Ginny's mother turned to look at her and smiled, "You can set the table Ginny" said Mrs Weasley with that she turned back to Ginny and carried on magically cooking the dinner. 'Mum never asks the boys to set the table' thought Ginny 'I hate being the only girl' Ginny then opened the cutlery drawer to get the knives and forks out.
After Ginny had set the table, she headed upstairs to see what everybody else was up to, Ginny was half way up the stairs when she heard a loud bang that seemed to have come from Fred and George's room, Ginny ran quickly up the rest of the stairs and then flung the door open to Fred and George's room. "What has happened now?" Said Ginny as she entered a room full of smoke, Fred and George who had been trying to waft the smoke out of the open window turned towards her. "Ginny close the door" shouted George "Do you want mum to see the smoke", Ginny did as she was told and then looked around the room, "What happened?" said Ginny, Fred and George looked at each other strangely "Unfortunately you have to be this tall?" said Fred holding his hand out just over Ginny's head "For us to tell you" said George finishing off his brothers sentence.
Ginny felt outraged "Stop leaving me out just because I'm the youngest" said Ginny angrily, Fred and George just looked at her amused, "We're not" said George, Ginny looked at them disbelieving "It's because you're the shortest" said Fred with a laugh, Ginny scoffed at them and then without another word turned and left the room.
'It's so unfair' thought Ginny 'I hate being the youngest', Ginny then walked down the landing towards Ron's room and when she reached the door she gave it a small knock. When there was no answer Ginny hesitated then turned the handle and pushed the door open, "What do you want?" said Ron who was lay on his bed, Hermione was on the floor next to the bed and they were both writing on pieces of parchment. "What are you doing?" said Ginny, Hermione looked up annoyed "You've just made me write it down wrong" said Hermione crossly. Ginny looked over at Ron "We're trying to do our homework" said Ron frustrated, Ginny started to laugh and went over to sit on the bed next to Ron. "You doing homework?" scoffed Ginny "There's more chance of Fred and George becoming prefects" Ron turned towards her with a frown on his face. "I thought Snape's assignment was due in second potions lesson back" said Ron "But Hermione's told me it's due in first potions lesson back and it's a really long one as well"
Ginny gazed at her brother sympathetically "Do you need any help?" said Ginny and Hermione suddenly looked up at her. "Help?" said Hermione "No offence Ginny but this is sixth year potions work, your only starting fifth year this year" Ginny stood up looking at them both really upset. "I was only trying to help" said Ginny miserably then she walked to the door and left the room.
'It's not fair' thought Ginny 'I wish I was smarter' Ginny made her way downstairs and as soon as she reached the bottom she heard voices in the hall, "Harry" Ginny heard Mrs Weasley say "We weren't expecting you until later" Ginny made her way into the dinning room miserably 'Great' thought Ginny 'Another person who won't even care I'm alive'
Ginny entered the kitchen where she saw Harry being hugged by her mum, once her mum had let Harry go she turned around and spotted Ginny in the doorway "Ginny" said Mrs Weasley "Just in time to put the dinner out" Ginny turned away from her mother to hide her rage 'That's it mother' thought Ginny 'Just call me Cinderella it's not like there are other people who can do it for a change' Mrs Weasley left the room to call everyone to dinner leaving Ginny to carry the dinner to the table herself.
Ginny made her way over to the plates of food that were lay out of the counter and began to carry them into the dinning room, Ginny had to come back for more plates and on the third time there was only a plate of bread to carry into the dinning room. Ginny had just picked up the plate and was about to take it into the dinning room when she saw Harry was talking to her dad. 'That's right' thought Ginny 'Just ignore me, not like I matter or anything'
"Hi Ginny" said Harry as he turned to face her, Ginny's heart skipped a beat. 'Wow' she thought 'he does notice me after all' Harry smiled at Ginny and Ginny was so thrilled she dropped the plate of bread she was carrying. "Ginny!" said Mrs Weasley who had just come into the kitchen "Watch what your doing!" Mrs Weasley raised her wand to the smashed plate and pieces of bread all over the floor and the plate instantly repaired itself and the bread flew back on to the plate. "The floor is clean" said Mrs Weasley to Harry "And I've cast a cleaning spell on the bread so it's not dirty" Harry nodded. Ginny went to pick up the plate full of bread again but Mrs Weasley grabbed it, "I'll take it Ginny" said Mrs Weasley "You'll probably drop it again" Mrs Weasley then turned around and walked out the room. Ginny made a face at her as she left and Harry started to laugh, Ginny turned to look at him surprised "You make me laugh Ginny" said Harry and Ginny's stomach felt as if had just fell three hundred feet. "Where's Ron and Hermione?" asked Harry, Ginny didn't answer and just stood there smiling. "Erm Ginny?" said Harry "Ron and Hermione where are they?" Ginny suddenly seemed to come to her senses "There up in Ron's room" said Ginny "doing homework apparently?" Harry looked at her puzzled and Ginny just grinned. Harry then picked up his trunk and started to move towards the stairs, 'I can't believe he noticed me' thought Ginny 'bet he thinks I'm an idiot now though for dropping that plate' Ginny stood completely still frowning and lost in her troubled thoughts. Mrs Weasley entered the kitchen at this moment, "Ginny" said Mrs Weasley "What's the matter?" Ginny was just about to respond when a loud bang came from upstairs, Mrs Weasley looked at Ginny puzzled then hurried out the room. "WHAT AN EARTH HAVE YOU DONE NOW?" said Mrs Weasley from the bottom of the stairs, Ginny stayed where she was listening to her mother shout.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT" Ginny heard her mother yell "THERE IS SMOKE COMING FROM YOUR ROOM AND YOUR TELLING ME IT'S NOTHING!" Ginny walked out the kitchen and in to the garden 'Don't mind me' thought Ginny 'I'm fine mum, just little old invisible me that's all, nothing to worry about' with this Ginny set off down the garden path and if anyone would have seen Ginny at that moment I think they would have stopped and asked her what was the matter or perhaps offer her words of comfort but as no one was around to witness this sorry scene; Ginny Weasley walked down the garden path completelyunnoticed.

"If I wasn't here anymore nobody would notice" said Ginny, she looked up at Harry through watery eyes, "I'd notice Ginny" said Harry. Ginny shook her head sadly "Most of the time I feel like I'm invisible" said Ginny, Harry said nothing; he just looked at her for several minutes. Then Harry suddenly did something that made Ginny feel like she was anything but invisible.
