Chapter Two: I didn't mean to do that! Part One

"Are you going to talk to me?"

It was Saturday morning and James and Lily were in the Head's common room, Lily on one side of the room, James on the other.

"I have to. We have to work out the prefect's shifts. So get your lazy butt over here and let's start." Lily said simply. James happily walked over to Lily and sat down in the chair next to her.

"Now, Mitchell and Selsbury should be able to take over shift three, since they won't have any classes then and they're not on the Quiddich team." Lily said, scribbling down Mitchell and Selsbury under Shift 3 on a chart McGonagal had given them. She let her hand rest on the table as she studied the list of prefects. James couldn't help it. He rested his hand on top of Lily's. She looked like at him like he was crazy and scolded him.

"James, we're going to be living together and---" Lily was cut off.

"You just called me James instead of Potter!" James said in awe. Lily turned a light red color.

"Well, like I said, we're going to be living together, so we might as well get along with no romance involved." Lily said as her cheeks turned back to normal. James looked down at his hand and waited a few minutes to speak again.

"Wisteria and Enilejna can do shift one."

It was raining out, and the students were forced to stay inside that day. James and Lily stayed in their dorm all day. Lily sat on the couch, reading a spell book. James was on the other side, staring at Lily, barely blinking.

"Lily, could we please talk?" James asked for maybe the hundreth time. Lily finally put down her book and gave a disgruntled,

"Fine." James walked over to her and sat in the chair next to her's and began talking,

"Do you know what it's like to be rejected?"

Lily opened her mouth to say something, but closed it after thinking about the question. She had never been the dating type. She shook her head and James nodded his.

"I'm sure you haven't. Well, take it from someone who gets rejected by a certain special someone everyday," he gave her an odd look at this, "It's not fun."

Lily, for the first time, looked at James's eyes with something other than hatred. Pity and guilt.

"James, I don't know what to say." she said lamely.

"You don't have to say anything. I just want you to think about that." James said reluctantly. "I'll leave you to your book."

He turned to go back to his original chair.

"James, wait." Lily said quickly. James spun around and raised his eyebrows. Lily had no idea what she was about to do until she did it.

She kissed James Potter. That immature James Potter who made her sick and deserved to eat frog's droppings. When she pulled away, realizing what she and done, James looked at her with wide eyes.

"I-- I didn't mean to do that!" Lily squeaked. But James's face had just broke out into a grin.

"You like me." he said playfully, batting his eyelashes.

"Don't get cocky, Potter, I didn't mean to kiss you!" Lily said grudgingly.

"But you did." James said slyly. Lily turned red and snapped,

"Just when I thought we could be friends, you had to go and get all vain and cocky again!" She scowled at James and ran up to her dorm.

James leaned back on his chair, thought about what just happened, and said under his breath,

"Damn, I'm an idiot."

James sighed, mentally hit himself on the head and sulked all the way up to his dorm. He quickly wrote a letter to Sirius, knowing he couldn't talk to him in this, er, "form". He sent it with Niddy, his owl and anxiously waited for a response.

Over with Sirius...

"Sirius, you got a letter." Remus said, looking up as a brown owl with a white line down it's chest swooped in and a letter was dropped off next to Sirius.

"That's James's owl." he muttered as the owl flew out. He opened up the letter and read it through slowly, not believing it's content, Remus looking over his shoulder, Peter not paying attention.

Dear Sirius,

You won't believe what happened! Lily Evans kissed me! But then, I got all cocky and she hates me AGAIN! What should I do? What should I say? I have no idea what to do! Everytime I talk to her, my stomach does this big flip-flop and I feel ready to throw up! If you want to come talk to me, the password is Hunkydory.

James

"JAMES AND LILY KISSED?" Remus exclaimed. Hazel and Molly spun around in a millisecond.

"JAMES AND LILY KISSED?" they cried in unsion. Sirius scowled.

"Smooth move, Remus." he said sarcasticly. "Well, I'm going to go talk to him."

"I'll go to. I NEED to talk to Lily about this!" Hazel said anxoiusly. The two of them walked out of the common room together, an awkward silence between them.

"So, Parsley, you're the one who's been sending me those love notes?" Sirius said slyly. Hazel turned scarlet.

"Uh, he he, yeah." she said nervously.

"Sorry to make you uncomfortable. Friends?" Sirius put out his hand to shake. Hazel grasped it and said brightly,

"Friends."

"Here it is." Hazel said, coming to a painting of a butler with a balding head.

"Password?" he said tonelessly.

"Hunkydory." Sirius said quickly. The painting swung open and the two walked in.

Hazel walked briskly into the room with a plaque that said Lily, and Sirius in the one that said James.

With Sirius...

"Lily? What are you doing in James's room?" he asked uncertainly. This was definitely James's room: it had Quiddich posters all over and a snitch was floating lazily near the ceiling. But Lily's body was there, not his best friend's.

"Sirius, let me explain. I'm James. Lily and I kind of... switched places." James said slowly. Sirius laughed gaily.

"You switched places? Let me guess, and it's all your fault?" Sirius said slyly. James turned red.

"Yes." he said. He was kind of annoyed: having Lily mad at him was enough, now his best friend had to reminind him it was his fault Lily and him switched.

"So, where's Lily now?" Sirius asked, sitting down on James's bed. James stared blankly out his window and answered,

"In her room."

"So, it looks like you've gotten yourself into a load of trouble, hmm?" Sirius asked, studying James's face expression.

"I've waited six years for this, Sirius! And now she despises me.. again." he said tonelessly.

"Don't worry, we'll get you through this, Prongs. I will, and so will Moony and Wormtail."
