Here's chapter 15! If you liked "Pretty in Pink", you'll probably like this chapter. No, it's not a 'gross-out' chapter, although some things are a little disturbing but remember, this is rated PG so it's not going to be really super gross. The ironic thing is, the grossest part of this chapter doesn't even relate to the chapter title. A few of you may have picked up on it already but it's not really super obvious until you think about it. I didn't even need to bring it up but if I didn't there would be a bit of a loophole and I hate loopholes. Besides, I personally found the events of this chapter quite humorous. Once again a big thanks to Jen who's helping me out a whole bunch. Jen, you're awesome! Please please please review because when I get reviews I feel happy and I know all of you like to make people feel happy. Anywho, enough nattering, enjoy!
Chapter 15: Toilet Trauma
Lily and Megan hurried down the hallway to the Room of Requirement. They ducked inside, closing and locking the door behind them. As they sat down, Megan pulled out a piece of paper, unfolded it and placed it on the table. The two girls looked over it carefully then got to work measuring ingredients.
"We still need to figure out what we're going to do for glasses," Megan said thoughtfully.
"Can't we just transfigure something?" Lily asked.
Megan shook her head, "No, not without James' prescription," she said," And as far as I can tell, whoever turns into James will actually need glasses to see."
Lily thought a minute, "Can you mimic the appearances of other people exactly?" she asked.
Megan shrugged, "I suppose," she replied, "I've never really tried to mimic someone exactly though 'cause it's really super hard."
"Well, why don't you turn into James then and I'll turn into Sirius?" said Lily, "That way we don't have to worry about James' prescription."
"Makes sense," Megan agreed as she dumped a silvery powder into the cauldron, "I'll have to practice it though, just so everything looks right."
"When are you going to practice then?" asked Lily.
"How about now?" Megan replied. She rolled up her sleeves and squeezed her eyes shut to concentrate. She wrinkled her nose and with a small 'pop!' her hair changed jet-black and short like James. For added effect, it was also quite messy. She wrinkled her nose again her nose, which had a bump on it (presumably from being hit by a bludger or two during Quidditch), straightened itself and became identical to James'. Her ears grew slightly but her own broad shoulders became narrower. Her legs, which were rather muscular from sports, grew very skinny and knobby as she grew a few inches. When she opened her eyes, they were no longer blue, but brown. She now looked like a rather feminine James.
"Not bad for your first try," Lily commented, "You look like his girly brother."
Megan studied herself in a mirror on the far wall, "I need a picture to look at for details," she said thoughtfully, "Although, Sirius was right, James does have 'great legs'. Just look at them in this kilt! It's very Scottish." (A/N: No I am not insulting Scottish people! I happen to be Scottish thank you very much.)
Lily giggle, "I think when we do this we should wear really horribly tacky clothes," she said, "Like pink!"
"Yeah!" agreed Megan, "And orange!"
"Neon green!"
"Purple!"
"Yellow!"
"Plaid!"
"Tie-dye!"
"Floral print!"
"So old lady clothes?" Lily asked.
"Yep, that sounds about right," Megan said with a grin, "Only its more old lady meets a hippie drag queen who's day job is a being a lumberjack."
"Sounds good," Lily agreed as she tried not to burst out laughing.
"I'm definitely going to need a picture of this to go with the one of James singing "I Feel Pretty"," Megan said thoughtfully as she changed back into herself with a final 'pop'.
"I want one too," Lily sad, "But how will we get one?"
"A camera perhaps.?" Megan replied.
"But we'll need someone to take it for us, won't we?" Lily asked.
"Lily, have you learned nothing?" Megan asked. She pointed at several bottles of potion ingredients, which floated over to her. "Magic makes everyday things much simpler."
"I see," Lily said.
"The thing I'm worried about is our alibi for being late for dinner," she said, "We can say we're finishing homework or something in the Common Room but the potion lasts an hour. Unless we." she trailed off, lost in thought.
Lily thought too. What could they do to for the timing to work?"
"I've got it!" Megan exclaimed suddenly, startling Lily.
"What?" Lily asked.
"First you'll drink the potion that will turn you into James then you'll drink the potion again but instead of containing a piece of Sirius' hair." Megan started excitedly.
"Eew! I have to put Sirius' hair in it?" Lily said.
".You'll drink the potion but it'll have your own hair in it!" Megan finished triumphantly.
"I have to eat.drink.digest Sirius' hair?!" Lily exclaimed.
"Well yeah, you need a piece of the person you're turning into," Megan said, "Would you rather use his toenail clippings?"
"No!" Lily said.
"See, hair's the best thing to use," Megan said.
Lily thought a minute, "Wait, Sirius is a guy," she said.
"Obviously," Megan said as she rolled her eyes.
"So if I turn into him does that mean I'll have, a, you-know-what?" Lily asked. (A/N: If you can't figure out what she's referring to, you're an idiot. And I also think a lot of people will stop reading here or will start sending me bad reviews saying they can't believe how disgusting I am and how they'll never read my story again.)
"Huh?" Megan said, confused, then it clicked, "You mean a.eew! That's gross! Oh my god!"
"So I would?" Lily asked, "That's super gross!"
"Good god! I didn't even think of it when I came up with this idea!" Megan said, "Eew, that's just sick."
They calmed down slowly.
"So are we still going to do it?" Lily asked tentatively.
"It's up to you," Megan said, "But I think we might as well. How bad could it be?"
"Yeah, yeah, let's just do it," Lily said slowly, "It'll only be for an hour max, right?"
"Right," Megan said.
They worked in silence for a few minutes until.
"Ah crap, why didn't I think of it before?" Megan said, "Of course it would happen, they're guys and we're girls. Eew, that's just downright wrong."
The two spent another several minutes in hysterics trying to get over the grossness of their revenge situation.
*************
Lily lay on her bed thinking about the Polyjuice Potion. Talk about revenge being bittersweet. She couldn't get past the fact that she would be turning into a full-fledged boy, it was quite a disturbing thought. Oh well, if it meant revenge she figured it was worth it. She rolled out of bed and dressed quickly before going down to the common room where she discovered Megan was busy writing something in the corner. At that moment, all eight of the first year Gryffindor boys (Remus had returned a few days after his sudden departure) came clattering down the stairs.
"Good morning Lily!" Sirius said cheerfully, "Lovely morning isn't it?"
It took all of Lily's self-control to keep a straight face. "Yes it is," she managed to say.
"We're still waiting for that revenge you promised," James said with a slight smirk.
"Oh it's coming," Megan said as she walked over, "But in the meantime, you can have some fun with this." She held out a piece of paper and James slowly took it, his smirk having vanished in an instant and been replaced by an expression of horror.
His went white as a sheet as he read and looked thoroughly gross-out. "Three words," he said, "You are so twisted."
"That's four words," said Megan, "But thanks."
Sirius took the paper from James and he howled with laughter. "This is brilliant!" he said, "This is going to be great!"
"Maybe for you," James said angrily.
Lily looked inquiringly at Megan. "What does he have to do?" she asked.
"He has to go into the girls' lavatory, stick his head in the toilet and I'm going to give him a swirly," replied Megan.
The other boys roared with laughter but James wore a rather pained expression.
"What's a swirly?" Lily asked.
"You don't know what a swirly is?" David said in surprise.
"If I knew would I ask?" Lily snapped.
"Ah," said Dave.
"A swirly's when someone sticks their head in a toilet and you flush it on them," Steve explained, "Muggle bullies do it too. Well, boys do anyway, it's not really a 'girl thing'."
"It doesn't sound like it," said Lily. She felt about reading to throw up. "For once I have to agree with James. You are twisted Megan."
"Oh, I know," Megan replied with a grin, "But it makes things so much more amusing."
"I suppose," Lily said slowly.
"I didn't used to mind your sick sense of humour but now I do," James said.
"That's alright," Megan said, "Anywho, after Defence Against the Dark Arts we'll make a little pit stop before coming back to the common room so you can worry about it all day."
"You mean we have to wait all day for the excitement?" Sirius groaned, "Come on Megan! Make him do it now and have him go to class all gross!"
"Hey! Who's side are you on anyway?" James demanded, "Quit giving her ideas!"
"Actually, that sounds like a good idea," Megan said slowly, "Thanks Sirius! OK, James you'll do it right after breakfast before History of Magic."
"I am so going to kill you Sirius!" James yelled as he lunged at his laughing friend.
Sirius jumped away and an off, James chasing after him.
"Sorry mate!" Sirius said as he ran, "But it'll be funny!"
*************
The Gryffindor first-years walked down the hallway to the girls' bathroom. When they reached it, Megan pushed open the door and they went inside.
"Myrtle?" Megan called, "Are you in here?"
A silvery ghost floated over. She was a young girl wearing a Hogwarts uniform and glasses. Her hair was in pigtails and she seemed rather gloomy. Then again, Lily thought, most people would be gloomy if they were dead.
"When am I not here?" the girl replied.
"Ah," said Megan, "Sorry."
"What do you want anyway?" the girl demanded.
"Well, I was wondering if you would allow us, the Gryffindor first-years that is, to humiliate one of our own," Megan replied.
"What does he have to do?" asked Myrtle.
"He has to stick his head in the toilet and get a swirly," replied Megan.
"You said 'he'," Myrtle said, "But this is a girls' bathroom."
"That's what makes it even more amusing," said Megan, "So can we?"
Myrtle hesitated, "Well." she said slowly.
"You can flush the toilet on him," Megan said.
Myrtle grinned, "OK!" she said eagerly.
The group crowded around one of the stalls and James stepped inside. He took off his glasses, handed them to Sirius and took a deep breath.
"Ready?" Megan asked.
James made a strange gurgling noise in reply and the group giggled. He glared at them.
"Well then, do it!" Megan said and slowly the group began chanting, "Do it! Do it!" at James.
Slowly James lowered his head into the toilet. Myrtle floated over and flushed it on him. Everyone laughed as his already messy hair swirled around his head like crazy in the water. He straightened, his hair flat to his scalp in wild clumps, took a fist full of robes and wiped his face.
"I will get you back," he said to Megan as he took his glasses from Sirius and put them back on.
"Maybe," Megan said, "But I doubt you could come up with anything as bad as having to stick your head in a toilet."
"That's what you think," James said before storming off. The boys followed him still laughing.
Megan turned to Myrtle, "Thanks Myrtle," she said, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Myrtle shook her head, "No," she replied, she was no longer quite as gloomy as she had been before, "But thanks for the offer."
"OK," Megan said, "Well, we better get to class so bye."
"Bye," Myrtle said.
The girls left and headed to class.
"I wonder what people will say when they see him?" Brittany said with a grin.
"Well I think he looks like a drowned rat," Karen said.
Lily turned to Megan, "How'd you come up with that anyway?" she asked.
Megan grinned, "Simple," she replied, "I realized guys hate going in the girls' bathrooms and what do think of when you think of bathrooms? Toilets. So it was quite an easy plan."
"I see," said Lily, "But it's still overly disturbing. You sure have a sick sense of humour Megan."
"What can I say?" Megan said, "Guess I'm just gifted. Either that or it's because I hang out with boys all the time."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
OK, that's all for now! Hope you enjoyed and weren't to disturbed. I can almost guarantee a few people will never read this story again because of the events/realizations in this chapter. The whole thing with the Polyjuice Potion was kind of obvious though if you think about it and I'm sure some of you thought about it beforehand. That obvious will pop up a few more times until it's no longer relevant to the storyline but I can almost promise that there will be no more swirlies ever. Anywho, hope you all had an awesome Halloween on Friday! I know I sure did! Please review (even if you think I'm a sick minded freak)! Thanks!
