If there weren't children in the room...

Summer at Grimmauld Place was, let's face it, the worst summer Molly Weasley had spent since her first son had gone to Hogwarts. Sure, there were some...accidents...with flying cars and so-called joke shop careers, but this was horrible. Order meetings every other day, no one really knowing what exactly You-Know-Who was going to do, Dumbledore not letting anyone contact Harry with information, generally disagreeing with Sirius, Severus Snape making comments about how horrible Harry was in school (he made a few about Fred and George but those were pretty much what everyone said) and even if Harry wasn't her son she still knew he was nothing like that. On top of that, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George were all still trying to find out what was going on with the Order.
"You are all still to young!"
She would always say. An Order meeting had just finished, and the kids managed to slip in and try to find out what happened.
"So where's You-Know-Who?"
"Ron, I told you not to ask that."
"Really, Hermione? I thought you said that was the first thing we should ask!"
"She clearly said do not ask this question."
"Shut up Ginny."
At least the kids were arguing over something of general importance. Sirius and Arthur were going on about flying motorcycles!
"It's technically a muggle object..."
"But it was made before the ban on experimenting with muggle objects using magic!"
"That might not work out with the ministry, though."
"Not like I can do anything about that. I just want to know where it is."
"No idea. Actually, now that I think about it, the motor cycle could be held as property, as long as you didn't intend to use it, even if it worked theoretically... I did this once with a flying car."
"You have a FLYING car? Awesome!"
"Had. Harry and Rom decided to fly it to school in their second year."
"They did WHAT?"
Molly sighed. She looked over at the entrance, which Tonks was cautiously avoiding the coat rack as to not knock it over. Severus Snape looked more annoyed than usual. He was looking at the children.
"And this is what the Order will be taken over with if the Dark Lord kills everyone, which is inevitable."
He said to no one in particular with a look of disgust.
"Actually, it might not be as bad as it is now."
He glanced over at Sirius and Arthur. Molly had just about had it. She whipped out her wand and pointed it at Snape.
"Now you listen, Severus Snape. You are always saying there is no reason to be fighting You-Know-Who. That we will never win. You call him the Dark Lord, and glare at anyone except Dumbledore who calls him Vol-"
Molly stuttered but used her courage.
"Voldemort. And it is a glare that comes from someone respecting someone else. Whether you like it or not, these people"
She pointed at the kids.
"Will be the next to join the Order, and by the looks of how you act, you may not be in in. Choose which side you're on. And if you ever make another rude comment about any of my family I swear I will murder you. I would now but there are children in this room."
Snape looked taken aback. Just for a moment. He glared at Molly and turned out the door, his cloak swishing behind him. At the same time as this, Ron and Ginny were saying
"Hey!"
As if to mean that they weren't kids. She didn't want to deal with them, and luckily Sirius and Arthur made some childish outburst at the time.
"I meant them."
They both quieted down instantly.
"Sorry, Molly."
