"Probably the death eaters I killed yesterday" Hermione was about to lecture him but before she could do that, Harry yawned and gave her a little smile before he picked up some toast and stood up "alright Gin, I'm off, I got to talk to Dobby for a minute about a special project then I'm going to Dumbledore. Do you want to come?"
"No thanks, I've got to study for my exams and finish breakfast" Harry had mentally translated that into Ginny speak and heard it as 'I'll watch through your mind' "and what project?" Ginny could have just pulled the answer out of Harrys mind but they both agreed to only do it with the others permission.
"I'll tell you after the meeting" Harry left.
He went and talked with Dobby for a minute or two before he made his way to the headmasters office. When he entered he was greeted with the sight of Dumbledore sitting at his desk, and Hermione standing to Dumbledore's right while Ron stood to Dumbledore's left. Hermione stood in a business-like manner while Ron looked smug and arrogant.
"Hello sir" Harry greeted the man "is there a reason I've been summoned here with the most annoying pair in school?"
"I'd watch yourself Potter" Ron spoke "we're members of the order now"
"And I'm sure Voldemort is cowering in fear at the idea of meeting an all talk and no walk pair of Gryffindor teenagers" Harry sneered in a way that would make Snape proud "now to repeat my previous question, why am I here with the shortest fuse in Hogwarts and the book worm?"
"Harry" Dumbledore spoke "I'm very concerned with your actions. Yesterday you slaughtered another huge number of death eaters."
"In my defence" Harry paused "I really, really wanted to. What happened to the werewolves anyway?"
"Mr Lupin has taken the responsibility for them, I presume he has arranged a safe house for them or sent them to their families. While you did a noble thing by protecting the weak, your methods are unacceptable"
"Really?" Harry asked with an amused tone "from what I've seen so far the only people who really complain are death eaters and you, the majority of people are okay with what I do. In fact I've met quite a few aurors during my outings and they all seem to be very supportive."
"Harry" Hermione interrupted "I get that you feel like you're doing the right thing, but this can't go on. You can't just kill every death eater you see"
"I don't kill every death eater I see" Harry objected "I offered the dark mark removal potion and about twenty death eaters took it so far, I can safely say that I will not kill them or any others who take it before the deadline expires. But, yes, I will kill the rest"
"Harry, you have lost your way" Dumbledore said "I want to help you find it, I'd like you to join the order"
"And I'd like to currently be in bed with Ginny but we can't have everything we want"
"Harry" Dumbledore continued "you're a smart man, and your wife is a smart witch"
"Smartest witch in her year" Harry smiled at Hermione who clearly disagreed
"The two of you are incredibly intelligent" Dumbledore complimented "therefore you should be able to see the clear benefits of joining with the order. We can accomplish so much together"
"Can we?" Harry asked "I've lost count of all the death eaters I've stopped, how many have the order stopped? Keeping in mind that all the people they've caught and sent to Azkaban were freed by Voldemort and Malfoy"
"Harry, we have a large amount of resources and very talented witches and wizards"
"Talented?" Harry looked at Ron "Talented?" Harry repeated "you have Ronald Weasley join you and your selling point is talented?" Ron growled and moved forward.
"Mr Weasley" Dumbledore stopped him from attacking Harry, in reality he stopped Harry from hurting him "that will be quite enough"
"Headmaster" Harry spoke "while you may have some talented people like Lupin, Black and Moody, you don't use them properly. You know how impressive Moody is in battle, yet you've restricted him to stunning on the very rare cases he gets into battle. All you do is have him on guard duty or run errands for you, admittedly he is a multi-talented man, but frankly you're being too defensive.
From what I've seen the death eaters are the offensive ones and you and your group stick purely to defence, well, in my opinion the best defence is a good offence. I've took the fight to them and their afraid, they're afraid of me and what I can do"
"Yes, but Harry" Hermione spoke "can't you see the damage you're doing? Those death eaters are still people"
"What's that?" Harry pointed out the window at the sky "oh look, it's the damn I give, it's flying away, it's flying and it's gone."
"Language Harry" Hermione scolded
"I know English and parsletounge" Harry replied "now, I'd rather kill one death eater than let him kill twenty innocents. That girl, I rescued her, I saved her. Me, I saved her and the other werewolves. Not you, or the order who only came after I had tracked them down and sent a tip the following morning. Those people, they would've woken up to another morning of torture and hell if not for the fact that I stopped their tormentors from doing the same thing to them or anyone else".
