Michaela The horrible clenching sensation in my gut is just one of the ways I"m certain that this is a terrible idea, especially as I don"t know the person I"m about to turn to for help. But after asking around, this is where I"m certain I need to be, and the warlock within should be able to help me brew the potion I need for Thalia. Whether it"ll work is another matter, but I"m going to make her test it on me before I set her loose on the world. I approach the lab door and try to quash the nerves building inside me. All I"m doing is asking someone about a potion. There"s nothing wrong with that. Should I knock? Technically, it"s part of the academy and I"m free to go inside, but somehow, that feels rude. I raise my fist and rap on the door a couple of times, then wait to see if any
