Marilyn began helping the other girl put the ingredients in the cauldron, allowing it all to quickly heat. What do you think about the crushed snake fangs? There's also dried nettles that helps with boils... She eyed Destiny carefully, wanting her opinion before adding anything. This was just as much Destiny's potion as it was hers. They were both depending on the outcome heavily.
'Oh, I didn't know that.' Destiny replied about the porcupine quills. At least Marilyn read the textbook correctly. It wasn't Destiny's fault though. The feathers were so itchy that is was really hard to concentrate. She just knew she wanted them gone, and the boils. The wings on the other hand were that big of a problem. She could actually live with the wings. She could fly down the halls and never be late for classes. But she didn't need to think about that right now. She needed these boils gone.
'Yeah I think the snake fangs would do good.' Destiny said as she read the text.
'Will we have to make three different potions, since we have three different conditions? And I didn't see anything to get rid of feathers!' She really wanted them feathers gone.
