People watched Harry as though they’d never seen him before, like he was some strange, unknown creature that might vanish if they so much as blinked, like a vapour trembling in the midday sun. If he thinks about it, Harry can tell you how many people are watching him at any one moment, how many eyes are trickling down his back and fingering idly through the locks of his hair and across his weather-tanned flesh, and he’ll be nearly right nine times out of ten."

This is the sequel to Behind Blind Eyes, so it's probably a lot like it. Anyway, it's Ginny's story, and it would probably be a good idea to read Behind Blind Eyes first.
