SPOILER!!: Cerulean

Selina was so pumped about the prospect of talking about the Aeneid. Rarely, if ever, people wanted to speak about the Latin epic poem that was near and dear to Selina's heart. But Cerulean, after everyone listed their favorite pieces of literature, seemed to just glaze right over the Aeneid. It made Selina a tad upset because she was foolishly expecting to be running frantically about retelling the tale of Aeneas and his companions. Perhaps, it was a tad unrealistic.

When she did ask the difference between fiction and nonfiction, Selina was surprised that she knew the answer to that question. Then again, it was not so weird because even Wizarding novels had that distinction, "A nonfiction book is a book that is made up of one hundred percent fact. Fiction is novel or piece of literature that has made up characters or stories that are not based mostly in fact or at all in fact."

She would request that each of these be added to the Muggle section in the library. As she wrote each book down, she smiled at the students. Once there was a lull in the books being named, she continued, "Wow, I am very impressed with everyone! All of the books mentioned are amazing books from children's novels to more advanced reading. Ya'll always tend to surprise me with your knowledge..." she said as she glanced over the list one more time, "The Librarian and I are in negotiations to possible have a Muggle Literature shelf set up so maybe I can give him this list of books and ya'll can check them out and read them if they sound interesting to you..." she said placing the notebook down in front of her. "As I mentioned Muggle literature and Wizarding literature, like so many other things, are very similar. Both types of literature are divided into two major categories. These are known as Fiction...." and with that word some of the books suspended in the air lite up in red...."and Non-Fiction." and then the rest of the books lite up in red as well. "Can anyone guess what Fiction and Non-Fiction means?" she asked knowing this was an easy question but still she was interested to see what their answers were.
