Del comments :
Throughout the verbal fight between the Weasley kids and Sirius, I
felt like screaming at the twins "Here ! That's EXACTLY why nobody
wants to make kids like you members of the Order ! Because you're
unreliable under pressure". Molly might be annoying at times but she's
right : the kids are *kids* and must to a certain extent be treated as
such. To what extent is the problem of course.
