"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."
"I have always found it smart to try and stay out of owing people." Harry smirked as he looked at Ron. "So I don't technically owe you anything for staying there, however if any of you do still feel like I owe you something then I would just like to point out that I think I probably paid it back tenfold when I not only saved the school twice but also saved your sister." Harry responded, all of the Weasley's glanced between Harry and Ginny. "Yeah, that's what I thought." Harry said before he turned to Sirius. "Sirius, I need to ask you for something."
"Yeah Harry?" Sirius asked in a soft voice.
"I have someone who wants to come over, I was wondering if you could come and give her the secret."
"Now Harry," Remus spoke. "I am not sure that it is a good idea, you should probably talk to Dumbledore about it and..."
"Why?" Harry interrupted. "Last I checked this was Sirius's house, besides I trust this person and it's not like everyone will know the secret if I am wrong."
"I will have to meet with this person first Harry," Sirius said, Harry nodded since he thought that that was reasonable. "when are you meeting up with him or her?"
"Tomorrow in the cauldron at lunch." Harry replied.
"Hmm, I have a Gringotts meeting tomorrow." Sirius said with a thoughtful face. "If you and the person are willing to wait an hour?"
"I can ask tomorrow, if she's not then we'll just set up another time."
"It's a 'she' huh?" Sirius grinned. "Has my lovable godson got a girlfriend?"
"No," Harry rolled his eyes. "I do not. The person is Fleur, remember I told you about her?"
"Oh yes." Sirius nodded. "
"But...but you can't!" Mrs Weasley protested. "It is not safe, we can't trust this girl."
"I trust Harry, Harry trusts the girl." Sirius replied. "If it makes you feel better then we will have another order member go with us." Sirius added when Mrs Weasley was about to speak.
"I'll go." Tonks volunteered. "I haven't spent much time outside of work or home this week." She added as a form of explanation.
"Excellent." Sirius nodded.
"Thanks Tonks." Harry smiled at her before turning back to Sirius. "I am going back upstairs for now, call me if you need me."
"Right, see ya Harry." Sirius smiled at Harry and was pleased when Harry smiled back before leaving. Sirius's biggest regret was leaving Harry to suffer all those years and he would do his best to make up for it. "by the way Molly," Sirius said as he turned back to Mrs Weasley. "I can tolerate a lot of things, insulting me is fine but you will not bother Harry."
"Sirius," Remus spoke.
"No," Sirius shook his head, "as Mrs Weasley so kindly pointed out, I have lost a lot of years of Harry's life and I intend to make up for it. If that means kicking the whole order out of this house to stop them from bothering Harry then I will do that." Sirius said, earning gasps and looks of disbelief from everyone else.
