This is an incredibly amusing piece. I like how you show Peter's acting ability. And how James fails at being Peter in Transfiguration. And all the hinting at R/S. And the James!Remus/Lily bit.

It could've been very confusing as to who was who (especially at the beginning), but you did a great job making that clear.

I wonder what Remus!Sirius was doing in the Prefects bathroom... *smirk*

Thanks so much for your beta help. You are a champion. A very kind and helpful champion. xx
(Tee hee, vague R/S allows the imagination to run wild...)

“Er, Moony! Is here. Being me. That is.”

Oh man, that made me snarf my tea. Really cute, in the best way. Nicely done, great concept, and well played.

[huntingsnarks]

Cheers! Had way too much fun with it. XD Thanks for reading!

I really wish I'd written this. Lame as that sounds, it's true!

Oh, this is fantastic. I've ready body-switching stories before, but yours totally takes the cake in that your characters are so spot on. I suppose that's the trick of body-switching tales: you have to really make sure that their personalities shine through since their bodies are all different. (That sounded confusing, but you know what I mean.)

And it was so funny! Again, I just want to quote the whole thing back. “Fine,” grunted a voice that didn’t belong to James at all, but to Peter - and all at once, the room erupted into pandemonium. Or at least that’s how it sounded to Remus, who would have given a great deal of chocolate for the use of his eyes. Next thing he knew, Peter’s stocky body had launched itself onto his bed with an enormous creaking of the bedposts, and his face was being pinched and pulled at with all the enthusiasm of a mad old aunt.

and this:

“What in the name of…” Sirius started in horror, transfixed by the sight before them. “What have you done

You're too kind, really, but I'm so glad you enjoyed the story! I'm especially thrilled you thought the characterisations worked. I had my fingers crossed that it wouldn't all be too confusing. So thanks muchly for reading it and leaving such lovely comments!

I like this. It really made me laugh. I'm not even sure which boys' reaction I like best, though possibly Peter, who is clearly taking full advantage with the "why question it?" It's too funny if he did plan it--devious bastard.

[huntingsnarks]

Thanks! My favourite reaction was Sirius', the naughty thing - but I thought Peter played his role fairly well, too. :D So glad you enjoyed the story.

Hahaha, this was great! I had to make myself a little chart of who was who to keep them straight, but once I had that down, their reactions and behaviour was really well in character. And I bet James is in for a surprise the next time he does Prefect rounds with Lily!

[huntingsnarks]

Poor James. XD I made myself a little character list while writing it - glad it worked for you too! Thanks for reading the story.
