Title: The Young Order

Rating: Probably PG, perhaps PG-13, who knows? Some where in-between there, at most PG-13 just to be safe. God knows what this mindless authoress would write...x

Disclaimer: I, sadly, own nothing of J.K. Rowling's, and nothing in the HP universe. If I did, do you think would have died?!?! OF COURSE NOT!

Summary: On the Hogwarts express, going home after 5th year is up.

A/N: The last chapter.

"James didn't actually take Snape's pants off, did he?" Treasure asked with wide eyes, watching as Laurel calmly inspected her fingernails. "Of course not, not even James would be so cruel," Lily snapped, looking as if she has her doubts. Treasure raised her eyebrows and turned her attention back to Laurel.

"Well, did he?"

Laurel looked up with a rather complacent grin on her face. Of the three of them, Laurel was the one to stay behind while Lily stormed off to the girls' dorm. Lily, sick of the very sight of James Potter, had decided that she was going to do some hasty and rather messy packing. The girls were in the dorm once more, sitting on Treasure's bed, which had been stripped of her bed sheets. The entire room was left bare, with Lily and Treasure's trunks leaning neatly against a wall by the door. "Well, he was about too. Sirius was all for it, you know. I think he enjoys humiliating Snape a little too much, if you ask me."

"LAUREL!"

"But Remus stopped him. Stopped James, rather. Said, very quietly - you know Remus doesn't like interfering when James and Sirius are off making life hell for someone - that it had gone far enough."

"And?"

"Sirius took Snape's wand and went to the Owlery to send it back to him, and they walked away." Laurel finished her report and began to braid her hair back delicately. Treasure sat staring.

"Poor Severus," Lily said rather grudgingly. It stung, being called a Mudblood, but her frustration with James Potter had her almost siding with Snape. Almost.

"They take it too far," Treasure agreed, crossing her arms over her chest and glaring at the door as if Sirius was waiting behind it. Laurel shrugged. "Remember the time Snape Vanished Sirius's pants in the middle of the play off game last year?" she asked. Treasure laughed, "Yeah, and it was raining! Or the time he turned James's hair purple in the middle of Care of Magical Creatures? And the griffin went after him, because they hate that color!"

"James told me he still has the scars…"

"Well I can't say he doesn't deserve it, the massive prick that he is," Lily grumbled. Laurel and Treasure ignored her. "Hey, Tres…did you happen to get a picture of when Sirius was flying around in his sodding wet knickers?" Laurel asked slyly. Treasure turned a light shade of pink. "No, of course not!" she said, scandalized. Laurel cackled nastily, but still managing to maintain her veela charm. Treasure frowned. "Why do you ask?"

"Because, I just happen to have a full, in color snapshot of that lovely moment in Hogwarts history. And, in two years, if I happen to make it onto the yearbook staff, you can rest assured that it'll be in it, if not on the front page -"

"Laurel that's terrible!" Treasure shrieked, shoving her friend over. Laurel said nothing, but hid behind her silver blonde hair, her eyes flashing from green to silver almost fiendishly. "Three…two…" she muttered under her breath.

"Oh, all right, give it here then!" Treasure burst out. Lily fell back on the bed laughing, and Laurel joined in, reaching into her robes and pulling out the photo. "There you go, Tres…as if you haven't seen him wearing less in real life -"

"You're bloody right I haven't!" Treasure bellowed, snatching the picture. Scrutinizing it for a moment, she too fell over on the bed laughing. "D'you see the look on his face? Between mortified and enraged - no wonder he was so eager to make a fool of Snape this year!" she howled. Lily and Laurel exchanged rather secretive looks.

"You find the sight of your boyfriend in his undergarments a joke?" Lily asked airily. Treasure blushed again. "Well, look at him. How scrawny his legs were last year - he filled out quite nicely, I'll have you know -" She broke off coughing.

"Aha! You haven't been a little skank with him, haven't you, Tres?" Laurel asked, grinning crookedly but look as if she desperately wanted an answer. Lily looked very serious all of a sudden. Treasure frowned. "No. We went swimming a few weeks ago is all," she answered.

"Where?!" Laurel demanded. Treasure rolled her eyes. "Where else is there to go swimming around her, Laurel?" she snapped. "You went in the lake? It's bloody freezing in there, Tres, all year round. Not to mention the giant squid…"

"That's what made it fun. According to Sirius, anyway. He seems to find life-threatening situations amusing," Treasure said dryly. "And so do you. You'll probably get married some day…" Laurel retorted. Treasure shrugged. "Wouldn't be so bad. He looks great without a shirt, you know -"

Laurel yelped and smacked Treasure with a pillow.

"Actually," Lily said loudly over the pillow war that had begun to take place. "The giant squid is a vegetarian. It feeds algae and other underwater plants -" Treasure and Laurel turned to stare at each Lily, each with a pillow in her hands. "It's never attacked a student before," Lily went on. "What? What are you staring at me for - I read about it in Hogwarts, a History."

"Lils, it's the very last day of school," Treasure said exasperatedly. Laurel just attacked her with a pillow.

"How did you get a picture of Sirius last year, anyway?" Treasure asked later, as they were sitting on the bed and Summoning the feathers from around the room. Laurel laughed. "Well, last year I had this enormous crush on Sirius…"

"Really?" Treasure said guardedly. Laurel laughed again. "No. But my friend Angelynn did, and I just happened to be carting my camera around. I was taking pictures for the Hogwarts Medium. Unfortunately, they didn't let it accompany the article about Gryffindor's spanking triumph over Slytherin."

"The year went by so fast," Treasure said calmly, chewing contently on a Cauldron Cake. Sirius was sitting beside her on the Hogwarts Express, his head on her shoulder as he slept. Treasure glanced at him and smiled to herself, glaring at she met Lily's eyes and Laurel's smirk. Laurel sat on the floor of the car and was playing a game of wizards chess with Remus, and Lily and James sat watching. James kept trying to engage Lily in conversation, but it was clear that Lily was anything but interested. Peter sat off to the side, alternating between watching the game of wizard's chess and fiddling with James's Snitch. Since Peter's whole episode with the love potions, none of the girls had been over eager to speak to him. Remus and Sirius hadn't been particularly forthcoming either.

"Merlin's beard, I'm glad its over. All that studying for the O.W.L.s drove me insane…" Laurel said, looking up from the board and not noticing how Remus's eyes followed whatever move she made. She tossed her hair over her shoulder and smiled brightly at him, making it clear that perhaps she did notice how he still couldn't take his eyes off of her, even after the months that they'd been dating. Treasure snorted and glanced at Sirius again, shrugging his head off her shoulder.

"What's the idea, Tres?" he asked blearily. She brushed off her should. "You were drooling on me," she said disdainfully. "Like the dog he is, Tres," James said, shooting a grin at her. Sirius scowled, "Witty, Prongs, real witty," he snapped, and turned to Treasure to kiss her on the lips. Lily rolled her eyes and immersed herself behind the book of Charms that Treasure had given her for Christmas.

"We're nearly there," she said loudly from behind her book a few moments later. "It would be wise if you unstuck yourself from his face, Treasure," she said, snapping her book closed. Treasure pulled away with a grin on her face. "Sorry Lils, forgot how very chaste you are," she teased.

"Well, maybe if you stopped acting like bloody Morgan le Fay for a minute, you'd realize that your parents are standing right outside our car and waiting for you to get off the train," Lily said tartly. Laurel doubled over laughing as she finished putting away the chess board; Remus was unloading their trunks and James had already gotten off the train and was standing by Lily's parents, probably hoping to look inconspicuous as he waited to say good-bye to her. Treasure groaned under her breath and waited for the berating her father would give her about how it wasn't proper to be with a boy, and how she was far too young to be in a relationship as she descended the stairs to the platform.

"Hey, Mom, Dad," she said cautiously, kissing her parents on the cheek. Sirius came up behind her, rubbing his neck anxiously. She smiled reassuringly at him. "Hi, sweetie. We missed you so much all year - the house just isn't the same without," Treasure's mother, Dana, said, elbowing her husband in the ribs pointedly. She smiled at her daughter. Treasure smiled back awkwardly. "Daddy, I'd like you to meet Sirius. He's my boyfriend -"

"I should hope so, young lady, with the way you were all over him just now." Sirius winced and Treasure glared, crossing her arms over her chest. "Dad!"

"Behave, Louis," Mrs. Belle said sternly, rolling her eyes at her husband. Sirius extended his hand and cleared his throat awkward. "Its and honor to meet you, Mr. Belle, Mrs. Belle." Mrs. Belle raised her eyebrows and smiled. "Why, Treasure, he's such a gentleman!" she beamed, raising her eyebrows at her husband. Mr. Belle cleared his throat roughly and said nothing. Clearly, he was not pleased.

"Where are your parents, dear?" Mrs. Belle asked. "Oh, they're probably with my brother -" he answered. Mr. Belle frowned. "They you should probably be going to meet them, eh? Let's go, Treasure, you know how crowded the Public Floo Network gets this time of year, and we've got to go cross continent…" Treasure sighed. "Fine, give me a minute, Dad," she said sourly, turning to Sirius and smiling a thank you as her mother led her father away.

"Sorry about that," she said awkwardly, glancing up at Sirius. He shrugged. "You're dad looked like he was about to bloody jinx me," he said. Treasure grinned. "Overprotective. Don't worry about it. He still hasn't gotten used to the fact that I'm all grown up," she said, putting her arms around his neck. Sirius placed his hands on her hips cautiously, looking over her should to see if her father was anywhere in sight. Treasure rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and kiss me before I have to leave," she said, and he did.

"Write me?" she asked, following his gaze as he stared at a couple dressed in expensive black robes lined with what looked like hippogriff fur, and a younger boy who looked suspiciously like a younger Sirius. His Hogwarts tie was green and silver, a Slytherin. "Yeah…of course," he said vaguely. She sighed. "Are those your folks?" she asked, startled as he pulled her closer.

"Yeah, and my slimy git of a brother, Regulus," he said nastily. Treasure shrugged. "Well, they don't look too bad. Except for the whole vampy-wearing-hippogriff thing…"

"They're terrible," he said lowly, as if he didn't want her to hear. She sighed and touched his cheek gently. "I better go," she said, a bit sad and very reluctant. Over her shoulder she could see Remus and Laurel making the very same goodbye, as Laurel's mother looked on rather disdainfully. Evidently she didn't approve of Remus's peaky pale skin and frayed robes. Laurel's mother was even taller than Laurel and clothed in glistening pale blue robes and carrying a dragon scale handbag. Laurel kissed Remus rather obviously on the mouth and sashayed away, glaring up at her mother as their team of house-elves carted away Laurel's trunk.

"See you next year," Sirius said, smiling suddenly and kissing her again. Treasure grinned back up at him. "Maybe I'll convince my parents to let me stay with Lily a bit earlier. I'll come visit. Don't find some pretty succubus over the summer, alright?" she said, turning away and walking back to where her parents and Lily's were already making arrangements for over the summer.

"Bye Lily, bye Treasure!" Laurel hollered as she walked by with her mother. "See you next year!" the girls called back, waving. "You know what, Lils?" Treasure asked, putting an arm around her best friend. "What?"

"I've got a ton of homework…"
