Charlotte Blaire was not a lonely woman. In spite of her age and the general lack of marriage prospects in her life, she was incredibly happy and fulfilled. Having done far more in her life thus far than most would in the entirety of theirs, she could not imagine doing anything differently. And yet, when given the opportunity to play the role of “temporary mother”, she never ceased to discover the extent of her maternal instinct and desire for a family of her own. She had not been lying in her conversation with Andrew, when she’d declared so adamantly that watching Cillian for the weekend would be an extraordinarily good time. Though she was a little tired from chasing the baby about and keeping up with his needs, she was having the time of her life.
It was a desire to give the little boy some extra special time that had led her to bundle him up on Saturday afternoon to head out into Hogsmeade. With little to do short of venturing to Hogwarts (which she knew Katie and Andrew did not want), she figured a walk in the fall air and the opportunity to look around in stores would pique the boy’s interest and tire him out for a nap. She’d held him tightly for the first part of their trip, allowing the last remnants of the late lunch rush to die down. Then she’d given Cillian the opportunity to stretch his legs, holding onto his hands and walking behind him as he toddled along the cobblestone, laughing and offering encouragement along the way.
