Lewis had just stared a couple of his classmates in wonder when they mentioned Muggle books, books he'd never heard before. They had weird titles, at least some of them did. Especially staring at a girl that mentioned a book about rings, the Hufflepuff took a couple of notes when she explained what it was about. A ring. So much he'd gathered from the title already. But then there was some things about hobbits too which just left him completely baffled. What was that?! He was going to have to look that up after class.

He smiled to himself when Professor Cerulean mentioned that there might be a Muggle Bookshelf in the Library soon. As long as it wasn't in the restricted section this was an AWESOME idea. At least he thought so. It would probably mean that he would be spending even more time in the library though. But it was winter anyway so no need to feel bad about staying inside all day.

And he didn't have to go to the library on his own after all...

Oh, that question he knew!

Lewis quickly raised his hand to get the professor's attention and - once he had it - lowered it again, answering the question. "Well, nonfictional books are factual. They're based on facts...on true facts...or, well, at least the author believes them to be true." Yes, that wasn't confusing at all or anything. So you could never be absolutely certain if what was written in a book was ACTUALLY true. "And fiction is all about imagination, a lot of a fictional book's components are made up, like the characters or the storyline or the history of the story." Which was really weird actually now that he got to think of it. Since, per that definition, if, say, Lewis Carroll would be insane and would actually believe that there was a world called Wonderland, then that would make the Alice in Wonderland-books nonfictional, wouldn't it?

Somehow those definitions were a little confusing all of a sudden. Huh.
