History
Harry Potter fires off a spell during the skirmish with Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle.
Harry, Hermione, and Ron fled there after the Burrow was attacked by Death Eaters, as the Ministry of Magic had just been taken over by Lord Voldemort. Hermione Granger inadvertently triggered the Taboo curse on Voldemort's name, enabling Death Eaters Antonin Dolohov and Thorfinn Rowle to track them down, but the Trio was able to fight them off and clear their memories. A brief skirmish was the result, and it left the café something of a mess, as a table was blown up by Dolohov's Expulso charm. However, the Trio cleaned up a bit before leaving. The waitress who worked there lost her memory of everything that had just happened, as did everyone else upon whom Hermione used the Obliviate charm.[3]
