A/N: I do not own Harry Potter.

Written for the Snakes and Ladders Challenge prompt "Susan Bones" and the If You Dare Challenge prompt #318: "Fighter".


My family is dead.

They were killed by Death Eaters.

I know they were.

You don't have to remind me.

{This must be how Harry feels.}


It hurts.

It never stops hurting.

They're gone.

They aren't coming back.

I tell myself I should have done something,

But I know there was nothing I could have done.


There is something I can do now.

I can fight.

I can fight for their memory.

I can fight for my life.

I can fight to stop people from ending up like me.

You can kill me,

But you can't crush my spirit.

I am Susan Bones,

And I am a fighter.
