Molly folded her arms. "I've put rather a lot of work into this evening, James. I'd appreciate it if you would at least make the effort to speak to the rest of your family before you go. They're here to celebrate your recovery, and that of your friends." She wasn't entirely sure that he would, he and Sirius, but Molly hoped that her efforts wouldn't be wasted over a fight.
"Please. Just try to get along," she said resignedly, knowing that this group of rather strong willed people would do as they liked. "There's been enough fighting in this family. I can't stand any more." She turned and headed back for the house, spotting Percy and Audrey across the garden, and part of her hoped to whoever might listen that her family wouldn't ever be split like that again.
