"Let me out! LET. ME. OUT!!!" Erin kicked against the door. "Daddy!"
There was whining outside of the door. "Remus! Let her out!"
"You heard Dumbledore." Remus told him. He didn't like it any better than Sirius did, but she couldn't be trusted not to send anything to Harry that could compromise things or try to go to him and Dumbledore certainly did not want that.
"We could just keep her confined to the house…"
"No, Sirius, we tried that already. She found a way through."
"Remus!" Erin begged.
"No, Erin."
"But Harry's so alone there! And you're not telling him anything!"
"That's not my decision, love. That's Dumbledore's. Don't worry, you won't be in there for long and just think with Molly doing a cleaning—"
"That woman is taking everything over! It's not her house! She can't tell me what to bloody do! She can go sod off!"
Remus cleared his throat. "Yes, well, dear, you'll be let out when Dumbledore says you can."
"Blast, Dumbledore! She's my kid!"
"We don't have a choice in the matter, Sirius. Erin can't come out of her room until this is resolved, and you cannot go outside. Now, I mean it. It's for your own protection."
Sirius growled at his best friend. "Then I'm staying with her."
"Sirius, do you want to cause another row with Molly?"
"It's not my bloody fault that woman has got a dirty mind when it comes to me and Erin in canine form! We were playing and she should very well mind her own bloody business!"
"I agree, but you know she's not going to." Remus sighed. "Now, please, we're all on short tempers as it is. We just want to keep the peace. We're supposed to be fighting Death Eaters. And with you telling Erin everything there is to know about the Order—"
"And why shouldn't I? She's my kid. I can tell her if I want. It's not my fault that Molly thinks her own brood is too young to know."
Remus sighed again. "It just has to be this way, for now." He told him. "Please, Sirius."
Sirius swore before knocking back towards his bedroom. "This is my bloody house! And that woman should do well to remember it!" His door slammed and Remus pinched the bridge of his nose.
