"I do not intend to tell him more than he needs to know," Sirius growled at her. "but I think he deserves the right to know at least some things. After all he was the one who defeated Voldemort in the first place and if his stories are true then he not only stopped Voldemort twice since then and freed not only me while also capturing Pettigrew. Dumbledore himself would say that Harry is crucial to the way!"
"He is not a member of the order!" Mrs Weasley pointed out. "He is only fifteen..."
"And has gone through things that most adults could not handle." Sirius interrupted.
"Nobody is denying what he has done but he is still..."
"He is not a child!" Sirius cut her off.
"He is not an adult either!" She said, red faced, not used to someone talking back to her like this. "He is not James, Sirius!"
"I am perfectly clear on who he is!" Sirius snapped.
"I am not sure you are," Mrs Weasley said disbelievingly. "the way you talk it sometimes feels like you think you have your best friend back!"
"And what the hell is wrong with that?!" Harry demanded, bringing the attention of the room back to him. "I would be honoured to be compared to my father but I also know that Sirius is well aware that I am not my father, if you want to explain the fact that I am not James Potter to someone then please go find Snape as soon as you have a free day."
"What is wrong Harry is that you are not an adult, you still go to school and the adults responsible for you should not forget it." Mrs Weasley said, glancing back at Sirius.
"Are you trying to say that I am not a responsible godfather?!" Sirius demanded.
"I am..."
"I am an adult," Harry cut her off. "how am I not at this point? I am legally emancipated, I have tattoos, I have fought dark wizards and creatures plus I am no longer a virgin, what else do I have to do to be considered an adult?" Harry asked.
"You lost your virginity?" Tonks asked.
"That just proves that you are irresponsible!" Mrs Weasley said before Harry could respond. "Arthur, back me up!" Arthur did not speak immediately, something which surprised Mrs Weasley.
"Dumbledore knows that Harry is living here Molly, Harry will have to be filled into a certain extent since he is staying at headquarters."
"Yes, but there is a difference between that and inviting him to ask whatever he likes!"
"Personally," Remus said in a quiet voice as he looked at Molly. "I think it's better that Harry gets the facts, not all the facts," Remus added when he saw that Mrs Weasley was about to interrupt. "but the general picture of us rather than a garbled version from others." Remus said, alluding to the fact that he knew of the extended ears that the twins were using to try and listen in on the meeting.
"Well," Mrs Weasley, red faced, looked around for support but did not find any. "well...I can see that I am going to be overruled. I will just say this, Dumbledore must have had a reason for not wanting Harry to know to much and speaking as someone with his best interests in heart, I..."
"He is not your son." Sirius said quietly, though not quiet enough as Mrs Weasley managed to hear him.
"He is as good as!" She snapped, glaring at Sirius. "Who else does he have?!"
"He has me!"
"Yes," Mrs Weasley rolled her eyes. "the thing is, it has been rather difficult for you to look after him when you have spent most of his life locked up in Azkaban." Sirius got to his feet and was about to say something, something that probably should not be heard by children when Harry beat him to the punch and stood up as well and turned to Mrs Weasley.
"Woman, pump the breaks." Harry said, glaring at her.
"Harry, I..."
"You pump those breaks!" Harry cut her off. "First of all, how dare you talk to him like that?! In his own house no less!"
"Do not speak to..."
"I will speak to you however I damn well please!" Harry cut her off.
"Hey!" Ron stood up. "Don't talk to..."
"Ron sit down!" Harry snapped, "you lower the IQ of the whole street, we're not talking about food so you're useless to this conversation." Harry said before turning back to Mrs Weasley. "Sirius spent years locked up in a prison cell with dementors all because he trusted the wrong person and made a rash mistake during a moment of grief! Don't treat him as if he just couldn't be bothered to care for me! Especially when he makes more of an effort than half of the adults in my life. Second of all, do not talk about me and my future if I am not the one you are talking to about it! Third of all, 'he is as good as'? I am appreciative but I am also sorry as I cannot honestly say I do see you like a mother."
"What?" Mrs Weasley stepped back as if slapped. "But Harry..."
"Mrs Weasley I spent about two weeks of summer at your house in second year, a couple more in the summer of my fourth year. That's it. I am not going see you like a mother because of four weeks in your house."
"But...but..."
"I have one mother," Harry tapped the flower on his left hand's tattoo, "the woman who took a killing curse from the worst dark lord of all time just for me, nobody is replacing her."
"You ungrateful prat!" Ron shouted as his mother seemed unable to speak. "You owe us for letting you stay in our house!"
"No, because first of all you were the one who came at night and picked me up without me asking, plus if anything you owe me." Harry responded.
"Oh yeah, how is that?!"
"Simple, because I paid for those four weeks I spent in your house."
"What?!" Mrs Weasley blurted out before she turned to Ron. "You took money for him to stay?!"
"No, I didn't!" Ron quickly shook his head.
"I did." Arthur said in a quiet voice.
"Arthur?" Mrs Weasley gasped with disbelief.
"When Harry first came he asked if he could talk to me in private and insisted on paying for his stay," Arthur explained. "I tried to refuse but he was more stubborn than me and he paid me a fair amount of money, more than I even wanted to accept."
