*Everything I Know I Learned* *Adding Silently To The Noise*

Vlimia walked into the room she had been trying to find for the past five minutes. She had seen on the notice board that it was magic-free, and it was a kind of movie theater. Vlim had read about them in a book on Muggle Studies she had found in a bookstore, before her parents wrenched the book away. She looked around, and instantly spotted a big table full of what looked like Muggle sweets. An odd machine popping out yellow puffs of puffiness, an ordinary stack of cups and another weird machine that had logos all over it were next to the sweets. Coca Cola, Sprite, Nestea... Muggles had such crazy names for drinks. Water was water. Iced tea was iced tea. The list of beverages that were beverages went on and on.

Past that was what she recognized as loads of Muggle sweets - even she could identify sweets. Odd names were given to these sweets, as well. Milk Duds, Sour Patch Kids, Starbursts... Would these Muggles ever stop? Vlimia grabbed a red and white box and put it under the machine she now noticed was labeled Popcorn. So they heated up corn kernels until they popped? Seemed quite simple. Now the drinks... there were cups, but no drinks! Maybe the mysterious Logo Machine held them. Vlim put a cup under the logo Sprite, wondering what it would taste like. After getting her drink, she grabbed a fistful of sweets, and sat down to watch the movie. She knew that movies went for about two hours, and that they were either animated or real life. Vlim took a sip of her drink, and flinched as her nose tickled. The beverage was very sweet and fizzy, but Vlimia quite liked it.

Next she tried the popcorn. It half dissolved in her mouth, and left an artificial taste. Deciding that popcorn was not yummy, Vlim set it aside. When she got to the sweets, she unwrapped the individual paper on them. They really were difficult to open. Once she had gotten a Starburst open, she popped it in her mouth and chewed. It was almost like Drooble's, except it wasn't magical and it dissolved in her mouth after a while. Vlimia concluded that Muggle sweets were exactly like wizarding sweets, except they missed the magical quality.
