Harry had spent the rest of the day in his room, reading and hanging out with Selena until dinner time when he came down stairs into the kitchen. He saw many order members leaving, a few of them sent him a few dirty looks, likely cause they or their friends were hurt by Harry. When Harry entered the kitchen he saw Sirius, the Weasley's and a select few order members left. Those order members were Mad-Eye Moody, Shacklebolt, Tonks and Remus Lupin.
"Moony? When did you get here?" Harry asked.
"Just recently." Remus said as he gave Harry a quick hug before they both took their seats at the table. "I am glad to see you Harry, you are looking much better than before."
"Healthy eating." Harry shrugged before looking around. Ginny was sat in-between Shacklebolt and Tonks who was showing off her powers by transforming so she had a pig mouth then changing it into a duck beak, Ginny found it hilarious and Harry thought it was quite funny as well. All of the Weasley's were sat at the table with Hermione while Remus sat opposite Harry with Sirius sitting at the head of the table. with Moody standing in the corner. "Is everything alright?" Harry asked Sirius.
"Yeah," Sirius rolled his eyes. "we were just discussing Dumbledore's standing with the ministry."
"Oh? Do tell." Harry said in a curious voice.
"It's not really good for Dumbledore." Arthur said as Shacklebolt handed Harry a newspaper, Harry took the newspaper and from a few seconds of looking was able to learn that the ministry was basically accusing Dumbledore of going crazy and senile while Fudge was saying all was fine.
"Fudge is using all of his power and influence at the ministry to target Dumbledore and smear anyone who says that Voldemort is back." Sirius said. "We think that Fudge thinks that Dumbledore is after his job."
"Please," Harry snorted. "Dumbledore is the headmaster of Hogwarts, Chief Warlock and Supreme Mugwump. I think Minister of magic is practically a step down at this point."
"True." Sirius grinned. "But old Fudge does not see it that way. Anyway, the fact that nobody is making any claims about him being back other than Dumbledore is not helping Dumbledore's case. We think that Voldemort is just lying low, biding his time, building up his army again. Years ago he had a huge amount of people at his command, but gathering followers isn't the only thing he seems interested in. We believe that Voldemort is after something."
"Alright, enough of that." Mrs Weasley said. "It's time to eat." She added before she began handing out plates and food, Harry knew that she was attempting to stop him from learning but he was hungry so he decided to just wait until after he ate and began eating.
"Nearly time for bed I think." Mrs Weasley yawned once everyone had finished eating.
"Yeah, yeah, but first, questions." Harry said as he turned to Sirius. "What have the order actually been doing?" Harry asked, everyone paused and looked at him. "Like going out on missions? Have you lot just been planning something? What's going on?"
"Ah, well..." Sirius started only to be interrupted.
"Now hold on, Harry, you are too young to know." Mrs Weasley said, no longer looking tired at all.
"Since when was it possible for someone to be too young to ask questions?" Sirius countered.
"Hang on! How come Harry gets his questions answered and we don't?!" Fred demanded.
"Yeah, we've been asking and all we get is being told to stay quiet and stop asking." George added.
"'You're too young'," Fred said, mimicking his mother's voice. "Harry's not even of age, how come he gets to know?"
"Hey, it's not my fault if you don't know." Sirius shrugged. "That's your mum and dad's call, not mine. Harry on the other hand..."
"It is not down to you to decide what is best for Harry!" Mrs Weasley said, an angry expression on her face. "You haven't forgotten what Dumbledore said I suppose?"
"Which part?" Sirius asked, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
"The bit about not telling Harry more than he needs to know." She said, glaring at Sirius.
"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!"
