"They let you join?!" The twins blurted out, having entered the room along with everyone else after the rest of the order had left.
"Pretty much, yeah." Harry said, trying really, really hard not to smirk. The twins gaped at him, unable to believe that they were unable to join when he could. Fortunately for them they would be of age in a couple of days and could then petition to join again.
"That's not fair!" Ron protested.
"Yeah it is," Roman replied. "Harry fought off you-know-who and..."
"Shut it! Nobody was talking to you!" Ron interrupted, glaring at Roman. "You slimy, little snake bastard!" Ginny's face turned red with anger and was more than ready to begin berating him for his behaviour towards Roman but was cut off by none other than Harry.
"Weasley!" Harry barked, causing everyone else to quieten down. "Did I not previously remind you that Roman is a ward of my family and did I not warn you to treat him respectfully? Do you truly not care for your family?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow. Ron paused and his ears turned red, knowing that Harry could still kick him and his family out. If that wasn't enough then there was also the fact that there was the blood feud threat that was still held over the Weasley family.
"Even without that you shouldn't have been so rude!" Ginny said, glaring at Ron. "You should say sorry."
"Yes, he should." Harry said, taking great care to make sure his words were clearly made to sound less like a suggestion and more like an ultimatum, one that clearly said apologize or get out.
"I'm...I'm sorry." Ron said eventually, looking pained as he did so, he quickly walked out of the room before anyone else could say anything.
"Ignore the prat." Harry told Roman.
"Oh, I don't listen to him." Roman said dismissively. "Honestly, half of the time I just go blank when he speaks." He admitted.
Three days later Harry had reached his limit with the Weasley family, the group had been irritating enough on their own and as individuals with the exception of Ginny. Ginny, who was a Slytherin, knew that Harry ran Slytherin house at school, so it was not in her best interest to piss him off so long as she and him were in school together, the fact that he was such a powerful wizard only emphasised that fact. Plus she knew that if Harry was cruel enough then he could punish Roman for anything she did, not that she believed he would do that but he could if he wanted.
After her the member of the Weasley family who had pissed off Harry the least was Arthur Weasley, the father, who spent most of his time at work and when he came back he didn't really do much to annoy Harry beyond asking several ridiculous questions about muggles. Funnily enough the next one who annoyed him the least was Ronald who was doing his best to avoid Harry and the others, but with that being said those few moments he did show up he managed to disgust Harry with his table manners when he wasn't irritating Harry by not so subtly glaring at Roman and himself. Though Harry did know that the redhead was raiding the kitchens at night.
After that the twins would be put on the list, their obsession with pranks had started out as irritating, Harry did not enjoy having to constantly keep on guard and watch out for pranks, something he had to do even more of since the twins became of age and could now do magic outside of school. He had enough on his mind without those two adding more, that's not to mention they had ended up getting Roman a couple of times with minor pranks that while irritating were not bad enough to warrant Harry ripping off their hair and kicking them out, even if he really wanted to. Though their last prank had been far less funny, they ended up getting Ted with a prank just before he was about to leave the house to meet a client. Ted ended up stuck to a wall with most of his clothes ruined and bright red face paint, he had had ended up having to quickly calling out for help to undo the prank. Not something he would normally do but he had been in a rush, thanks to the Weasley twins he had nearly lost a very important client.
Then there was Molly Weasley, the woman who had tried to mother everyone including Ted and Andromeda who were both near the same age as her. Harry had not been happy to have anyone try and mother him (with the exception of Andromeda), especially one who raised as many fuck ups as Molly Weasley had. The mothering was bad enough, but it became even worse when you add in the looks and 'subtle' comments she made when talking about or talking to Roman and Angela. Then there was also her match making problem, Harry had decided that if Mrs Weasley was going to be here then she might as well be useful and he had practised some legilimency on her since she had no shields at all.
Harry had learnt that she was hoping to set Ginny up with himself, partly because of how rich and famous Harry was but also because she had gotten it onto her head that getting married to Ginny would fix a lot of her problems, such as the fact that her daughter was a Slytherin, she apparently believed that if the two married then it could be played off as Ginny just chasing after her lover. She was openly disapproving of the growing relationship between Roman and Ginny, plus she was continually interfering in Tonks's love life as well. She was under the belief that what was happening between Tonks and Charlie was simply a lovers quarrel that could be fixed if the two just simply talked, and had taken to trying to get Tonks to consider reuniting with Charlie, something which caused Tonks to do her best to avoid her while also immensely irritating Harry.
Harry's limit had finally been reached when just before lunch he had walked out of his room to go downstairs but stopped when he saw Molly Weasley in a hallway levitating a bunch of books out from the library and dumping them in a box.
"What are you doing?" Harry asked slowly, the majority of his focus was on willing the woman to not say something that would annoy him.
"I'm throwing these away," Mrs Weasley said, apparently he hadn't focused enough. "they are far too dangerous to be in this house, Merlin knows what would happen if one of you children stumble upon these books." She added just as she was about to put more books into the box, only to be stopped when Harry hit her with a disarming spell, causing her wand to fly out of her hand and into Harry's. "W...what?! How dare you?! Harry James Potter, you give me back my wand right now or so help me I will...ow!" She yelped when Harry hit her with a stinging hex to the jaw.
"Downstairs...in the kitchen with the rest of your family...now." Harry said, his voice and facial expression as cold as a holiday home for dementors. Mrs Weasley flinched at the tone but bravely, and rather stupidly, pressed on.
"Harry, I..."
"NOW!" Harry bellowed, magic amplifying his voice. Mrs Weasley stumbled back slightly before hurrying downstairs.
"Great, glad your all here." Harry said in a way that made it clear he was far from glad. He was currently stood in the kitchen, the Tonks family along with Sirius and Roman were standing by the kitchen counter, behind Harry, while Harry was facing the Weasley's who were all sat at the table. Thor was currently perched on Tonks's shoulder while Jet was on Harry's and was looking at the Weasley's like they were particularly juicy prey. "Let me make something abundantly clear, with the exception of Ginny, I don't like any of you." Harry said bluntly, taking the Weasley's by surprise. "Matter of fact, Ginny, go over by the people I like section." Harry said as he gestured behind him. Ginny blinked but did as she was told and went to stand with the others. "Atta girl," Harry said without looking at her. "now, do you know who I am?" Harry asked.
"W...well," Arthur Weasley coughed. "...you're..."
"Pissed off," Harry interrupted. "royally pissed off." Harry said with Jet hissing in agreement. "You, 'Daddy Weasley', besides from a disturbing fascination with muggles, you haven't done much to annoy me. Your family on the other hand are different stories." Harry said before turning to Ron. "You...fuck it, I'm not even going to bother with you. You're just a dick, a pathetic one, so pathetic that you might as well be your actual dick." Harry said before turning towards the twins, he was about to speak but paused and turned back to a gaping Ron. "As a matter of fact I am going to bother, stop eating so much of our food and stop being such an asshat. The reason your family is so poor is probably because of how much money they waste on your stomach. If you so much as touch one of our 'jammie dodgers' then I will make you pay dearly."
"Harry, I..."
"Shut it." Harry cut Mrs Weasley off. "I'll get to you in a sec." Harry said before turning to the twins. "And now for you pair of bullying idiots."
"We're not bullies!" The twins protested.
"As someone with years of experience being bullied, yes...yes you are." Harry told them as he glared at the two. "Your love of pranks has gone stale, grow the fuck up. Because of you two, Ted nearly lost out an important client because he was trapped in one of your stupid pranks. And if Ted hadn't made that meeting then that client could have been bankrupt by now, you two idiots literally could have cost one man his job and reputation while ruining the life of another, all because you can't stop with the damn pranks. You want to be let into the order but all you do is play prank after prank, yeah…you'd be really helpful against Voldemort." Harry snorted before turning to Mrs Weasley. "And you...I could write a bloody book on you."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Mrs Weasley frowned.
"First of all, I...am...not...getting...with your daughter." Harry said in a slow voice. "Get over it!" Mrs Weasley's face turned almost as red as her hair but Harry continued talking before she could respond. "Second of all, stop smothering everyone. You're not my mother, you're not their mother with the exception of one." Harry said as he gestured behind himself. "You are not mother of the year, of your four kids living here the only seemingly tolerable one is Ginny. The other three are bullies, thieves and idiots."
"I...I am a good mother!" Mrs Weasley said indignantly.
"Doesn't matter if you are, that's not an excuse to mother everyone." Harry said, unfazed. "Also, what the fuck did you think you were doing taking out books from our library to throw away?"
"They're dangerous!" Mrs Weasley hissed. "There are all sorts of dark and dangerous spells in there, I was throwing them out..."
"You had no right!" Harry yelled as he slammed a fist down onto the table, causing the Weasley's to flinch. Jet hissed loudly for several moments before Harry continued speaking. "Those books, dangerous or not, are Black family property. You had no right to throw them away without permission from myself or Lord Black, something I know you didn't have. That is my property!" Harry said, he used legilimency to see if she had already thrown anything out, thankfully she had not, apparently Harry had managed to get there before she could do anything. Harry was really starting to enjoy being able to use legilimency, though he also made a mental note not to abuse or overuse it. If he did it would only be a matter of time before something bad happened. "If I find out that you have thrown out anything of mine then you can expect to be charged for however much that thing was worth, and if you even try it then I will remind you that all of you have brought valuable things to this property, things that can be thrown out just as easily as these books."
"Um...guys," Sirius spoke up. "this is getting a bit...much. Perhaps..."
"No," Harry cut Sirius off. "it is long past time for this to be fixed, Sirius. You were the one who invited this family without asking the rest of us and we're the ones suffering because of it. I have Voldemort and his fucking death eaters chasing after which is why most of my time is divided between training to not die and relaxing so I don't overwork myself. I am not having my limited relaxation time cut down because of these imbeciles, nor am I having the rest of my family suffer because of them." Harry said before turning back to the Weasley's. "I'm giving you fuckers a couple of options, option one is you get the hell out of this house."
"Your kicking us out?!" Mr Weasley blurted out in shock.
"I'm giving you the option to leave, one which I hope you take." Harry said in a cold voice. "Then there is your second option, you all behave and start paying rent."
"What?!" The Weasley's (with the exception of Ginny) collectively blurted out.
"We've let you stay here for free so far and none of you have been appreciative enough since you seem fine with turning this into a madhouse and messing with our stuff. Bad enough that we have to endure you, no way as hell are we going to do it for free as well." Harry snorted. "And then there is your final option, the option where you refuse both of the previous options, if you do then I personally boot your asses out of here. You have till tomorrow morning to decide between leave, rent and behave or painfully being forced to leave. Choose wisely." Harry said before he turned and held out a hand, Thor flew to Harry and landed on top of his hand. Harry nodded to the others before he turned and left the room.
"Harry." Jet said once they left the room.
"Yeah?" Harry asked as he walked away.
"I hope they choose the third one." Jet admitted.
A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked the chapter. Before anyone mentions the twins's age, I checked just before writing this chapter and realised they should have already been of age by now. But I'm changing many things from canon anyway so fuck it.
Also I just want to address a few reviews from guest accounts, this'll be fun:
'You made Harry join the order? I'm out.'
I made Harry join the order because this particular Harry wants to fight Voldemort but doesn't hate Dumbledore, so he is logically going to want to join a group that could help him with his goal. But if you still don't want to read then fair enough.
'It's bad enough you made Harry an absolute insufferable softie every single chapter, but now you made him answerable to Dumbledore? Way to complete ruin the character.'
Well...I don't know about him being a 'softie' every chapter, I mean...did you see the chapter where he killed a basilisk? Or the one where he fought three dangerous magical creatures before going out to fight a fourth while injured? How about the one where he tortured Lucius Malfoy? Or how about...well...you get the idea. Also Harry may be a member of the order but that doesn't in anyway make him become submissive to Dumbledore. Also how does this ruin the charater? Harry wants to fight Voldemort, Dumbledore (who is a very powerful wizard) has a group of people who could assist him in fighting Voldemort, then why not join? Harry doesn't lose anything since he won't instantly do each and every single thing he is told to do without question.
'People are idiots. "I am glad to see Dumbledore not getting his way." As if it is not beneficial in the extreme to have Harry answerable to him and as a weapon. Such a joke. Both the reviewers and the author. So much for "we don't like Dumbledore" '
Well...yes, Dumbledore didn't entirely get his way. Canon Dumbledore and this Dumbledore both wanted to keep Harry out of it as much as posssible. Try reading his last line at the end of the last chapter. Also why does everyone suddenly think that Harry is now completly answerable to Dumbledore? Thank god I didn't have Harry accept a lemon drop because everyone would likely start going on and on about how Harry is suddenly Dumbledore's bitch or something like that. As for your last comment, I have previously stated that I actually do like Dumbledore's character (or at least what he is intended to be), but I also like bashing him, so I bash him, simple as. This is literally the one story in my collection where I don't bash him. Also, if I am a joke then why are you 81 chapters into my story?
Anyway thanks for reading guys, my writing time is admittdly cut down since i have a full time job (and I did just come back from work a couple of hours ago today while having also worked over time yesterday, I still have three more days of work left before I get my days off, five straight days of twelve hour shifts in a factory are not fun, let me tell you) but I will try my best to get these chapters out. Now I've got to go to sleep since I have to leave the house tommorow before 7. Thanks for reading, feel free to leave a review.
