I Want A Divorce!
A/N- AWSOME! Your reviews make an old author (even though I'm only thirteen) makes me feel all nice and fuzzy inside! Okay, maybe that was too dramatic. But the reviews from people like soft n' fluffy and SweetSouthernGal are so touching and motivating that it makes me start typing right on the spot! I'm going to leave comments to peepz who review at the end of the story cuz there isn't much room up here. Anyways, I think this is the longest chappie I have written in this story. Enjoy!
Important Reference: Oh ya, by the way since Lily and James swapped places I am going to refer Lily as Lily stuck in James body, and James as James stuck in Lily's body. Is that confusing? In other words I am referring them for their mental states, not physical.
Disclaimer- You know the drill, Harry Potter is not mine and I have no idea who kidnapped Sirius Black.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
Chapter five- Just die Potter, Die…
James Potter rushed passed Lily's worried friends and made a mad dash towards the boy's dormitory, causing a few curious stares to go his way, including the attention of one blue eyed Marauder…
James violently cursed out every –bad words that the author might get kicked out for- under the sun when his horrified suspicious proved to be correct. There in front of him stood, well…him, wearing a panicked expression bordering between fear and fury.
Perhaps this is just a very bad dream?
SLAP!
Perhaps not…
"JAMES POTTER! This is the most outrageous, idiotic prank that you have ever pulled off! When I get back in my own body…oh you're going to regret it! Forcing me to look at your hideously fat body and taking my identity is a violation of the Wizard's code of Rights, Section B Paragraph 6! When I'm through with you, the rest of your children's, children's are going to feel this till the day they die! Then I'm going to have you thrown into Azkaban! Or better yet, explosion from Hogwarts!" Lily rambled on as she made wide gestures with her hand, pacing around James as a tiger would to get ready to strike her pray.
Yup… I've switched bodies with Lily Evans… James thought grimly as he rubbed his…er her stinging cheek.
"CHANGE US BACK NOW!" Lily bellowed purpled faced as James seemed to tune her out, veryused to this verbal abuse to his ears.
So Lily slapped him again.
"Ouch, Evans! What did you do that for?" James snapped, finally out of his reverie.
"What did I do that for?" Lily repeated dumbly, her mouth wide open, apparently baffled by the lack of intelligence there can seem to be in one's brain. "This is all your fault!"
"This is my fault?" James asked indignity, crossing his arms over his chest, in what he hoped to be a very intimidating way, forgetting for a fact that he was not as taller than he used to be. "Why is it my fault? I didn't do anything!"
"Because..." Lily said with the air of teaching a very stupid person that the sky is blue. "It's the laws of physics."
"Wha?" James asked, but then seeing the superior look on Lily's, well technically his face (which was very creepy by the way) and quickly muttered, "Never mind, I don't want to know."
"JUST REVERSE THIS SPELL!" Lily bellowed once again.
"I ALREADY TOLD YOU I DIDN'T DO IT SO I DON'T KNOW HOW!" James yelled back.
"Are you serious?" Lily whispered, then looking at James' set expression she knew. "No, no, no, no, NO!" she yanked on her short jet black hair in disbelief as James gave out an indignant cry of "My Hair!" in the background.
"That's it!" Lily's head shot up in inspiration as a brilliant though hit her. "Let's ask Professor McGonagall to fix this!"
"No, she might think we're trying to get out of this program, and since you're in my body and seeing that she trusts me sooo much…" James trailed off frowning.
"As much as I hate to say this Potter, your right…" Lily slumped her shoulders dejectedly. "She's not going to believe us, especially coming from you, physically I mean." She added at the last second.
"How bout Dumbledore?" James suggested.
"NO!" Lily cried out, for she had a very high respect for her headmaster, seeming that coming to him for a problem such as embarrassing as this would be just unthinkable!
"Well, maybe we should wait and see if this spell wears off…" said James.
"What?!? I'm not going to be you for gods-know-how-long!" Lily exclaimed.
"Well, we don't have much of a choice do we?" James smiled his cocky grin of his; the only thing keeping Lily from slapping him again was the fact that he was wearing her face…literally.
"Should we tell our friends?" Lily asked timidly, fearing what the answer would be.
"Well, if you wanted to get shipped to Saint Mungo's than all you had to do was act like yourself Evans." James replied.
After a brief moment of intense thinking Lily gave a loud sigh, and decided to go along with their little plan. "Fine Potter, I'll try to live your life as you do mine until this thing wears off, but if you mess up my life one bit Potter, your dead."
"Funny, you'd think I'd stop walking around by now." James smirked, making Lily scowl.
"Just die Potter… Die…" Lily muttered as they both made their way down to their common room, none of them noticing a stifled fit of giggles that followed the closing door.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
(A/N- I waz gonna stop here, but nah, I wouldn't do that to you guys! Notice how I copied James' and Lily's last quote from Harry and Snape.)
-At the common room-
Emmeline and Amber jumped at the sight of Lily quickly leaving their conversation with Remus to make sure she was fine.
"Lily, what happened are you alright?" Emmeline asked as the real Lily gave a meaningful glare at James, who was completely ignoring her.
"Oh, no I'm fine!" James squealed in a high pitched voice, making Lily slap her forehead and Amber to raise an eyebrow. "I just realized how totally hot Potter was and just had to see –ouch!" James was cut off by Lily's angry foot jabbing into his.
"Umm, I meant." He quickly crossed his arms and gave an unconvincing scowl. "I-hate-Potter." He grunted as though he was a caveman.
Amber and Emmeline exchanged disbelieving glances with each other.
"Whaaaaat he-she meant to say was that there was a very important Heads meeting we missed with Professor Dumbledore, therefore we both over panicked and rushed out to..er meet him." Lily said sweetly while jabbing her elbow into James several times.
"In the boy's dormitory?" inquired Remus as he once again abandoned his book to join the conversation.
"Errr… I went up there to collect Potter, but to only find out that ummm, the date was changed from an owl post." James quickly lied, earning a relived look from Lily, which didn't go unnoticed by Remus.
The girls however, seemed to reluctantly accept this excuse and climbed up the dormitory staircase, Emmeline shooting James one last worried look before she went inside.
"Well that makes sense…" Sirius popped out of thin air behind the couch Remus was sitting in; making him choke on the glass of water he was currently drinking.
"Where'd you come from?" Remus spluttered as he tried to wipe his wet robes dry with his hands, only to receive a grin similar to the Cheeserie cat in response.
Turning to Lily he said, "Ol Minnie wants to talk to you and Fire Flower over there for the parent project Prongs."
Lily's hand was twitching to reach her wand at the annoying nickname Sirius has dubbed her, but somehow managed to grit out a 'Thank you' before angrily dragging James out of the Gryffindor common room.
As soon as the portrait hole shut closed Remus turned to Sirius to ask his opinion of Lily and James' strange behavior, to only find him missing.
"I hated it when he does that" he muttered before happily resuming with his book, (for the sixth time, mind you).
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
"That was not subtle Potter! If you keep that up, then what's the point of keeping this a secret!" she lectured a very dazed James as they made their way through the corridors. "Potter pay attention! Potter?"
"The project…." James whispered depressingly.
"What of it?" Lily asked, piqued at the source of his discomfort.
There was a long awkward silence before James whispered, "I'm going to be….a mother."
At this Lily Evans laughed her way down the staircase, fully convincing anyone who passed by, that James Potter, was in fact mental.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
A/N- Okay, end here! I realized that Lily and James didn't need to go to McGonagall's office since all what she's going to say, I will need to repeat in the next chapter. I was going to do a Siri POV here, but nah… Don't wanna give away too much on his plans. Anyways, here's some response to your reviews!
TO….
SweetSouthernGalninjamonkey, Crystal, apotterlover, and the-power-of-love
- Like I said up there, your reviews are so kind and motivating! Your enthusiasm to my story just fuels my desire to write more. Please review again so I know you are still reading this.
Black Padfoot- No one said the word 'forever' in chapter one, Lily was thinking those thoughts. She shivered because her mind just thought of the one thing she thinks she fears. Yes, this is a school project, but they will end up together forever because they'll really get married eventually. This is just a story of how love blooms with a bunch of funny twists thrown inside.
Khadon- Thank you so much for taking your time to see my story! (this goes to all my other readers as well) I didn't know you would respond to my question so quickly! I was wondering if you'd give me advice on how the plot is going (which you did) and a bit of my writing, for I know I have a couple of grammar mistakes thrown in there. I was going to have them go to Dumbledore, but I want to make this as original as possible, though I'll keep that in mind for later.
Katkit- You are such a faithful reader. Sigh, I know you must be mad for my other story, but after that chapter I wrote, I didn't know what to do next, so I resolved in rewriting it, (which as you can see isn't going so well). At your request, I will repost all the other chapters I put down for Love is A Mystery, and try to scrap out the events until it gets to the adventure part I promised. I am however, very glad you decided to read this story as well. Thank you!
PLEASE REVIEW!
