Ginny can hear them fighting through the walls and wishes one of her brothers were there, but they were either at Hogwarts or working in a different country.
She tries to pretend that neither one means the words they are saying, but deep down she thinks they do.
They didn't fight that much when Ron had been there, but since he started Hogwarts the arguing has become more frequent and more venomous.
Maybe having to put another person through Hogwarts has made things more strained between them. Ginny is only ten, but she's heard enough to know how tight money is and how if her dad got a better position at the ministry then they would have more money.
There are voices are becoming louder, the words spoken angrier and used to cause the most hurt.
Ginny clutches onto a photo that was taken a few years before when everyone had been together and happy.
She wants to run somewhere that there isn't any angry words only silence.
But there is nowhere to run so she goes and sits in the closet, puts her hand over her ears and the happy family photo on her lap.
