When she emerged, Keith was watching the tiny round window of the under-the-counter washing machine. "Put your clothes in for a wash, " he said. "They were disgusting." Ginny always thought that the only way of getting clothes clean was by drowning them in scalding water and then whipping them around in a violent centrifugal motion that caused the entire washing machine to vibrate and the floor to shake.

This machine used about half a cup of water and was about as violent as a toaster, plus it stopped every few minutes, as if it were exhausted from the effort of turning itself.

About This Quote
"There is a lot of love in the world, but it's the kind that can't be seen. It's the kind that makes you smile when you least expect it and then makes you cry when you least want it. I think that's why we're drawn to each other, because we see each other for who we really are. Sometimes, there is so much love in one person that it feels like a glowing furnace, and sometimes there is so little love in one person that it feels like an arctic storm.
When we click, we see each other for who we really are and we fall in love with every facet of that person. I've been waiting for you all my life, Ginny Weasley."When Harry said those words to Ginny Weasley as he walked up to her at King's Cross Station, he was talking about their destiny as well as his unending love for her. He was talking about his commitment to her and his intention to always be her friend and ally.
