Venus.

"You will be going back home in the next few weeks Venus." Jessica smiled as I shifted in the chair. The smile plastered on her face made me feel uncomfortable, it's not her, it's that I know when I get out I am going to go to manny and through withdraws.

"Yeah I am exited- to see my family." I mumbled as she tilted her head in concern. I couldn't tell her I was feeling this way because I have already been in here for Merlin knows how long and I am not planning on staying longer.

"What's on your mind?" She asked playing with the plastic pen in her hand as it tapped on the notebook.

Tap.

Tap

Tap. "Please stop with the tapping, sorry," I mumbled as she perked up in her seat removing the pen from the paper. I let out a sigh as she waited for me to answer her previous question "I just am worried that they are going to be mad at me."

"Okay, and why do you think that Venus?" She wrote down something as the plastic pen scraped on the paper collecting all my thoughts in that notebook that's almost filled.

"Because I am a drug and alcohol addict." I scoffed sitting up more as the sun started to show more as the bright light poured into the room bouncing off of the golden books and plaques.

"Venus, I know that you think that but your family won't be mad at you, they will be happy to see you. Elaborate more on that- if you don't mind." She smiled as she put the pen to the paper waiting for my next response.

I walked out after a while when we were done making my way to the cafeteria and seeing the time 1:59 as I lined up behind the brown curly headed girl that just got admitted. Her brown hair bounced off of the light as I looked down. She stepped forward as I followed.

"Venus Malfoy," jackie smiled "day?" She announced as she poured the regular pills.

"Good I am supposed to be leaving in a little bit." I huffed as her head looked up.

"Oh I am so glad to hear that Venus." She handed me the cup as I nodded walking off and to the water station downing the pills. I was walking past the couch when the girl spoke up.

"Hi! Um sorry, I just got here and I don't know you seem nice." She laughed as I backed up from where I was walking and turned my head smirking as me and the girl met eyes. Her eyes were blue, ocean like.

"I look nice?" I laughed as she picked at her white clothes.

"Yeah I mean um I just don't really know anyone here and I thought I could- you know what never mind." She huffed turning away but I quickly reached out turning her back around.

"No it's fine, me and my friend Dylan are sitting outside, care to join?" I asked holding my hand out as she blushed walking out from the couch and beside me.

"So, what's your name?" She asked as I turned to her opening the metal doors and walking outside.

"Venus Malfo-"

"Malfoy? You mean your father is Draco Malfoy?" She looked stunned as her hands held her hair from falling in her face. She looked a bit like Hunter.

"Yeah my father is Draco Malfoy. What's your name." I shrugged turning the corner.

"Roxanne Weasley." She smiled as I turned to her in confusion.

"Wait which Weasley is your father?" I asked as we approached the tree that Dylan was sitting at.

"George Weasley and my mother is Angelina Weasley." She said awkwardly as I shrugged sitting down next to Dylan.

"Who is this." Dylan smiled as the air flowed through his hair smiling. Roxanne sat down against the tree but I sat across them both so I could see them.

"Roxanne." She smiled.

"What are you in here for." He picked at the grass as she shrugged.

"I like to use." She sighed as I nodded.

"Yeah Me and Venus too- but Venus aren't you getting out like next week?" Dylan said as I nodded. "I am going to miss you."

"Well at least you two have each other." I smirked in that way as Dylan laughed but I looked at him confused.

"I don't do girls." He looked down as my eyes went wide.

"Oh sorry." I breathed as he laughed again.

"Totally fine, but me and Roxanne still have each other." He nodded as I shifted my position laying down on the grass, taking in the sunlight and grass that tickled my arms.

March.

"Come on let's go." Luna walked into my room.

"Wait you are taking me home? Isn't that like not allowed?" I stood up as she giggled.

"I pulled a few strings, now let's go." She grabbed my hand and already had my old clothes from the day I was taken here in a plastic bag. She led me out and past the yard. Me, dylan and Roxanne already said goodbye yesterday so I didn't feel bad.

She led me to the bathroom as I changed and walked back out. We made it to a parking lot. Luna aparated us out and in front of my home. I let out a heavy breath as my home was in front of me, for the first time in a long time. I was happy.

The white home has changed, a bit. There were flowers on the sides and they changed the porch color from white to grey. Luna pushed me in front of her as I took steps on the grass I was taken from. I made it to the steps as I took each step as my breathing got heavier and my hands started to shake.

"Oh Venus!" Mum cried as I looked up seeing my mother who was outside now and hugging my body tightly. I cried in her arms as her head buried in my chest. I looked up for a moment seeing my father standing at the door.

He walked over pulling me into a hug "thank you dad." I smiled as he pulled away smiling too and nodding.

"Are you okay?! How is everything?!" Mum pulled away patting my body down making sure I was real.

"Yeah I am okay. I promise." I smiled as she took me leading me inside.

"Your mum has been crying all day waiting for you to be home." Dad huffed as he towered over me but mum kept leading me into the kitchen.

Treats lined the counter "We are so proud of you v." She smiled as dad nodded too.

"Thank you." I breathed and I finally felt good and happy being with my parents. I wasn't worrying about anything in the world right now but this moment with my parents.
