Lily was full of worry and nervousness as she and James followed Professor Dumbledore through the corridors of Hogwarts.
Great, look what I've gotten my self into now! Did the Dumbledore see me strangling Potter? I can't be expelled! What if they do send me to Azkaban? I don't like dementors anymore than Caro does! OK, Lily, get a hold of yourself!
All the students who they pasted were staring and whispering to themselves, because everyone knew that if you had to go up to Dumbledore's office, it wasn't good. They were actually staring at Lily, for as a prefect who NEVER got in trouble, they wouldn't expect her to go up there; however, James made frequent trips to Dumbledore's office along with Sirius, so that wasn't as much of a surprise.
All the staring was making Lily more nervous than she already was. "What do you think he's gonna do to us?" she asked James (she temporarily forgot she was mad at him, she was too worried at the moment)
"Ah, don't worry about it, Evans, we'll probably just get a detention or something" he said nonchalantly
"A detention?" she asked with a sign of horror in her voice.
She had never had a detention before, and she didn't want one! That would go on her record, she might not be able to run for Minister of Magic! And that would be just aweful, she thought.
"Yeah, no big deal." James said smirking; he sensed that Lily didn't think a detention was 'no big deal'. "It's only if he offers us a lemon cookie, or licorice, that we are in real trouble."
Haha, this will really get a rise out of her! She is so amusing when mad! James laughed to himself.
"WHAT!"
Real trouble? A detention isn't real trouble? She wondered furiously.
"Miss Evans, would you please remember to keep your voice down while you are in the halls?" Dumbledore reminded her.
"Sorry, Professor" she said, her face almost as red as her hair with embarrassment.
As they turned the corner of the 5th floor corridor, one of the school ghosts, Pandora the Eye, who was know to be a little freaking, shouting old proverbs, curses, and poems at students, was gliding across the hall, but when she saw Dumbledore, he stopped.
"Professor Dumbledore, what brings you here?" she said in a monotone.
"Why hello, Pandora, Mr. Potter and Miss Evans have had a little argument, so I'm taking them up to my office to help, settle, their differences." He said with a wink.
"Arguing, they have been! Well that does need to stop!" She replied. Then she started to chant.
"Two mad with each other, each other they'll be, tomorrow will come and that's when they'll see, and then they will seek, the to become happy once more, and back to themselves they will be!"
With that, Pandora stopped the chant and slowly glided away. Lily and James just looked at each other, confused. Then Dumbledore, who was still chuckling to himself, continued on his way to his office.
What the hell was that? James wondered
There are too many ghosts at this school, Lily thought, Always gliding around, saying old proverbs and riddles.
Soon they reached the end of the corridor, and standing in front of them was a big statue of a large bird. Dumbledore then said the password, 'cherry licorice', and the statue started moving to reveal a spiral staircase. The sixth years followed Dumbledore up the stairs, into his office.

"I know, Padfoot, but did you have to fart in his face? The common room is going to stink for ages!" Remus argued
James and Lily had gone with Dumbledore to his office, and now, thanks to Sirius and all his 'wonderful ideas', the Gryffindor common room stunk. Badly.
"Like I said earlier, Prongsie could've died! I am his savior! It is because of me, that-"
"The common room smells like horse manure!" Remus interrupted.
"That is a minor detail!" Sirius said, truly thinking he saved James life. Remus just rolled his eyes and grabbed his book, sat down in the chair by the window overlooking the grounds, and started to read.
Sirius, who was hurt that Remus found his book more interesting than him, went over to Remus, grabbed the book and threw it out the window.
"SIRIUS!" Remus screamed in horror. "You've got to stop doing that! This is my favourite book, or was my favorite book, I should say!"
"Are you trying to say your stupid little book is more important than me? Books are bad for your soul, Remus, you really shouldn't read so much, it's probably why you are always so irritable and use long confusing words I don't understand!"
"Be careful or I'll bite you!" he threatened. Maybe that will get him to shut up, he thought.
"Oh, you werewolves! Like I said, always so irritable!" Sirius whispered back, shaking his head.
-
Lily looked around nervously as Dumbledore asked them to take a seat. She had never been in his office before, and noticed it was different from all the other teacher's offices. There were all sorts of trinkets and magical gadgets setting here and there, and on the walls pictures of all the previous headmasters and headmistresses of Hogwarts.
"Would either of you like a lemon cookie?" Dumbledore asked the two. Lily gave James a nervous looked and said 'no thanks' to Dumbledore.
"Or how about a piece of licorice? I have many different flavors!" Dumbledore said enthusiastically. "Orange, cherry, Spanish rice, blueberry, coffee, artichoke, pineapple, and of course, the traditional, black."
"No Thanks" they both said, again. Lily continued to look around at the office.
"Oh, well, I believe I would like some." He chuckled, and took a piece of cherry licorice.
Dumbledore saw Lily looking around. "I have some pretty interesting things, here in my office. No, not all of it is mine, but belonged to the headmasters and headmistresses before me." He paused to take another bite of licorice. "Like this quill, for instance," he said picking up a red quill on his desk, "It belonged to Winshed Warfgaurd, headmaster in 326. He bewitched it to never leave the desk, so he wouldn't loose it and he would always have a quill! Quite clever if you ask me, but the only problem is, the quill's been quite sad since its master died, and won't work for anyone else! So I'm stuck with this quill on my desk, but I can't get it to write!" Dumbledore laughed at this dilemma of his.
"As fascinating as that is, Professor, aren't we in trouble? I mean aren't you going to give us a detention or something?" Lily was getting impatient; the suspense of getting her first detention was killing her. Especially if she had to do the detention with Potter.
"Detention, Miss Evans?" Dumbledore questioned, and then appeared to ponder this idea to himself. "No, I believe, with time, you and Mr. Potter will work this out for yourselves. In the meantime, Mr. Potter, I would appreciate it if you did not turn the floor into quicksand, and Miss Evans, you wouldn't try and strangle your classmates."
"Yes, sir" they both said.
"I would hate to have to fill out all that paper work if anything bad happened to either of you," he then said with a chuckle and wink.
"Now, I believe it would be best if you two returned to your dormitories and got some sleep. Good night!"
With that dismissal, Lily and James left Dumbledore's office and made their way, sleepily, back to the Gryffindor common room. When they got there, most everyone had already gone to bed. The only people who were still in the common room were the other three marauders, Sirius, Remus, and Peter, and Lily's friends Caroline, Parker, and Candace.
"Hey, there they are!" Peter said
"What happened? Are you in trouble? He didn't expel you did he? Did he-"
"Caro, settle down," Parker interrupted her, "Is everything ok, Lils?"
"Yeah, he only warned us, we didn't even get a detention," Lily told her friends, surprised herself that she's not in trouble.
"Are you serious?" Remus asked, wondering why Dumbledore didn't get them in trouble.
"Of course they aren't Sirius, I'm Sirius!" Sirius said, laughing at his own joke. Everyone else stared at him and rolled their eyes.
"That was funny the first time you said that, Padfoot, but now, being the, oh, maybe the 56,087th time, it isn't," Remus told him.
Ignoring Sirius and Remus, James said "But Evans is right, we didn't get in trouble."
"I wonder why he asked you to go up to his office, then." Remus questioned.
"It must have been this James Potter charm that catches everyone off guard," James said arrogantly. "He probably was going to punish us, then just looked at this face, and decided not to, because he wasn't worthy of punishing me!" he finished proudly.
"Oh, please, Potter, you arrogant turd! That's never stopped him before! You are the reason that Gryffindor's house points are in the negatives! And he did warn you not to trap me in the floor again." Lily said annoyed.
"So? You left out the little part about Dumbledore telling you not to strangle me anymore! That was the whole reason we were up there in the first place, Evans!"
Oh, great, here they go again! Everyone else in the room thought.
"We'll that was strictly for self defense! If you hadn't of trapped me in the floor I wouldn't have tried to strangle you!"
"Bull shit! You were trying to kill me Evans!"
"And I would of succeeded too, if Sirius hadn't of 'come to your rescue'" she said sarcastically.
"See, Moony, see! Lily agrees that I saved Prongs!" Sirius told Remus, he obviously didn't catch the sarcasm.
"Ok, this is enough!" Caroline intervened the argument. "Lily, you are coming with me, Candace, and Parker and we are going to bed! Goodnight, boys." She said.
With that she grabbed Lily's arm and took her up the stair to their dormitory.
-
As Lily walked up the stairs to her dormitory, she thought to herself, why can't Potter not be so arrogant! Arch! I hate him so much!
As they got to their dorm, Caroline said "You know, it is kinda annoying when you and James are always fighting. I mean, you're my best friend, Lily, but sometimes you tend to get out of hand."
"Yeah, well he doesn't bother you like he bothers me! You saw him taking pictures of me in the floor! The nerve he's got! I mean taking pictures, Caro. Why would he do that when he knows it will make me mad?"
"Lils does have a point. James crosses the line way too much," said Candace, who was climbing into her bed.
"I guess, but could you try and cut down on the bickering?" Caroline begged Lily.
"I guess I can try," Lily said. Lily then got in her bed, and closed her eyes. Soon she was drifting into a peaceful sleep.
-
"Urgh! Evans really gets on my case, all the time! She was trying to kill me! I mean, this is not good! How would the world survive if I was dead?"
"I have no clue," Remus said sarcastically. "But maybe if you hadn't trapped her in the floor, she would not be so angry at you." he pointed out.
"Are you kidding? That was all fun and games! You saw everyone watching us, it was amusing watching Evans!"
"Well Lily didn't appear to think it was very funny, Prongs."
"I thought it was funny." James said solemnly.
"I thought it was funny too, Prongs." Peter said loyally.
"Gee, thanks Wormtail, that makes me fell great!" James said annoyed.
"Prongsie, Prongsie, Prongsie," Sirius began. "Of course it was funny, one of the best pranks I've seen in a while! Only thing that would have made it better would've been if Evans was hanging upside down, yeah, that would have been much better!" He finished, proud of his idea.
"You think?"
"Yeah! And if she was naked! Now that, would be quite a show!" Peter giggled girlishly when Sirius said that.
"Hahaha! But really, Evans naked? I'd rather barf! Why not Christine Rockman, the 7th year Raven claw with the huge chest, now she'd hot! Or even Parker Cossman, now she's really hot!"
Remus rolled his eyes. Somehow, every conversation that James Potter and Sirius Black had always had something to do with either food, girls, or getting into trouble. But mainly girls.
"Yeah, and she's a good snogger, too, remember I went out with her last year! Or Caroline Davis, too! I'd love to see her naked, she's surprisingly one girl I haven't dated yet. "
"Yeah you're right, better add her to the lists!" James said.
"What lists?" Peter asked.
"Oh, the lists me and James made our third year of all the girls we have, and want to snog with," Sirius explained. "Mine is longer!" he bragged.
"Why can't you two just find a girl you like, not because of physical things, and go on a couple of dates with her, then ask her to be you girlfriend? Girls don't like shallow guys, Padfoot. And you two are defiantly shallow!" Remus said.
"Well that takes out the fun of it. If a girl won't snog me on the first date, the she's out!" James said.
"That's really shallow." Remus remarked.
"Yeah, so? It's not like you don't agree its fun! I mean its cute how you tell Candace you love her and take her to that stupid girly coffee shop she likes and all, but let's face it, Moony, she's H-O-double T! HOTT! I bet she snogs good too! Does she?" Sirius asked.
"Don't talk about Candace that way!" Remus said offended.
"You can't deny not liking to snog her, Moony, me and Prongs saw you two getting it on in an empty corridor last week!"
"You did?" Remus asked embarrassed. "Why were you spying on us?"
"Ah, he admits it!" James said.
"Ok, we've been going out for two years! Two years, Prongs. It's completely different than what you were talking about!" Remus was getting thoroughly bothered and embarrassed. "I'm going to bed!" he said.
"Whatever you say, Moony." Sirius said.
"I'm kinda tired too, Padfoot, lets hit the sack."
"Alright. 'Night Prongs."
"'Night Padfoot."
Then James closed his eyes, and went to sleep, too.
-
As the sun came in shining through the dormitory window by her bed, Lily woke up. She stretched and yawned, then turned over to look at her clock, then found that it was missing. As she got out of bed, she was really dizzy and couldn't see very well. And the room was a mess.
Gosh, what the hell's wrong with my eyes? She thought. And why is it so messy in here? I remember it being a little messy, since Parker is a total slob, but it looks like a hurricane hit our room!
She walked over to the wardrobe, stumbling once or twice because she couldn't see and there was junk all over, and then noticed there was a short girl with red hair standing over by the mirror.
"Excuse me, are you in the right room?" Lily asked the girl. Then the girl turned around, and Lily didn't need her vision back to know who she saw.
"AAAAHHHHH!" They both screamed.
"Evans, hush, you'll wake up Remus and Peter and Sirius!" the girl who looked exactly like Lily but couldn't be Lily because Lily was Lily said. (Author's note: If you understood that sentence with all the 'Lilys', I give you two brownie points!)
"What? That would mean I'm in a boy's room, and I'm in my dorm," Lily said.
"You're in my dorm, Evans. And you're me, and I'm you!"
What, Lily thought. What's this chick talking about, and why is she calling me 'Evans'? Only one person calls me that and that is-
She then pushed the other Lily out of the way and went to the mirror, and saw a pair of wire rimmed glasses. She put them on and looked at herself.
"POTTER? WHAT THE HELL?" she yelled.
"I said shut up! Do you want them to know?" James said.
"Sorry," Lily apologized for yelling, "What happened to us?"
"Well it looks like we are in each others bodies," he said, examining himself, "And that means I'll get to see a girl naked!" James smiled mischievously when he spoke.
"Oh no you won't!" Lily said.
Now James was feeling his new chest. "So that's what they feel like!" he said.
"James Potter, get your hands off NOW or I'll kill you!" she threatened.
"You can't do that, Evans, I'm you and you're me, so if you kill me, you'll be dead too!" he laughed.
That really got Lily angry. She didn't know what to do! How did this happen? Then she knew someone who could fix them-
"Dumbledore," she said aloud.
"What?" James asked.
"We have to go to Dumbledore! He'll fix us!"
"You're right!" he said.
Lily then grabbed James's hand and rushed out of the room to go to Dumbledore's office.
