A/n Ok, here goes nothing!

Chapter 1.
Lucas and Lea

Beep, beep, beep went the alarm clock. Groaning Lucas turned over. He looked at the clock. 8 am. Again he had forgotten to turn off his alarm! And it was a holiday! Lucas groaned again and went back to sleep.

Three hours later...

"Lucas! It's 11! Almost noon! Get out of bed!" Ginny called from downstairs. Lucas, half asleep, heard her coming up the stairs.

"Lucas! I'm tired of yelling!" Ginny said bursting into his bedroom. She pulled his covers off. "Get going!"

"Five more min-"

"No! Now!"

Sleepily Lucas slipped out of bed. He turned to Ginny: "Do we have to go to Aunt Lunas' birthday? You know I hate Lea."

"We have to! No arguments! Now get dressed, we don't want to be late!" Ginny answered sternly.

Lucas took a quick shower, and put on a clean shirt. Why did he have to be cousins with Lea? Why? What everyone should know about Lea was that she was the best student in the Order. Most children where taught by members of the Order. After Hogwards had been burned down and Albus Dumbeldore had been killed there had been no school to go to. So members of the Order volunteered to teach the children.
This was working out fairly well, if you overlooked the fact that Lea was the best student. Lea had always been the teachers pet. Actually everyones' pet. She did what she was told, every time, anywhere, and always! Lucas didn't. Maybe that was why Lea hated him so much.
The only thing they had in common was that both where adopted, and knew nothing about their parents.

"Lucas!"

"Coming!"

Lea picked up her brush and looked at it. Today was her moms birthday. Well, not really her mom. Miserably Lea continued to stare at her brush. How could they do this to her? Although she had not seen Lucas in four years, she assumed he hadn't changed one bit. She assumed that he would still tease her about being class best.

"Lea?" A voice brought her back to the real world.

"What?" she hastily answered.

"The guests are arriving!" Uncle Rons' voice came from downstairs.

Already? Lea thought. Quickly she brushed her honey brown curls. She pulled on her new green dress that matched her eyes. Next she pulled her hair up in a high ponytail. Then she ran downstairs.

Lucas glanced around himself. Most guests where from the Order. He knew all of them. After Voldemort had killed so many people, many of the Order members had drawn back because of danger. He knew Ginny would never leave the Order. But he would never have guessed that-

"Hello Lucas." a stiff voice brought him back. It was Lea. She had grown quite a bit and now was only a inch shorter that Lucas. Her green eyes sparkled.

"Um, Lea." For a few moments neither one knew what to say.

Finally Lea broke the silence: "So, how's Ginny?"

"Fine." Lucas replayed.

"How's your owl Eddie?", still trying to make a conversation.

"Fine."

This conversation was leading nowhere. They both knew it.

"Well, I think I should um see if any of the guests need more drinks." Lea said.

What a stupid excuse, but at least he wouldn't have to talk to Lea, Lucas thought. He left her with asimple nod.

Finally free! Lea made her way through the guests, towards the porch. As she stepped outside she deeply breathed in, the warm sunny air. As she had assumed, Lucas was still the idiot she had known four years ago. She made a movement with her hand and a Wildberry Smoothie appear in her hand. It was very advanced magic to let things appear in your hand.

She began to gulp down her smoothie. Now she felt better.

Aunt Ginny stepped out on the porch. She stood next to Lea for a few minutes.

"So, did Lucas say something that upset you?" she asked.

"No."

"Good. Then I guess you won't mind staying with us for a few weeks!" Ginny said happily.

"What?" Lea almost dropped her smoothie.

"Jep. Your parents are going on a trip to Alaska and you're staying with me and Lucas."

Lea was stunned. Stay with Lucas for the rest of the summer? Impossible to think of!

"Are you ok?" Ginny asked worried.

"I hope." Lea gulped.

"Well, then you should pack your things! Your parents are leaving tomorrow morning." she said brightly. Ginny left the porch.

Live with Lucas for the rest of the summer? Lea still could not move. Why was faith so terrible? Why? She kept on wondering for the rest of the day.
