Chapter five.
"Ja- Lily! Lily! Lily! Get out here now!" Lily yelled as she banged on the door of James' bedroom, "You should be in your bedroom!" she yelled,
There was no response.
"Lily! I have your broom out here, I'll snap it in half!" she yelled,
The door opened immediately, revealing James as Lily who was looking very pissed off.
"I am getting sick of being you." James stated plainly,
"I have a question. What happens when it is that time of the month?"
"How do you know?" James asked, "When did you find out?"
Lily as James raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
"You can't get out of it now, you have to tell me." Lily said.
"Fine!" James grumbled,
"By the way I meant what happens when my period comes."
"We'll discuss that later…" James proceeded to tell Lily about Remus' furry little problem and why they were illegal animagi.
"James! You could get caught, you could go to azkaban!" Lily shouted,
"You have to go out with Remus this month in my animagi form!" James said, ignoring what Lily had said,
"Hey guys, what's going on?" Ellie said, climbing through the portrait hole,
"We are discussing 'that time of the month'" James said,
"Oh. I know what will happen to both of you."
"How do you know about me?" James said,
"Sirius told me once when he was drunk, but only cos' apparently we are 'prank buddies' seeing as I'm
not a marauder. Lils, Emma and Kat want to know where you are and why you're spending so much time with James."
"Whatever, can we focus on the bigger problem here? What happens Ellie?"
"Well, Lily you as James will be able to transform, though he will have to teach you…"
"How do you know?" James asked,
"Well, I asked Remus to help me research it, I told him I had seen an article about it and I was thoroughly interested. Anyway, for some reason nothing will happen to James as Lily except he will get the side effects."
"I don't understand." James said worriedly,
"Basically, you won't have a period, you'll just have PMS."
"Whatever." James said,
"That's not fair! So I have to become some weird animal and fight a werewolf, and James has nothing but side-effects?" Lily complained,
"Well yeah." Ellie said,
"Oh you have no idea how much I hate you right now Potter." she hissed, before storming out,
"Bye Lily." He laughed, "She wants me."
"That's what you think James." Ellie laughed, "Come on, you have to keep up appearances with Kat and Emma."
"All right."
They climbed out the portrait hole and walked down towards the Gryffindor common room.
"You know what James?" Ellie said, "You and Lily are going to have to go out with each other, or at least pretend to."
"Really? Why?" he asked happily,
"Well, here's my theory, you're going to be Lily Evans for a month or two. As James Potter, she will be getting asked out a lot. As Lily Evans, so will you. People will start wondering why you are both turning down everybody, so you'll have to go out with each other so people won't start asking what's going on."
"Oh, yeah! Ellie you think of everything! Good idea! We will tell her later!" he said, "Come on let's see Kat and Emma!"
They entered the Gryffindor common room, to see Kat and Emma sitting down playing chess.
"Why are you playing chess?" Ellie asked, "You guys hate chess."
"Well, we were so fed up with waiting for you two to hurry up, that we decided to do this." Emma said,
"Really shows the extent of our boredom." Kat said,
"I reckon!" Ellie laughed, pushing Lily towards them,
"What do you want to do now?" Kat asked,
"I dunno." James said,
"Well, we could prank the marauders." Emma said,
"Yeah! Let's do that!" Ellie said happily, James looked uncertain, because the Marauders were his friends,
"Come on Lils, we'll make sure you don't get caught, I'll take the blame. I'll go for the detention." Ellie
said, reminding James that he had to act as Lily.
"Um, okay." He said uncertainly.
The next morning at breakfast, the Marauders came down to the Hall, and they were all wearing beanies on their heads, all of them except James.
"Oi Sirius! Take off the beanie!" Kat yelled,
"Excuse me Black, Lupin and Pettigrew, you know that these hats are not a part of the school uniform, now please remove them at once." Professor McGonagall said,
"Why didn't it work with James?" Emma asked,
"His hair is too wild, it would have grown back immediately." James said; Ellie glared at him.
"How would you know?" Kat said,
"Well, um, I have to share a dorm with James, and he shaves his head for fun just so he can watch it
grow back?" he said, thinking quickly,
"I always knew he was a strange child." Emma said, the Marauders had now removed their beanies,
revealing bald heads; all their hair was gone.
"Oh, boys what happened?" McGonagall asked, trying not to laugh, "Go up to the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey should have some hair re-growth potion for you."
