Disclaimer – I don't own anything that is familiar I only own the new stuff which is mine
Author's note – hello loves. I am up with another chapter now. I can't believe this is the sixteenth chapter already! Get ready for some Hogsmeade.
Here is some more crap poetry by me:
Shades of MeRed is for the hate that makes me want to die
Or maybe the love that makes me want to cry
Or maybe for the anger that lives on inside
Green is for the jealousy
Like when he said she was pretty
Or maybe for the monsters living in my head
They make me wonder if life would be better if I was dead
Yellow could be more smiley faces, flowers and bees
But much more likely it is for pee
Or it could be for vomit
Cause you make me sick
Black is for the emptiness
The fright
The fear in my eyes
Or maybe for the lies
The hate
No truth
Blue is for how much I want to be alone
In other words:
GET OUT
GO HOME
Or maybe for tears
And small butterflies
Ahh who cares?
We are all going to die
White is for this piece of before I wrote this
But now it is for my mind
I have nothing left
-Me
So how did you like my corny writings? I feel like crap so I will just continue with the story.

Chapter 16 – Hogsmeade and the switch
Lily woke to her friends coming in through her bedroom door.
"Lily!" squealed Becka and Michelle.
"Today is going to be so much fun," said Lily, beaming, as she slid out of bed.
Becka and Michelle had brought along all their beauty products and what looked to be half of their closet.
"Wow, that is a lot of stuff you have there," Lily commented.
"My dawling we have to look perfect," said Michelle doing her best New York accent.
All the girls started giggling.
"I call the shower first!" screamed Becka and raced off towards lily's personal bathroom.
"Oh no you don't," Michelle said racing after Becka.
"Hey this is my bathroom. I think I should go first," said Lily and she tried to pout.
Becka made it to the bathroom first and slammed the door in Michelle's face. Lily and Michelle could hear Becka laughing from the other side of the door.
"Come on Michelle we can just pick out clothes while Becka bathes," Lily said and went over to her closet to start looking through her clothes.
Michelle walked over to the pile of clothes she had brought over to lily's room. Michelle was searching through her clothes and she found two outfits she liked.
"Lily what should I wear out of these?" Michelle asked, holding up her favorite pair of baggy guy's jeans, a pretty red tank top with a lace border, a pair of tight low rise jeans that were a really pretty dark blue and Michelle's favorite black halter-top. (A/N – ok I know these are muggle clothes but who says I can't put muggle clothes in my story?)
"Hmm…I say go with the lace tank top and the low rise jeans. You can tease Sirius," Lily joked.
Michelle giggled, "I am going to get Sirius back. I am just too irresistible dawling."
Lily and Michelle continued laughing. Becka showed up in the bathroom doorway wearing a pretty red and gold towel. "I am all done now," Becka announced.
"Go ahead Michelle. I still have to pick out my outfit," Lily said and Michelle set aside her outfit and then headed off to the bathroom.
"Ok, Becka, you have to help me find something to wear; I am helpless," Lily complained still looking through her closet.
"Let me see what I can find," Becka said and came over to help lily go through her clothes.
Lily and Becka looked through all the clothes. Becka kept asking lily if she liked this or if she liked that, but lily didn't like any of the stuff.
"This is hopeless, I am probably going to have to go to Hogsmeade naked," Lily complained.
"James wouldn't mind," Becka said raising an eyebrow.
The two girls burst into giggles. Michelle showed up in the doorway, "Shower is all yours Lily."
Lily went off to the shower still having nothing to wear. Michelle quickly changed into her jeans and tank top and then helped Becka find an outfit.
Becka ended up picking out some baggy jeans with holes in the knee that her older brother had given her and a large black shirt to go with it.
Then the two girls went back to Lily's closet to find some pants for lily to wear because they already had a shirt for her; they had gotten it as a welcome back present. Soon they found a pair of black sweat pants that said Lily Evans across the butt. This made them laugh, but they thought the pants would go well with the shirt.
"So did you guys find anything for me?" Lily asked as she exited the bathroom.
"Yea we found some sweats," Michelle said holding up the pants.
"And am I just going to go topless?" Lily asked, which got the girls giggling again.
Once the giggles had subsided, Becka held out the bag, "Here is a little pressie from me and Michelle."
"Oo I love pressies," Lily said and took the bad from Becka. The two friends watched Lily open up the bag and pull out the shirt.
It was a big black shirt that had the words, 'Comfort the disturbed. Disturb the comfortable,' written across it in white lettering.
All the girls started laughing again. "It is perfect!" Lily exclaimed and then got dressed into her clothes.
All the girls were ready now, so they headed out of the room to go to breakfast.
--------------------------------------
(In the boys' dormitory)
James woke up in his old bed to Sirius snoring. He was still wearing his clothes from earlier. He remembered last night; plotting revenge against Josh with his two best mates. Then James realized it was a Hogsmeade weekend. This was also his last day without Josh being here at Hogwarts. James was determined to get Lily back, even if she was dating Josh.
James got off his old bed and decided to just use the boys' shower; he was too lazy to go back to his room. James grabbed Sirius' towel and headed off to the shower.
When James got back Sirius was awake and Remus was just waking up.
"Hey who took my towel?" said an annoyed Sirius.
"Me," James answered showing up in the doorway with Sirius towel around his waist.
"Hey I needed that," complained Sirius. "Now you made it all wet and dirty." Sirius made a disgusted face.
James laughed and dried himself off and then changed. He threw the wet towel at Sirius, "Here is your towel back mate."
Sirius was the next to take a shower and then Remus. All the guys just pulled on what they had yesterday and then walked off to the great hall for some breakfast.
--------------------------------------------
(In great hall, lily's pov)
Lily, Becka and Michelle sat down at the empty side of the Gryffindor table as more people started to file into the great hall. Lily, Becka and Michelle were caught up in their conversation and didn't realize it when the marauders entered the great hall.
Oh course they did notice when Remus sat down next to Becka. Sirius dropped himself down on the bench next to Michelle and mumbled something about yesterday that no one understood. James sat down next to Lily with a big grin on his face, which was quite weird because of this past week.
"Hi," Becka said cheerfully to Remus and the two shared a smile.
Lily continued eating and talking to Michelle. She couldn't get up enough nerve to say anything to James. Sirius was stuffing his face as always and kept taking 'secret' glances at Michelle.
"Will you stop looking at me," Michelle said after awhile. Michelle had always hated it when people kept looking at her. Lily laughed thinking it was pretty funny.
Sirius blushed which was probably the first time anyone had every seen him blush over a girl.
"I just wanted to say sorry about yesterday," Sirius said all of the sudden.
Michelle's jaw dropped; Sirius had just apologized to someone. Michelle didn't think that was physically possible for someone.
"Michelle, close your mouth that is rather unattractive," Lily informed her friend. Michelle obediently closed her mouth and blushed a deep red.
"I accept your apology," Michelle said.
"Wait aren't you going to apologize to me, also?" Sirius asked, taken aback.
"Nope," Said Michelle simply and went back to eating her food.
Sirius stared at her in amazement.
"Sirius I already asked you nicely to not stare at me," Michelle said.
Sirius stopped staring, finally, and went back to eating his food.
Lily couldn't help feeling happy for Michelle because Sirius had apologized to Michelle. She knew how upset Michelle had been over Sirius and she was glad that the fight was over, for now at least.
Now only her and James had to make up. She still felt guilty about the whole Josh thing. She put making it up James on her mental list of things to do today.
Pretty soon breakfast was over and Dumbledore got up to make announcements.
"Today is your first Hogsmeade weekend, as you all know," Dumbledore began. "I hope you all have fun and don't get into too much trouble. Make sure you are back to Hogwarts on time. Lastly, can head boy and head girl please see me before they leave for Hogsmeade? Thank you everyone. You are dismissed," Dumbledore finished and sat back down.
Lily and James were both wondering what Dumbledore was going to talk to them about. Lily really hoped it wasn't something bad and if it was, she really wanted to talk to James and apologize about Josh before they talked with Dumbledore.
Remus, Becka, Michelle and Sirius got up from the table.
Michelle said to Lily, "Lils since you have to talk to Dumbledore, Becka and I will meet you at the Three Broomsticks."
Becka and Michelle said bye to Lily and gave her a hug before they left with Sirius and Remus. James and Lily were left alone.
"James can I talk to you for a second before we talk to Dumbledore?" Lily asked as she tried to muster up some confidence.
"Sure Lily," James said and followed lily out of the great hall.
They stood in an awkward silence for a while.
"So…what did you want?" James asked breaking the silence.
"I just wanted to apologize about Josh. I did like you James. I just want you to know that and I still do, but I guess Josh just got to me first. Maybe sometime it will work out," Lily said looking down at her feet.
"Lily, that day is going to come soon when you will be mine," James said with a sly grin on his face. He lifted Lily's chin up with his hand and smiled at her. "You just wait and see Lily Evans," James said and softly kissed her on the lips.
Then James turned on his heals and walking back into the great hall to talk to Dumbledore. Lily just stood there astonished. She finally got control of herself and walking into the great hall as well.
"So Dumbledore, why did you need us?" James asked as Lily turned up next to him, still looking a little bit surprised.
Dumbledore had a gleam in his eyes. "Potter, Evans, I have an assignment for you. Lately I have heard that you two have been arguing. I have come up with the perfect assignment to fix this. You two will be switching bodies, starting in a few minutes. There is nothing you can do about; I already cast the spell. Have fun at Hogsmeade. Oh and one more thing, the spell will last for about a month and there is no use trying to get rid of it; there is no counter spell," Dumbledore said and then smiled as Lily and James' jaws dropped open.
"Headmaster…" Lily began.
"No buts Ms. Evans. Oh and you are not allowed to tell anyone, even your friends. Now hurry along your friends will be waiting," Dumbledore said and ushered them away.
The two walked off together. Lily and James were both annoyed.
"James we need to talk now," Lily began.
"Well of course! I am going to have to kiss Josh! Eww just no," James said completely grossed out by the idea. Then James realized he could just break up with Josh and a sly grin slid across his face.
Lily noticed the grin and realized what James was going to do. "You wouldn't," Lily said getting worried.
"Hmm…let's think about that. Oh course I would," James said completely satisfied that he held the upper hand in the situation.
"James please," Lily pleaded.
"What will I get out of it?" James asked.
"What do you want?" Lily asked, not thinking.
James stared at her, "Don't be so thick. You know exactly what I want or rather who I want."
"James," Lily pleaded again. "Why do you have to be so difficult?"
James shrugged his shoulders. "Well if you change your mind come tell me," James said and started walking off down the hall.
"I'll think about it," Lily said and followed him off to Hogsmeade.
(A/N – ok the change occurs in the carriage when they are on their way to Hogsmeade to once they are at Hogsmeade then James is Lily and Lily is James. I hope you understood that. For the change they just kind of switched bodies. I hope you weren't expecting a lot of detail because I don't really know what to right, but the point is they have switched now.)
------------------------------------------------
(In the Three Broomsticks.)
"God, what is taking Lily and James so long?" complained Sirius for about the fifth time.
"Geeze Sirius, calm down," Michelle getting a bit annoyed of his complaining.
Just then James and Lily burst into the door both looking a bit disoriented.
"What took you so long, mate?" Sirius asked the fake James.
"We were talking to Dumbledore," said the real James.
"Geeze Evans, your not my mate," Sirius said. Sirius was still angry with Lily for breaking James' heart.
Then all of the sudden the real Lily started laughing. Everyone was staring at her. She quickly realized and stopped. She had just realized that James was going to have to go shopping with Becka and Michelle for the whole day and then have a sleep over with them. This would be quite funny.
"Well Lily we should be off to go shopping," Becka said as she and Michelle jumped up from their chairs, looped their arms into 'Lily's' arms and walked out the door.
Lily watched them go and saw James giving her death glares as the two girls pulled him out of the room completely oblivious to the fact that he was James and not Lily.
"So Prongs, what did Dumbledore need to talk to you and Lily about?" Sirius asked as Lily took Becka's old seat.
Before Lily could answer a waitress came by. "Can I get you anything?" asked the waitress and started trying to flirt with Lily.
"No thanks," Lily said and turned back to Sirius and Remus.
"Was she just flirting with me?" Lily asked with a disgusted look of her face. Then she remembered she was James when Sirius and Remus gave her a strange look.
"Well, I…umm…I…I just eyes from one person; Evans," Lily said trying to cover up the fact that she had been disgusted that a girl was flirting with her.
Sirius and Remus gave her some more strange looks, but then decided to let it go.
"So Moony, where should we go first?" asked Sirius.
"Oh my god, what time is it?" Remus asked when he realized tonight was a full moon.
"Shit it's a full moon," Sirius said realizing it as well.
"And…?" Lily asked, having no idea what they were talking about.
Remus and Sirius stared at her with their mouths hanging open.
"Prongs, are you feeling ill?" Sirius asked.
"No I feel just fine," Lily said.
"I think you are having memory loss," Sirius said still completely taken aback.
"Why?" Lily asked still confused.
"God damnit James! It is a fucking full moon! Doesn't that mean anything to you?" Sirius said getting quite annoyed.
"No. I will be err…right back," Lily said and quickly left the Three Broomsticks to go find James and her old body that he was in.
--------------------------------------------------
(Becka, Michelle and James after they left the Three Broomsticks.)
"Oh my god Lils, we are going to have so much fun," Becka squealed hardly able to contain her excitement.
"Where should we go first?" asked Michelle who was excited also.
"How about the Quidditch store," James said now getting excited at that thought.
Michelle and Becka gave him strange looks.
"Lils, you don't even like Quidditch. The only reason you ever watch it is because you think James looks real sexy when he plays. And you can stare at him while he is playing and he won't notice," Becka stated simply.
"Yea seriously. Oh my god we have to go there," Michelle said as she spotted a fancy dress store.
"I don't Michelle all that stuff looks kind of expensive," Becka said looking at how nice everything was.
"And? We can just try stuff on. That is better anyway," Michelle said as she dragged the two off to the store.
They entered the shop and Michelle and Becka gazed in happiness at all the dresses.
"Bloody hell, they are only dresses," James said. There was no way he was going to try dresses on.
Becka and Michelle looked at him.
"What?" James asked.
"Lily you just said bloody hell," Becka said still staring at 'Lily.'
"Lils you never say bloody hell. Then only time you have said that is when you were late for something and that was only once," Michelle said staring at 'Lily' also.
Before James could respond he saw himself burst into the store, grab 'his' hand and drag him out of the store.
"Hey Lils is spending time with us today," Becka said as 'Lily' was dragged away by 'James.'
----------------------------------------------------
(Lily and James sitting on a bench talking. They just left the dress shop.)
"James, Sirius and Remus were talking about a full moon and when I said I had no idea what they were talking about they started staring at me," Lily said.
"Shit, shit, shit," James said as he realized that today was a full moon. "God damnit!" He jumped up from the bench and started kicked the trash can next to it.
"Is there something you would like to share with me because I have no idea what is going on. Oh and please stop doing that, you are going to ruin my foot," Lily asked.
"I guess since you are me and I am you then I will have to tell you," James said. "You have to promise you won't be afraid of Remus though."
"I promise. Why would I be afraid of Remus?" Lily asked once again confused.
"Remus is a werewolf," James said and then looked at Lily to see what she would do.
"Ok and why would I need to know that?" Lily asked. She didn't care that Remus was a werewolf. He was still one of the nicest people she had met and she wouldn't let something like that ruin her friendship with him. "Is there more to it?"
"Yes," James said. "Sirius, Peter and I became Animungeuses (A/N – ok I don't know if that is the word for it so please correct me if I am wrong. I would go check myself but I am too lazy.) to keep Remus company every month when he changes. I am a stag, Sirius is a dog and Peter is a rat. The thing is that they will expect you to change and go with them."
"God James you are so complicated," Lily said. Sure she liked Remus, but there was no way she was going to be around him when he was a werewolf.
"We need to think of something quick," James said because they were not allowed to tell anyone they had switched.
"I can just pretend I am sick," Lily offered as a suggestion.
"Are you a good faker," James asked.
"I don't know. I could say that Dumbledore needs me for something," Lily said.
"The Dumbledore thing sounds more believable," James said after awhile.
Then James said, "Hey Lily do you know anyway I can get out of trying on dresses." James put on a disgusted face, which got lily laughing.
"Nope, but have fun at your sleep over. And don't you dare watch my friends change you little pervert. Also try not to look at me too much when you change because that would just make me feel strange," Lily said getting disgusted by the thought.
James grinned. "I am going to have so much being you," James said.
"James, don't you dare," Lily said.
"Who is to stop me?" James asked.
"James if you do anything gross, I will ask Snape out," Lily threatened.
"You wouldn't," James said.
"Just watch me James Potter," Lily said grinning.
"Wow I never realized how cute I was when I smiled," James joked and lily hit him in the shoulder.
"Hey that hurt. I never realized how strong I was either," James said rubbing his arm where lily had hit him.
"Aww you poor little thing," Lily teased.
"How about you kiss me and make it all better," James said a grin sliding across 'his' face.
"You are too much," Lily said and gave him a little peck on the cheek. Gross I just kissed myself Lily thought.
"See you later," James said and headed back to the dress store.
"Bye James," Lily said and then walked back to the Three Broomsticks.
---------------------------------------------------
Author's note – so there is the chapter. I hope you liked the poem and the fact that I made this chapter longer than my usual chapters. Anyway now time for review thanks. I would like to thank all my new reviewers. Here are the more specific review thanks:
CountingSheep123 – Yay a new reviewer. I love new reviewers. I am glad you like the story so far. Lol I like the name Jocelyn. It is a very pretty name. I hope you like your name as well.
g.c. smores – First of all thank you for reviewing as always. Lol yes revenge. Lol of course lily and James will get together. I can't wait until Josh shows now, especially because Lily and James have switched places and they can't tell anyone. It is going to be so funny. I know you will love it.
Grace – lol I know. I love writing make out scenes. They are so much fun especially because I am having snogging withdrawal in my life currently so it put some thrill in there. If only I had a James to snog… actually I would prefer a Mike, but at this point I would settle for a broader portion of the people on this earth. Sigh.
Tanya J Potter – I am glad you like the fic. Don't worry we all get angry with Lily, even me. Sigh. Lily will become nice though I promise.
Iluvjd – yea I know it has that anti aparating charm on it, but I was too lazy to have them aparate to Hogsmeade, then walk all the way to the castle. I just figured I would bend the rules a little bit. I hope you don't mind too much.
Born2driveat16 – Lol. Your review made me laugh a lot! Don't worry Lily and James will end up together in the end after a lot of some crazy stuff happens. I laugh deviously because you guys have no idea what is going to happen. Anyway I am very glad that you like the story a lot! I would have gotten this chapter up earlier, but the site was doing updates so it wouldn't let me update until later. At least I got a head start on my next chapter.
-Heh heh me
