I present... 15 Easy Steps

Ginny Weasley sighed to herself as she slammed around her kitchen. Her frustration was evident as she marched around militant like looking for something sharp; nobody messes with a Weasley temper.

Ramming her hand into a draw in search of a knife Ginny huffed loudly; ever since Harry had got to the burrow – all moody and broody after what had happened to Sirius – things had taken a turn for the worse. The golden trio, as many at school had dubbed them, had taken to excluding her from any kind of talk to do with the war, something that didn't leave anyone's mind nowadays.

Finally finding herself clutching the knife she grabbed two slices of bread from the breadbin and spread them liberally with mayonnaise and jammed in cheese for good measure.

Not bothering to get a plate or even cut her sandwich in half she moved towards the living room; flopping herself huffily onto one of the sofas. Looking reproachfully at her sandwich she didn't feel remotely hungry. But regardless she began to eat, fanning herself with a nearby magazine; sighing once again as she heard the muffled voices from upstairs.

"Sorry Ginny, but you're just to young."

"Ron," she'd began unable to contain half of her anger, "I'm only a year younger than you are and it's not like I've never faced Him before or are you forgetting the basilisk? Or the fact that I fought with you at the ministry?"

"That's not the point Ginny." He'd said, his patronising tone ringing in her ears, "And anyway you didn't exactly come out of either of those things well, did you?

"Where as you just ended up being attacked by a brain."

He ignored her.

"Ginny you're going downstairs while we talk and that's final."

"Fine just one thing…"

"What?"

"Voldemort. "

"Ginny!" he shot back testily, "whatchu do that for?"

"To show you - Mr I jump twenty feet at the sound of a name, that I unlike you can say Voldemort."

And then he'd slammed the door in her face.

Ginny seemed to emit electricity as she remembered her previous conversation with her brother. She still couldn't believe him.

"Keep your trio." She said to herself scornfully.

She half screamed half huffed and slapped the magazine onto the table face up. She stared scornfully down at it. The Teenage witch on the front was silently hurling abuse at her but she took no notice. A heading had caught her attention – 15 easy steps? She continued to stare before grabbing the magazine and flicking through it almost frantically. When she found the page she was looking for she scanned the article quickly before collapsing into laughter. She reread the article still giggling struggling for composure she clasped a hand over her mouth stifling the noise. What had she expected? Some kind of enlightenment? This was Teen Witch Weekly for crying out load! Had she expected some kind of instruction on how to get Harry to fall to his knees and propos… no. She wasn't going to go there. She was over that.

Ginny's eyes rested on the magazine once more.

Ginny snorted. 'This is enlightening' She thought 'I mean the crap they put in here beauty tips are one thing but this? Why put something so derogative in here when what girls my age need right now is information on current events! Like Voldemort! We need it in plain English.' She began to read on reading the categories aloud –

"If he's strong and silent? Oh please! If he hasn't yet realised how wonderful you truly are? You've got to be kidding me! If he's thicker than a door? …Hermione could use this."

She went to the first category.

If He's Strong and silent?
