We managed to keep the children from finding out. She was overwhelmed to see Cedric. Wept all over him; it brought tears to my eyes. And then she gave me a proper tongue lashing for not letting her know. Then she gave me a tongue lashing for keeping it from her, too. Cedric was absolutely wonderful with her.
She agreed that it probably isn't safe to say anything to Amos, and so the bolt hole was the option they settled on. She didn't want to be obliviated; I can't imagine she wanted to forget that her son was alive.
I gave her some calming potion in her tea (with her permission), so that she can face Amos tonight without completely falling apart. I think it will be difficult for her to keep the secret from him, but she absolutely knows why it's important. And she'll do it.
