Somebody please tell me if I'm crazy, but I went back to the scene 
where the Order members finish dinner specifically because I wanted 
to reread the part where Sirius rises first.  I'm at work and cannot 
quote directly (woefully unprepared for my first post, sorry!) but I 
was really puzzled because right before Sirius stands up, I believe 
we see Ginny sitting on the floor playing with Crookshanks.  Doesn't 
that mean she had to have gotten up from the table before Sirius 
stands?

Could someone let me know if this is correct?  I'm rather afraid I'm 
losing my mind reading everyone's posts that mention Sirius rising 
first.

Thanks,
Dragonine
