Melinda leaps to her feet, her eyes moving wildly around the room as she takes stock of the situation. Dammit, that electricity had really rattled her; she'd been unable to get any more strikes in before the cavalry arrived. She wasn't scared, that'd be ridiculous. So what the hell was that all about?
Shaking it off, she listens intently to the officer. The Awesome Squad, the Potato Cult...she sort of wishes the cops hadn't shown up so her and the others could investigate this on their own and get all the glory, like the band of heroes from humble beginnings that she's seen so many times in books and movies. At least the officers come with information and help. But out of everything she hears, one thing sticks out like a sore thumb.
"Hey," she says, pushing her way to the front of the crowd, "did you say something about magic? That John guy's friend said she was picking up magical signatures in the area. Do you think she was talking about us?!"
And in the back of her mind, there's still a little tidbit that she isn't sure what to make of. She hadn't gotten too far away before she heard Mr. Beedle say something about magic himself. She makes a mental note to ask him what he knows later.
