Hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas!! I sure had one, and I am going back to this story. When we left off, James and Lily drank what they THOUGHT was water… but of course you know by now that it wasn't… so let's see what happens shall we?
I got this plot inspired by the rag tag movie Freaky Friday. Actually, it wasn't half bad, it was kinda funny and very morally in some ways. Well on with it now before you readers bite my head off!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
James woke up to a strange ringing noise coming from the right side of his bedpost.
That's funny, I could've sworn my alarm clock was on the left side… and I don't even set my alarm this bloody early anyway!
James woke up to see something he didn't expect to see. Sleeping silently on their respective beds were not his usual friends and fellow Marauders, but rather his counterparts……..
Girls?
He looked harder and found Jade, Carly, Penny, and Alice sleeping and snoring. Actually Carly was the only one snoring, and rather loud too.
Hmm, something's going on here. Why the hell is the girls in our dorm? And where's my friends at?
Suddenly he realized that everything in sight was clear, and he had no glasses on. He was excited.
Thank Merlin, I can see again!! It's a miracle! Maybe those carrots helped after all… he thought remembering what he had for dinner the night before.
As a typical boy would think, he thought he was in heaven. He was right inside the girls dormitories, and they were all in their night clothes.
Wait till I tell Sirius!!
He flopped out of bed and went towards the bathroom and turned the light on. He turned the sink on to wash his face and then looked at the mirror, and jumped back in horror.
"What in blazes are you doing here Evans! Evans?" James touched his face and realized that Lily was doing the same gesture.
"Wait a tick… what in the world?" James raised his right hand, and Lily raised her left.
Then it dawned on him…..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Two screams could be heard on both sides of the Gryffindor dormitory as the two known as Lily Evans and James Potter ran down the stairs. They met eyes and once again……
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Evans, what are you doing in my body?!?!"
"What are you doing in MY body, Potter?!?!"
"I don't know!! What did you do this time?"
"Me? This is probably your fault!!!"
The rest of the Gryffindor woke up and angrily marched their way down the stairs to see what the commotion is all about.
"Oh, no, you two AGAIN?!" said Penny.
"Wait!! I'm her! She's me! We're each other!" James said (remember, he's in Lily's body).
"Whoa whoa whoa, ok so let me get this straight," said Remus. "Lily, you are James. And James, you are Lily."
"Way to repeat what I just said Remus." said James.
Remus stared at the figure of Lily. "Hmm, you guys are telling the truth."
"How did this happen?" asked Jade.
The two then pointed at each other and then glared at each other simultaneously.
"Once again, it's both of your faults." said Carly.
"Shut up. What are we going to do?" said Lily.
(A/N Just making sure you get this straight. From now until I say, when Lily is talking, it REALLY is her, she's just in James' body. Vice versa for James in Lily's body. You get the picture)
"Well, first of all, you have to find out how in the hell you guys did this in the first place." said Sirius. "Then, you're going to have to switch back…"
The others gaped at Sirius. "Sirius, that has got to be the most intelligent thing I've ever heard you say." said Jade.
"Thanks. Oh yeah, and after you change back, then James gets to tell me what all of you wear during bed time."
"And once again you're back to being a prat." said Jade with a glare.
James and Sirius snickered while Lily huffed.
"Well, come to think of it, the water I was drinking tasted a little funny, Potter."
"Yeah, actually I uh… I think I drank some of that too." said James sheepishly.
"Great… how are we supposed to find the antidote?" said Lily.
Remus came in. "Well, there's only one thing to do…"
James scowled. "And what's that oh logical and wise one."
"Just wait till potions and then just ask the bloody professor to change you back."
"No freakin way." said Lily "I don't want to be stuck in this crazy mess."
James then looked at Lily. "Heyyyyyyyy I'm pretty sexy!"
"Oh shut up Potter." said Lily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The day went by and Lily and James were miserable being each other up until potions when they shyly told Professor Coggins what happened. Coggins was furious at their clumsiness, but changed them back nonetheless, after giving them another week of detention of course.
As Lily, James discovered what it was like to be a girl. All the gossips, all the things that girls talk about. He was really not liking it. Fortunately, it wasn't Lily's "time of the month" yet so he didn't have to worry about that. He learned a lot about Lily Evans and her natural habits, like the way she scrunched up her nose every time she was concentrating. He also found out what it was like to be a muggle born, as he overheard some Slytherins in the hallway calling him a mudblood. Sure, it sounded bad before, but when you actually were one, that word just made you feel devastating. But still being a kid, all it did was make his hatred for Snape increase. After this experience he certainly respected Lily a bit more than before, but not enough to actually befriend her.
Lily learned a lot about James as well. Hanging out with the Marauders almost all day, she got to see how kind hearted and care free they really are. It must've been a blast being a Marauder, and Lily was enjoying herself, despite the fact being in James' body. She learned that James could do a lot of really cool stuff, like twirl a quill around his finger, and all those little unimportant talents that made James who he is. Lily got to see a glimpse of true Marauder prank planning as all four of them pranked Jade and Carly by making their food spell out insults at them. It was loads of fun, actually, and Lily realized that the Marauders really weren't all that bad. It's just James that's bad. she concluded.
All in all, everything turned out alright, and the two learned about each other more than they ever did in the first year, partly because they spent half a month in detention with each other. They managed to be civil with each other for the rest of the year, and just like that, everyone parted ways to their respectful homes for the summer, eagerly anticipating an exciting third year.
Of course, third year is where the REAL fun begins………
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry, folks, I know you expected a whole plot from all of this, but I decided against it. Too many chapters on their second year, and I've taken too long with it. I need to get them into some real life situations and whatnot so that you all can enjoy it a bit more, so I just kinda summarized what I was originally going to make two or three chapters out of. Well, third year is coming up, and I'm sorry. I know this chapter disappoints you, but hopefully I'll redeem myself in the coming of the third year.
Trust me… it'll get better. I promise. Peace.
