switch bodies, but why?

"Good morning, cutie" James smiled standing over Sirius's bed. "The world says hello again!"

"James, get away from me, you stink" Sirius sighed and threw a pillow at his friend "Seriously, I don't know how you get up for these morning workouts"

"Seriously you say?"

"James, don't. Don't make that joke. I'm not in a mood."

"Yes, I see, brother. We'll talk about it in a moment, I'm going to take a shower, so get dressed and we'll go down for breakfast together. Moons and Wormy just left." James said and headed towards the bathroom.

Sirius followed him with his eyes until he closed the door. Sirius then got out of bed, stretching a bit. Why does his head hurt so much? Ah, right, he wonders if he's in love with one of his best friends.

"So? Are you going to tell me what were you talking about with the girls?" James asked when he finally emerged from the bathroom.

"Nothing special, you know, Marlene's crush, Lily's project. I let them paint my nails, do you think Moony will be upset? Or did you know Marlene is queer? She said she likes Dorcas."

"Yes, I knew it. Didn't you? Is something wrong with it?"

"No, of course not. Dorcas is great. I just didn't expect it. I didn't know there were queer people at Hogwarts."

"Sirius, really? You literally surround yourself with queer people. Like me, Pandora and Barty, Emmeline, your brother Regulus, Remus-"

"Wait! Remus is queer? And you? Aren't you madly in love with Evans?" Sirius had so many questions.

"Of course I am, but not because she's a girl. I love Lily in every universe, regardless of who or what she is. But I find boys attractive too, maybe if it weren't for my love for Lily, I would even try with one."

"And... Remus?"

"Ah, yes, he never really admitted it, but I'm almost sure he's gay" Sirius didn't know how to answer that, honestly this conversation was making him more and more confused. "But let's get back to Lily, my dear friend. Have you asked her about me?"

"I asked about you, of course I did. Don't smile like that, you look stupid. So, actually, earlier Evans thought you were joking, then she didn't want to go out with you because of Snivellus. She said something about not wanting to upset him."

"Ugh, Snivellus, I knew it was his fault too." sighed James " But why did you come yesterday night... the way you came back?

"I just... you know what? I really don't want to talk about it. I have too many thoughts in my head and I need to sort them out."

“Okay, but remember,” James put a hand on his shoulder, “I'm always here for you.

Sirius didn't want to admit it but he had been ignoring Remus all day.

He just thought about Marlene's words every time he interacted with this man. And he didn't want to think about them.

So after classes, which he somehow survived, he went to the library instead of staying and fooling around with his friends in the dormitory. He told them he was going there to keep up the appearance of being Remus.

He could finally breathe for a moment without having to analyze his feelings. He could- no. He couldn't, because a group of Hufflepuff girls that decided to join him. Sirius was pretty sure they were in their 4th year.

When all five of them stopped above him, he lazily raised his eyes and then his eyebrow. One of them giggled at this gesture, but after a while it caused the other to hit her elbow.

"Hey, we were wondering if you could pass us a book? Since you're so tall, surely you can reach that high?" one of them asked, trying to hide a big smile.

"I think I can do it" Sirius said and stood up "Which book is it?"

"This one here. With the purple cover" Sirius handed them the book and then moved to sit back at the desk. However, the girls were still standing over him. He wanted to ignore them, but the minutes passed and they were still standing over him.

"Do you need anything else?"

"Yes, we need you" said the blonde.

"Charlotte! Don't listen to her, we just... have to stand here" replied the redhead in the front.

"You have to?"

"Yes, we...we have to"

"May I ask why?"

"Because you're so hot" the same blonde said again.

"Charlotte!" the rest shouted at her.

"You know what, girls? I have to go." Sirius got up from the table, the girls made him laugh a bit, but he had had enough of that day and thinking about Remus being hot was... it was.

"You see Charlotte, it's your fault!" he heard it when he left the girls, out of the corner of his eye he saw Charlotte being hit in the head with a purple book by her friend.

Unfortunately, on his way back from the library, Sirius came across a person he really didn't want to see at that moment. In fact, he didn't want to see this person ever again.

"How do you feel in your new body, Black?" he heard from behind him. Right, Snape knew that they switched bodies. Snape knew, because he was the reason they switched bodies in the first place.

"Snivellus I'm not in the mood for your childish games"

"Oh, I see. If I ended up in such a disgusting body, I wouldn't be in the mood to do anything either." Snape smiled, Sirius at that moment pulled out his wand and aimed it at Snape's throat. "it's not that yours is any better but-"

"One more word, Snivellus" Sirius threatened "One more word and I'll end you right now, and that's what I'm always in the mood for."

That disgusting Snivellus. Dumbledore should have kicked him out of school a long time ago.

"Don't think about it, Pads. It's Snivellus. It's not like anyone should care about what he says," Pete replied to Sirius's situation from a few minutes ago.

"I know Pete, it just annoys me that this guy can do whatever he wants and not face any consequences."

"You know what?" Remus finally spoke "There's something we need to talk about" Sirius saw that Remus wanted to bring up a certain topic from the beginning of the conversation but he probably didn't know how.

"What is it, Moony?" James asked.

"I was just thinking about... all this, and... The full moon is in a week and the antidote to our body swap will be ready in two."

"Oh, I didn't think about it that way," Sirius frowned, "But what will it look like? Will you turn into a werewolf in my body or I in yours? We'll have to ask Madam Pomfrey because-"

"I already did, actually. I've been wondering about it since the day it started so I went to her today to ask." Remus interrupted him "She said something about it not being my soul that is sick, I don't know, she used nice words. Anyway, It's you who will transform in my body, Sirius" said Remus, looking pale as if he had just realized exactly what that meant.
