"Do not obliviate me!" wept the muggle.
"You will be oblivated," said Lucius.
I watched this exchange. Truly, I believed the muggle would be obliviated. It was a muggle, and in the Wizarding World it had no rights. Perhaps in the Muggle World, in its permissive society, which distorts the true roles of all beings, which forces both muggle and magic-user to go unhappy and constrained, which forbids the fulfillment of wizard and magicless, such might not happen. Perhaps there, it would not be obliviated. But it was in the Wizarding World now, and would undoubtedly feel its true place, that of muggle. It was muggle. It would be obliviated at will. Such is the way with muggles.
