disclaimer: not mine.

Chapter three.


The next day, Lily and James were a bit more used to the fact that they were both living in another person's body. James was still having trouble getting used to the fact that he wasn't James Potter; he was Lily Evans. He kept making stupid mistakes, like calling Ellie Padfoot, or asking if they wanted to go and raid Filch's office, which was something Ellie would have willingly done, but Emma and Kat didn't want to.

"That's such a good idea!" Ellie said, they were walking through Hogsmeade, all eating chocolates from Honeydukes,

"No, I can't, my leg hurts." Emma complained,

"Why?" Kat asked,

"Because, Ellie and I were hexing the Marauders, and Sirius dead-legged me, geez I hate that guy!"

"Yeah, but I really got James good, he was twitching and screaming all night from that hex I gave him, it was so worth it, even if I did get a detention!" Ellie laughed

"Yeah, oh my god, that hurt like hell." James said,

"What? How do you know Lily?" Kat asked,

"Um, I mean… James told me." James said, making it up as he said it, Ellie raised an eyebrow, her hair flickered turquoise, it was now curly and up in two pigtails on her head.


"Anyway, what the hell are they doing?" She asked as her aqua eyes drifted over to where the

Marauders were. They were laughing at something stuck up in a tree; Ellie knew it would probably be Snivellus. The weird thing was, James was sitting on a bench a few metres away looking very annoyed as to what they were doing.

She once again raised her eyebrow. James was always the ringleader of their bullying. Ellie only ever raised her eyebrow when she was figuring things out or when she was planning a prank.

"I need to go to the book shop." Kat announced, "I need a new diary."

"I'll come." Emma said,

"Me too." James said; they were about to walk off when Ellie grabbed Lily's arm.


"Stay here Lily." She said; James tried to get free, but Ellie's grip was strong and Lily's body was rather weak, "Come with me."

"Um, okay." James said uncertainly, trying desperately to get Lily's attention, Ellie pulled James away from the bookshop and into a deserted building; they walked out the back exit and into what looked like a forest. It was snowing, but it was the middle of summer.

"What is this place?" James asked,

"A secret spot. I found it in fourth year after my mum died and my dad went mad." Ellie said,

"And why did you bring me here?" James asked; though he was pretty sure he already knew what was going on.

"Switmore James?" she asked, folding her arms,

"What? James?" he said, trying to act, but not doing so very well.

"I'm not stupid James. The others haven't guessed yet, I don't think they will. It's pretty obvious to me though."

"I don't know what you're on about."

"Come off it James. Switmore has the potential to make spirits change bodies for at least a month, maybe two if it is very strong. James, Switmore is illegal, how did you get it?"

"Slughorns storage cupboard."

"Oh my god. So I'm going to be Lily Evans for a month?"

"At least, yeah, and she's going to be you."

"Oh my god, I'm never going to manage this, they'll all see write through me, oh my god, Lily will hate me when she finds out that you know."

"Newsflash James, she probably already does."

"That's true." James said glumly, "Will you help me, please?"

"Um," she said, "Fine, but only cos I don't want Lily's reputation ruined, and you have to help me with some pranks."

"But I'm Head Girl, I could never be caught breaking the rules!" James said in a very Lily-like manner, which made Ellie laugh.

"You know James you aren't so bad." She said,

"I know; I am just misunderstood." He joked,

"Whatever. Come on they're probably looking for us." Ellie said, as they walked out of the strange little forest and back on to the main street of Hogsmeade.


"Come on James, join in! It's no fun when you're acting like a complete wet blanket!" Sirius whined,

"I am not acting like a wet blanket!" Lily said angrily, "I mean, okay fine, I'll come." Lily said, she grudgingly got up from the bench she was sitting on and walked over to James' friends.

"Let me down now!" Snape yelled from his position in the tree, a squirrel was sitting on his head and he looked very annoyed, his wand was lying on the ground not far from where Lily was standing.

"No, we're having fun." Peter said,

"Yeah, we'll let you down when you admit that you are a slimy, hook-nosed, greasy git who doesn't know what hygiene is!" Sirius yelled; Lily had to stifle a laugh at this.

"What are you laughing at Potter?" Snape snarled, "Why don't you just run along to your little mudblood girlfriend?"

"What did you call me…her?" Lily snapped,

"A mudblood."

"That's it. Infantate Illegra!" She yelled, pointing her wand directly at him, he immediately started cursing and screaming in pain, as boils sprouted all over his body.

"You son of a bitch!" Snape shouted,

"Wash your mouth out!" Lily shouted, "Scourgify!"

Pink bubbles burst from his head and his mouth, he gurgled a few words, but they couldn't understand

what he had said.

"Good work Prongsie!" Sirius said and clapped him on the back, Peter cheered and Remus just smiled a very small smile.


James and Ellie watched this happening from afar, James was amazed, "I knew she could do it!" she said happily,

"I don't believe it, is that Lily?"

"Yes, you know it is!" Ellie said, she was about to start clapping, but she restrained herself, knowing that it would be very embarrassing if she did. James however, did start to clap and cheer. Lily turned around and did a little bow to him, gave him a wink and burst out laughing.
