Chapter thirteen


"Lily, stop stressing!" Ellie yelled,

"No! I only have one hour until I have to go! I am so going to stuff this up!" she cried as she paced James' bedroom, Ellie was sitting in an armchair, and James was lying on the bed,

"Lils, my family are very relaxed, except for my Uncle Bingo, but don't worry about him." James said reassuringly, Ellie looked at her watch,

"Oh shit, it's almost nine, if I'm not back in bed by then Emma and Kat will know something's up." She said,

"Why?" James asked,

"Because Ellie never wakes up before eight on school days and before eleven on weekends." Lily explained,

"Yeah, this whole switch thing has screwed up my body clock, so you better be grateful."

"We are." James reminded her,

"Okay, see you in a while." Ellie said as she quickly walked out the door, then she took out her wand and muttered 'Roma Taplasso,' before she walked back to her dorm.


"Lily, don't worry, they won't find out." James said,

"But what if they do?"

"They won't."

"What about my parents? What if they find out that some strange boy is living in my body?"

"You calling me strange?"

"No, but to them, you're a stranger."

"But I'm not a stranger to you, am I?"

"No."

"Then it doesn't matter. Anyway, they won't find out. Neither family will find out."

"Thanks James." She said,

"You're welcome."

"I know I've been a bit of a head case lately," Lily sighed, "I'm sorry."

"You're just worried, and sick of being me." James said,

'That's true." Lily said, James put Lily's arms around her and hugged her tight, "You'll be fine, trust me." he murmured. She looked down at him, straight into the emerald eyes that were shining brightly; she leant in and kissed him right on the lips.

"I'm sorry, James. I'm all messed up right…" but she was interrupted by another kiss.


"Is Ellie awake yet?" Kat asked,

"Nope." Emma said, "she won't wake for a while."

"Well, if she doesn't, she's not going to get to say goodbye to James, Lily and Peter."

"Yeah, give her ten minutes, then we'll wake her." Emma said, folding her pajamas and placing them on the edge of her bed,

"What about Sirius? Doesn't he normally go to James' for Christmas?"

"Yeah but he wants to spend it with his new girlfriend." She said,

"How do you know?"

"He told me." Emma said, pulling out some parchment and trying to work,

"Oh. Do you know who it is?"

"Yes, and I'm not telling."

"Is it Ellie?" Kat asked,

"No."

"Who is Ellie going out with at the moment?"

"No one."

"She's kind of got something else going on, she's so secretive. Do you know what's up with her?"

"No clue."

"I got an idea." Kat said suddenly,

"What?" Emma said, half-mindedly, she was trying to do her homework, but she wasn't getting much done,

"Well, you know how Remus is sort of infatuated with her."

"He does have a crush."

"Well, I reckon they would make a good couple. We should set them up in some way."

"Yeah, but how are we going to get her to go along with it?"

"I dunno; that's what magic is for."

"True, good point."

"Brown birds and red birds and yellow birds." Ellie murmured in her sleep, "All lay eggs. And they taste good."

Emma and Kat turned towards her and burst out laughing, "Shh, we don't want to wake the brown bird." Kat said, "She's dreaming,"

Then Ellie screamed, making them jump, "Mum! Don't leave me! Dad don't go! Please stay!"

"She's having a nightmare." Kat said,

"About her parents." Emma added,

"Yeah, we better wake her." Kat said, as Ellie started to sing, in her sleep,

"Would you know my name, if I saw you in heaven?" her voice wasn't bad, just kind of groggy seeing as she wasasleep,"Would you feel the same, if I saw you in heaven? I must be strong and carry on, cause I know I don't belong here in heaven…woah, what's with that big white thingy?"

"Not bad, I didn't know it was possible to sing in your sleep." Emma said,

"I guess it is. My dad always says that I do, but he's crazy, he actually thinks he doesn't snore." Kat laughed

"No!" Ellie screamed again,

"Okay, I'm waking her." Emma said, shaking Ellie trying to wake her. Her eyes shot open, and rolled back into her head, causing Emma to yell,

"Eurgh, it's too early. I'm tired." She grumbled

"Ellie, Lily and James are leaving soon." Kat told her; Ellie sat up immediately,

"I'm up! I'm up!"

"Good!" Kat said, "I love that song, by the way."

"Which song?"

"Tears in heaven."

"What?"


"Bye guys!" James said as he hugged each one of his friends, trying to be as Lily-like as he could, "I'll see you in a week."

"Yeah, Seeya later." Lily said, "Come on, Lils, we gotta get the train now."

"Bye Everyone!" Peter said, trying to hug everyone, and failing, because everyone backed away and offered him his or her hand to shake.

The final whistle blew and everyone started boarding the Hogwarts Express.

"Let's go. Bye again!" Lily said, as she put her arm around herself/James.

They all said bye as Lily, James and Peter got on the train, then they watched the train slowly disappear between the mountains, before walking back to Hogsmeade.
