"Come on, Ven, what's wrong?" Ed said gently, leaning against the door frame.
"Lisa's dead. They got her, Craig and the kids." she said between shaky breaths. "The last thing that tied me to the world. My last true friend, killed by Voldemort" she hissed out the last word. He rushe over to embrace her, but she stopped him with a flick of her willow wand. "I found a way to escape this god forsaken place though" she said triumphantly, placing a gold locket around her neck, and looking aroud at her dark prison "So I'm leaving. I'm going to a new place; new time; new start. I will never be known as Venelise Cuttraluza again" she announced
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" he told her sadly: realising there was nothing he could do to stop her. She gazed at his freckled face one last time, as she considered what could've been, but what would never be, and she prepared her already tattered heart to say goodbye.
"Thats what I'm hoping for" she smiled as she opened the locket and disappeared into the night.
