Chapter 3.

Surprise Surprise!

Lea sat up straight in her bed. This was the day! Reception Day! But then her excitement turned into panic. What was the spell she was going to perform?

Quickly she pulled her spell book out of her backpack. Lea flipped through the pages. And there it was. The Invisibility charm. "With this spell you can turn yourself invisible for a few seconds, to gain time in battle.", Lea read out loud.

"Lets' try this thing."

"Invesio!" she cried.

But as Lea looked down at herself, she was still visible. As she looked in her mirror there was nothing left of her. Then suddenly with a tiny Plop she was Lea once more.

"It worked!" she squealed. "It worked! It worked!" Lea hopped around her room like a child.

Someone knocked on the door.

"Come in." Lea called.

It was Lucas. "What do you want feather brain?" Lea asked in her most dangerous voice.

With a innocent smile Lucas answered: "Grandma said to tell you to come down and eat breakfast."

"Tell her I'll be right down."

"Okey."


Lucas shook his head as he went down the stairs. Sweet, old Lea. Still as hostile as ever.

The kitchen smelled wonderful. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, coffee, freshly beaked bread and pancakes. Lucas' stomach grumbled although he had already had breakfast. Only to be out of Leas' way.

"Lucas! Mind not touching that hot stove." Grandma scolded.

"Oh, I'll be careful."

At the age of six he had burned himself on that stove. And now, even years after that Grandma liked to warn him.

Lea came into the kitchen. In her arms, her copy of Attack and Defense: Level 3. She gave Lucas a grim look and sat down with some of the Order members.

"Grandma? Can I have some more pancakes?" Lucas asked.

"Gracious child!" Grandma cried. "Haven't you just had breakfast?"

"Please!" Lucas gave her a puppy look.

"Take some, and then get out of here!" she growled.

Grinning Lucas took a stack of pancakes, and went out into the garden. There, his uncles played Quidditch. Bill, Charlie, Fred and George. Fleur, Kate, Ali and Angelina at the porch table.

"Have you seen Ginny?" Kate asked him.

"Mo." Lucas answered with his mouth full of pancakes. "Maven't meem mer mall morming."

"Hey Lucas!" Fred yelled. (Or was it George?) "Swallow the next time before you speak."

"I will. Can I play too?"

"Then we'll need another player." Bill said.

"Why not try Lea?" Fleur asked.

"Erm, sorry Fleur. Lea doesn't like Quidditch."

"Why not? She's your-" Charlie cleared his throat. "Er, cousin." Fleur finished.

"Lea doesn't like blue eyes and broken bones."

Fred and George grinned at each other. Lucas didn't see anything funny, but he did not ask them.

"Who'll then play?" Bill asked impatiently.

"Too bad Ron's not here. He'd be a great keeper." Again Fred and George grinned.

"I'll play." Angelina said.

"But you haven't played in years." George said.

"What do you mean by that?" Angelina shot back.

"You played Quidditch?" Lucas asked.

"Yes. For Gryffindor." Angelina replied coldly.

"Okey. Angelina will be Chaser on my team." Bill said. "And Lucas will be Seeker."

That left Charlies' team with him as Seeker, Fred as Keeper and George as Chaser. They played for about an hour, (Bills' team 140 : Charlies' team 160) when Grandma called for Lucas to come in and prepare for the reception.

"But-" Lucas started.

"No buts! Lea's already dressed."


It was just like Lucas to wait until the last minute. As he went past her, Lea grinned.

"Grandma, can I have more tea?" she asked. On the outside she looked as clam as ever, but on the inside she was about to explode.

"Of cause. I can still remember my reception to the Order. And almost everyone eles'. Let me see, Cho Chang, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Ron Ginny, Luna, Dean Thomas, Fleur, Kate, Angelina, Allison, Lavender Brown, Lupin, Lilly Potter, James Potter, Ha-"

"Ready Grandma!" Lucas raced into the kitchen.

"Good, then lets go downstairs."

With downstairs she meant the cellar. Down there was all the equipment you would need to fight any dark wizard in the world. Now they even used muggle devices to fight the Dark Lord.

"Lea, you're first. Go on!" Grandma waved her in the room. And then the door, closed behind Lea.


Lucas stood frozen, next to his Grandma. Seconds turned into minutes. And then:

BANG!

The whole house shook. Voices yelled upstairs. The basement door flew open and ten wizards and witches ran out. All had their wands pulled out. After then came Lea.
