Good beginning to a much longer story! Wish you had gone on a bit more. Love to see how others react to them. See if Sirius would stand up to Molly. See if Harry learns to trust Tonks, etc. Over a decade, guess my wish is toast.

Couldn’t you have a yelling match between Harry and Molly? Scenes like that are epic.
Nice short story.

I enjoyed this story. I've never bought, nor been comfortable with, Hermione being anything less than Harry's best and most loyal friend. Sure, she makes mistakes and has her faults and I don't expect to get along with Harry 24/7 (and she doesn't) and I don't expect her to be Harry's love interest in every fic. In fact, I'm more than comfortable with Harry being in relationships with other girls as long as Hermione is still at his side as his best friend. I just can't get into any story that has her willingly, of her own free will, ignoring, turning her back on or betraying Harry. I've read plenty of stories where Hermione ignores, turns her back on or betrays Harry while under the influence of potions and/or compulsions or other types of manipulation, gets free of those potions, compulsions and/or other manipulations one way or another and goes back to being Harry's most loyal/trusted/best friend or love interest, and some of them are really good.
This is a good example of that type of story. She's not potioned or compelled (at least not in the magical sense) to ignore Harry, but she's manipulated into it by someone who knows how difficult it is for her to go against the word of authority figures that she respects, and as soon as Harry makes her see Dumbledore as less than the infalible hero that her books portray him as, she starts to see that automatically trusting an authority figure that you admire to always know what's best for everyone isn't always the best thing to do, especially when it comes to the well-being of your best friend.
Thank you for writing this so that Hermione can make a mistake and learn from it without Harry being so stubborn as to not give her a chance to both explain her actions and make amends for them because he knows that what she did is so out of character for her that she at least deserved that chance. I've read too many stories where Hermione does something to upset Harry and instead of talking it out with her to see if what she did could have been misinterpreted, unintentional or just a mistake based on the wrong/not enough information, he throws a tantrum and shuts her out even though she's never given him a reason to doubt her before, so it's refreshing to see a story where Harry is angry but is at least willing to give her a chance to explain herself, himself a chance to explain to her why her actions made him angry and both of them a chance to try to work past it to maintain their friendship or turn it into something deeper.

way too short. It would make an excellent first Chapter for a bigger Story.

Agreed! Harry was the Heir to the House of Black. He shouldn't need to room with Ron. It was another way to control how much time Sirius and Harry spent together.

A/N: "Why did Harry and Ron have to share a room? It was a mansion and Sirius would love the idea of setting up a permanent room for Harry to live in."
Answer: Sharing wasn't a space requirement. IMO, it was done for one reason only: Dumbledore needed a way to keep 24-hour tabs on Harry. Remember that he was neither looking at nor talking to Harry from the time of the trial up through the DoM debacle. This meant he would not be able to meander through Harry's mind like he usually did; he would need some help to find out what Harry was thinking and feeling.
Harry's legendary nightmares (even worse since Cedric's death) were obviously known by Dumbledore. At school, his dorm mates would surely have mentioned them in conversation, and the gossipy portraits would have told Dumbledore. That is assuming Ron or one of the boys didn't report it directly to McGonagall, or even Poppy, either of whom would have told Albus. Even if Harry was keeping his feelings close to the vest, he couldn't control his dreams (or visions, whatever they were); things on his mind were bound to slip out. Of course, Dumbledore may not have realized that Ron probably slept like a log; at any rate, he kept that "chainsaw" roaring all night. Actually, that alone is a good enough reason for Harry to request his own room. I think Ron was, either knowingly or not, an information conduit (spy) for Dumbledore.
Dumbledore either doesn't understand or doesn't give a fig for Harry's feelings, as we could tell in the second task. Even though Ron and Harry had been at odds all year and were maintaining only an uneasy truce by that time, Dumbledore selected Ron as the thing Harry would miss most. Anyone with a brain in his head would know it was Hermione. Tough luck to Victor; he had his own friends on the boat from which to pick. Dumbledore should have supported his student. But then he rarely ever did, did he? Okay, I'll stop.
I should say that I'm always surprised when Sirius lets Molly bully him. I can't help wondering why she didn't get the Marauder treatment. In his own home, Sirius could have run a very subtle bullying campaign with the help of Kreacher. They wouldn't have had to hurt Molly ... at least, not physically. All they had to do was keep her off-balance, distracted, and out of their hair. Well, I didn't mean to go off on a Wild Snorkack hunt. Sorry.
I'm glad Harry and Hermione got sorted.
