Disclaimer – I don't Harry Potter but I sure as hell own anything that is unfamiliar to you.

Author's note – Yay I am so happy!! I got a lot of new reviews so I just couldn't help making another chapter.

Here is another beautiful poem by me for you:

Colors of my Emotions

Red is for the anger

And hate I feel for you

Or it could be for the love I have for you

The love that makes me cry to sleep at night

Black is for nightmares

And all the thoughts I think

The thoughts so crazy that

You would die if you lived in my head

Orange is for the sunrise

Welcoming a new day

Beckoning me to wake from my slumber

To start another

Even if I am not sure it is worth living

Blue is for piece

Your comforting arms holding me

The tears flowing down my cheeks

Or maybe sot blankets

I am wrapped up in when I finally fall asleep

White is for the emptiness

All the things that go wrong in this world

It is what makes me wish

I had no emotions at all

Clear is for the unclear future

What I never know will happen next

The world

The people

So unpredictable

Yellow is for the smiley faces

They make you laugh when you are down

For everything good in the world

Hot pink is for my friends

Or the people who call themselves that

It is for the bizarre things we do

Things we do that make people stare

And think freaks

Lastly pink is for the color of my cheeks

The color they turned when I poured

My life and soul out to you

And then sat there, naked and empty before you

-Erin

I would like to dedicate this chapter to all my new reviewers because I love new reviewers. Thank you all!!!

Chapter 17 – The arrival of Josh and how do I use the body?

Lily awoke and found herself curled up in James' bed. He had an extremely comfortable bed she realized. It was a king sized bed with red and gold blankets, pillows and sheets. His room was decorated to display his likings; there were Quidditch posters everywhere. He had clothes and food all over the floor. This would not do; Lily decided that the first thing she would do is clean his room for him. She rolled over in his bed and looked at the picture of his two presents. He looked exactly like his dad. You could tell he was related to his mother also. She was a very pretty person. Lily knew she was caring just by looking her picture.

Then Lily found herself staring at a picture of her. She was laying under a tree besides the lake at Hogwarts. Her hair was hanging over her shoulders. She was reading a book. She looked pretty she had to admit. The picture was framed in a gold fame with little hearts engraved along the edge. She couldn't help but smile.

Lily got out of bed and bed and headed to the bathroom. Then she remembered she was a guy. Oh my god, I have no idea how to go the bathroom.

Lily quickly ran out of James room and headed to her own.

Lily said the password to her room and then tip toed past Michelle and Becka who were curled up in their sleeping bags on the floor. She made her way over to her old body and prodded it in the shoulder.

"Pst…James wake up," Lily whispered.

"Huh? What?" James asked as he rubbed sleep from his eyes.

"I need your help," Lily said and blushed because of why she needed it.

"Ok what do you need my help with?" James asked, now awake.

"Umm…well…I…erm…I…I don't know how to pee," Lily said and then looked down at the floor blushing.

James burst out laughing, which made Michelle and Becka jump awake.

"Dang Lils I was trying to sleep," said Michelle grumpily.

Becka yawned and opened her eyes. Then she spotted James and screamed, "JAMES POTTER, WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING IN HERE? WE COULD BE NAKED FOR ALL YOU KNOW! GET OUT RIGHT NOW!"

"I needed to talk to Lily," Lily answered simply and then had James follow her out of the room, leaving Michelle and Becka with confused looks on their faces.

"Lily this is hilarious," James said still laughing as they sat on the couch in their common room.

"This is not funny James. I really have to go pee, but I don't want to look or anything and I don't know how," Lily complained.

"Well…erm…how do I explain?" James said thinking.

"Well do you know any spell for empting your blatter," Lily asked, almost pleading.

"Actually, I think Sirius might know one," James said, "But it would be weird if I went up to him and asked."

"Please," Lily pleaded because there was no way she was going to ask Sirius, but then she remembered James was her and she was James. "God damnit, I have to ask him, don't I?"

"Yep, unless of course you want me, Lily Evans, to," James answered and then started sniggering again.

"Ugh, fine," Lily answered and stooped off to the boys' dormitories.

Lily arrived to find Sirius and Remus talking.

"Hey Prongs," they said in unison as lily showed up in he doorway.

"Padfoot, do you know a blatter empting charm?" Lily asked pretending to be James.

Remus and Sirius burst out laughing.

"Yeah, I have one, but why do you need it mate? I think you are perfectly able to pee yourself," Sirius answered through fits of laughter.

"Just give me the charm," Lily demanding getting more annoyed and more embarrassed by the second.

"Ok mate, calm down. The spell is peous," Sirius said and went back to laughing with Remus.

Lily stomped back to James' room and performed the charm. She immediately felt relieved and gave herself a mental note to thank James and maybe Sirius for that matter.

Lily looked around, disgusted by how dirty James' room was. If she was going to be living in here for another month, she might as well clean it up. Lily started on one side of the room and worked her way across. Two hours later she was finished and James' room once again looked like it had the first day he had moved in.

By now it was the middle of lunchtime, Lily hadn't eaten breakfast, so she was dieing of hunger. She made her way to the great hall only to bump into James on the way.

James looked rather annoyed and disgusted. Lily was clueless to why.

"What is wrong James?" Lily asked after making sure no one else was around.

"That stupid boyfriend of yours has arrived. Oh and he tried to kiss me. I had to make an excuse and make a run for it. Oh and guess what else, he is in Slytherin," James said utterly disgusted by Josh Madison. (A/N – but then again we are all utterly disgusted with Josh Madison for ruining Lily and James' beautiful love. Don't worry though; Josh will get what he deserves. I grin deviously)

Oh god, Lily thought, now everyone is going to think I am a house traitor.

Lily stood there, stunned for a second.

"You are such a house traitor Lily, but I am the one stuck in your body," James said, annoyed.

"Sorry, but please don't do anything bad," Lily begged, knowing that James would try to ruin Josh's life at any chance he got.

"I will just have to see about that," James said and then walked off, still completely annoyed and disgusted that he had to be in Lily's body while she was the one dating Josh.

Lily continued to the great hall and when she arrived, Sirius called her over.

"Prongs, that Josh kid is here. He is in Slytherin. Lily is such a house traitor. What shall we do first?" Sirius asked. He had that glint in his eyes that he always got when he was up to something.

"Come on Sirius, we don't have to get revenge on him," Lily said, but then stopped when Sirius and Remus started giving her strange looks.

"Feeling sick, mate?" Remus asked.

"No, I feel fine," Lily replied and started to pile food on her plate.

Remus and Sirius went to whispering about how James had been acting so strange lately.

"Can you please stop talking about me while I am here," Lily asked.

"No," said Sirius simply and continued on talking about James with Remus.

Lily sighed; this was going to be one long month.

After Sirius and Remus had stopped talking, they had mischievous looks in their eyes.

"What?" Lily asked as they looked over at her.

"Halloween is coming up," Sirius said, as the grin on his face grew wider.

"Perfect time for pranks," Remus said, his grin matching Sirius'.

Just then Dumbledore stood up, saving Lily from having to plan pranks against her boyfriend with the two craziest people in Hogwarts. Dumbledore began, "As you all know, Halloween is coming up in a few weeks. We will have our feast as always, but I wanted to add in something new this year. This year we will be putting on a play for Halloween. It will take place after the feast. I am leaving the choice of the play up to head boy and head girl. They will hold try outs and if you want to find out more, you can come to them after I tell them all the details. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your weekend because classes start again tomorrow."

"Now that this play is happening, a whole new window of opportunities is opened," Sirius said getting even more excited.

"Well, I have to go talk to Dumbledore," Lily said excusing herself.

Lily got up from the table.

"James," Dumbledore said teasing, "So glad you could make it." Dumbledore chuckled a little bit.

"You said you needed me for talking about the play. I can just fill James in on the rest of the stuff later. He wandered off somewhere with my body," Lily said realizing how funny this would sound to anyone who had no idea that the two had switched bodies.

Dumbledore chuckled again, "Very well Lily. You and James will have the three weeks until Halloween to pick a play, hold auditions and all the other things. As you know, the play will take place after the feast. You are James are welcome to be in the play as well. You can have the prefects help you with everything as well. I hope you enjoy this. Come to me if you have any questions, Lily." Dumbledore excused her to go talk to McGonagall.

Lily left Dumbledore and went to find James. As she exited the great hall, she bumped into someone rather familiar, Josh Madison.

"Sorry," Lily apologized quickly, forgetting she was supposed to hate him.

"Oh, if it isn't jealous potter?" Josh said, mocking 'James'.

"Excuse me?" Lily asked. Josh had never acted like this towards anyone. "Is something wrong?"

"No, nothing is wrong as long as you keep your wandering hands off my girlfriend," Josh said and slammed 'James' up against the wall.

Lily felt the breath forced out of her and pain in her back as she connected with the wall. She gasped for breath as it had all been knocked from her lungs. Josh was being a real bitch.

"Get your fucking hands off me," Lily said completely upset now. She had quite a temper and even though she really liked Josh, if he thought he could treat any of her friends like this then he was wrong.

"Only if you keep yours off Lily," Josh said threateningly.

Lily shoved him away from her and ran off down the hall. She needed to talk to James and she needed to talk to him now.

--------------------------------------------------

James was sitting in his real room, waiting for Lily to come back. He hadn't been very nice to her. I mean it wasn't her fault that she liked Josh and that he turned up in Slytherin. He realized how nice his room looked. It had never been this clean before except for when he first arrived.

Just then Lily burst through the door. She was out of breath and looked utterly pissed.

"Is there something you would like to share with me?" James asked, forgetting why he was there in the first place.

"Yes I would actually," Lily said trying to catch her breath.

She continued, "I bumped into Josh on the way out of the great hall and he attacked me."

"The bitch," James yelled jumped up from the bed. His hands were balled into fists and he looked like he was going to kill someone.

"James calm down," Lily said. She had finally started to calm down herself; she thought that Josh was probably just jealous.

"Calm down?" James said his voice rising even louder. "You want me to calm down? Your fucking boyfriend just attacked you, well he thought you were me and you want me to calm down? I don't think so Lily. I am going to kick his ass whether I am in your body or not. There is no way you can stop me."

"James, I am a lot stronger than you. Remember I am you," Lily said, reminding him and blocking his way out of the door.

"Lily move," James said getting even angrier.

"No James," Lily said, holding her footing.

James pulled his wand out and pointed it at Lily, "Don't make me hex you Lils."

"James just calm down. Please," Lily begged, staying in the doorway.

"Lily your boyfriend is a psycho! Why do you think he was in the hospital? You only go to the hospital if you are psycho!" James yelled and then realized what he had just done.

"Well I guess that makes me a fucking psycho!" Lily screamed, her eyes brimming with tears. "Get the fuck out of my room Potter!"

"No wait Lils I didn't mean it. Not like that," James said forgetting all about Josh.

"You have done enough damage. Now get out right now. Find yourself someone else to be in love with. You don't want to even know me because I am psycho!" Lily screamed. By now there were tears flowing down her cheeks. She wanted James to leave now. She knew it shouldn't hurt, but she felt the pain because of James.

James gave up and left the room. As he shut the door, he heard Lily fling herself onto his bed and burst into fits of tears. Why did he always have to let his anger get the better of him? He had really screwed up this time. How could he let himself say that? James didn't know, but he was quite angry with himself.

----------------------------------------

(Ok now I am going to tell everything over from Josh's point of view. I think it would be interesting this way.)

Josh had left the hospital and arrived at Hogwarts just fine. Dumbledore greeted him at the door. He had only met the man once before; it had been with his parents. He knew everyone spoke highly of Dumbledore, but Josh couldn't see why he was so special. He was just old and ugly, nothing more in Josh's mind.

Dumbledore took Josh to his office. It was just before breakfast time. Dumbledore got down the sorting hat and put it on Josh's head.

"Slytherin," the hat shouted, the second it touched his head.

"Very well," Dumbledore said and led Josh down to a room called the great hall.

People had begun to file into the great hall. Josh stood next to Dumbledore. Once everyone had been seated, Dumbledore began talking, "We have a new student joining. He has transferred here from another school. I will expect you all to welcome him. His name is Josh Madison and he had been sorted into Slytherin." Dumbledore pointed over to the Slytherin table. "That is your house table," Dumbledore said and motioned for him to go sit with his pupils.

As Josh made his way over to the table, he spotted Lily at the Gryffindor table. He tried to smile at her, but all she did was glare. He had no idea why she was angry with him, but he suspected it was that James Potter's entire fault.

Josh sat himself down next to a blonde kid.

"Lucious (A/N – is that how you spell it? Well you all know whom I am talking about.) Malfoy," the kid said.

"This here is Severous (A/N – did I spell that right?)," Lucious said pointed to a dark haired boy across the table.

"Josh Madison," Josh said. He already liked the boy; he figured they would become friends.

Suddenly food appeared and everyone started to dig in.

"So why are you here?" Severous finally asked.

"I hated my old school so I came here," Josh simply answered.

"We can show you the ropes," Malfoy offered. "Show you the good from the bad." Malfoy sneered.

"Lily said she would help me," Josh said and was about to continue when Severous and Malfoy gave him disgusted looks.

"Lily Evans? The mudblood?" Malfoy spit out.

"Yes, we are dating. She has some jealous guy that hates me though. I am so going to kick his ass," Josh said.

"James Potter," Severous said, not even asking because he already knew the answer.

"So you're the person that has put him in such a gloom," Malfoy stated. He liked Josh better already.

"I would guess so," Josh said having no idea what Malfoy was talking about.

"In that case you are allowed to be a friend instead of a foe," Malfoy said and went back to eating.

Severous nodded his head in agreement. Josh excused himself to go look for Lily. He spotted her over at the Gryffindor table talking with two guys and two girls. Josh made his way over and sat down next to Lily.

"You must be Josh," said one of the girls.

"Yeah," Josh answered, which got him disgusted looks from the two guys.

"We will be leaving now," said the guys and they got up and walked away, glaring at Josh the whole time.

"So Lils hasn't told us a lot about you," said the other girl.

"She hasn't now," Josh said turning to smile at Lily. He leaned in to give Lily a kiss on the cheek, but she left up causing Josh to fall off the bench. Everyone started laughing at him.

"Dumbledore needs me," 'Lily' said and then ran out of the great hall.

"Strange," the two girls said in unison.

"I didn't get your names," Josh said.

"I am Michelle Brown," the black haired girl said.

"And I am Becka Wilson," said the other girl. "Those two boys were Sirius Black and Remus Lupin. Sorry about their attitude. And you must excuse Lily. She has been acting very strange lately."

"It's fine," Josh said. "Well I better get going, Malfoy said he would show me the ropes."

Becka and Michelle's mouths dropped open.

"Malfoy," the muttered in disgust and then ran out of the hall as fast as they could.

Josh was quite confused. Lily had some strange friends he thought. Josh got up and went back to sitting with Malfoy.

------------------------------------------

(Time has passed and now it is lunchtime. Still from Josh's pov.)

Josh made his way to the great hall. He was already quite late for lunch and was starving after all that walking through Hogwarts. He hadn't realized the castle was so large.

Josh made his way to the great hall. Malfoy had told Josh to join him and Severous at the Slytherin table.

Josh bumped into someone on his was to the great hall. It was that potter guy. Josh wanted to kill the guy.

"Sorry," 'James' said quickly.

"Oh, if it isn't the jealous potter," Josh mocked.

"Excuse me? Is something wrong?" 'James' asked looking completely surprised.

"No, nothing is wrong as long as you keep your wandering hands off my girlfriend," Josh warned and slammed 'James' up again the hallway wall.

Josh wasn't into long-term relationships, but he wasn't into other guys flirting with his girl either. James was a threat to him. Josh could tell by the way Lily would look at him and the way she spoke about James. Everything pointed to the fact that she was in love with James and only liked him, Josh. Josh wanted James out of the picture so he could have his fun with Lily and then dump her when he found someone better. (A/N – just another reason to hate Josh)

"Get your fucking hands off me," 'James' growled, threateningly.

"Only if you keep yours of Lily," Josh said.

'James' shoved Josh off him. Josh watched as 'James' ran off down the hall.

This is not over yet James Potter. This has only started to begin, Josh thought and then headed into the great hall and joined Malfoy at the Slytherin table.
