We gave our oath to Dad to obey the directives of the Order, and we take that oath seriously.
Frankly, if Mum hasn't added the condition for our joining the Order that we had to pass our NEWTs, we would have been mighty tempted to blow up the Great Hall with a blaze of fireworks by now. And fly off to set up Weasley Wizarding Whizbangs as a proper business in New London.
You have to understand that we don't control our associates at Hogwarts. We're also a step removed from the group now that we don't have a totally secure method of communicating with them anymore, since we've aged out of our own Lock. If you want to give 'em conditions, you're going to have to make the case to them directly.
If things get much more desperate, we don't know if we can say for sure whether they'll listen. No one's spoiling to murder anyone, believe us.
