CHAPTER 2

Ready Or Not Here I Come

"Who's the boy Evans was talking about?" asked a very angry and pissed off James Potter turning towards his friends, the remaining Marauders, and especially towards Remus.

"I don't know this one, seriously", replied a tired Remus.

"But you must be knowing, you're her friend!" said James, crestfallen.

"But I promise Prongs, I don't know this time", replied Remus.

"Well then we know what to do, don't we?" said James, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"And what exactly do we know?" asked a very confused Sirius.

"We are going to…………"

And the rest as we say is history.

"Lils, that was a mean thing to say" said Jennifer, "You know how much he likes you".

"Well he's got a weird way of showing it then and what's he going to do anyway. Well here is my destination, see you later, Bye!" said a chirpy Lily, happy to have made James unhappy, and went inside the hospital wing.

"Oh, come on Jen! Live a little", said Kate (Katrina) and linked her arms with those of her best friends and started walking ahead, "anyways what's going on with Mr. Thomas these days?" she asked Jen, winking at her.

"Oh, nothing he's a great guy", replied a blushing Jennifer, forgetting all about feeling bad for James. Andrew Thomas was Jen's boyfriend of 2 months and thus very special to her.

"I am sure he is," said Amy, happy for her friend.

And they walked off to their classes, talking about classes, boys, the endless battle between James and Lily, boys, the mischievous Marauders, boys, music, boys, and movies and did I mention 'boys'.

The girls entered the Great Hall for lunch with Lily, who was now dots free and back to her original self, and sat at their usual spot at the Gryffindor table.

But wait a second; something was wrong, awfully wrong. There were just girls in the Hall and not just the usual number but instead a lot more and the only boys visible in this girl crowd were the marauders and Andrew Thomas.

"Holy Shit!" whispered Amy, understanding at once what had triggered off this unusual site.

The teachers gaped and the Marauders sat down at their spot as if everything was normal and the girls were frozen to the spot (I am talking about all the normal girl) while the other not so normal girls didn't seem to know what had happened and were not aware of their apparent sex change.

"Now Evans dear, are you ready for your 'big date'?" asked a gleeful James.

"Potter change them back at once" yelled Lily.

" No can do" said Sirius carelessly stuffing a piece of roasted chicken into his mouth.

"What-do-you-mean?" asked a thunderous Lily, all in one breath.

"Well the potion doesn't wear off for the next three days," said James, pouring himself a goblet of pumpkin juice.

"You…" spitted out Lily and lunged at James but was stopped by Kate.

"Well, why wasn't Andrew changed then?" asked Kate, struggling to keep Lily away from James.

"We knew that Evans wouldn't go on a date with her friend's guy, so here you go", said Sirius, looking up at Kate and nodding towards Jen.

"Come on Lily, let's eat" said Jen, serving herself and sitting next to Andy.

"She's right. Lily, sit down and enjoy the meal," said Amy, sitting down next to Jen.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, Me. Lupin and Mr. Pettigrew 30 points from Gryffindor per person and 4 detentions with Mr. Filch starting tomorrow. Mr. Potter I see you have secured double detentions and for that I cannot help you. So enjoy your double detentions." Said Prof. McGonagall from the teacher's table.

The next week, exams were starting for the stressed sixth years and Lily and her friends plus Remus along with other students could be seen studying hard but the other three members of the Marauders group were not paying the much attention to the books because as far as James and Sirius were concerned, they didn't need to hit the books that hard to achieve an O in every subject and as far as Peter was concerned, he knew that even if he did study he would have to ultimately resolve to 'looking here and looking there' in other words, cheating and plus he always used to do whatever James and Sirius did as they were comparatively more popular than Remus.

Exams came and went and everyone was happy with their performance except some students including Peter.

Now came the day of leaving Hogwarts for the summer break and meeting their respective families after nearly one year.

Lily and her friends decided to write to each other and be in constant contact as all of them were going somewhere or the other during the break and couldn't meet each other.

This summer was special to everyone in the same way as every summer is; they were all looking forward to meet their families after such a long time and spending some time together as a family but this summer was especially special to Jennifer and Andrew as they both were spending half their summers at each other's house and with each other's family. For the first half Andrew was staying with Jennifer at her place with her family and for the second half Jennifer was staying at Andrew's with his family. Therefore, both of them were pretty nervous and at the same time pretty excited too.

On the other hand, James and Sirius were staying at James's house as they did last year when Sirius had left his place for good and had been given shelter by Mr. and Mrs. Potter and by the whole Potter family. He had been adopted as sort of a son and had became a part of the family, therefore they just had to write to Remus, who may even visit and stay with them in the later half of the summer, and to Peter, who's mother wanted him to herself all summer.
