Chapter 7 Day 6
Lily POV
James is weird. He says he can't stand girl talk and he can't sleep with all the chattering, but boy talk is much worse. Especially when three bloody boys have found new girlfriends. Sirius, Remus, and Peter refused to let me sleep yesterday. It was torture. They did it on purpose, I'm sure. Those evil, scheeming boys. And when they started to describe the girl's kisses, I felt like barfing. And it must have shown since Peter asked me if I was all right. Cynical git. The boys are still sleeping. Hmm, time for payback.
I went into the bathroom, grabbed some shaving cream, and grinning evilly I began putting shaving cream all over their bodies. When I finished I went to the shower, and after a few minutes, I heard a few screams, then some coughing and one of them choking. Hah, serves them right. Then Sirius began pounding on the door.
"James, you git. What did you do this for?"
"Do what?" I asked innocently.
"Cover us in shaving cream, idiot!"
"Oh, that. Well, the thing is, I felt like it."
"YOU BLOODY FELT LIKE IT?" They screamed in unison.
"Yeah. That and the fact that you three didn't let me sleep yesterday because you were describing how your girlfriends kissed! It was disgusting."
"Oh. Okay, I admit we went a little too far on the details, but that's still no reason for you to do what you did to us," Remus said. No reason? How would they feel if I went on all night about how wonderful this guy's kiss is?
"Well, I did it. And I'm sorry." Not.
"Good. Will you finish your bath James? We are the ones covered in cream, not you."
"Fine, I'm done already." I left the bathroom and burst out laughing when I saw the boys. They glared at me and I put on James's clothes fast.

James POV
Okay, I am now absolutely sure these girls are evil. Evil conspiring girls. They spent the whole night telling me how well Sirius, Remus, and Peter kiss. And how last year Kay had a huge snog session with Paul Walker (A/N: Sorry. He's just so hot!) and so and so. I really think I'll have to go to some therapist after this. It's awful. I keeping having awful mental images. I have to barf.
The girls are still asleep. Hmm. Prank time.
I hurried to the bathroom, grabbed a toothpaste and began decorating their heads. Smirking, I hurried to the bathroom. As soon as I finished my bath I heard the screams. Then I heard someone screaming my name. Lily's name, actually. I think it was Mary.
"Yes?" I said opening the door.
"What do you say about this?" Ellie said pointing to her face and hair.
"Somebody put toothpaste on you guys?" I asked in a nonplussed way.
"Exactly. Now, isn't it strange that you don't have any on you?" Kay said, her face red.
"Yes. But what do I have to do with this?"
"Everything!" they screamed in unison.
"Okay, okay. I admit. I did it."
"Why?"
"I felt like it."
"YOU BLOODY FELT LIKE IT!" They shrieked. God, they really have a loud scream. I doubt my eardrums will recover from the trauma.
"Yes. That and oh, the fact that you permanently damaged my eardrums yesterday by yapping on and on about your boyfriends kisses."
"So we did get into a lot of details, but to cover us in toothpaste? That's horrible." Mary said.
"Too bad. I already did it, and let's say I'm sorry, okay?" They glared at me and I hurried to put on some robes. Life is good. And funny. Sometimes.
I left the dorm and met Lily at the stairs. She was smiling broadly and waved when she saw me.
"You know your friends can be very gross sometimes," she said.
"So can yours. They spent the whole night complementing on how well-"
"Your friends kiss?" Lily said.
"Yes. But how did you know?"
"Erm, your friends did the same."
"Oh."
"But they got what they deserved."
"Really? Did you cover them in some sticky substance?"
"Yeah. Shaving cream. From head to toe." Lily grinned like a maniac and I laughed. If she wasn't a girl she could've been a very good Marauder.
"Toothpaste. From forehead to chin." I said and Lily started laughing. After we finished laughing she said,
"We're excused from classes today and tomorrow. We are supposed to conjure the decorations, and since we have a lot of things to conjure, we really need the whole day. And tomorrow we'll be putting up the decorations." No class? Could life get any better? Actually, it could. I could get my body back. Then a thought ocurred to me.
"But wouldn't it be much easier to go to the Room of Requirement?"
"Yes, but Dumbledore said we shouldn't use it too much or else it's magic might fade (a/n: yes, I am aware it's a lame excuse) so we have to conjure most of the things. Not the trees or anything, just the decorations. Oh, and we're also excused from the homework, although we're supposed to review the subjects."
"Oh, okay."
"Yeah, um, shall we go to the Great Hall?" Lily said and I nodded.

Lily POV
I almost died when I saw the note. Of happiness of course. I'll be spending a whole day with him and I won't have homework; just review the days work. Not that I like James or anything, it's just that sometimes he's such a nice company. Sometimes. Everyone is leaving the Great Hall already. Right now it's just me, James, and Dumbledore. Bloody hell! What happened to the tables? All of a sudden they disappeared.
"Don't worry, Mr. Potter. I just vanished them temporarily so that the decorations could fit. Oh yes, and tomorrow, after you decorate everything, I'll put a vanishing charm on them so that people will have a surprise. Very well, I'll leave you to it."
"I suppose we should start," I said, getting my wand.
"Yeah, I guess. So, erm, we're still going together for the ball?" James asked, staring at the floor awkwardly.
"Uh-huh. It'd be a little late to get dates, don't you think? Now tell me something, were you blushing just a second ago?"
"No!" James said indignantly, very red in the face.
"Were too. Hah, James Potter, the oh-so-great Quidditch player was blushing like a schoolgirl!"
"I was not. And even if I was, it'd be a little difficult not to blush like a girl as I'm in your body now," James said sourly. I laughed at him. He's one of the few people who can really make me laugh.
"Good point. But you were blushing."
"Okay, so I was blushing. Satisfied?"
"Very. You're going to conjure the baubles," I ordered. He glared at me and said,
"Is that an order or a suggestion?" to which I said, "An order. Begin." After a lot of grumbling he began conjuring very nice baubles and I was impressed. Of course, I must admit that my decorations were just as good.
"So, have you got any crushes lately?" James asked, trying to look nonchalant.
"No! Do you?"
"You're blushing Evans."
"I don't blush." I said. He was right though, I was blushing. Not because I have any crushes or anything, I know of, but because of his interest in my love life.
"Really? Didn't look like that yesterday when we were talking about Sandra or whatever is her name." He's smirking. The git is smirking at me! How dare he.
"It's not my fault that your body is prone to blush. Or maybe it's used to."
"My body is not prone to blush, nor is it used to. Oh, and by making this comment you just proved that you were blushing."
"How so?"
"Well, since I don't blush-"
"You just admitted you did blush just a minute ago!"
"I blushed because your body is prone to blushing because you're a redhead. Anyway, since I don't blush in my body, it can't possibly have been my body that blushed." Is he crazy?
"What mad theory is this you just created!"
"It's not a mad theory."
"Oh forget it. Anyway, you didn't answer my question."
"What question was it again?" He must have some forgetfulness problem. Really.
"Do you have a crush or not?"
"No."
"Okay then. I'm hungry," I said as my stomach growled.
"We just ate breakfast, Lily."
"It's not my fault that I'm a teenage boy now. You know how it is to be hungry every minute."
"Right. Well, conjure some food or something."
"Naw. I suck at conjuring food."
"Do I always have to do everything?" James said. Do everything? When has he done anything?
"Yes, please." I said just so we wouldn't fight.
"Here you are. I hope you're glad." James conjured a banana and I stared at it. Oh well, better than nothing.
----------
James POV
I just realised what an animal I am. And how loud my stomach growls. Really, Evans just said she's hungry and we just ate breakfast. And then her stomach growled really loud. And to top it off she asked me to conjure her some food, and when I conjured a banana she stared at it as if it was a bread crumb. Of course I'm capable of conjuring much better things but I had just realised how loud my stomach growls, so I had more things on my mind. An she really shouldn't complain, as I'm doing her a favor. Seems like I've been doing her a lot of favors.
"Evans?" I said as I conjured more baubles. I won't be able to look at a bauble after Christmas. Really.
"Yes?" Lily said, not looking up from her growing popcorn string. I think she has some type of attention deffiency, because she doesn't seem to be able to do two things at the same time.
"You are aware that you owe me at least ten more things than Sirius has owed me in our whole life?"
"Actually no. You're only doing what I usually do. And the Charms meeting wasn't exactly a favor. You had a choice, either you went to the meeting or you participated in girl talk." How dare she try to escape her responsibilities?
"What? I didn't only have these choices! For one thing, I could've ditched the meeting and sleep somewhere else."
"Yes, but you didn't think of that then. Sorry."
"Stop smirking."
"What?"
"Stop smirking. It annoys me."
"Really?" ARG! Her smirk is wider.
"Evans."
"Okay, okay. Spoil sport." I stuck out my tongue at her and she laughed.
After a long while we finished conjuring all of the decorations. I think my wand is now a useless piece of wood because the magic was probably sucked out of it. I told Lily this and she said,
"Of course not. The magic doesn't come from the wand, it comes from the person. I thought you knew this."
"No, I didn't."
"Oh come on, James. Use your brain. If the magic came from the wand, then there would be no such thing as muggles! Wand is just a channel, I guess, so that you can control magic."
"Oh."
"You never wondered why you can do wandless magic?"
"Yes, but I never thought of it this way." She does have a point. An excellent one. Lily just shook her head.
"Anyway, we have an hour left. What do you want to do?" I said. Lily's face lit up.
"Snowball fight!" Lily stood up and ran outside. I ran after her but it was kind of difficult to catch up with her since Lily (her body, that is.) isn't the best running thing. When I finally reached her she was holding a snowball.
"Oh no, Miss Evans. Don't you da- ARG!" Her snowball hit me squarely on the face. I wiped the snow off my face and knelt down to get more snow. I made this huge snowball and aimed at Lily who was looking for somewhere to hide. I threw the snowball at her and she shrieked with laughter. Oh no. I hope I didn't throw it too hard, since she fell down. I rushed to her side and she looked like she had fainted. I got closer to her and suddenly a cold thing hit me.
"Why you little sneak! Feigning sickness to throw snow down my robes!" I shouted and I threw another snowball at her, missing.
"Give up James! Admit that I'm the best and always will be and I'll stop throwing snowballs at you."
"Fine. You're the best and always will be. Now let's go, it's getting dark." Lily rushed to my side looking smug and I threw a snowball that I had gotten earlier at her. She stared at me disbelievingly and I smirked.
"Stop smirking," She mimicked. Evans is really getting full of herself.
"Stop it."
"Stop it."
"Lily Evans, stop mimicking me."
"Lily Evans, stop mimicking me."
"Please?"
"Please?"
"Okay, I give up."
"Okay, I give up."
"Lily!"
"Fine, I stopped."
"Good."
"Good." I glared at her and she smiled, running back to the Great Hall.
