Author's Note: Glad to see you like my story. Um... Well, here's chapter 3 then.

Title: Role Reversal

Rating: PG

Spoilers: There aren't too many spoilers in chapters 1-12. The whole story has some spoilers, but how else do you write a fanfic? The chapter with major spoilers is "Old Friends".

Summary: James and Lily make a bet. Lily has to pull a bunch of pranks and James can't do any.

Disclaimer: I, of course, do not own Harry Potter or its characters. If you're reading this, you should already know whom it belongs to anyway.

Setting: This story is set in MWPP years. If you don't know what that means, you probably shouldn't be reading this fanfic.

-Getting Off to a Good Start-

"You what?!"

Lily had just finished explaining the bet to her friends. Veronica just stared. Sarah was the one who had exclaimed.

Sarah asked, "But what if you lose? Then you have to do whatever he says for a month. A month. That's over four weeks. Thirty days. I'm not sure you can handle it."

Lily replied, "I won't lose. He'll be the one doing what I say for a month."

The shorter girl grinned. "Well, if you both lose, at least I won't have to carry my stuff for a while."

!!!

"But what if you both lose?"

"Well, Moony, if we both lose, I'm Sarah and Veronica's slave and she's yours and Sirius's," James explained.

"Hey, thanks for thinking of me, mate," Sirius said from across the room.

"No problem."

!!!

The next morning, Lily had finished getting ready and was about to head downstairs when she heard a yell coming from the boys' dorms.

She turned around to face the two confused girls behind her. "I believe Mr. Potter has discovered my first prank."

!!!

"EVANS!" James roared as he came downstairs.

"Yes?" Lily answered, also entering the common room.

"What did you do?" James was soaking wet and his hair, clothes, and pretty much the rest of him was bright green.

"I'm just trying to win a bet," Lily said innocently.

"I'm wet and I'm green!"

"You never said that I couldn't do anything to you," Lily said, smiling sweetly. "Besides, I think you look good in green," she put in, trying to hold back her laughter.

James gritted his teeth. "Just... never mind."

"All right, fine, Potter. I won't pull any other pranks on you. Except maybe one... And the dye will wash out."

James just rolled his eyes and turned around to go to his room to change. Just his luck, however, the two other sixth year Gryffindor girls came downstairs at that very moment.

Sarah started giggling uncontrollably. Veronica put a hand to her mouth to try to hide her smile.

"Lily, did you do that?"

"Yep."

"Genius."

"Yeah, I seem to be getting off to a good start."

Sarah, still laughing, said, "Green…"

The now green-haired boy said, "Oh, shut up," and trudged up to his room to get back to normal.

!!!

When he entered the dorm room, Sirius asked, "What happened to you?"

"Nothing," James replied, grabbing some clean robes and going into the bathroom.

Sirius, Peter, and Remus burst out laughing.
