'LIKE I WOULD WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU ANYWAY YOU ARE NOT EVEN SPECIAL LIKE YOU SEEM TO THINK, YOU ARE SOOOOO STUCK UP YOUR OWN ARSE THAT I LOVE YOU!'

'AND I LOVE YOU TOO!'

The whole common room was shocked into silence as they started kissing, they only stopped when head boy Frank Longbottom coughed indicating that they were in a room full of people, they broke a way embarrassed and looked around the room, while the plan had worked, everyone was shocked and staring, the thought they had another couple like James and Lily for a moment there, but they had been tricked, they expected nothing less off of a Marauder, but a new student, they obviously knew nothing about her as she was a Marauder at heart.

The next morning Joanne woke up coughing up blood, she knew what was wrong with her and knew she would have to some time tell Lily and Sirius, but she wanted some happiness before she told them.

The next day Jo already had an idea for a prank, she just needed to research for it, she went to the library and got out a couple of books on charms and went back to the common room to read them, when the Marauders and Lily came over she shut the books and gave Sirius a welcome kissed and hugged the others, just as she sat down she started coughing into her sleeve, when she moved her arm away they saw blood. Jo quickly cleaned it up, but they had already seen and started asking questions

'Hunni, you need the hospital wing.' Lily told her.

'Why is there blood?' Sirius and James asked.

'You do know it's bad to cough up blood?' Remus asked.

'No Lils I am fine, I have something to tell you guys, but I don't want to do it yet, it will explain why I am coughing up blood, and yes I know its bad.' Jo answered.

'Please tell us?' Sirius asked worried

'Yes please' Lily said

'I don't want you to be worried, I am fine' Jo lied, but they all could tell.

'You are not fine, come with us, we will take you to the RoR, we will be in private and you can tell us, I don't want to lose you and coughing up blood is a really bad sign.' Sirius told her, leaving no way for her to say no.

'Fine.' Jo answered defeated, she was scared to tell them but they deserved to know.

They reached the Room of Requirements and Sirius walked in front of the wall 3 times thinking we need a place to talk privately. A door appeared and they all walked through it before the door disappeared on the outside, but remained on the inside for them to get out.

'So why were you coughing up blood?' Sirius asked

'Have you heard of cancer? It is mostly a muggle illness, but wizards and witches can get it to but it is incredibly rare. I got terminal cancer when I was 3, my Mum cast a spell which would stop the cancer from developing as long as she was alive, but now that she is dead, the cancer is starting to develop again, and all in all, I am going to die, don't know how long I have, but guessing over a year.' Jo told them, they were all stunned into silence, Sirius recovered first and went over and gave her a hug and kiss, her loved her, he didn't want to lose her, Lily was the next to recover from the shock and started crying and went over and hugged Jo, the rest all went over and they had a group hug.

The next couple of days everyone noticed the peace and quiet and knew something was up with the Marauders, the would have usually done a couple of pranks by now but the seemed subdued, like something was bothering them, even the teachers noticed and wondered what had happened, they would know if someone had died, right? What they did not expect was someone new to pull a prank on the whole school, a different type of prank to the Marauders, more thought seemed to have gone into it.

Everyone sat down for breakfast, they started eating, after a few seconds everyone but Jo turned into a frog, Jo ducked under the table so the teachers wouldn't know it was her who pulled the prank, a few minutes later everyone turned back and Jo got out from under the table, the Marauders were laughing after they realised who pulled the prank, they all looked at each other and agreed, Jo was in. Professor McGonagall came storming down from the head table towards the Marauder Boys, by now everyone except the Slytherins were laughing, even the teachers were chuckling.

'Marauders, detention, all of you, I expected better of you Mr Lupin, being prefect and all

'But it wasn't us Professor, it was the newest Marauder.' James answered grinning.

'Oh God not another prankster,' McGonagall moaned, 'Who is it?'

'Now that would be telling Professor.' Sirius grinned

'It was me professor, the only girl in the Marauders, Miss BlackPaw.' Jo stood up and said.

'Detention for a week, what a poor start Miss Cook, I expect better for you, than to become a prankster.' 'Hey.' You will report to me every night at 8, now off to class everyone.' Professor McGonagall told them all.

'Great prank, you are officially a Marauder.' Remus told her on the way to class.

'That's good or that speech would have been pointless.' Jo laughed

'Love you even more Joey.' Sirius said

'Love you too Siri.' Jo answered back.

Halloween came and Jo had something to tell Siri.

'Siri, I am ready.'

'Ready?'

'I want to make love to you.'

'Really?'

'Yeah'

They spent the night making love in the Room of Requirements.

The next morning they wok up spooned together when Jo realised that they hadn't used a protection, she sat straight up panicking as Sirius woke up.

'What's wrong baby?' Siri asked

'We didn't use a condom or a contraceptive spell.' Jo answered panicking, that woke Siri up.

'What, you think that you may be pregnant?'

'Uh huh.'

'Merde.'

'Yep.'

'Lets go to Hogsmeade and get a pregnancy testing kit from the potions shop, we will have to disguise ourselves, I understand that you need to know so we will take the passage behind the one eyed witch statue, if we go now we will only miss divination. Come on babe lets get dressed. I love you.'

'Ok, love you too.'

They got changed and walked to the one eyed witch statue, Siri muttered the password and they both slipped down the passage. Siri turned to Jo and muttered a spell changing her appearance and making her look older. Jo did the same to Siri. Jo had shoulder length black hair, grey eyes, and was a bit taller, Siri had short spiky ginger hair and blue eyes, they looked nothing like there usual selves and that was good as they wanted no one to know if Jo was pregnant. They made their way through the tunnel and when they reach the end the slipped up into the shop and blended in, Siri buying Jos favourite candy before leaving and heading to the potion shop, once inside, Siri asked for a pregnancy testing potion and they headed back to Honeydukes sweet shop they slip back downstairs and back to Hogwarts. They headed back to the Room of Requirements for some privacy.

In the room there was a bathroom and a bedroom,

'Do you want me to come in with you?' Siri asked

'Yes please.' Jo whispered, scared of the result.

'Ok baby'

They went into the bathroom and Jo came out after 5 minutes crying, she went to the bed and curled up into a ball, Siri following her holding her hand whispering that he would be there for her no matter what, slowly she uncurled herself and looked at Siri

'Our baby is going to grow up without a mum, I hate life it must hate me.' Jo said crying.

'Baby, it will have you as long as you live for and then it will have me, who promises to look after it, no matter what, protect it from everything bad, tell it stories all about its mummy who loves it very much, and you will always be there in spirit.' Siri told her trying not to cry.

'But what if I died before it is born, you would be destroyed, I don't want to do that to you, I love you too much, and what if it don't love me, it hates that I died while it is young, then what? What if you forget about me?'

'You won't die before the baby is born, you are too stubborn to do that, it will love you who wouldn't? And I will never forget you, I love you way too much to ever forget you.

'We are having a baby?' Jo asked, smiling slightly

'Yeah, we are.' Siri said smiling back.

They rushed down to potions, hoping the wouldn't be late, they were lucky they got there early, but only the Slytherins were there at that time, including Bellatrix Black, Severus Snape, Avery, Mulciber. Bellatrix laughed as she saw them approach, she was going to make that blood traitor pay.

'Oh, look who it is, if it isn't the blood traitor and his mudblood girlfriend, why so happy, I know this will make you sad' She laughed evilly, 'Cruico' pointing her wand at Jo, Siri ran in front of her and took the curse. Jo screams matched Siri's as she saw him writher in pain.
