`The Accidental Animagus`_” admitted_ that
+it was based on the idea from “`The Natural Animagus by
+wsbenge`_”).
+
+The start of the story could be exactly the same: The Trio in the
+Grimmauld Place found on the Black Family tapestry, that
+Bellatrix has a daughter with Tom Riddle. Then switch to the
+moment immediately after the Battle of Hogwarts and you can
+switch to search for the lost baby, which could make a foundation
+for a good plot (although not very long one). I could happily
+envision it as something similar to “`Hunters and Prey by
+Northumbrian`_”: first large case of young Trainee Auror Harry
+Potter. This one could be probably even better than that one
+because you don’t have to play in rather unrealistic hidden
+werewolf village, but in the real world with realistically
+crushed but bitter and hateful former Death Eaters and pureblood
+supremacists. And it is even more fun because the whole
+investigation is done amongst them, but they cannot have even
+a shadow of suspicion of who that lost girl truly is.
+
+Then you can have the next part of taking care of an abused
+orphan, and Harry with his past would be very interested in
+caring for orphans (an idea which seems to be very
+underdeveloped, the only exception I can think of is “`Inner
+Demons by serendipity_50`_” and also the brilliant “`Dudley's
+Memories`_” and “`Snape’s Memories`_” by paganaidd). I generally
+don’t care about the shipping of Harry in all this, I don’t think
+it matters that much for the story, just if you want to break up
+Harry and Ginny, PLEASE, do a better job than the crazy author of
+this story.
+
+Of course, the premise of the story is based on the idea that Tom
+Riddle could father a baby in the first place. Yes, I don’t
+believe this story (and the Cursed Child, one of many disasters
+of that fanfiction story), that he would be capable of falling in
+love with anybody, and I have deep suspicion even about his
+ability to commit the deed. After all, he truly doesn’t have the
+human body, what he has is the alchemist construct, created by
+two sexually rather inept most likely still virgins; I wonder
+whether his body truly has all bits in the right places. Much
+more appealing (or much disgusting, that’s the same thing) would
+be if Delphini was either just by-product of some dark magic
+ritual (which would nicely lead to her being neglected and
+abandoned), or even intended object (produced by artificial
+insemination or its dark magical equivalent) of some ritual. What
+about the ultimate Horcrux created by sacrificing your own child?
+It would be an opportunity to create truly disgusting dark magic,
+which would eliminate all those jabbers about grey magic and
+acceptability of the Dark Magic.
