Susan Bones- New Year, New Hope
A new year, full of promise. That's the way I like to think of the New Year. A time for new beginnings. A new chance.
I'm the type that likes to take something bad, and try to turn it around.
For example: I'm an officer in the MLE Cold Case Department. I didn't start out wanting to do that growing up, but after my Aunt Amelia was murdered the summer before my 6th year I wanted to do something to make the Wizarding World a better place.
That year was hard. My parents didn't want me to go back, but I persuaded them to let me. I mean with Dumbledore there, what could happen. Then he was killed. It took everything to keep my parents from sending me off after that.
I often wondered if I shouldn't have let them send me away though, after the way my 7th year started. I spent a majority of it in the Room of Requirement after defying the Carrows. I sent letters to mum and dad telling them everything was ok. No point in telling the truth. I wasn't leaving my friends.
Those of us in the RoR knew what was coming and trained. When the time came, we all fought in the final battle together and we all lost people close to us. Justin never left my side that night and together we made our way to the Great Hall.
It was there we saw Lavender being attacked by Greyback. We made our way to her and managed to stop the bleeding until help came. Things like that change a person, and it brought me and Lavender closer.
Then life changed again.
I was no longer in school, I was of age, I was attending classes to be an MLE, I moved into my own flat with Hannah...and Justin and I broke up.
I don't blame him. It was like we wanted different things after school. Or at least I though so.
I was still extremely close to the other Puffs in my year, and we saw each other regularly. It wasn't the same though. It was like Justin ans I avoided each other.
Hannah and I completed training- top of our class -and was assigned to the Cold Case department. I love it. I enjoy going through all the old case files and solving old cases that no one else was able to.
I even dated a fellow MLE, Lance, but I kept coming back to Justin. We ran into each other again not too long after Lance and I broke up. We stayed up all night talking and realized how much we missed each other. We took it slow and started dating again and then about 5 years ago, we moved in together. We've been inseparable every since.
Now, with my friends and family, I am looking forward to a great 2008.
