[HPforGrownups] Hermione's parents (was Re: A Sense of Betrayal )/Luna's Creepy Father

 Magpie:

Here's the whole scene [Sali: which I've now snipped]:

'I've also modified my parents' memories so that they're convinced
they're really called Wendell and Monica Wilkins, and that their
life's ambition is to move to Australia, which they have now done.
That to make it more difficult for Voldemort to track them down and
interrogate them about me--or you, because unfortunately, I've told
them quite a bit about you.

***

End canon.

I'm not sure what scenario you meant. I said that if Hermione talked
to her parents--and that wouldn't even mean telling them everything--
they might agree to certain protections of their own free will.

Sali:
I'm not saying here that I disagree with you. I did also interpret it as
Hermione had done it to her parents rather than ask permission. But reading
the quoted text literally, it doesn't actually say that she didn't ask
permission or discuss it with them. It doesn't say she did either. I took
the implication that she didn't but I think it's possible to assume
otherwise.
