Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter characters. Only Areina Atakapa. So far

Hello my name is Areina Atakapa. This is my story about how I met 'The Trio'.

It was the summer before my sophomore year in Muggle high school when I got the letter. It was weird because it found me when I was at camp and the only people that knew I was there was just my family not even my best friend knew the location of where I was. But it found me and this is what It read:

'We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Students shall be required to report to the Chamber of Reception upon arrival, the date for which shall be duly advised

Please ensure that the utmost attention be made to the list of requirements attached herewith.

We very much look forward to receiving you as a part or the new generation of Hogwarts' heritage.

Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandos

Professor McGonagall

Then like it said there was a list in side. It was the list of the things I needed.

'First year student will require: Three sets of plain work robes One plain pointed hat for day wear One pair of dragon-hide gloves

And the Following set of books: ' The Standard book of spells' by Miranda Goshawk 'A Thousand Magical Herbs and fungi' by Phyllida Spore 'A History of Magic' by Bathilda Bangshot 'Magical Theory' by Adalbert Waffling 'A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration' by Emric Switch 'Magical drafts and Potions' by Arsenius Jigger

And also: 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' by Newt Scamander 'The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection' by Trimble

All students must be equipped with: One wand One standard size 2 pewter cauldron

And may bring, if they desire, either an owl, a cat, or a toad

Lucinda Thomsonicle-Pocus Chief Attendant of Witchcraft Provisions'

That's what it said. I was worried that it would really speak and get me in trouble. Well, you see I am an Apache from the White Mountain Apache Tribe, Native American, well that is the 'Politically correct' way of saying Indian in the United States of America. In the traditions of my people the only person that gets to talk 'to themselves' are the chiefs and the medicine-men. I emphasize men because in my tribe only males can become medicine-men. So, having a piece of paper talking to me is not going to make me look good. Oh, sorry I didn't tell you what kind of camp I was at; that talking to my self is going to make me look bad. Well I was at a mostly all girl Apache kids camp for archeology. I have gone for many years and this year in total was just got to its weirdest. (First of all, weird things were happening to me since the beginning of the year. I mean like January 1st.)

*~ Flashback ~* During the summer of weirdness a new student (I guess you would say that) came for a visit to see if she wanted to come next year. Well as the outgoing but shy person I am I introduced myself to her right when I saw her.

It went something like this:

"Hello I'm Areina, Areina Atakapa," I said while trying to grab her hand to shake it. While looking around in amazement and then startled by my presents said, "OH!! Oh, hello you startled me. What. oh yes my name is Hermione Granger. I have come all the way from England to study here." "Cool!!! I have always wanted to fly to England." I got lost in my thoughts and I finally looked at her and she was looking at me funny. "Oh I am sorry." I pleaded, "I just never have been out of Arizona. well I have been to California but I haven't been there since I was 5." During my plea to her she was still looking at me funny-like. I looked at her hard but not in a mean way but looked at her the way she was looking at me. When she realized what she was doing she broke our (what I call a staring contest) gaze.

"I sorry for some reason I thought that. OH! Never mind! " She exasperated

I was thinking that this summer will not be like any other.

BOY was I right!!
