Atsurekino Kurome: alrighty then folks! There has been a high demand that I add other chapters to this story. People protested that it couldn't be done, and that there had to be more. Well here you are. The next chapter. And it isn't the last either. Just don't expect a third one soon.

Harry stood there defiantly. Most of the room's occupants stared at him in shock, while others tried to whisper about his change in attitude towards the Weasley matriarch. Harry had always been pleasant towards her. Quiet and polite. It had delighted the woman to no end that there was a child as polite as he was out there. The twins stared at him with something akin to a mix of pride and growing dread for his life. Ron was so shocked that he had stopped eating and had dropped his fork. Hermione was horrified that he had talked to an adult in that manner. Ginny just blinked blankly. She hadn't been giving too much responses to anything he said since the revelation of them being related. He would have been worried had it not been in line with her personality before they met. He could see Sirius and Remus having a heated discussion about what had just happened with their hands.

"What makes you think it's because of me?!" Sirius motioned wildly.

"Oh so he just happens to decide to talk back to her the day you decide you aren't going to take what's been happening anymore?" Remus tossed his hands in the air in exasperation.

"Oi! I didn't tell him to talk back to her! I told him that I wouldn't let her talk to me like that anymore! I had no clue that he was going to do this!" Sirius looked affronted but couldn't help the smirk that creeped onto his face.

"What was that Harry dear?" like most people in the room she was a bit shocked at the turn of events.

Harry didn't say anything, just pulled out his wand and cleaned up his mess magically. He still stood there defiantly with a faint smirk, reminicent of one many had seen on his father's face. His green eyes glowed in challenge as the woman before him began to turn red from embarrassment and anger. "Harry James Pott-"

"Don't like it do you?" his voice was quiet, but it cut through the beginning of her tirade easily. "You don't like being undermined do you? You're so used to scaring people into listening to you that when some doesn't fall in line you can't stand it."

"Mate I wouldn't- URK!" Ron started only to be cut off when the twins hissed and jumped on him. They all shrank back when cold green eyes turned in their direction before turning back to their mother.

"This IS NOT YOUR house. I AM NOT one of your children. You have NO right to treat MY GODFATHER like he is a common criminal in HIS house!" his magic, in answer to his mood leaked out causing plates and picture frames to rattle. "And don't even think about blaming him for this. He had nothing to do with it." he paused to gain control over his magic before speaking again. "I am thankful for everything that you've done for me. You took me in when Sirius and Remus couldn't. You showed me a kindness that not many others before you had. And you showed me how it felt to be wanted not tolerated. But it isn't needed any more. He might not be able to leave the house right now, but Sirius is my legal and rightful guardian. My parents chose HIM. You are dishonoring their choice by treating him the way you have been. I don't remember them, but what I do know is that they WOULD NOT like it. I DON'T like it." With that he turned and left the room. By the time that he had made it to his and Ron's shared room the others had followed him, not giving him enough time to cool off. They had most likely been sent out of the room so she could explode. He could hear the explosion down stairs and found himself being wound up tighter because he just knew they woman had ignored everything he said.

"Really Harry was that necess-"

"Shut up Hermione. Yes it was necessary. I was tired of the way that she was treating Sirius. She had no right." he ignored the look of indignation of the witch's face and tossed himself onto his bed.

"But Harry you didn't-"

"I'm actually reminded of a similar speech that his mother made while standing up for me. It was in fact spoken to the very same person." They all looked up to see Remus smiling tiredly in the doorway. "During the last war, my lycanthropy was used to contact the werewolf packs. When it became known to the others in the Order what I was Molly was the first to protest [1]. Lily was the one to shoot her down, and what a show it was." When he saw that Hermione was suitably chastised he smiled warmly at Harry and simply opened his arms. Harry knowing what he wanted jumped up and ran into the waiting arms. "If you would give me a few moments alone with Harry?" Harry could could the smile in the older mans' voice, but it was not a question or a suggestion.

"But-"

"That was not a suggestion Miss Granger. I would like to talk with Harry for a few moments." Though he couldn't see her face, Harry knew that she must have been a bit lost at the fact that one of her favorite professors had spoken to her in such a way. Especially one that she had harbored a not so secret crush on. Harry snorted mentally. That was less likely to happen than Remus returning Tonks' affection. Which if Harry wasn't mistaken Remus DID... but for reasons that were beyond Harry, he refused to show that he did.

Once they had all shuffled out of the room. Harry waited for it. He was unsure I he would get scolded or not for what he had done. "Despite what Miss Granger seems to be murmuring outside the door I am not here to reprimand you for what you did." Remus spoke quietly. "Though you could have done it in a more... tactful manner... you are mother's son and it would seem that being blunt and to the point is the only way you can deal with something when someone you care about it hurt." Neither of them moved for a few minutes before Remus spoke again.

"You eased both of our fears when you confronted Sirius." Remus had always been the quieter one, but now his voice sounded so small. Before he could protest Remus continued. "Harry the last time I saw you before your third year, you were a year old and had grabbed James' wand and turned all of us different colors. There was no guarantee that you would want either of us in your life. Especially seeing as how I vanished the way I did. And with the way that woman goes on about you, you would think you were her eighth child. Not just the best friend of her youngest son." They both sat down on the bed and Harry glanced at the door. Remus nodded in understanding, flicked out his wand, and silently cast a Silencio.

"I... I actually can't stand her." Harry whispered despite the silencing charm. "She compares her children to each other... and she's... she's a bully... just like Dudley... she does it in differents ways... but she's still a bully. If that's how she... when they rescued me before second year, she punished Ron and the twins and as pretty as you please treated me as if nothing had happened. I don't see her as family... I can't. She tells the twins that they will never amount to anything because they want to open a joke shop."

"Oh Harry. You know that Lily would have never done that don't you? She would have supported you no matter what. All of us would have. Unless you had ended up in Hufflepuff. Then we would have been up in arms." Harry snorted.

"The Hat would have sooner placed me in Slytherin."

"Want to know a secret?" Remus leaned in conspiratorially grinning from ear to ear. It served as a reminder that Sirius and the twins weren't the only pranksters in the house. "Sirius wasn't the only one to argue with the Hat."

"Who?" Harry scrunched his nose.

"Your Dad. It wanted to place him in Slytherin too." Remus laughed at Harry's shocked look. "Harry in order to do what we did, you need to be cunning. That and your Gran was a Black. Most Blacks go into Slytherin or Ravenclaw. And while James was smart... he was better suited for loud confrontations or sneak attacks like Sirius. So I can honestly tell you EVERYONEin your family would have been proud of you even if you had ended up in Slytherin. Would we have protested? Oh definitely. We're Gryffindors! But we wouldn't have really cared."

Harry just sighed as he felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. "Harry... as you know with my situation... it is highly unlikely that I will ever have a child. And Sirius is in the same situation. You are our child Harry. Our cub. There isn't much that you could do that could ever make us hate you. We will never turn you away. We will never make you feel like you are worthless. You have no idea how hard it was for us to sit there not being able to write you or visit you like we wanted. There were several times that we caught ourselves enroute to see you. But again we weren't certain how you would receive us. Not after not writing you for so long." Remus didn't say anything as Harry tossed himself at him. He just held him. Unlike others in this house, he understood what it was like to find out that someone out there DID care.

Atsurekino Kurome: Well there you go. It's only he beginning, because as you see Molly doesn't listen and I had to throw in some angst with Hermione also.

[1] I know, I know! The way Joe Rowling wrote Molly Weasley she would never do this. But with her overbearing personality it's not that much of a stretch. Wizarding Britain has only heard stories about Fenrir Greyback and his ilk... So they automatically think of monsters when they hear werewolf. Not the unfortunate kind souls like Remus.
