"Oh, no, no one was hurt, which was a lucky thing. It really was both our faults--you certainly should not have thrown an unknown substance into my cauldron, but I really shouldn't have been brewing that potion as a student, especially in class." Jane smiled wryly--she had always thought she could handle things more advanced than her grade level, and she generally had been right. But that incident had certainly taught her to be a bit less arrogant and more careful. "By the way, if you ever remember what you did throw in that cauldron, please let me know, it would make an interesting addition to my potions records."

Then, replying again to what Helena has said about their detention, Jane continued, "And yes, it was a blessing. It took us all weekend to clean the lab up and we had to learn to work together. And it gave us a lot of time to talk and get to know each other. We found out that the things we had assumed about each other weren't really true, and by the end, we found out that we actually liked each other!"

Jane suddenly looked over at Violet, who was enjoying all this way too much. "And don't let this encourage you to engage in mischief, young lady," she said to the younger woman, though there was no real bite behind her words. She and Violet both knew that now that Violet was of age, she didn't need to obey a governess any more, though she hoped she did still have the influence of a friend.

Turning back to Helena, Jane deftly turned the subject a little. "So, it seems you remember a bit more about our schooldays. Do you remember anything later on? After you graduated school, perhaps?" Because this was what Jane, Violet, and the healers most wanted to know--what had happened to bring Helena to this condition?
