"The summer after 6th year I returned home. I knew war was coming, and there were already attacks on families of muggleborns. I knew I would be leaving to help Harry and Ron. I knew that I couldn’t protect my parents, so I did what I thought I had to, in order to protect them. I obliviated them. Removed every trace that I ever existed from their memory. Created new identities for them and intended for them to leave for Australia. I had tickets purchased and everything. I left that day after breakfast, after obliviating them."
