This is brilliant! I love Helena's caginess (and it makes SO much sense that she's a witch), and that she turns up with Laertes of all people. Her exchange with Snape was just lovely; it shows how basically decent a person she is, and I love Snape's complete inability to understand that.
“Severus, she says she is a pilgrim to the shrine of St. James. She is a Frenchwoman. The shrine of St. James is in Spain. Why on earth should she go by way of Florence?”
“How should I know? Maybe she isn’t very good at geography.”
