Recap // Ginny's friend, Karen, has just persuaded her to try to change Draco.
Chapter 2 // extra buttery pancakes
Ginny sat down on her bed, reading a book. Moments later, Karen had entered the room.
Karen smiled happily in front of Ginny. "Once you like him, you'll know how I'll feel."
Ginny ignored her friend and started reading more of "Potions: Revealed." Professor Snapped assigned her to read the book to improve her potion making.
Karen tapped Ginny's head with a wand. "Are you really going to do it?"
Ginny dropped her book. "Karen, you do know you were talking about someone…without saying their name. Did you also know I wasn't paying attention to what you said about so and so?"
"Well, if you knew I was talking about someone, then you were listening!" Karen smiled. "Besides, I was talking about Draco."
"You've been talking about him all day!"
"I always talk about him."
Ginny looked back into her book staring at the picture of an empty vial. Somehow, the idea of smashing it over Karen's head had come to mind, but she could not do that. Karen is her new best friend. "You should start a fan club."
"Why? What's a fan club going to do to help me get Draco?"
"You're Obsessed!"
"I am SO not obsessed."
"In the morning, I hear 'I wonder what Draco is doing' or 'I wonder who Draco dreamed about.' At noon, 'Look how cute he is' or 'Draco and I are eating the same thing!' Most importantly, 'Draco's the hottest thing on Earth. He's the new type of fire' or 'If Draco was cold, I'd share my blanket with him.' I can't stand it anymore!"
"Get off my bed."
"This is my bed."
Karen jumped off Ginny's bed and walked to her own in the corner. She sat down mocking Ginny. "Oh look, I'm Ginny and I'm complaining about Karen's liking for Draco. Blah blah blah!"
Ginny threw one of her round pillows at Karen.

Crabbe and Goyle followed Draco around as usual. Draco led them to the common room and sat down on one of the black, leathery couches. "It's time for a meeting of the DGC [Draco Goyle Crabbe] club. Where's our secretary?" Draco queried.
"I'm coming!" Pansy yelled from the staircase. She sat down next to Draco. "Millicent couldn't come. She has tons of homework and still recovering from that nasty flu."
"Okay, let's begin. Pansy, please review our last meeting." Draco said.
"We discussed the Dream Team, avoidances, and the new first years." Pansy reviewed, scanning her notes.
"Well tonight we will talk about Ginny Weasley."
"Why Ginny Weasley?" Crabbe asked confused.
"Blaise heard that Ginny and her friend are on a quest and the quest has to do with me." Draco said.
Crabbe and Goyle nodded.
"Not only does this quest have to do with me, but Karen wants Ginny to fall in—excuse me—love with me." Draco said.
Pansy continued scribbling in her parchment. "Your point is?"
"I'm about to create a fan club." Draco said.
"You're so self-centered." Pansy said.
"I thought of something else too. Something great…"

Karen, still sitting in her corner, threw a paper airplane at Ginny.
Ginny turned on the lamp. "Karen, it's midnight!" Ginny threw back Karen's airplane.
"I know, but if I don't show you my picture…it'll never go to the hands of Draco Malfoy." Karen said, climbing into her bed. "I had a weird daydream that you two were falling in love around breakfast time."
"That's too early." Ginny yawned. "I'm going back to sleep."
***
Ginny sat down at the edge of the Gryffindor table and stared at a pile of pancakes. "Suddenly, these look like clouds."
Karen looked at her and her pancakes. "They look like burned clouds to me…or maybe even lightly browned clouds."
Ron, also staring at Ginny's pancakes, rotated Ginny's plate. "You're probably staring at the butter on top."
"I'm going to complain to the elves." Ginny said angrily. "They put too much butter on my pancakes again! They want me to get high cholesterol and suffer from a serious stroke or heart attack!"
Ginny started walking towards the kitchen outside of the Great Hall with her plate of extra buttery pancakes. Her eyes fixed upon Draco's eyes, which were staring right at her.
"Virginia Weasley, it's a surprise to find you by the kitchen or wherever you are about to go. What brings you here?" Draco said, leaning against the doorway of the kitchen.
"Butter." Ginny said. She pretended to ignore the Malfoy.
"Butter? They put too much butter on my pancakes too!" He said, making it seem like he put the extra butter on her pancakes.
"Did you know that you're pressing upon my neural transmitters in a deleterious manner?" Ginny asked.
"Ginny, please stop talking like that mudblood Granger."
"That mudblood is my f-r-i-e-n-d." Ginny said angrily. She threw her plate at Draco. The butter will act as gel to hold your brain into place!" She stormed off angrily.
"Operation G.I.N.N.Y: Mission one—failed." Draco said quietly.
Ginny smiled as she reached the door to the Great Hall. "Operation D.R.A.C.O: Mission one—completed."
"What do you mean mission one? Is it a mission about loving Draco Malfoy?" Karen questioned with a muffled tone. The syrup that surrounded her lips acted as glue to keep her lips together.
"What do you mean? I said nothing!" Ginny said.
"I fear that you have been less forthright and obfuscated veracity." Karen said, with a smart-like tone. She smiled.
Ginny looked at her friend. "Oh, be quiet. Let's go to potions, we're already running late!"
"The late class bell hasn't even rung." As soon as Karen finished talking, the class bells rang.
