Yet another argument was brewing at Grimmauld Place and it was between the same two people. Molly Weasley had taken over the running of the house without Sirius Black's permission and was trying to force Harry and Hermione to do the same as her own children - despite knowing the trauma it caused Harry.

"Molly, this is my house and those two are here under my protection - Harry is my Godson after all"

"And a fine job you've done of that being in Azkaban"

"I think you should apologise, Mrs Weasley. It's not Sirius's fault and you know that" Hermione spoke up.

"I'm only trying to install responsibility in them"

"And you think that Harry being the one to defeat Voldemort isn't being responsible enough?" Sirius smirked.

"You will do as I say or you will go to your rooms" Mrs Weasley actually stomped her foot.

"For the love of…" Sirius had had enough. "I'd like for you to leave if you can't apologise, Molly"

"You just wait until Professor Dumbledore gets here" said petulantly.

"Despite him using this place for his club, he doesn't have dominion over me"

"Someone has eaten a dictionary" Hermione giggled and Harry choked back a laugh. The screaming match went on for another ten minutes before Sirius broke out into a grin and turned to the teens.

"I need you two to go to the Ministry and make a report to the DMLE"

"They are not allowed to leave"

"You will go there" Sirius went on, "And make a report that Molly Weasley is aiding and abetting an escaped criminal" and Mrs Wensley's jaw dropped in shock and she spluttered words.

"They are not allowed to leave this house on Dumbledore's orders"

"Go now, Molly, or these two will do as I say"

"We'll wait until Dumbledore gets here"

"Go"

"I hardly think that was necessary, Sirius" Dumbledore sighed that evening.

"That woman thinks she can tell me what to do in my own home, Albus, and I will not stand for it. She tries to dictate what Harry and Hermione do despite not being her children, makes vague insults about Hermione's parents and I've had enough of her"

"I will speak to her about her choice of words"

"Not enough… I want her out of here"

"I'm afraid I can't allow that"

"Kreacher"

"Nasty blood tra-"

"Kreacher, I want you to get Molly Wensley's belongings and throw them onto the street" Sirius paused, looked at Dumbledore and grinned "His too"

"You can not do this"

"I think you find I can. Kreacher, carry out your instructions and then come back and get ready to take me to the Ministry"

"Sirius, I forbid you from leaving this house"

"You are not in charge of me, my life or Harry anymore. Actually, Albus" Sirius leaned forward and dropped his voice to a dangerous growl" Why are you interested in an underage boy?"
