~*Chapter 2*~

A few days went by and Hermione and I became inseparable. Even though we only knew each other for a few days it felt like (at least to me) that we had known each other for years!! About two nights before the last day in our cabin, that we shared, I herd something or someone mumbling something weird. When I had gotten up to investigate I found Hermione looking over a HUGE book!!

I was thinking 'WHERE did she hide that thing!?!' Calmly so not to really disturb her I asked what she was doing

In an annoyed tone she answered, "I am studding my potions because Professor Snape LOVES to give us pop quizzes on the first day!" Then realizing what she had just told me she looked at me in absolute HORROR!

I was a little occupied with thinking over what she had said ~POTIONS~. I was trying to remember where I herd that, when my thoughts were interrupted by Hermione starting to mumble something again this time I knew what it was Latin!! SHE IS GOING TO PUT A SPELL ON ME!!!!!!!! She was about to say the last word when I told her to, 'STOP'!!!

She was taken aback when I yelled at her and was not able to finish the spell, which I was thankful for. She just looked at me like a little kid seeing something for the first time.

I was in a panic!! I started asking millions (well maybe not that many) of questions, 'Why were you going to spell me?? Where did you learn that? Are you a witch? I think I am. When did you start your shaman training? ...' I asked A LOT more but don't remember them all.

She became overwhelmed with all of my questions. And asked me to repeat them but slower so she could answer. (A/N * Areina :: ~ Hermione)

* 'O.K. Why were you going to spell me? I mean cast a spell on me.' I said urgently.

~ She chuckled when I said my sentence wrong, 'Because, I didn't know that you were or might be a witch. I was given a spell to erase the mind of any muggle that I accidentally blabbed to.' She blushed a little.

* 'Oh, what is a muggle and where did you learn that?' I inquired

~ 'I'm not to tell you but I will only if you promise not to say a word, NOT a Word to anyone!! Understand?!' I nodded and did the motion of zipping my lip. 'Good. Now then I go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry there I study to be a great, and a good mind you, witch.'

* 'Wow. That is cool that sounds better than (?) Muggle (?) School!! Is that what witches and wizards call non-magic people? And when did you start your shaman training?!?'

~ 'Yes that is correct and I don't really know what you mean by my "shaman training" Boy I feel silly.'

* 'Don't feel silly, most people think that the tradition is dead so not many people know about it. A shaman is a member of certain tribal societies who acts as a medium between the visible world and an invisible spirit world and who practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing, divination, and control over natural events. I had to memorize that because I come from a long, I mean LONG, line of shaman but all have been men. And my family now has to rely on me to keep the tradition because I am the only one that still believes, I have 2 brothers and a little sister. Also, my family hasn't been able to find me a school. On top of that not until recently did I even know I had powers. By the way how old are you?!?'

~ 'Oh my, that is interesting. I am 12 now. And you ?'

* 'I am 13. I 'm almost always a little older than people I make friends. `cept if they are teachers or friends of the family'

~ 'I am really sorry that I almost erased your mind.'

* 'That's ok I might have done the same if I was in your shoes and almost doesn't count `cept in horseshoes and grenades.' I smiled at her.

We both laughed, so loud that the camp counselors yelled at us to get in bed because it was 2:00 in the morning!! We stopped for a moment and looked at each other and started to laugh again but we refrained from laughing loudly so we sniggered off to bed.

Before getting into bed I sleepily told Hermione about the letter I received, only one day before she arrived. Hermione was already tucked into bed and when I told her this she almost hit her head on the bunk above her because she sat up so fast.

~ *cough* 'You mean YOU got a letter from Hogwarts?!?!'

* 'SHHHHHHH, and yes I did what is so special a bout that?'

~ 'Not many people outside of England get accepted into Hogwarts!!!'

* 'Well we can talk about this tomorrow, well I guess it's really later today. Good night!' I said sleepily.

~ 'Ok. But we REALLY must be in a group just by ourselves so nobody will hear our conversation. Ok. Ok'

* I pretended to be a sleep and mocked 'Huh, What oh, Okay!' Hermione tossed her pillow up to the top bunk to hit me but it only went strait up then down on to the dirty floor.

I giggled, Hermione wasn't happy at all. She mumbled something AGAIN. Her pillow floated in the air then became clean!! Then to my disarray it zoomed at my head with a WACK. Now she was giggling. I took her pillow and sent it down to her with a, 'HEY, Man I'm TRY"N to SLEEP Here'

We both giggled for a little more then said good night.

That was the best time I have had in a LONG time!!! The next day wasn't all that bad either.
