Chapter 1

LPOV

I woke up to the sun in my eyes and couldn't help groaning, I must have forgotten to shut the curtains last night. I lied there a few minutes, bracing myself for the new day, not just for classes and the transfiguration test that I just knew I was gonna fail but also because I knew as soon as I went downstairs I'd have to deal with Potter harassing me to go out with him and all the chaos he creates. Believe me, it's not easy being a perfect with Potter around, it's like babysitting a big three year old with a wand. That thought, suddenly, made me feel sorry for Remus who was in close proximity with him all day.

After the alarm clock went off for the second time, I sat up, grabbed the wand off the night stand, and started for the bathroom but something made me pause. I know that Lindsey had a date with a broom closet last night, but when did she start bringing back souvenirs? I carefully picked the underwear off the doorknob and stepped inside. Okay, now what happened to my floral shower curtain and bath mats? I thought staring at the Quidditch theme bath set. I decided I'd worry about it later and made a beeline for the toilet.

After a few seconds of sitting there a little longer than normal, which I just wrote off with me having that extra glass of water before bed, I noticed it felt a little weird, like it took a little longer for it to come out. Finally, I grabbed a handful of toilet paper and went to wipe myself and noticed something that stopped me and I followed it down…and down. My eyes snapped downward and I felt myself scream, only the voice I heard come out my mouth was deep and rumbly and certainly wasn't mine! I quickly wiped off the tip of the…thing and rushed to the mirror.

What I saw, in that mirror over the sink, defiantly was not my refection, it wasn't even female! A guy, though slightly blurred, was staring back at me. I saw a pair of glasses sitting on the side of the sink and shakily put them on. He had messy jet black hair, scared hazel eyes, a long nose, and thick lips open wide in another scream. Huh, I didn't know wizards had to get tonsils removed as well. My scream echoed around the bathroom for the second time that morning. What has happened to me!?

"James?" I heard Black's muffled voice from outside the bathroom.

"I-I'm fine, I'm p-perfectly okay!" I stuttered out staring in horror at my reflection. I was defiantly not okay, but I didn't need him to know that. This seemed like the kind of thing the Marauders would do but, somehow, I wasn't so sure. After all, this was an impressive bit off magic, I really couldn't see them being able to carry out... this.

"Nice to know," Black replied sarcastically, "now shut up!"

Wow, what a caring friend Potter has... I took a deep breath and figured I might as well start getting ready for classes. I started by turning on the shower before taking off Potter pants and boxers. Merlin's beard, it's like he's carrying Chewbacca around in his underwear! I thought, mortified by all the hair I found, before using a trimming charm on it and grinned at my work. There that's better. Next I took off his shirt and was immediately disgusted. He's a freakin' wildebeest! I got rid of all the hair of his front except for a small patch on his chest and while removing the hair off his back I noticed Chewbacca's two northern cousins were hiding under his arms and decided to trim that up too. I looked at Potter's much less hairy body in the bathroom mirror. Dang, except for all the pimples on his back, he actually had a nice body underneath all that hair, Quidditch has done him good. I thought looking at his muscular arms and chest before brushing his teeth and getting in the shower. There was only one small shelf that housed three bottles each claiming to be both shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in one. As I started washing his hair, I started listing off the things I knew: I'm in Potter's body, I can't tell anyone about this, and I can't hang out with my friends until I get this fixed. After rinsing out his hair, I started washing his body and listing the things that I didn't know: how I got in Potter's body, what has happened to my own body, and how to get back into my body. So, I made a promise to myself that I would find out just that by the end of the day.

After the shower, I wrapped a towel around his waist and started trying to tame his hair. I tried everything, combing it different ways, charming it, I even tried using some of the stuff from the vast collection of hair potions that took up half the towel closet. Finally, after struggling with it for thirty minutes, I decided it was a lost cause, it just simply grew that way and their was nothing I could do to change it, and gave in to the mirror's nagging to just run a hand through it the way Potter usually did and left the bathroom.

"It's about damn time!" Black said as he brushed past me and slammed the bathroom door shut. Their dorm, which I hadn't paid attention to in my morning grogginess, was interesting to say the least. For one thing, the dorm is twice the size of my dorm and although they have the typical stuff, beds, dressers, trunks, etc., they also have a projector which sits behind a red couch, that was Remus occupying, with two Quidditch theme bean bag chairs sitting on either side of the couch facing a white screen for the projector, and a muggle television set sitting below it playing Sylvester and Tweety with a record player next to that and a coffee table sitting in the center.

I briefly wondered what spells might have been used to make it possible for the muggle devices to work within Hogwarts before noticing the gigantic bookcase next to the bathroom door filled with books, records, and movies. I was making a mental note to go through them during a free period today when suddenly memories that didn't belong to me started flooding my head.

Opening a package in the Great Hall revealing a reel labeled "M*A*S*H" with a card reading Happy Birthday from Darius as Remus had fun tossing bits of bacon in the air for the screech-owl that delivered the gift while Black yelled "Shazam!" every time the owl caught a piece in its beak.

Unwrapping a record labeled "Queen: A Night At The Opera" next to a giant Christmas Tree with red and gold ribbons and ornaments hanging from the branches with a large "P" on them with a small fairy glowing a different color in each one.

Sitting in the common room with thirteen year old's Black and Remus while opening a gift to find a record jacket with a bunch of naked children laying on rocks only to pull out a vinyl reading "Led Zeppelin: Houses of the Holy" and a picture of a girl with long curly blonde hair, waving and blowing kisses at him with Happy Birthday! Love, Ariana written in elegant loopy handwriting across the bottom.

Sitting on the train with a fourteen year old Teddy Croaker peeling the Christmas theme gift wrap off a movie called "The Exorcist".

Sitting in a room with the same girl from the picture, though maybe a bit younger, a boy with dark brown hair that came down just above his shoulders, and a girl with light brown hair down to her waist all handing me gifts. One being a reel of "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" from the brown-haired girl, an album called Paranoid by the band Black Sabbath from the boy, and a black book given by the blonde.

One after another, the memories came flooding to me, giving me a huge migraine, until I knew every last reel and record in the bookcase. I pinched the bridge of Potter's nose to try to get the throbbing to stop. Where those Potter's memories? They had to have been. Teddy has never given me anything except patrolling schedules and I've never even met those other three people, let alone received anything from them.

"Are you okay?" Remus asked as he rolled up a piece of parchment he had been so intently focused on.

" Yeah," I replied removing my fingers from my nose, "why you ask?"

"Well, you were just pinching your nose," he stated walking over and handing me the parchment.

"What's this?" I asked as I unrolled it to see a list with things like everyone's location, password detection, and it just went on and on.

"The list of spells we need for the map," Remus said in an obvious tone, "are you sure you'll be able to see Teddy tonight?"

A memory of Potter's flashed through my mind's eye of me, Potter, winking at Teddy yesterday and him winking back and then another memory of lounging with Teddy, who looked around the same age as he was when he gave Potter The Exorcist movie, on a blue couch with a large silver eagle in the center of the back cushion in-front of a crackling fire.

"Kamaria doesn't like that we hang out," Teddy said keeping his head down as he played a tune the keyboard sitting across his lap.

"Why?" Potter said feeling confronted, "What did I do?"

"Well, she thinks your pranks could get me in trouble," Teddy replied still not looking up from his playing.

"Well, she's not wrong. There is a possibility that you could be tied to our pranks." Potter frowned looking into the fire, "So, is this the last time we can hang out then?"

"Oh no, we can hang out," Potter's head snapped back around. Teddy was looking at me, Potter, smiling, "we'll just have to become sneaky about it."

" But if you're lying and doing something she doesn't like behind her back then won't that make her mad?" Potter inquired making Teddy laugh.

"It's not about her not liking our friendship. She just thinks we should keep it on the down low so I can't get in trouble, you know? We just can't talk or hang out in public."

"If we can't talk then how will we be able to hang out?" Potter replied sceptically.

Teddy shrugged. "We'll just have to come up with an inconspicuous way to communicate when we're around other people."

There was a moment of silence between the two when suddenly Potter sat up full of excitement, "I've got it! We'll wink at each other!"

"Sorry James but I'm not into that," Teddy smirked earning himself a silver ornate pillow to the face.

"Not like that! It'll be a sign, if I wink at you it means I wanna hang out and if you wink back then that means you agree."

"Okay but we still need a place and time. I know, how about here at nine o'clock the next day when the hallways are the least crowded and the perfects haven't started their patrols?"

"Sounds good to me, mate."

"Yeah, it will be taken care of, don't worry."

JPOV

I woke up to a dark dormitory, which is strange since no one has ever shut the curtains since living in this dorm, and sat up and stretched looking forward to the day ahead. Today Lily Evans might agree to go out with me...or get angry with me like she usually does for trying but she's so funny when she's mad, who really cares either way. At least, that's what I told myself. I went to the bathroom and froze when I saw the floral shower curtain and bath mat. Great, the guys are going fruity on me, I thought as reach up to wipe away an itch and saw a flash of pink. I looked at my fingernails, someone had painted them hot pink. Very funny guys. Huh, that's weird, my hands seem…smaller than usual. At that moment, a string of red fell in front of my face. I reach up and held it out a bit to get a better look to find a string of red hair! I turned to the mirror and saw a pretty redheaded girl with big emerald-green eyes and full red lips staring back at me, the girl was none other than Lily Evans. I sighed, I'm gonna be in deep shit. Wait if I have her nails, her hair, and her face… I pulled out the collar of her shirt out and looked down. Oh yeah, if the entertainment wasn't worth the yelling before then this definitely is.

After turning the water on, I got undressed and thoroughly examined Lily's body. All the times I imagined Lily's body, I never expected her to be so PERFECT! She wasn't skinny but wasn't fat either. She had a nice hour glass figure with a nice round bottom and, never being a fan of huge boobs, I was glad to see she was average sized and perky. I made a mental note to take pictures before getting my body back, which I assumed was probably occupied by Lily at this very moment, and hopped in the shower. There were four long shelves full of shampoos, conditioners, deep conditioners, body washes, body scrubs, body acne treatments, etc. with one of six girls names written on each of them. I never knew girls used so many products in the shower especially Lily who owned five of the many different bottles. Girls are so wasteful with money, I thought as I look at the price of one stamped at two galleons and seven knuts.

I only used Lily's shampoo, conditioner, and body scrub finding the rest a waste of time, energy, and money. Why would anyone spend a galleon and fourteen sickles on a potion to make you look tan when you can just sit outside and get a free one that you don't have to apply everyday? After drying off, I marveled at how sexy Lily looked in the mirror now that her fake tan was gone showing porcelain skin that looked so much more natural with her, now, wet red hair and a towel wrapped around her. I walked back into the dorm. Now that I took the time to look around, I noticed one huge difference between the girls dorms and the boys: the girls dorms, or at least Lily's, had mirrors everywhere! Small ones, wide ones, long ones on walls, wardrobes, dressers, and even on the door to the stairs. And I thought Sirius was vain by carrying a mirror in his pocket. Why anyone would need so many mirrors was baffling!

I walked over to Lily's dresser and looked in the wide mirror hanging above it. Now that the tan was gone, her green eyes really stood out against her light skin and freckles previously unseen, probably covered up by some of the potion crap sitting on her dresser, added character to her face. I could feel the blood pool to under her cheeks and the site of her blushing in the mirror was so cute it made me fall for her all over again.

I used a drying charm I've seen Sirius use a thousand times and her hair, which I always thought was straight, bounced up into loose curls. How much does this girl do to herself? Kinda annoyed at how much Lily tried to change her appearance, I opened the dresser to pull out her clothes.

"Good morning, Lily," Alice said yawning. I jumped not expecting her to be standing just out of view of the mirror. She laughed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I had the most amazing dream last night!"

"That's nice," I replied while trying to clip the bra and failing miserably at it. Why does the clip have to be in such an awkward place?

I saw Alice frown in the mirror, "Don't you want to know what it was about and why are you trying to put your bra on like that?"

"Trying to be difficult," I expected a laugh and a joke which is what my mates do when ever I use that line but only received a raised eyebrow. I threw the bra back in the drawer deciding to just let the girl go free for the day and grabbed I pair of knickers, "so what was your dream about?"

"I dreamed that we graduated top of our class and you got married to that hunky Ravenclaw you were passing notes with yesterday in Ancient Runes," she must have seen the shocked look on my face because the next thing she said was, "I'm your best friend, you should know I'd have noticed especially when your getting all friendly with a guy that's been described as 'sex on legs'. One look from that boy gets me flustered," now it was my turn to raise my eyebrow, "What? You can't tell me he doesn't get your heart pumping when he looks at you with big blue eyes and gives you that charming smile."

"No, he doesn't," I replied as I pulled on Lily's school robes but as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I realized that's not what Lily thought as Lily's memory of yesterday flooded my mind.

I was sitting in class coping down symbols off the blackboard that Professor Babbling said would be on our next test when a tiny butterfly made of paper fluttered onto my desk and unfolded itself over my parchment. It read, Your so silly, Lily in the most beautiful handwriting I had ever seen. I looked around and caught the eyes of Bertram Aubrey who was leaning back in his chair two rows behind me on the Ravenclaw side giving me a wide smile, I felt the blood rush to my cheeks.

I tore of a bit of parchment and wrote, Why am I silly? Before tapping it with my wand and it folded itself into a butterfly identical to the original and it fluttered off. The reply came saying, Because your taking notes.

Taking notes? What's so silly about me taking notes? I put those thoughts down in my next note and sent in on its way. His reply made the pressure in my cheeks rise to the point that they ached, You could ace this class in your sleep, you don't need to take notes. By the way, I think it's cute when you blush.

I replied, I get good grades because I take notes and study. And thanks, I've actually always thought I looked like a tomato when I blush.

I looked at him as I waited on his reply, he was sitting crooked in his seat with his body angled in my direction. After he sent his reply, he gave me a wink before looking back to the front of the classroom twirling his quill, You should try to relax. And if you look like a tomato then your the cutest tomato I've ever seen.

If I had thought I couldn't blush any harder then I was proven wrong in that moment, How would you suggest I do that?

I was nervous waiting for his reply and he didn't disappoint me, Want to go to Hogsmeade with me next weekend?

I wrote a fast reply and sent him a smile while playing with a strand of hair. My day couldn't have gotten any better, I have a date with Bertram Aubrey.

I hated it but it was like Lily's body was acting of its own accord, I was blushing. Alice smiled, "You're such a lair! So, what did he say?"

"Well, he kinda asked me to go with him to Hogsmeade next weekend," I said brushing Lily's hair behind her ear. Alice squealed, "Oh my god, are you serious? What are you going to wear?"

Suddenly, I felt really nervous and anxious, What is wrong with me?, "Actually I haven't picked anything out yet. Should I have?"

Alice rolled her eyes, "Of course, this is Bertram Aubrey we're talking about not to mention your first date. First thing we do after classes is find you the perfect out fit. I'm so happy for you!" she threw her arms around me and then announced she was going to get ready for classes and entered the bathroom. After putting on socks and shoes, I left the dorm, This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
