Rider sat in the common room with his leg hooked over one of the arms of his chair, smoking. It wasn't strictly allowed in doors, but he had a sort of understanding with the orderlies about minor rebellions. He was allowed them, and they were allowed to go about their day as normal without him destroying anything. It was a good deal for everyone involved, he thought. He leaned his head back, blowing smoke at the ceiling. "Fresh meat today."

Thoreau looked up from the puzzle he was doing with Lucy. It was generally best to ignore Rider, but the fact that he had no respect for the rules of the hospital did mean he snooped through a lot of files he wasn't supposed to see. "What do you mean?"

Rider glanced at Thoreau Lestrange and smirked. "A girl," he said. He mimed sticking a finger down his throat and fake-gagged. "You'll have a lot in common with her, Lucy."

Lucy frowned at Rider a little and then went back to arranging the puzzle pieces in neat columns for Thoreau to sort through. "I don't throw up."

"Whatever." Rider looked around at the other crazy people in the room, eyes settling on Pyxis and her tits after a moment. "Maybe you'll get a roommate."

***

Walden waited with Bill and one of the orderlies as Pansy Parkinson's fiance helped her get out of the car. This was the first time he got to help someone enter the hospital for the first time. It was exciting for him.

"Miss Parkinson?" He stepped forward, once her boyfriend had said his goodbyes. "I'm Walden Macnair. I'm a PhD candidate in residence here at Sacred Springs, and I'll be helping you during your stay here. This is William Weasley, our Administrator at the hospital."

"Bill," Bill corrected. He held his hand out to Pansy and smiled. "Mason will take your things for you and you can come with us. We'll give you the tour."

"She's a patient," Luka pointed out, shaking his head. "I'm not saying she's not cute. Maybe if we met outside this place something would happen, but I'm not interested in opening myself up to the problems that could cause."

Walden waited for a moment, but Pyxis was obviously finished after that. He sighed a little. "It's a good start," he told her, and then looked at Thoreau. "Do you want to go next?"

"No, but I will," Thoreau said, shrugging. He reached out and let his hand rest on Pyxis's knee, to comfort her. Their time woud be better spent talking about Luka turning her down and what an idiot he was. "I'm Thoreau. I like to have sex too. I also like to take drugs. Lots of drugs. Whatever's available." He leaned back in his seat and glanced at the two new faces, smiling. "Snape likes to call me self-destructive."

"You're a stronger man than me." Charlie told Luka and then shrugged. "But, sometimes you can't help but like people. You know? And what if she never gets out? Are you supposed to fancy her and not be with her? That would kill me."

Fleur was sitting in the corner, sucking on a sucker they'd given her to calm her stomach down. She rolled her eyes. "Snape likes to call us all self-destructive." She pointed out and then shook her head. "Even when we're not." She glanced at Walden and sighed. "Fine. Whatever. I'm Fleur Delacour, former fashion model. I have body dismorphia, but really, I just have a really ugly nose and chin and no one wants to agree with me. So that makes me bonkers."

Pyxis snorted at that and rolled her eyes. "That is pretty self-destructive. You want to carve into your face." She glanced at Rider. "Why don't you tell everyone how fucked up you are?"

"I'm not supposed to fancy her at all," Luka told Charlie. "And you're not supposed to fancy a patient either. Do you have feelings for Thoreau? That's dangerous, Charlie. The longer people are there, the less likely they are to leave. You know that."

Rider leered at Pyxis across the room. "Why? Because I didn't fuck you when you wanted me to? Just because you have the cunt doesn't mean you get to be in charge." He glanced around the room, eyes settling on the new girl for a long moment. "I'm Rider," he said. "I killed an arsehole who was better off dead and they couldn't really blame me for it, so they put me in here."

"Rider. Don't deliberately try and scare the people who are new to group," Walden said firmly, glancing at Luka and Charlie standing in the corner, just in case.

Rider rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair. "I'm not trying to scare anyone. It's the truth. I've been diagnosed with psychopathy."

	Charlie shrugged. "Well. There's nothing I can do about it." He told him and then opened the door to where the group discussion was already going on. Pansy hesitated for a moment, then frowned at Rider. "Then you deserve to be in here. I don't." She informed the room and crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't look at me when you talk about killing someone." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Why don't you tell us why you're here, Pansy?" Walden asked, looking at her. "I think it's good for people to open up on their first day in group. You seem like you're ready to talk."

"Does she?" Rider looked her over. "Your eyes must be failing you, Walden. She looks more like she's ready to scream to me. Or maybe puke. That's why you're here, isn't it? Because you can't keep your finger out of your throat?"

"Leave her alone, Rider," Draco said, looking up at him and frowning. "She just got here. She shouldn't have to deal with you already."

Rider looked at Draco and smiled. "Why don't you tell everyone why you're here, Malfoy?" he asked. "I'm sure we'd all like to hear about the poor little rich boy with daddy issues again. Is three years enough of an age difference for you to suck my cock, or do I need a teenage kid before you get on your knees?"

Pansy frowned at Rider. She stood and walked over to where he was, then held out her hand to him. "It's so good to meet you, Rider. I'm glad that I've been forced into this hell hole where I'll be in the presence of you every single day."

She shook her head. "I'm Pansy Parkinson. My mother likes to put me on elaborate diets and my fiance doesn't think I should be on one. So he shoved me in here." She looked back at Walden. "There is nothing wrong with me." She slapped Rider across the face, hard, then took her seat again.

Rider thought about lunging for Pansy and grabbing her. He could get in a few good hits before the orderlies dragged him off of her, but she was new. He'd have time to teach her better. He laughed instead, reaching up to rub his cheek. "I like her."

Draco found himself warming to Pansy a little more too. Anyone who had the courage to slap Rider Macnair as well as Pansy's breeding was impressive. He smiled at her, reaching out and touching her hand. "I think that's your free shot at him."

"Pansy," Walden said, trying to get control over the group again. "I understand your frustration, but this exercise works best if everyone manages to keep control of themselves. Okay?" He looked at Draco. "Do you want to introduce yourself, Draco?"

Draco looked at Walden and shrugged. "My name's Draco. I was originally hospitalized for a breakdown brought on by depression."

Pyxis snorted at that and shook her head. "Come on, Malfoy. You and I both know that you have the same thing I have. Well. One of my things." She told him, running her fingers through her hair. "Tell everyone how much you love to suck cock."

"I love to suck cock." Radley pointed out as he looked around. "I mean, that's part of the reason I'm here. I fucked Draco's dad."

"What?" Draco stared at Radley for a moment and then frowned, trying to ignore Rider laughing beside him. "My father isn't -- he wouldn't waste his time with someone like you. I'm sure you're confusing him with somebody else." He felt like hitting Radley or throwing something, but there were orderlies here and he really did want to get out of here soon.

Thoreau laughed softly, giving the new boy a considering look, now that he'd admitted he liked sucking cock. "Group just got way more interesting."

Radley snorted and shook his head. "I'm not mistaken. Your father did waste a lot of time on me. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot." He shrugged. "He fucked me up pretty badly, honestly. He was just another person who left me in the end, though."

Pansy took Draco's hand into her own and shook her head. "You're very rude."

"Everyone in this group is rude." Pyxis pointed out and then leaned against Thoreau. "The sooner you learn that, the sooner you'll figure out how to survive these things."

Rude didn't begin to cover it, Draco thought. He wanted to slap Macnair. Draco's father belonged to him. If Lucius Malfoy was going to fuck up anyone, it was his son. Not some stranger who claimed to have slept with him.

"Lucy," Walden said loudly, trying not to show how frustrating it was when they got out of control like this. He could see Draco wanted to leap across the circle and make Radley take his words back. "Lucy, why don't you share with the group and then we'll start partner exercises?"

Lucy nodded, straightening her skirt hem. "I'm Lucy and I have OCD and I suffer from disordered eating brought on by the lack of control I had in my life growing up, and the belief that things would improve if I made myself meet some arbitraty guidelines." She paused, glancing at Walden briefly. "And... I have dissociative identity disorder as well."

	Radley glanced at Lucy when she began to speak about what she had. He listened to it and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, looking her over. "What's that mean? What is dissociative identity disorder?" "It means she's crazy." Pyxis replied and smiled at Lucy. "It means there's two Lucy's in one body." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lucy tried to ignore Pyxis saying she was crazy and concentrate on how nice Radley was being. She frowned at Pyxis a little. "I'm getting better," she told her. "I haven't had an incident in almost two months."

Thoreau glanced at Pyxis and then at Lucy and the new boy. "Are you sure about that?" he asked. "You're still here, aren't you? There must be something wrong."

	"At least she's trying to get better." Radley pipped up and looked at Lucy. "I think you'll get better some day. And I've just met you." He leaned in and kissed her cheek. "I'm sure the other you isn't bad." "I like the other Lucy." Pyxis told the group as she pulled her knees up and picked at her nail. "She's pretty amazing. Not nearly as sweet."

"She's not another me. I'm the only real me," Lucy said firmly, frowning at Pyxis. Radley was really nice, even if he might be gay. She just wanted to enjoy being around someone who was nice. She shifted, so she was just looking at him. "I hope you don't have to meet her."

Walden sighed. "Let's split into partners," he said, clapping his hands together. "Lucy and Radley, you can work together. Pyxis and Draco. Thoreau and Fleur. Pansy and Rider. Okay?"

"Well. She's part of you." Radley told her as he looked down at her. He felt kind of protective over her. She was like a little kitten. "And I want to meet the other part of you. If I don't, that's fine too."

There was a collective grumble in the room.

Pansy stared at Walden, then looked at Rider. "This is not acceptable." She informed Walden. "Why would you make me work with him?"

Pyxis rolled her eyes. "Suck it up, princess."

"I hope you don't meet her," Lucy told Radley. "But... I guess if you met her it wouldn't be so bad. You're different from Pyxis and Rider. They're... They indulge her."

"You have to meet everyone eventually," Walden told Pansy. "Rider's bark is worse than his bite. There are people supervising all the time. You'll be fine."

Draco rolled his eyes, then squeezed Pansy's hand. "If you're lucky, he'll need to be medicated before the session is over. Don't worry about it."

"What are we supposed to do in these group things?" Radley asked as he looked down at her. "Just... talk?"

Pansy looked back at Draco for a moment, then sighed and walked over to where Rider was. "I don't want to talk to you." She pointed out, sitting beside him.

Pyxis sat beside Draco and rolled her eyes. "When are you getting out?" She asked, looking him over. "You said you were getting out, didn't you?"

Fleur sighed and picked up the magazine she'd been glancing through, sitting beside Thoreau. "I hate this group." She informed him. "Do you want to read cosmo?"
