Wednesday was ordinarily one of the busiest days at the Contrary Apothecary, so naturally that was the day they were closed to undergo inspection. Antonia, Melinda's grandmother, preferred to oversee those things herself when she could, which gave Mel the day off. While there were many possibilities, Melinda had decided it would be a good day to walk about and explore. London was a vast and old city filled with many secr- A great blaze was dancing rhythmically in the window St. Mungo's. Melinda stood on the street, overwhelmed by the chaos around her. There were people everywhere, many of them were hurt, and there were many more inside. Before she realized what she was doing, Melinda had her wand in hand and she was running into the blaze.
Melinda had always hated to be hot, yet there she was running through a burning building. Aguamenti! she cried. A torrent of water shot from her wand, extinguishing the wall of fire that stood between her and the hall. She'd found nobody on the first floor, but she could hear a woman screeching upstairs like a mad owl.
"Hello?!" Melinda called as she made her upstairs. "I'm here to get you out of here. If- AH!" Melinda couldn't feel her feet or her hands, and for the first time in her life she yearned to be hot. She'd always wondered if a person could pass out from being cold. As it would turn out, it was possible.
