Juliana couldn't contest the woman's first statement, since she didn't have very much in the way of first hand experiences with Muggles. She passed them on the street every day as she made her way through London, but it wasn't as though she had regular conversations with them, or anything. She didn't frequent Muggle establishments (or, really, any kind of establishment at all other than the Crowdy Library, the post office, and her place of employment), so whether they were or weren't likely to notice things was outside of her area of expertise. Still, the statement seemed inherently off to Jules, perhaps because it was so general. Surely not all Muggles were by nature less observant than all wizards?
No one had noticed it yet, though, so maybe she was onto something.
"It looks... a little familiar," Jules remarked with a frown. "But I've never been much good with runes. It takes me hours to translate anything, if I need to, no matter how many times I've seen them before," she admitted. She hadn't even taken Ancient Runes at Hogwarts, and she hadn't gotten OWLs in anything at Hogwarts before she'd been expelled, so this sort of brute-academia had always been difficult for her. Things with no direct application to ordinary, modern life just drifted out of her head right after she'd learned them, no matter how many times she tried. She even had a few friends who were willing to help her along, and she was still rubbish at it.
"I think it must be part of a spell someone's casting right now, though," she commented. "Otherwise, why would it be glowing like that?"
