A quote on one of my diaries
Now for the story, but when you review tell me if you like the whole quoting thing and the dates. If you do, you can give me quotes by you or that you like and I can put it in the next chapter and dedicate the chapter to you, but that is only if you want me to. The only chapter I can't dedicate to anyone else is when Lily and James get together because I promised g.c. Smores that, that chapter would be just for her. Thank you everyone for reading. I won't keep you waiting any longer.
I NEED HELP! You guys I need some suggestions for my story. I need things like pranks and things that can happen. I have a few ideas, but right now I am having like the worst writer's block ever so anything you can do to help me is greatly appreciated. I would also dedicate a chapter to you if you help me! Anyway if you want to help me and have any ideas then you can just email me at and just put for the topic fanfic ideas so I know it isn't trash and I won't throw it out. Thanks!

Chapter 19 – Secrets revealed and love confessed
A week had passed at Hogwarts. Lily and James had a full cast for their play. (A/N – this is very IMPORTANT: I am changing that play that they are doing! They are no longer doing Romeo and Juliet. It is now A Midsummer's Night Dream, by Shakespeare. Ok now that I am have told you I shall continue. Oh and hopefully you all know the story of a Midsummer's night dream. If not you will just find out by reading this story. Ok now I am just having verbal diarrhea so I will shut up.) They had already made all the props using magic. Josh was still being overprotective and Lily (A/N – the real one) often teased him for not playing nicely with his fellow classmates and not sharing. This only made situations worse.
Lily knew she shouldn't be annoying her boyfriend, but his reactions were priceless. James had begun to tease he about how Sirius was rubbing off on her. She would often glare at him and walk away when he did. This would send James into fits of laughter and he often received many stared from other students.
Every day James would have meetings with Michelle and Becka. They had been assisting him on his quest to win Lily Evans back. They would meet at the room of requirement after dinner and all do homework together, but mostly James would have them tell him about Lily.
After about five days of this, Michelle and Becka had gotten tired of talking about Lily all the time. They also couldn't think of anything else to tell James about Lily. In this case, the resorted to pestering James until he would tell them what Remus and Sirius thought of them.
--------------------------------------------------------
It was now Saturday morning. James awoke to Lily's muggle thing that she called an alarm clock ringing. He woke to find his surrounds very familiar. It was what used to be his room before him and Lily switched places. Then James realized how uncomfortable he was; he was lying on the floor.
The night before came flooding back. He had awoken to something that sounded like crying coming from his room. He had gone to see if Lily was ok, but she wasn't awake. He was pretty sure she was just having a bad dream so her woke her up. They talking for a little while and then when James was heading back to what was now his room, Lily stopped him and asked him to stay with her. He couldn't help but smile at the request.
He had lay there next to Lily and thought about how many times he had imagined this moment, except for the fact that he would have preferred to be in his own body right now. Just when James was about to fall asleep, Lily had pulled all the covers over to her side of the bed and left him shivering in his thin nightgown. (A/N – wow James in a nightgown. Lol) James had then resorted to sleeping on the floor after he went back to Lily's old room and stole her blankets.
James propped himself up and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. His back was so sore. James swore that he was never, ever going to sleep on the floor again. (A/N – we all know he would only do it for Lily!)
James stood up and then jumped onto his bed making Lily jump awake.
"Hey Lils! How did you sleep?" James asked sitting down, Indian style next to her.
"Good, after you came," Lily replied and then yawned probably the largest yawn James had even seen.
Just then Sirius and Remus burst into the room.
"James, Halloween is in only two weeks and-" Remus shouted, but then stopped at the sight of Lily and James on the bed together.
"A sleepover and I wasn't invited?" Sirius asked and started pouted.
Lily sat up and threw a pillow at Sirius while she blushed a deep red.
"Oooh you made James blush, Padfoot," Remus said smacking Sirius on the back.
Sirius and Remus started laughing at the two, but when Michelle and Becka arrived they stopped.
"What is so funny?" Becka asked from the doorway.
"Oh nothing unusual, James and Lily were just having a sleepover," Remus said sarcastically.
"Yeah and they didn't invite me," Sirius joked and went back to his fake pout.
"Oh shove it Padfoot," Remus said giving Sirius a playful shove in the shoulder.
Sirius was not ready for this and ended up falling over onto Michelle, who blushed the darkest red and shoved Sirius off her.
"We will just be going now," Michelle said and dragged Becka off into Lily's room to exchange their happiness.
"Girls," Sirius said.
"Sirius!" 'James' shouted.
"What Prongs? It isn't like you're a girl," Sirius said and then raised an eyebrow at 'James'. (A/N – ok I know a lot of people have been getting confused so I think I will just clear this up right now once and for all. When I say things like 'Lily' and 'James' I mean like the person's body. So if I said something like 'James' said it would really be Lily talking, just James' body. Do you get it? And if it doesn't have the little quote things then it is just that person. So 'James' means Lily and 'Lily' means James. James means James and Lily means Lily. Hopefully that helped and just didn't make you more confused.)
"Oh…um…yeah…heh," Lily said, trying to cover up the fact that she had just tried to be herself, which shouldn't be happening since she was in James' body.
"Well, if you will just excuse me, I am going to hang out with Becka and Michelle," James said, getting up and leaving the room.
"So Prongs, looks like Lily is becoming quite fond of you," Sirius said which made Lily blush.
"Umm…yeah I guess you could say so," Lily said.
"Enough of this. Now for the pranks," Remus said and got out parchment and a quill. He joined Sirius and 'James' on the bed for planning.
----------------------------------------
(James, after he leaves the room.)
James got up off the bed and left his room. He walked over to Lily's room and was greeted by Michelle and Becka grinning.
"Sleepover, eh?" Becka said winking at James. (A/N – haha, eh? God I love Canadians…)
Michelle started talking before James could respond, "He fell on me." Michelle smiled and her face got all dreamy.
"Oh suck it up, it is just Sirius. I could arrange for him to fall on you again," James said and walked the rest of the way into them room, with Becka and Michelle following at his heals. All three sat down on Lily's bed together.
"Ok, first of all, Michelle get over yourself," Becka began and Michelle started frowning and glaring at Becka. "Secondly, we want all the details of your escapade with Lily. Oh and please tell it like a girl would; guys just aren't umm descriptive enough."
"But I am a guy," James complained.
"Eww gross," Sirius said from the doorway.
Michelle, Becka and James all turned to face Sirius.
"She isn't a man. We were just umm…joking," Michelle said, trying to cover it all up.
This didn't stop Sirius. "Yo Remus, James, Lily is a man," Sirius shouted across the room.
"I thought you were going to the bathroom," Remus said.
"Oh yeah, but I just couldn't help eavesdropping on the girls I mean two girls and a man," Sirius said.
"I am not a man," James insisted.
"Then why did you say you were," Sirius asked matter-a-factly as Remus and Lily showed up behind him.
Lily was staring daggers into him and mouthing something along the lines of, 'Why the hell would you say something like that with Michelle and Becka in the same room and Sirius and Remus only one room away?'
"Ok group meeting," Becka shouted and everyone filed into a room.
James looked at Becka with a confused look, but she mouthed just trust me.
"Ok Lily is James and James is Lily. End of story," Becka stated simply.
"JAMES POTTER, WE ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE NOW!" Lily shouted and ran out of her room and back to James' room, slamming the door shut behind.
"Well that didn't go as well as I expected," Becka said sitting down on Lily's bed.
"Thanks a lot Becka, now Lily hates me," James complained and slumped down against the wall.
"This is some Jerry Springer shit," Sirius muttered. (A/N – ok I know I stole that line from the movie White Chicks, but hey this is facfiction. Oh and I know that wizards probably don't watch Jerry Springer, let alone know what a television is, but people just bare with me here please.)
"Great now James has gone into his damn sulk again," Remus complained.
They all heard Lily leave James' room with a slam and stomp of out of James and Lily's common room.
"Someone is in a good mood," Michelle commented sarcastically.
"Come on James lets just go to breakfast," Becka said comforting Lily. This past week she had come to realize how much James really loved Lily. Now Becka felt completely awful because it was her fault that Lily was angry with James.
"You guys can go on without me," James said from his slump against the wall.
"Oh no you don't," said Sirius and pulled James to his feet. "NO MORE SULKING!" Sirius screamed right into James' face in a blood-curdling shout.
"Damn Sirius, you didn't need to wake the whole castle," Michelle said as she clasped her hands to her ears.
James looked completely awake now. "Hey at least it worked," said Becka.
The group of five left Lily's room and made there way to the great hall. They arrived only to find Lily screaming at Dumbledore and everyone staring at her.
"Bloody hell, that is my arse she is getting in trouble," James began and then remembered Dumbledore already knew that they had switched bodies. James remembered that he only had two weeks left to be Lily. November first he would be back in his own body, be rid of Josh and have Sirius and Remus back. The thought comforted him.
They all headed over to Gryffindor table together and made themselves comfortable.
Lily finally came over and sat down with them.
"I would just like to apologies to all of you. I umm…talked to Dumbledore and he laughed and said it was ok," Lily said looking down at 'her' lap.
Sirius burst out laughing and James looked like he had never been happier.
"It is ok Lily," Michelle and Becka said and pulled Lily into a hug.
"We are still going to hang out with James though," Michelle said and stuck her tongue out at Remus and Sirius.
"But Lily is no fun. No offense Lily," Sirius said and started pouting.
"Oh yeah no offense. I just feel sooo loved. Not," Lily said and started pouting with Sirius.
"Don't be such babies," Remus said and threw a piece of chicken at Sirius. (A/N – ok yes I know that some of them are eating chicken for breakfast, but hello this is Sirius, Remus and James we are talking about.)
They all started laughing as Sirius attempted to lick sauce off his face.
Just then Dumbledore stood up and silenced the room. He cleared his throat and began talking, "I have decided that we start a new tradition at Hogwarts. We will call it Holiday Baskets. We will pick three girls from each house and then will put together a lunch basket. Then to raise money for a further event we will auction off each girl and the person who wins gets to share lunch with them on Monday and gets half of the day of classes off to spend time in Hogsmeade with them. You will have to make up the work you missed; I just thought you guys would have fun with this. You can all continue with breakfast. I will contact the 12 chosen girls by dinner tonight. Have a good weekend." Dumbledore finished and sat back down.
Half the boys were looking over at 'Lily' and mentally counting how much money they could spare. James looked like he was about to die.
"I'm not voting for you, James," Sirius said.
"He will probably get stuck with Josh," Michelle teased.
"This is so not cool. One of you have to save me from the horror," James complained.
Just then Josh came over, "Hey Lily, don't worry I will vote for you." Josh winked at 'Lily' and then left.
"I told you this was a horror. I cannot spend another day dating Josh, but Dumbledore expects me to last two more weeks," James grumbled as her ate his cereal.
"This is going to be so hilarious. Too bad your not gay, mate or you would have a lot of fun with this," Sirius said and then started choking on his chicken because he was laughing so hard.
"Himliccio," Lily said as she pointed her wand at Sirius. He immediately stopped choking.
"Thanks lils," Sirius said as he caught his breath.
"Anyway," Becka began, "Who do you think they will pick?"
"Lily obviously," Michelle said.
"Ooo what if all three of us get picked?" Becka squealed.
"Do I really have to be auctioned off to q whole bunch of horny little boys going through puberty?" James complained.
"It will be fun," Michelle tried to reassure him.
"Yeah for you," James shot back.
"I wonder who will vote for me if I get picked," Michelle said and started to look dazed.
Sirius looked alarmed, "Other people can vote for you, but I am going to win."
"Whoa aren't you the possessive one," Remus said and punched Sirius in the arm.
Sirius turned bright red and tried to make up an excuse while Lily and Becka were both sharing private smiles with Michelle.
"If you will excuse us boys," Michelle said and left the room, dragging Lily and Becka with her.
Once they were clear of the great hall, Michelle started jumping up and down and squealing.
"Ok Michelle, you need to calm down," Becka said.
"Deep breathing," Lily added.
"I know, I am just so happy," Michelle said resting her head against the wall of the hallway.
"Well my special moment is still to come," Becka said and sighed.
"Becka, we all know Remus likes you. You guys are both just umm a bit too shy," Lily said trying to cheer up her friend.
"But then again, you guys did kiss. That has to be a good sign," Michelle said trying to cheer Becka up as well.
"Yeah, but he hasn't really mentioned anything about that since it happened," Becka complained.
"Maybe he just needs a little bit of help," Lily suggested as a devious grin slid across her face.
"You have changed Lily, but lets hear this plan that I know you are scheming," Michelle said, getting excited.
"Well it isn't anything big or anything, but I was thinking that we could lock Becka and Remus in a room together and just conveniently leave them there for awhile," Lily said.
"I am standing right here you know," Becka said.
"Ok, Becka would you mind if we locked you up somewhere with Remus for a couple hours?" Michelle asked.
"A COUPLE HOURS?!" Becka said and stared, flabbergasted, at Michelle.
Michelle returned Becka's stare with a raised eyebrow, "You know you would enjoy it, but fine will just leave you there for like thirty minutes."
"Well...yeah…I would, but thirty minutes sounds more reasonable," Becka confessed and then turned red.
"Ok, now we just need a room," Michelle said.
"My dears, we can use the room of requirement," Lily said.
The two girls gave lily a quizzical look so Lily had to explain the room to them…
-------------------------------------------------
(Remus's pov. It is after breakfast and the boys are hanging out in the Gryffindor Common Room.)
Becka walked in through the portrait hole. Remus would have expected Lily and Michelle to be with her, but no one came in after Becka. He watched as Becka walked over to the sofa where him, Sirius and James were sitting.
"Hey you, I was wondering if you would help me with my homework," Becka said to him.
James and Sirius both raised eyebrows at Remus.
"Umm…sure Becka," Remus stuttered.
"Come on, let's go to the library where we won't be disturbed by these fools," Becka said smacking Sirius upside the head.
"Hey what about James?" Sirius said rubbing the spot where he had been hit.
"Sorry, but I don't want to ruin Lily's body," Becka said and then walked off with Remus following her.
"Girls," Sirius muttered.
"I heard that," Becka yelled just as she left through the portrait hole with Remus.
The pair set off down the hall. After awhile Remus realized this wasn't the way to the library.
"Becka, where are we going?" Remus asked.
"To the library silly," she said and picked up the pace.
Just then, Becka stopped and a door appeared that wasn't there before.
"Why are we at the room of requirement?" Remus asked, puzzled.
"Just because now come on," Becka said and walked into the room.
"Maybe we should just go to the library," Remus said. This didn't seem right to him. He felt like he was walking into a trap.
"Oh now you don't," said a voice behind Remus and he felt himself shoved into the room. He heard the door close behind him and a familiar voice whisper a spell to keep the door locked. He heard to people walking off down the hall, giggling.
"You planned this, didn't you?" Remus said standing up and facing Becka.
"Well, yes, but I just wanted to spend some time with you Remus. You just seem so distant and you haven't mentioned the…umm…kiss we had a while ago. I don't know, I just wanted to know what you were thinking," Becka said looking down at her feet and frowning.
"Look, Becka, I am sorry, but right now we can't be together. You just wouldn't like me if you knew me. I really like you and that is why it won't work out," Remus said looking down at his feet as well.
"But…why?" Becka asked as a little tear rolled down her cheek. "I really like you Remus, nothing is going to change that."
"Believe me, this would," Remus said.
"Try me," Becka said as she worked up her courage.
"I AM A WEREWOLF!" Remus spit out and then looked away, disgusted with himself. He was prepared for the scream, but what came next was so unpredictable to him.
"Oh Remus," Becka said and walked the few steps between them. She pulled Remus into a hug and started crying on his shoulder. "I am so sorry. I had no idea."
Remus wrapped his arms around Becka, "So…umm…you aren't afraid of me?"
"Of course not," Becka said and pulled back her face so that she was looking into Remus's eyes.
"I am so sorry that I didn't tell you earlier Becka," Remus began, but was cut off by Becka pulling him into a small, gentle kiss.
"It's ok," she whispered into his lips. "Now is better than never."
Remus couldn't help but smile. He pulled Becka in closer and made the kiss deeper.
The continued to kiss until the door flung open to reveal a laugh Michelle and Lily.
"Well I see the plan worked," Michelle said grinning.
"We will just be leaving now then, won't we," Lily said as she grabbed Michelle and dragged her off down the hall after she closed the door.
Becka and Remus pulled apart and started laughing as the pair left.
"Well…umm…so does this mean…umm…we are going out?" Becka asked as she stared at her hands.
"Only once you answer this question. Becka would you like to be my girlfriend or would you like to be girlfriend?" Remus asked when Becka looked up at him.
"Neither," Becka said and made Remus frown. "I wouldn't like to be your girlfriend, I would love to!"
Remus grinned and pulled Becka back into another kiss.
"You are so silly Becka," Remus said and then left the room with Becka's hand in his.
-----------------------------------------
Author's notes – ok well that was the chapter people. Yes I know it took me so long to finish that, but I was having like major writers block so I didn't write a lot. I think I might be cured for a little while, or at least we can hope because writer's block sucks. Also I was wondering if I started writing another story besides this one, if you guys would read it. I was thinking starting another story written in like diary format because I love diaries. Anyway tell me your thoughts so I will have some input on whether I start another story.
Now for review thanks:
Born2driveat16 –I am glad that you love the chapter. Sorry that it has taken me so long to update. I have had a cold for a while and a bad case of writer's block. Keep reading please!
Scaryfreak419 – lol, yeah I know what you mean by confusing. It is so hard to write the story now that they had switched. I hope the thing I put at the beginning of this chapter helps out a bit. I am glad you like it though, despite the confusion. Lol.
Freakin-person – Lol. Yeah I know, as I told scaryfreak419 it is so hard to write since they have switched. I keep confusing myself also. Anyway it is ok that you don't have any pranks yet. If you can think of some I would enjoy it, but you don't have to.
SEcReTaGeNtSpYgUrL – I am glad that you liked that chapter. Lol! Josh and James will probably get in a fight after James gets back to his own body. Lol. If they don't get in a fight, James is still going to steal Lily so no worried there. I am sorry that it took me so long to update, but now is better than never.
-Heh heh me
