Two of a Kind.
Disclaimer: I own nothing found in Harry Potter.
A/N: I have decided when Lily and James are going to fall in love with each other again. Just to tell you all. Sorry it took so long to write more on my story but I was on holidays and then I had assignments to finish. To make a long story short, I've been busy.
Hope you like this chapter.
Bye.

Chapter 7: Reaching Hogwarts.
Previously on Two of a Kind:
"Ok." Lily answered walking over to a door. "James I think I found something."
"Well then let's go inside." James answered.
The two walked inside the compartment only to have the door slam behind them and be locked from the outside only.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"What just happened then?" Lily asked James as she turned around to look at the door that was now closed.
"I have no idea." James replied trying to open the door. "But my guess is that someone, not naming anyone 'Sirius', locked us in here for some reason."
"Ok, whatever the reason is we'll find out later. But I did see something in here so can we just look." Lily pleaded with James.
"Fine but I don't think it will be Peter. He was probably in on this little joke of their's." James complained as they walk further into the compartment. (A/N: I have never imagined the compartments to be like the ones in the movies. I always thought they were bigger and the 3rd book gives me that idea.)
They walked a bit more until Lily saw a foot hanging over the edge of a seat.
"James, James look there." Lily said pointing to the foot. "It looks like someone is sleeping."
"Great, we're stuck in a compartment with no food, nothing to do and a sleeping person. Fun." James replied grumpily.
"This is no better for me either." Lily said back.
"Yeah, but I have friends to kill and at the moment they are outside the compartment." James said through gritted teeth.
"I bet you anything Holly was in on it too." Lily told him.
"Yes well I'm not going to go along with that bet because I know you'll win." James replied.
"What you afraid on what I might bet you of?" Lily asked.
"No, just that you'll win and I never take bet I know someone else will or might win." James answered.
"Would you two shut up and leave me alone?" A voice asked them rudely from behind the chair.
James knew this voice straight away because he had heard it so many times before.
"Sorry Snivellus but that can't be done. You see we have been locked in here and Lily and I don't have our wands."
"Well lucky I do." Snape replied coming over that seat and pointing it at James. "This is going to be good. You are utterly defenceless against me and I have the upper hand."
Lily took no time in devising her plan she just ran up to Snape, kicked his shins, grabbed his wand, grabbed James and ran to the door.
"Lily you can't use his wand. It might backfire on you." James said as she pulled him to the door.
"I'm not going to use it. I'm just making sure he can't use it on us while we yell at our friends to get us out of here." Lily informed him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sirius and Remus pushed the door shut quickly and charmed it so it can only be open from this outside or by a wand.
"Now what do we do?" Holly asked them.
"Wait until we hear laughter or something happens to show they are ok with each other?" Remus replied.
"What if nothing happens? What if they still hate each other and rip each others heads off?" Holly asked.
"That's not likely to happen, is it?" Remus asked her.
I suppose not. But if it does will you let them out or are you going to leave them in there to die at each other's hands?" Holly asked dramatically
"You over react too much Holly." Sirius said looking through the door to see what was happening. "I can't see them anymore, maybe they're snoging?"
"Maybe. Or maybe they're just talking with each other?" Remus replied.
"No wait, here they come. Lily's pulling James. She has a wand. How did she get her wand?" Sirius asked everyone turning around to face them.
"I don't know, but maybe you should turn around and keep watch." Holly said pointing at the door again.
"Good idea." Sirius stated.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ok, all we have to do is scream as loud as we can to show that Snape is in here with us and then they'll let us out." Lily explained to James as they reached the door of the compartment.
"Or, we could just yell. Because I'm not sure the rest of the train needs to know that we want to kill the rest of the marauders. We'd have half the population of the school after us." James informed Lily.
"You're right. Holly please let me out or send us James or my wands so we can get rid of Snape for a few minutes." Lily yelled at the door. She could see everyone out there waving at them but they weren't moving towards the door to help them.
"Not working let me try. Sirius and Remus are prone to the word Snape. Padfoot, Moony Snivellus is in here and we have his wand. We need you to give us one of our wands or let us out before he kills us himself." James yelled out the door.
"Are they moving?" Lily asked
"No, well not towards us but by the looks of things, Remus is trying to explain to Sirius what will happen to us if we are still stuck in the train with Snape for a while longer." James interpreted for her.
"Would you kindly give me back my wand?" Snape said form behind them.
"And what would happen if we didn't?" James asked.
"I wasn't talking to you I was talking to the mudblood." Snape replied as though he had said the most dirties word in the world.
"You take that back right now or you'll be sorry." James said
"What will you do? Use my wand against me? What if it back firers?" Snape said in a fake concerned voice
James took no time to reply with a good comeback. He just walked straight up to Snape and punched him.
-------------------------------------------------
"What do you mean Snivellus is in there with them?" Sirius said pointing at the door.
"Just go look Sirius and then maybe you'll believe us and them." Holly said tired of trying to explain what was happening.
Sirius walked up to the door confused at what was going on and about what he might see.
"Why that little Slytherin. James punched him, and he punched James back." Sirius informed the others.
"Now what's happening?" Remus asked concerned for the safety of James and Lily.
"Snivellus ran around James while he was holding his face to get away from him. No, wait, little Snivy's got hold of Lily and is using her as hostage." Sirius told them.
"Just open the door Sirius." Both Remus and Holly yelled at him.
"Yeah, well you see, there's a little problem with that." Sirius told them.
"What's that?" Remus asked.
"I kind of forgot what the reversal spell was." Sirius said in a low whisper.
"Oh for heavens- Just pick the damn lock." Holly screamed at him.
"Good idea. I didn't think of that one." Sirius said
"Obviously." Remus said to Holly.
Sirius got the door open in time to see James kick Snape and have him drop Lily.
"James, Lily move." Sirius screamed before he screamed Stupify.
Snape lay there unconscious while everyone looked on.
"Never again am I doing a favour for you guys. I'm never looking for a lost Peter, because we never found him. And never again do I want to be stuck in a compartment with that disgusting thing." Lily stated to her friends. "And Holly, remind me to kill you later on. Ok?"
Holly just nodded as Lily walked back to their compartment muttering something about having one hundred showers tonight.
The others said nothing as they walked back to the compartment.
"Wait we left Snivellus back there. If someone finds him like that, you know who they will blame." Holly said.
"Yeah, I'll go back and make sure no one comes in and that he wakes up with no memory of this when we get to Hogwarts." Remus said as he walked back towards the compartment they just left.
"Well this was an exciting train ride home." Sirius said. He received several hits from Holly and one giant smack for James. 'I think I deserved that.' He thought to himself.
The rest of the train ride went quickly because no one was talking to each other. Lily sat down to read a muggle book she had bought over the summer (she buys many muggle books to keep her mind sane), Holly played a few games of chess with Remus, Sirius and James devised a few pranks for the up-coming year, and Peter daydreamed that someone might love him. (A/N: NEVER!)
