(The Weasley sister, like the rest of Ron’s brothers, lived elsewhere. In 1999 Ginny, with the ink still wet on her NEWT scores, had been signed by the Holyhead Harpies as their Reserve Seeker. Three years later, in 2002, Ginny had been promoted to Starting Seeker. Now in 2003, at least once a month Ginny said or did something scandalous or even lewd—always with Michael Corner—that rated a euphemistic mention in Witch Weekly. Ginny at twenty-two had a spacious flat with brand-new furniture and with brand-new clothes in her wardrobes, and she had a well-filled vault. Ron hated his sister, almost as much as he hated Harry and Hermione.)
