I do not own Potterverse. Thank you so, so much for all the reviews. They make my day, honestly. As well as those favoriting and alerting, thank you. You, readers, are absolutely wonderful! Anyway, here's the next bit and I hope you enjoy it!


Cummings could taste victory. Today was it, she could feel it and Sirius would be proud because she finished before the two weeks were up. She was crouched low against the wall in Headquarters and had been unseen by the majority of the members so far. Just beyond the door she was silently slinking towards was an unsuspecting Sirius Black. Cummings was about to go in for the kill when a slight nasally voice she loathed sounded behind her.

"What the sodding hell are you doing down there Cummings?" Giving away her position was none other than the Sirius Black wannabe, Baxter.

Upon hearing her name Sirius turned around, wand in hand, and said, "Stupefy."

Laughing at Cummings lying on the carpet, a dazed look on her face, Baxter used the wall to prop himself up. It was the best thing he'd seen all month. Slowly Cummings came out of the stun and glared up at Baxter.

"DAMN YOU INTO MERLIN'S DIRTY KNICKERS, BAXTER! DAMN YOU!" she cried out.

Baxter continued to laugh. "It's not my fault." He shook his head letting his mop of wavy blonde hair bounce lightly. Angrily Cummings pushed herself off the carpet, still glaring fiercely at the offending boy.

"It is so your fault! You're just jealous that I'm getting trained by your boyfriend and you've got…" Cummings trailed off in the middle of her rant when she realized she had no clue who was training Baxter in the ways of being a member of the Order of the Phoenix. "Well I have no idea who you've got but I know it's not Captain!"

His already squinty eyes became squinter as he looked at the brunette feeling affronted by her accusations. "He's not my boyfriend, I'm not gay. And his name is Sirius! You're a nutter Cummings."

Normally Cummings wouldn't mind being called a nutter but that was only by people she respected or liked. Baxter was neither. "STALKER!" She accused loudly pointing a finger at the boy.

"I'm not a stalker!" Baxter growled back.

"Don't deny it! I bet you even sneak into his flat and sniff his knickers, don't you? DON'T YOU?" She repeated practically yelling, gaining the attention of nearby members of the Order.

"I DON'T SNIFF HIS KNICKERS!" Baxter raged his face turning red as a vain pulsed dangerously on his forehead.

"I bet you do." Cummings told him smugly, a smirk on her lips as she took a different approach to aggravating Baxter. This method she learned from Sirius, indirectly of course and she was sure he wasn't aware of it either. She had observed him a few times when they were both at Hogwarts and he'd get in a tiff with the Slytherins. It was then that Cummings found herself thinking that Sirius Black was one of the coolest people she'd ever seen. Especially with his ability to twirl his wand between his fingers, a feat Cummings could not accomplish herself.

"I DO NOT!" He yelled spit flying out of his mouth.

"Watch it Baxter, the vein in your forehead looks like it's about to explode." She cautioned him.

"THEN STOP SAYING FALSE THINGS ABOUT ME!"

"Only if you stop yelling, you keep spitting on me." She bargained wiping the spit off her face from Baxter's yelling. The muscles in his jaw flexed as he clamped his mouth closed and inhaled through this nose trying to calm himself, slowly his face turning back to its normal shade of pale.

"Fine," he replied tersely. "I'll stop yelling."

"Good, because I don't think Captain likes it very much when you yell out that you sniff his knickers and secretly walk around his flat naked pretending that you two are married." Cummings said choking back her laughter.

"I DO NOT!" In an instant Baxter's face surpassed red and went right to a hideous purple color with the vein in his forehead pulsing. If he wasn't scary looking before he could definitely make small children cry now. Maybe even the Dark Lord himself. But despite that, Cummings' laughter burst forth and she started giggling. "I'M GOING TO HEX YOU CUMMINGS!"

Immediately she turned on her heel and ran giggling all the way over to Sirius. "Captain, save me!" She pleaded through her giggles, Sirius easily sidestepped her. There was no way Sirius was going to enter into this argument. He liked keeping his distance from Baxter as much as he could, he didn't want to encourage him. Sirius could only imagine the horrors that would ensue if Baxter thought he had Sirius' blessing.

"COME BACK HERE!" Baxter roared as Cummings managed to evade him again still giggling as she ran though the giggles that escaped her mouth were considerably more breathy. In all honesty Cummings taunting Baxter was hilarious, in Sirius' opinion though some of the older Order members weren't looking on too approvingly.

"NEVER GIVE UP AND NEVER SURRENDER!" Cummings shouted jabbing a finger in the air giggling and narrowly missing a hex Baxter shot at her. Her apple green eyes grew twice their normal size as she realized her narrow escape and squeaked. "Cobra Commander!" She called out running towards James who had just walked in completely oblivious to the scene that was playing out. Immediately Cummings clung to James as if her life depended on it. "Save me," she requested breathlessly.

James looked down at her befuddled by her request. "What?" He asked looking up just in time to see Baxter running towards the two of them with a crazed look on his face. Startled, James' hazel eyes widened as he instantly drew up his wand and sent a spell towards the angry newbie. "Petrificus Totalus." Instantly the boy's legs snapped together and his arms to his sides in a full body bind before tumbling to the floor.

Cautiously Cummings let go of James and slowly walked over to Baxter who was glaring up at her. She nudged him with the tip of her sneaker and looked up, eyes darting about the room to see who was in there. When she couldn't see anyone of high authority Cummings grinned and kicked Baxter. "Suck on that Baxter, you don't mess with the Cobra Commander." She told him then turned to James giving him a victorious high-five, he was smiling as well.

"Cummings."

At the sound of her mentor's familiar voice she turned around to face him. "Yes Captain?"

"You failed again," he informed her keeping a look of seriousness on his face.

"But I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for that meddling...Baxter." She sneered as her eyes narrowed, one narrowing more than the other and twitching.

"I know but that still doesn't change anything."

"I'm aware of that Captain." She sighed, so much for sweet victory. She turned to leave when Sirius called to her again.

"Cummings." She paused and looked back at him. "Despite what you said being slightly unnerving it was bloody hilarious." A good-natured grin broke out across his handsome face. Cummings' apple green eyes became big and shiny with happiness with her giant dimpled smile on her face.

"Really," she asked and Sirius nodded. Cummings rushed over to Sirius and instantly wrapped her arms around him in a hug that he wasn't expecting or honestly, really wanting for that matter.

"Hugging, again, really?" He asked awkwardly looking down at the top of her head that was pressed against his muscular chest.

"Oh Captain you're the best." She gushed looking up and making eye contact with Sirius while she continued to hug him tightly. "I'm going to make you proud. Just you wait. You are going to be sneak attacked so hard you'll swear you got confounded." She promised before letting him go and skipping off to plan out her next plan of attack.
