COS Hallowe'en feast

I have a question that I don't recall seeing discussed (though I have been away for nearly a month).

I have been re-reading COS to Ben (younger son) and am wondering about the first petrification (Mrs Norris) which takes place during the Hallowe'en feast. As I understand the working of the diary, Ginny would have to have been present to release and control the basilisk, and therefore not at the feast.  Wouldn't her absence have been noted?
