Lils: Oy…chapter two is up! Okay…that was really obvious, I know, but I'm running out of things to say. Fortunately, Jaye isn't! Never has, actually…BUT – I just remembered something I'm supposed to tell you – Bree Johnson is in this chapter. I know you don't know her, and that's because she was in our first fic…the one we didn't save because we're both geniuses(note the sarcasm)Yeah…so…Johnson was working with Opal in the first fic, and then at the end we kind of forgot about her so she's back! And just as evil as ever!

Jaye: Welcome to the next chapter! We're having a lot of fun with this story, and I hope you like it too!

Lils: Now to reply to our ONE reviewer who was NICE enough to leave us a REVIEW!

LaBOBuren: Yeah…we know…it wasn't exactly ASAP…but you can blame Jaye for that! Thanks for reviewing, much appreciated!

Chapter two: Catching Up

Artemis and Holly made their way to Hogsmeade the next weekend. When they saw the familiar faces of their friends, they rushed over to them.

"Slowly," Holly warned under her breath as she examined her past Hogwarts acquaintances. Most of them looked distressed in some way…everyone seeming uneasy.

She picked up unfamiliar flares of emotion between them. Flares that Artemis apparently disregarded, but her fairy instincts told her differently.

"Lily!" Artemis cried. "James! You guysyou remember?"

"Yeah," Lily replied, looking at him strangely. "But why did you make us forget?"
Holly opened her mouth to explain, but stopped when she looked around. "What the heck?"

This caused the rest to look around as well. Instead of the familiar streets of Hogsmeade where they had been only seconds before, they were now standing in a vacant space.

"What is this?" James cried, swinging around. All he could see was a gray gloom.

"Fowl?" Lily howled, her eyes flying around the thick blackness.

"Ouch!" Jaye cried, falling to the side as Courtney stumbled over her foot.

"What the heck is going on?" Sirius wailed, accidentally backing into Holly.

Holly fell over. "I don't kno-o-ow!" she wailed, falling over.

"I didn't do it!" Artemis yelped. Lily blindly searched for him.

"I DOUBT IT!"

"Well, well, well," a cold voice sneered. "What have we here?"

Then, Bree Johnson stepped into view.

Lily's eyes narrowed and she tensed. Ready for anything Johnson had to throw at her. Of course, her energy was fueled purely by embarrassment – she never wanted to be stuck in another person's body again.

She opened her mouth…took a deep breath…

"I was wondering when I would have the misfortune of meeting you again," Artemis cut in swiftly.

"How did you get your memory back Johnson?" Holly shot.

"That," Bree smirked, "is for me to know and you to never find out."

Holly clenched her fists, getting annoyed with the fog around her.

"But that isn't what I came here to talk about," Bree continued, reaching behind her. She sang, "I just got a letter."

Jaye narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the letter Johnson was holding. "Hey…is that – "

"A Hogwarts stamp?" Courtney cried.

"Oh yes…seems I do have some magic in me after all. And that means I know."

"Hold on" Lily sounded frustrated. "We're all idiots. LUMOS!"

They suddenly had light. "Well, James thought, "…at least now we can see."

"Know what?" Artemis demanded, ignoring the lights that flickered up from behind him.

"About your destiny," Johnson whispered, and then just as mysteriously as she had came, vanished, the fog clearing out instantly.

"DESTINY?" Artemis howled. He kicked the dirt and sworevery out of character for him.

The rest stared at him in shock. He panted, "S-sorry."


"So…now that you're here…we figured you had better stay," Remus muttered, crossing the Common Room.

"Especially with that Johnson running around." Courtney shivered. "Hey…you okay?"

Artemis sighed.

"Yes, I am fine," he said. "What about you?"

Lily shrugged. "Just wishing that the memories of switching places could have stayed gone. Urgh."

There was a murmur of agreement, and then all fell quite except for the occasional crackling from the hearth.

"What are we gonna do when everyone wakes up?" James blurted.


It was morning, and a dark-haired Gryffindor sat next to a short, hazel-eyed girl.

"Blech, I am so tired," the dark haired girl yawned.

"Eh," Hazel eyes replied sleepily.

"Come on out, Artemis…or should I say, Andy!" Courtney Potter clapped her hands, and out shuffled a very embarrassed-looking Artemis.

"Are you sure these glasses are really necessary?" he protested, squinting through the dusty lenses. "After all, no one remembers us, must we disguise ourselves again?"

"It was this or the punk-Goth costume!" Lily said cheerfully. Artemis cringed. He decided the classes could stay.

"But really Lily…nothing personal…but we only came here to visit, not stay," Holly sighed, feeling too much like a party-pooper. "I mean – it would be fun – "

"For you. At least you're wearing sensible clothes," Artemis blurted.

"Yeah…I guess you're right…" Courtney sighed, putting her arm around Lily's shoulders. "It's okay if you go…I'm sure the others will understand…but before you do, let's hear about your summers."

"Well," Artemis started. "I mostly stayed at homeno missions for me, after what happened here. Nothing important anyway. I did help Holly with a few things, though..."

And so the conversation went on lightly with some laughter. They were old friends again…friends that were blissfully unaware of the dangers that waited for them somewhere in the gloomy future.


Lils: ANOTHER CHAPTER DONE! Gah…do you know how hard it is to copy, open a word document, paste, type, go back and type again on the message and send over and over again? I expect some reviews from you people!
