I was alone again, but this summer was worse. I didn't have Draco visiting me anymore.

I hear the doorbell ring. I open it to find Susan in tears. We just got sent home a day ago.

"Susie, what's wrong?" I ask.

"Aunt Amelia...gone." she whispered.

Her aunt was the only living family member left who hasnt been killed.

"Let's talk about this inside." I say.

We take a seat on the couch.

"What happened?" I ask.

"I-I came h-home, and she normally is waiting for me when I get back. B-but this time she wasnt. I looked all over the house for her, and once I r-reached her bedroom, I saw her laying on the floor, d-dead." she wailed.

I hated seeing her like this.

"I took the Night Bus here, because I didnt feel safe. Th-the Ministry is trying to find wh-who did it."

I gave her a hug.

"We can sit here as long as you want." I say softly.

And we did.

The next day O.W.L.S. results came in. Susan did well in everything besides Care for Magical Creatures. She was afraid of most of them. I got mostly A's and E's. I got a P in History of Magic, but that class puts anyone to sleep. I got an O in Charms.

"Yay! We both passed! We have to celebrate!" Susan squealed.

She was in a much better mood, but still kinda off.

"What should we do?" I ask.

"I dunno, let's stay here though. The news about my Aunt traveled fast. We could have a cute picnic!"

Susan loved picnics.

"Sure!"

The weather didnt agree though. It started to rain.

"Shoot! We have to get everything inside!" I say.

By the time we got everything inside, we were drenched. I stepped into the rain, and splashed in puddles.

"Come on, Sue, its fun!" I laugh.

"Okay..." she reluctantly stepped out.

Soon enough, she was having as much fun as me. We splashed and danced in the rain for what seemed like hours.
