This is a re-post of my story I had up here…heh…ages ago that got deleted. I'm figuring I want to continue it, and hopefully it won't get deleted this time!
I'm not too sure how the first few chapters are going to turn out because…well, as I said I wrote them a long time ago. I've—well I think I have from reading my previous chapters over, anyway—gotten a bit better at writing since then…and I hope you'll agree and decide to read my fic…again, or for the first time.
I'm sorry I had abandoned a lot of you for a very insurmountable time, but I'm back now and I'm finally over my little fit about let's hope that they don't do it again!
Let's see what I can do with this, shall we?
(And yes I know, it's a dumb prank that they pull, but I wrote this a long time ago remember, and honestly, I'm no good at writing pranks. At all. Period. So it would be nice if you didn't criticise me on my pranking creativity…but if you absolutely must…then I guess I will handle it.)
Chapter One
Lily Evans was a 16-year-old witch. She had a very good friend Sara Whitmore who was also 16 and a witch (of course).
Now, this Lily Evans didn't hate many people. But the one person she did hate, was James Potter.
James's friends Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew were okay, she could handle them being around, but James was another story.
James himself didn't hate Lily—it was the complete opposite—he absolutely loved her.
…Which made Lily froth at the mouth even more at the mention of his name.
Lily Evans was sitting in an armchair one night reading up on her homework, when her friend Sara came and stood beside her.
Lily looked up. "Sara, what are you doing?" She asked
"Guess what!" Sara said grinning.
"Hmm?"
"The summer holidays are coming! Just two more days!" Sara said leaping on Lily, hugging her tightly.
"Argh!" Lily yelled when they tipped over backwards in the chair.
"Isn't it wonderful?" Sara asked sitting on Lily's stomach.
"Very. Now-get off me-please." Lily said.
"Oh come on Lils! It's the summer holiday! That means there's no work!" Sara exclaimed throwing up her hands.
"Excellent." A voice said over top of them.
They both looked up. (Or rather, Sara looked up, Lily looked around Sara's head)
"Marauders." Sara said.
"That's us." James said grinning.
Lily and Sara rolled their eyes.
"What might you girls be doing?" Sirius asked.
"Nothing that concerns you." Sara said getting off Lily.
Sirius pouted.
"Fine." He said.
"All right, I have to go talk to McGonagall about something. I'll be back in a few minutes." Sara said and walked over to the portrait.
Lily sighed as she was left with the Marauders and smiled when she saw Sara mouth 'two days' and held up two fingers as she left out of the portrait hole.
"What are you boys doing? Not pulling a prank me are you?" Lily asked.
The boys grinned.
"No, of course not." Remus said innocently.
Lily narrowed her eyes and started twirling a strand of her hair in her fingers.
She then gasped when she saw her hair. It was bright blue.
"What the hell! You stupid gits!" Lily yelled over the Marauders laughter. She glared at them, unamused. "Turn it back!"
"Oh, but where's the fun in that?" Sirius asked still chuckling.
"Argh!" Lily shouted before storming out of the common room. She needed a walk to cool herself down and maybe find a way to get her hair back to normal.
'The less time spent with the Marauders, the better.' Lily thought.
She scowled as her least favourite person ran up to her.
"Aw Lils! Don't be mad." James said. "It was just a little joke."
"Go away Potter." Lily grumbled.
"Lily! Come on, I'll change it back, here-" James turned her so she was facing him and pulled out his wand but Lily jerked his hand away.
"Don't you put that thing on me! You'll just do something worse and-" But James put a hand over her mouth and dragged her into a broom closet.
Professor McGonagall had rounded a corner, and since it was past their curfew, they'd get a hell of a punishment if they were caught out of bed.
"Potter!" Lily shouted trying to push him off of her.
"Shh!" James whispered urgently.
"James-ouch-there's a broom poking me in the back...thanks." Lily added when James moved the broom.
He was still holding onto it while they heard McGonagall pass them.
They looked at each other and noticed how the broom closet was making them be very close together. A little too close for Lily.
James leaned in quickly, doing what he wanted to do for a long time...their lips met just briefly before Lily pushed him off of her in disgust.
A weird feeling went through their stomachs before they fell out of the closet into a heap on the ground.
"What the-Lily, James what were you doing in a closet?"
"Sara-I-whoa. Wait a minute." Lily said but it wasn't her voice she heard; it was deeper, and she had to look down at Sara when she stood up.
Sara raised an eyebrow at her, giving her a strange look before she turned to…Lily.
"Lily, we really should go to bed, we've got to get up early and pack remember?" Sara said.
"But-I'm not Lily." The other Lily said in confusion.
Sara raised an eyebrow.
"Um, all right then." She said looking at the other Lily like she'd just grew another head.
A thought just occurred to the original Lily. She looked at her hands and attire and it confirmed her thoughts.
Her and James had switched bodies.
Her and James had switched bodies.
Lily reached up and touched her nose where a pair of glasses was perched.
Yep, they'd switched all right.
Lily turned to the other Lily who was James and they both looked at each other in horror.
"OK, what's going on?" Sara asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"Lily?" The other Lily (James asked).
"James?" Lily croaked.
"Uhh..." Sara said taking a step back.
"No hold on, I think me and Lily changed bodies." James said squinting his eyes at Lily.
Sara's eyes were wide and she looked back and forth between the two.
"Really, how'd that happen?" She asked in disbelief.
"Don't know exactly." James said looking at Lily as if they were talking about the weather.
"Might've been the broom." Lily said. Her voice was weak and she was trembling.
"But I was holding it before." James said, obviously not fazed.
"Yeah, but then you kissed me and-" Lily was cut off by Sara.
"Wait whoa." Sara said holding up her hands. "So you guys kissed and switched bodies?"
"Seems like it." James said.
"You kissed him?" Sara asked in disbelief, gaping at Lily.
"What-no! He kissed me! I had no say in it!" Lily said angrily, clenching her fists and James scowled at her.
Sara bit the inside of her cheek and thought.
"Okay…so that means I'm bunking with a guy now? But, in a girls body?" She asked.
"Seems like it." James repeated.
Sara smacked her forehead with her hand. "Great."
"I'm bunking with a bunch of guys in a guy's body." Lily said.
"Oh, and you're the unlucky one." Sara said scowling.
Lily grinned. "That is lucky isn't it."
"Hey! Don't get any ideas! I can't let you go snogging my friends in my body! That'll ruin my reputation and everyone will think I'm gay!" James exclaimed angrily.
"Don't worry James. I would never do anything to ruin your reputation." Lily said sarcastically.
"I'm in your body too remember! I can ruin your reputation as well." James said.
Lily gave him a look that plainly said 'I don't really care'.
James sighed. "Please Lily?" He said pouting.
"Aw, I look so cute when I pout!" Lily said smiling. "Fine, I just can't resist my face."
"Um, problem." Sara butted in, holding up a finger.
"What?" They both asked.
"What're we going to do about the summer holidays?" Sara asked.
"Shit." James mumbled.
"I can always invite you over. Er, you can always invite me over to my house is what I mean." Lily said.
"How come we can't stay at my house?" James asked.
"Well, see. That's the thing. We can't stay at my house the entire summer so we'll rotate." Lily said.
"Hey, I've got to be invited too. I'm not spending my summer alone." Sara said frowning.
"Yeah yeah, just don't expect to be invited to my house." James said.
"You mean my house now. I'm inviting her." Lily said.
James scowled. "Fine, but I'm not inviting her over to my house then."
"Oh Merlin…I'm so confused." Sara mumbled putting her hand to her forehead. "Maybe I don't want to be invited if this is how the summer is going to be…"
"She's going to be invited, my mum'll invite her! She's good friends with Sara's mother." Lily said ignoring Sara.
James sighed and crossed his arms over his chest. "Fine! But you have to invite my friends over too!"
"Fine!" Lily said.
"Now, shake on it." Sara said coming back into the conversation.
Lily and James shook hands each gripping the other's hand hard.
"Now, can we please get back to the common room? It is after curfew..." Sara said looking at her watch.
"Yeah," Lily and James said simultaneously which made them scowl.
------
"WAIT!" Lily yelled just as Sara and James were about to head up to the girls dormitory.
"What?" James whispered anxiously to her when a few people left in the common room looked over at them.
"You better not touch me in any sick minded way or else I'm going to kick your arse!" Lily growled. "Just because you get to see me naked doesn't mean you get to feel me."
James sighed. "Aw, I was looking forward to that."
Lily scowled and stepped closer to him, towering over him.
"All right all right! Same goes for you too." James said frowning and taking a step back. "Yeesh."
"Like I'd ever touch you." Lily snarled and stormed off up to the boys' dormitories.
James rolled his eyes before her turned to Sara and grinned.
"Does this mean I get to watch you change?" He asked Sara.
Sara frowned.
"No you git." She said and went up to the girls dormitories.
"Oh well. I tried." James mumbled following her.
Well that was it. Just the beginning.
Short yes, but it'll get longer...eventually.
Review please!
