A/N: I am not J.K.R. and I don't own these characters…imagine that.
Comments at bottom and a little personal story.
Ginny stepped on her scale and anxiously awaited the three little numbers, oh how she wished it was two! Weight: 170 lbs. What? What was going on? This couldn't be happening! She looked down at her body, fat. Fatter than before, there was no way that was possible. She pinched herself…
…and awoke with a start. Oh thank God, thank God, thank God! It was only a dream. I'm not that fat. I still am fat though, and I always will be. le sigh That's life. Right? No, it didn't have to be. If you work hard enough then you never know the outcome, so maybe, just maybe, Ginny could lose some more of that pesky weight.
Ginny looked at her watch, a Christmas present from Harry, to see how long she had slept. 1:00 PM. About three hours, that was a fair sized nap. Great, she had missed lunch! Ginny was feeling ecstatic at this point and practically whistled as she jumped out of bed and threw her clothes on. She ambled down to the common room and to her surprise found Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
The thing Ginny hated about the trio was she could never tell if she was wanted or not. Not until… "Ginny, want to come sit with us?" Harry asked.
Ginny grinned and walked to her favorite cushiony chair and curled up like a cat. She listened to their conversation she could jump in soon enough. "Well anyways, it's sickening yet fascinating all at once, odd how things are like that," said Hermione. What in the world, thought Ginny.
"I do not see what is wrong with loony muggles. I always knew girls were a bit touchy and quirky, but why would anyone do that?" questioned Harry.
"I don't know mate, but I love food too much for any of that monkey business!" exclaimed Ron.
Ginny winced at her brother's words inwardly but kept a serene surface. What in the world are we talking about, Ginny finally asked.
"Well Gin," started Harry, oh God she loved that nickname, "Hermione was telling us about this crazy thing that muggle girls, well mainly girls do for beauty."
"What waxing their eyebrows?" mused Ginny. She knew she was being completely irrelevant but she felt the need to lighten the mood. She got her desired result, some much needed laughter.
"No, we were talking about eating disorders. I remember them from my health classes back in Muggle School and all. They make no sense to me. One is called Bulimia Nervosa and the other is…" Hermione pondered for a second and had trouble drawing the name.
"Anorexia Nervosa," Ginny answered a bit too quickly.
"How did you know that?" asked Ron looking bewildered.
"Common knowledge older bro," Ginny giggled back as her insides churned with embarrassment. "Listen, I think I have an essay to write, so I'm going to hop to that."
With that Ginny left as Hermione, Ron, and Harry looked at each other in awe. Either Ginny was quite intelligent, which she was of course (but about muggle things?), or she knew too much. Well, they all knew Ginny was a smart one, so Harry and Ron dropped the matter. Hermione lingered on the thought further but shook it off as they went on to discuss Quidditch.
That's all for now. Sorry it isn't so great, I've been busy and I really wanted to give you guys an update. Well, life is crazy. School sucks (just to let you know I'm in Honors Chem. now instead of CP). I got in a wreck on Thursday. I slammed on my brakes but the road was slick from rain and I smacked into the other car. She was all right, I was all right, my car on the other hand…will be all right in about…$3500. Sucks much. But she was so nice, I felt bad for hitting her!!! On to comments!

UnheardScreams- Amazing? turns a fierce shade of red Thanks much. No, I do not have an eating disorder, but I have my problems with eating and all, but no real disorder.
Thanks guys and have an absolutely awesome week! Hope everyone is having fun at school (or at least doing well). Don't get in a wreck and drive safely everybody.
