Susan Bones (b. 1979/1980) was a half-blood witch and a Hufflepuff student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1991 to 1998. She was a member of the prominent Bones family, a family with strong connections to the British Ministry of Magic.
Most of Susan's extended family, including her grandparents, uncle, aunt, and cousins, were all murdered personally by Lord Voldemort during the First Wizarding War, and her other aunt Amelia Bones was murdered by Voldemort in July of 1996. In her fifth year, Susan became a member of Dumbledore's Army, an organization taught and led by Harry Potter. Susan fought alongside her fellow D.A. members in the Battle of Hogwarts.
Biography
Early life
Little is known about Susan's early life, other than the fact that she was born to at least one wizard parent, and presumably named after her aunt Amelia's middle name. Susan came from a largely magical family background and also a rather powerful and respected family.
Due to her family's position, they were sought after during the First Wizarding War by Death Eaters, and a large majority were killed. Susan was born in or around 1980, a year before the war ended.
During the 1990–1991 school year, the year before Susan started at Hogwarts, her aunt Amelia had her personal assistant at the Ministry sent to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries with Spattergroit; since she was assigned a seventh-year Hogwarts student in the Ministry of Magic student programme to replace the assistant, she found it easier to spend more time with her niece.
Fifth year
Susan: "My aunt says you can produce a fully corporeal Patronus. Is that true?"
Harry Potter: "Er — you don't know Madam Bones, do you?"
Susan: "She's my auntie. I'm Susan Bones."
— Susan Bones asks Harry about his Patronus
In 1995, Hogwarts was to be under the watchful eye of the Minister and his personally appointed Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge. Umbridge worked with Susan's aunt in the Ministry, and both served on the court for Harry Potter's trial. When Umbridge came to Hogwarts, she ensured that no practical defensive spells would be taught in her lessons, despite the claims that Lord Voldemort had returned. Thus, she did not teach anything worth learning.
With the students looking for a teacher, and Harry with the best knowledge of defensive and offensive spells, Hermione Granger proposed the idea of allying to learn spells and rebel against Umbridge. This organization would be called Dumbledore's Army, and Susan would become a member. During the first meeting, Susan was curious to know whether Harry could produce a corporeal Patronus, a fact which she had been told by her aunt; when Harry asked if she knew Madam Bones, Susan confirmed the familial relationship.
Harry later gave lessons on Patronuses, but it is unknown whether Susan produced one or what form it took. Later on in the year, the Death Eaters who murdered her uncle Edgar and his family escaped from Azkaban, the wizarding prison, and many students questioned Susan for information about this.
After the Death Eaters' escape, Susan told Harry that she understood how he felt, knowing that the person who had murdered his family was at large and constantly being asked questions about it. Harry finally had someone who could almost relate to his state of mind. Susan was pestered throughout the year by students asking about her family and its murdered members, which she found distressing.
On top of dealing with the murders of her family members, this year was also her O.W.L. year at Hogwarts, which left her in even greater stress as she attempted to keep it all together and do well in her exams.
Also, on at least one occasion, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle took it upon themselves to bully Susan, making fun of her aunt and complaining that she was interfering with the Ministry of Magic's agenda. They went so far as to take her wand, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to come to her aid. The trio dueled the two Slytherins, defeating them and forcing them to leave Susan alone. Susan got her wand back and learned about the D.A. meeting in the Room of Requirement.
At the end of the year, Susan was among the D.A. members who came to Harry's aid when he was attacked on the Hogwarts Express by Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, her own erstwhile bullies. Susan and her friends all unleashed a volley of jinxes and hexes, which reduced the three to gigantic slugs.
Battle of Hogwarts
She rejoined Dumbledore's Army, which had been reformed in a protest against Snape and the Carrows, and fought in the Battle of Hogwarts alongside members of the D.A. and her professors.
She was most likely in the Great Hall during the second half of the battle and witnessed Harry Potter's final defeat of Lord Voldemort and, therefore, the end of the Second Wizarding War.
Post-War
Susan always knew what she wanted: a husband she loved and a family to call her own. She married a pure-blood wizard and her former classmate, Richard Raven whom she had two children. Richard started dealing in dark magic, and Susan told him to stop. However, it did help only for a while, but Richard joined the Death Eaters, and Susan decided to leave him completely.
Personality
Susan was known for wearing her hair in a long plait down her back. In 1996, Susan splinched herself whilst practicing Apparition, and in doing so, she lost one of her legs. However, Susan was able to have her leg successfully reattached by the Heads of Houses, but the ordeal left her confidence somewhat shaken.
“Luckily, when I become a healer, I’ll be able to help you out with all of your accidents.”
Magical abilities and skills
- Defense Against the Dark Arts: Susan was a member of Dumbledore's Army in her fifth year and learned how to cast many defensive and offensive spells under Harry Potter's exemplary teaching.
- Dueling: Susan had a level of skill in martial magic. Striking preemptively, she and her friends cursed Draco Malfoy, Gregory Goyle, and Vincent Crabbe with a variety of dark charms that made them resemble slugs. She also fought in and survived the Battle of Hogwarts along with other students.
Relationships
Family:
Parents
It is unknown what relationship she has with her parents.
Aunts
Amelia Bones
Not much is known about the relationship between Susan with her family. Susan was a member of the Bones family, a family of many great witches and wizards. The Bones family supported the Order of the Phoenix during the First Wizarding War. That was the reason why most of them were murdered by Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
Susan's grandparents, her uncle, Edgar, his wife, and their children were all murdered. Amelia Bones, who participated in Harry Potter's hearing, was Susan's aunt. They seemed to have a close relationship until Amelia was murdered by Voldemort in 1996.
Friends / Allies:
Dumbledore's Army
Dumbledore's Army was an organization founded by Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger, and led by Harry. Susan became a member during her fifth year, to be taught Defense Against the Dark Arts by Harry, as Dolores Umbridge, the new D.A.D.A. professor, didn't teach them how to properly defend themselves, thinking they would oppose the Ministry of Magic.
Susan became a member, along with her fellow Hufflepuffs Hannah Abbott, Ernie Macmillan, Justin Finch-Fletchley, and Zacharias Smith. Susan shared a dormitory with Hannah Abbott (a fellow Hufflepuff) and was most probably invited to join Dumbledore's Army by her. She may also have been a close friend of Ernie and Justin. It is unknown if she was a friend of Zacharias, too. Susan and her fellow housemates (except Zacharias) fought for Hogwarts at the Battle of Hogwarts.
She was very impressed by learning that Harry could cast a Patronus, and she also told him how she felt about her relatives' deaths during the First Wizarding War.
She also seemed to be a friend of Seamus Finnigan, with whom she shared a boat during her first year and was often seen talking to him in lessons and in Dumbledore's Army meetings.
Other members of the army she possibly knew are Ginny Weasley, Parvati Patil, Lavender Brown, Dean Thomas, Padma Patil, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, Alicia Spinnet, Angelina Johnson, Katie Bell, Fred and George Weasley, Colin and Dennis Creevey, Terry Boot, Anthony Goldstein, Michael Corner, Cho Chang, and Marietta Edgecombe. The majority of them fought at the Battle of Hogwarts, and their fate is ambiguous.
Enemies:
Draco Malfoy's gang
Gregory Goyle: "My father reckons your aunt's a troublemaker, someone will teach her a lesson!"
Susan: "What do you want? Harry! Hermione, Ron, hey! Please, help!"
Vincent Crabbe: "Aw, look, they've come to save their little friend."
