A/n Ready for takeoff!
Chapter 2.
The New Order of the Phoenix
Grumpily Lea pulled her suitcase after her. Her parents had already left. Ginny was supposed to come any minute. She sat down in the livingroom, thinking dark thoughts to herself. But after a while she stopped herself. "Anger is the path to the dark side", Professor Changs' voice echoed in her head. "Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." For a wile she just sat there thinking about that.
Plop!
Aunt Ginny had just apparated right next to her. "Hi." she said brightly.
"Hey." Lea forced a small smile.
"I see you have packed. So we'll be off shortly!"
"Ok, I just need to say goodbye to Harriet." Lea ran to the kitchen. There sat her Tawny Owl, Harriet on top of the Fridge. She came whooshing down when she saw Lea.
Lea gently stroke Harriets' soft feathers. "I'll miss you." she whispered. Harriet just looked at her.
Quickly Lea ran back to Ginny.
"Ready?"
"Whenever you are."
They both apparated at the same time.
Plop. Plop. Ginny and Lea apparated not at Ginnys' house but in the Burrow.
Voldemort had taken serious actions, and all the members of the Order had to work from morning until dark.
After the Head Quarters had burned down, Molly and Arthur had offered their home to be the new Head Quarters. Now they all lived there (Most of the time.).
Whoosh! Five people rushed by Lea. They didn't even have time to say "Excuse me".
"I'll ask mom if you can have my old bedroom." Ginny said happily. She was glad to be home.
"Ok." Lea replayed dryly.
She and Lucas would probably be the only "underage" people in the whole Order. All the other kids lived at home, where it was safer.
Lea looked around herself, seeing not much of her childhood memories. Years ago, everything had stilled been "old fashioned" at the Burrow. Now, the latest technology had to be used, for "The Voldemort Case" , as Lea called it.
She too, had been preparing. Not for a battle, but for her reception to the Order. Now that she was eighteen, she was eligible to join the Order. All it would take was a test from the Heads.
Even though her parents could not be there, Aunt Ginny would be there. And Lucas.
"Lea? Hello? Earth to Lea!"
"Huh?" Lea looked around herself bewildered. It was Ginny.
"The last meeting for today has just ended. Let's get dinner."
"Oh. Ok."
Lucas filled his plate. His grandma was just the best cook! Pork, mashed potatoes, beans, cooked carrots, pumpkin pie, and lots of other food had been prepared. Anyone who didn't know Mrs. Weasly, might think they were celebrating Thanksgiving early.
Most members took second and third helpings. All except Lea. Lucas chuckled to himself. After one girl from the Order classes had brought a muggle magazine, all the girls had thought they were too fat. Even Lea. Now all of them watched carefully what they where eating.
"So Lucas. I heard you have your reception on Saturday." Prof. Chang said.
"Um, yeah."
"Congratulations! I'm sure you'll pass the test. It's quite easy."
"What do I have to do?"
"Well, I think I better not tell you." Lucas gave a little groan.
After dinner Lea and Lucas both helped with the dishes. For a while neither one said anything, they both silently wiped dishes.
"So, are you excited?" Lea asked.
"What?" Lucas had no clue what she was talking about.
"Tomorrow! Our reception!" Lea cried.
"Oh, that. Yeah. But nervous fits better." What the world was he saying?
"Me too." Lea said, "But just a little." she quickly added.
"Same here."
"What in the world are you doing?" Lea cried.
"Huh?" Lucas replayed stupidly.
"Give me that!" Lea snatched the plate from Lucas' hand.
"What did I do wrong?"
Lea examined the plate carefully. "There!" she yelled. She pointed at a spot that wouldn't go away. Lucas had tried to rub it off violently.
"You're supposed to spray it with this stuff if it won't come off!" She held a green plastic under his nose.
"Sorry."
Lea gave a small groan.
Well, she's still the same old picky Lea, Lucas thought.
As Lea sank into her bed she quickly noticed that something was wrong. Suddenly a giant green frog jumped from under her covers. Lea shirked.
Her bedroom door opened and Lucas stuck his head in. "Anything wrong?" he asked with a sly grin.
"You!" Lea cried.
"Jep. Me." And he slammed the door.
In no time Lea was out of bed and in the hallway. But Lucas was already up the stairs.
"I'll get you for that, Lucas Weasly!" she yelled.
Lucas only stuck his tongue out at her.
"Why you little-" Lea stooped quickly. A hand was on her shoulder. She turned around to see Prof. Thomas stare down at her.
"Lea? Don't you know better that to run around in a house, full of sleeping people?"
"I'm sorry sir." Lea said quietly. Then she slipped back into her bedroom. She had never been this embarrassed.
She slipped back into bed, thinking of a revenge plan.
A/n Review! And thank you!
