Ok, she was going to do this.

She had prepared everything she was going to say the night before and even the quite rude mirror in the 3rd floor lavatories would be charmed by her effervescent conversation. First, she was going to start off with a nonchalant greeting to let him know that she really could in fact speak, "Hello Harry, how's your morning going?"

Then, she was going to listen to his dulcet tones (ok, so maybe his cracking voice wasn't that pleasant to hear…) talk about the morning he had.

If it was a good morning, Ginny was going to laugh girlishly and make a joke while slapping him on the back of the head. That was what Parvati and Lavender meant when they said hitting guys was the way to show them you like them, right? Or was it "hitting on guys"? Well, either way she would hit Harry and he would know that she meant serious business.

"Oh that's nice to hear!*insert girlish laugh*I've had a great morning too, let's just see how long it lasts with Malfoy roaming the halls.*hit Harry on the back of the head*"

Note to self: Do not get fingers lost in Harry's mess of hair when hitting his head, could lead to very awkward situation.

But if it was a bad morning, Ginny was going to apologetically lay a hand on his shoulder and brighten his day with her wit. Then she was supposed to "envelop him" according to Lavender and Parvati, and since the two ran away giggling after that, Ginny could only guess that she was supposed to wrap him up in a blanket.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Harry.*put hand on his shoulder, do not faint* But I'm sure my presence is making your day brighter already!*envelop him with a blanket*"

Note to self: Find a blanket.

Not only that, but she had bribed all of the house elves with her mother's rump roast recipe if they made sure to remove all butter dishes from the Great Hall during breakfast today. Yes, in fact she had planned all possibilities and today was the day that she would finally have a decent conversation with Harry Potter!

"Hello Ginny, how's your morning going."

Blushing. She was blushing. Why was it so hot in the Great Hall today? She needed air, her brain can't function without air!

"Er- Harry! It- grace- well nuh- loveleryness- the gravy!"

"Erm, yes. My morning's going quite nice, except I can't find any butter for my toast this morning. There doesn't seem to be any butter in the whole Great Hall."

His morning, yes something about it being good, what was she supposed to do now? Hit him and laugh?

"Ow, Ginny! What was that for?"

Wait, he said something else. Butter? Oh, no the house elves!

"Butter, yes, the elbows. Butter bad. Not seen the butter, yes."

"Uh, yes. Well, there's Ron so if you'll – Ginny, why are you holding a blanket?"

Blanket? Oh, yes to envelop Harry Potter!

"Ah, Ginny no! Let me go, I can't breathe!"

If you were to ask Ginny later that day how her mission went, she would simply smile and say that it was a piece of cake.
