Now to the boring part...

I do not own any part of Harry Potter... If i did i would be having a bath in my money now, not this! =)

Lying on her bed, staring up at the dirty ceiling, Ginny Weasley could only think of one certain somebody. Harry Potter. She hadn't been able to stop thinking about him all summer, and it didn't help that they had to live in the same house together. Ginny had always like Harry, ever since Ron brought him to The Burrow before her first year at Hogwarts, but tried to disguise the fact by seeing numerous other guys.

"Why can't he see that I like him?" Ginny said to herself. "What's has that Cho girl got that I haven't?"

At that moment Ginny heard her mother's voice call up the stairs telling her that dinner was ready. Slowly, she sat up and started wander down the stairs of the gloomy house that she was to call her home for the next few months.

When Ginny entered the dining room of Grimauld Place she saw all her family, apart from Bill and Charlie who were both working away, Harry, Hermione, Sirius and Remus all sat around the large dining table in the middle of the room.

"Hurry up dear, or your food will be cold" said her mother, Mrs. Weasley.

The youngest Weasley walked to the only chair available, which coincidently was next to Harry, and sat down.

"Hi Gin" mumbled Harry through a mouthful of food. Ginny's cheeks tinged red, luckily nobody noticed as they were all to buisy either talking to one another about the latest happenings in the wizarding world or shoving food into their mouths.

Once Ginny had put as much food in front of her as her plate could hold, she dived into her delicious home cooked meal her mother had prepared.

"Whoa! Slow down Gin, leave some for the rest of us!" Ron, her elder brother, laughed at her.

"Oh, be quiet Ron, you've had more than I have." Ginny replied shortly, and looked at the plate before her. Most of the food that was on there previously, had now gone.

"Merlin! Have I eaten that much already?" Ginny thought to herself.

"Well your shorter than me, so you cant carry the weight as well as I do. OUCH!!!" Ron yelled as Hermione elbowed him in the ribs.

"Don't be so mean Ronald, Ginny, don't worry, you look great" Hermione said while glaring at Ron who was now rubbing his ribs.

But it didn't matter, Ginny wasn't listening to what Hermione had said, she was still trying to figure out what Ron had meant when he had said "you can't carry the weight as well as I do." She new she wasn't exactly skinny, but she was hardly fat either. Admittedly, she had put on some weight since she had come home as she had been enjoying her mother's cooking, especially the treacle tart pudding which was her favourite. But even still, the last time she had weighed herself she was 122 pounds, which she thought was normal for her height, or was it? She had heard the other girls in her dorm, whilst at Hogwarts, talking about how heavy they were, and them being upset when weighing only 115 pounds, even though they were still taller than Ginny was.

"Loosing 10 pounds or so wouldn't hurt anyone would it?" she pondered to herself, as she pushed the remaining food around her plate.

By the time everybody had finished eating, Ginny had not touched another piece of food on her plate, she only thought about the comment Ron had made about her weight. Walking back up the stairs to the room she and Hermione shared, her eyes caught sight of her own figure in an old dusty mirror. She had to do a double take,

"When did I become so fat and flabby?" Ginny thought as she pinched and prodded at her body whilst staring at her own reflection. Tears welled up in her eyes, as she scrutinized every 'imperfection.'

"No wonder Harry doesn't like me, who would want to go out with this" She thought to herself as she poked at what she called her 'thunder thighs.'

"Harry must like a skinny girl, that's why he likes Cho. She's pretty, smart and has the perfect figure, unlike me, I'm the complete opposite." Ginny finally gave up at looking at herself in the mirror, as she came to the conclusion that no matter what angle she looked at herself at, she wouldn't be skinny. Retreating back into her bed, Ginny decided that from tomorrow she WILL go on a diet, she WILL loose weight, and that she WILL make Harry finally notice her as more than a friend and his best friend's younger sister.

As Ginny dwelled on these thoughts, she didn't realise that the idea of loosing weight would rapidly turn into an obsession which would be impossible to control, and a lifetime's battle to beat.

Well thats the first chapter for you! the second should be coming soon.
