Susan's Story
By: Starr
*******************
Ashley Bones ran her fingers through her long red hair and smiled at the baby in her arms.
"Bathtime, Susan," she said, carrying the infant down the hall into the bathroom. She turned on the water, took off Susan's outfit, and set the baby down in her baby bathtub. Ashley reached for Susan's shampoo and began to rub it into her daughter's hair. Susan giggled and cooed.
Just then the back door opened and shut.
"I'm home, Ash," she heard her husband, Shawn, call.
"I'm giving Susie her bath," Ashley called back.
She heard Shawn's footsteps come down the hall. He came in and sat down on the edge of the counter.
"How was your day?" she asked as she wrapped Susan in a towel and dried her off.
"Awful. There was an attack on the Prewetts today. It was horrible. I don't really want to talk about it." He gave her a kiss and stroked his daughter's hair before leaving to go fix dinner.
Half an hour later the Bones family was sitting down to dinner when Susan began to cry.
"Shh, darling. Don't cry. You get to spend the night at Grandma's tonight. That must be her now." Said Ashley. She went into the living room to greet her mother and give her the baby. Once Susan and Grandma had both flooed away Ashley returned to the kitchen to spend a romantic dinner with Shawn.
****************
The next morning Ashley's mother found them both dead on the floor. She wondered how this could happen. Shawn was an Auror, Ashley was a new mother. They didn't deserve to die. And yet they did. So it was with a heavy heart that she returned home with her baby granddaughter.

Ten Years Later
"Susan, hurry up or you'll miss the train!" I heard Grandma call from downstairs. I dragged my trunk down the stairs to the front door where she was waiting for me.
"Do you have everything? Robes, books, parchment, quills?"
I nodded. I picked up my owl and handed her to Grandma. I grabbed onto my trunk and Grandma Apparated both of us to Platform Nine and Three- Quarters. I gasped as I got my first view of the Hogwarts Express. Kids and parents were everywhere. Steam was billowing from the huge train. I barely noticed as Grandma took my hand and led me over to the train. We stowed my stuff in an empty compartment then said our goodbyes.
"I can't believe you're already off to Hogwarts. Your parents would be so proud," Grandma said. I kissed her goodbye and promised to write everyday. Then I hastily wiped my eyes before she could see the tears threatening to fall.
I returned to my compartment and waved out of the window to Grandma. The train began to move and I waved until she became just a blur in the distance. I was finally off to Hogwarts!

I hope you like this story! I own nothing except Susan's Grandma, but I made up her parents names. Everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling!
Please review, but no flames please!
