was that really SUSAN BONES? it’s been a long time since that HALFBLOOD wore the HUFFLEPUFF colours around the halls of hogwarts. i suppose the whispers of muggle borns swearing they saw KAT MCNAMARA were about them, which does make more sense. so tell me, is it true SHE works as a DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL MAGICAL COOPERATION EMPLOYEE? i suppose there’s no better way to make the most of their EMPATHETIC and RETICENT nature. funny how time flies, i remember our first day and hogwarts and now they’re TWENTY-ONE years old.
hey guys ! i'm louise, the latest person ever with this intro but i never had a minute to breathe until now. i am so excited to play susan and i'd love to plot stuff with you all, please hmu !
okay so susan grew up with parents that were always looking over their shoulders to ensure that they were safe. her grandparents, uncle, aunt and cousins had all been killed by death eaters during the first wizarding war and the bones family were high on the list of families that were to be killed by voldemort's orders, so things were shaky and not... nice.
of course, as a child susan was never burdened by this knowledge but she could see the worried expression on her father’s face whenever aunt amelia ever visited. her mother took her on trips around england’s wizarding areas as well as muggle whenever things seemed tough and susan soon grew to love the sights that she had become used to in her adventures with her mother.
her father did his best for them and susan adored both of her parents and never asked for much. she always visited her aunt whenever she could, finding amelia’s tales to be exceptionally interesting. she would occasionally get to see her muggle grandparents, who loved her just as much as she loved them.
it wasn’t until susan was older and headed to hogwarts when she learned the truth of her family’s past with the death eaters. the fact that most of her family had been wiped out was horrifying and susan found it extremely difficult to understand how anybody could be so despicable to try and destroy an entire lineage, and the thought of them being murdered broke her heart.
as we all know, she was sorted into hufflepuff ! susan is an extremely kind, generous and understanding person. she loved her house and the people in it, and would honestly do anything for a fellow hufflepuff. she’s very loyal to those that she cares about and will stop at nothing to defend and protect them.
however, when growing up in hogwarts, susan struggled a lot with her shyness, and she was easily used as a doormat. people always got her to do things for them because she was too nice to say no, and was scared of what retaliation would lead to. susan was the type to stay out of the way, more of an observer than a participator. it took her an awful long time until she was strong enough to look after herself and to defend other people too.
her mother passed away in the same year as her aunt which was a heavy blow to susan. her heart was shattered and she essentially became a mess. people were constantly coming up to her and asking about her family, which only made things more depressing.
she thought an awful lot about her life and the way she was treating herself and letting others treat her. now, she has grown resolute in a way that only someone who has lost as much as she has, can. susan is now extremely independent, living in a flat in london, with a secure ministry job.
susan is now in a better place than she was, with a heart of gold and is closer to her father since he is now the only family that she has left in the wizarding world. she’s looking out for herself and anyone else that needs it, and hopes that now after the war finally being over, she can build a positive life for herself and pick up all the pieces that both wars shattered.
