Luka looked down at the notice in his hand, feeling... The best way he could put it was torn. It was good news, of course. Lucky for everyone involved. He just wished it hadn't come about because her fiance put pressure on Snape to let her move to a halfway house. He'd done more for Pansy than Luka had. What if Pansy decided he was the right choice for her to make? He was the one with money. Luka had savings from when he played football, of course, but from what he understood that was paltry in comparison to the sort of money the Notts had.

He crumpled the notice up and stuffed it in his pocket, walking to Pansy's room and sitting on her bed, waiting for her to come back from hearing the news from Snape herself. She was being released into a halfway house. She'd come back for her therapy a couple times a week, but she didn't have to like under constant supervision anymore.

	"You're not making me feel like it's okay." Pansy told him quietly, giving him a sad look. In fact, he was making her feel completely wretched about getting out. She closed her eyes for a moment and sighed. "Now I feel like I should stay here and not leave you. I feel really awful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stop it," Draco said. He looked at Pansy for a moment and then sighed. "Look, if I got out of here I wouldn't feel bad about other people being stuck here, even if they were the people I liked. I'd just go. So would everyone else. I'm just bitter. I've been here a long time and nothing I do seems to be what Snape is looking for." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Pansy sighed softly and took Draco's hand into her own. "Do you feel like you've actually been helped? Like you've gotten better?" She asked, her fingers moving against his soft skin. "Could you be happy no the outside?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"There's nothing for me on the outside," Draco told Pansy, running a hand through his hair. "There's maybe being the kept boy of one of my father's business partners, but considering he said he was going to pay to get me out of here a month ago and I'm still here, that seems unlikely. There's having my father pressure me to marry a girl and be straight and stop fucking his friends. Cambridge probably not wanting to take me back. No friends who'll be willing to risk the social suicide of talking to me again."

He snorted, looking up at her. "I'm not sure why I want to get out so badly anymore. It sounds about as terrible as staying."

	"I'll be on the outside. You and I could share my flat." Pansy informed him, shaking her head and pressing close to him. "We could be the best of friends. And Luka is going to make me eat take out. So you could eat take out with us and have parties and we could make all new friends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco looked at Pansy for a moment and then shook his head. "Snape's not going to let me out," he said. "Don't get my hopes up. Just... tell me you'll visit. I've at least got some company in here, with Regulus. Until someone let's him out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have to come twice a week for therapy." Pansy looked back at Draco and sighed. "I'm going to fight to get you out. Okay? No getting your hopes up, but know that I'm going to try. You're important to me, Draco." She brushed a bit of hair from his face. (Reply to this)(Parent)
