"In two days Allie will turn one year old already, can you believe it?" Rolanda was sitting on the couch in the staff room with Allie on her lap.
"Yes, you little Allie cat. Yes, you." Allie started to laugh.
"I cannot believe that she is growing up so fast." Poppy said.
"You are not the only one." Came the voice of Minerva who just walked into the staff room.
"Mama" Allie smiled and clapped her hands as soon as she saw her favorite person in the world at the door.
Minerva walked across the staff room to Allie and lift her from Rolanda's lap and cuddled her tightly.
"Hello tabby cat, give mummy a kiss?" The older witch said. Ally gave her mother a sweet but wet kiss on the lips, which makes Minerva laugh. She was very clever despite being just one year old. (well, almost)
"Ugh Minerva, why you have to come? I've enjoyed having Allie all to myself for once." Rolanda said with a grimace on her face.
"I'm sorry Ro. Here." Minerva put Allie back on Rolanda's lap and walked towards the staff room door. The girl stare at Rolanda and then to her Minerva, who was about to leave room, started to cry for her and she tried to get out of Rolanda's embrace. Everyone in the staff room was laughing uncontrollably, while Minerva turned and walked back towards the couch.
"Fine, here. You can have her back." Rolanda said as she shifted Allie to Minerva's lap as soon as she sat down next to her.
Minerva laughed at her best friend. Allie stopped crying abruptly when she was in her mother's lap and buried her head between Minerva's chest. Everyone knows that Allie was attached to Minerva. The older witch can claim without reservation that she became as devoted to the child as any mother could ever be. Every staff member knew about Ally's parentage and that Minerva was not the girl's birth mother. But the bond these two shared is no less powerful than any other mother-daughter-bond.

Later that day, Minerva has just put Allie down for a nap. When she came out of her bedroom there was a knock at her chamber door.
She walked across her sitting room to answer the door.
"Oh, hello Poppy, Ro, Mona. What are you three doing here? Come in." Minerva said.
"We would like to discuss the upcoming birthday-party for Allie." Poppy said.
"Yes, of course, have a seat. Anyone would like some tea?" Minerva asked.
All three nodded and Minerva ordered Daisy to prepare them some tea.
As the tea was served they discuss Allie's upcoming birthday party.
"So, what do you think, we should throw the party in the staff room?" Rolanda suggests.
