Sirius POV
Remus and I were just talking about our time at Hogwarts while eating breakfast when Molly walked out of the fire place.

"Good morning Molly, everything alright?" Remus asked. I looked at Molly and gestured for her to sit down.
"Thank you Sirius. Now I'm here because the kids are worried about Jane."
The moment she said my daughter's name I sat up straight.
" What's going on with her?" I asked her. I hadn't spoken to Jane since our fight but now I was worried.
" Well, the kids say she has been acting strange. They fear she's ill but you should hear her symptoms. She skips breakfast every morning and is sick during the first two classes of the day. Afterwards she's fine again. Doesn't it sound strange?"
I didn't know what she was going at but Mooney seemed to have figured it out 'cause his face became twisted with emotions before he looked at me. He paled a little and spoke while shifting his gaze back to Molly.
" Molly please don't tell me you think she's pregnant."
I nearly choked on thin air. My babygirl? Pregnant? No no no no! That can not be the case. Nope I won't believe it. Even though if you think about it her mother had also had this when she was pregnant with Jane. She would be sick in the morning and fine by lunchtime. But, no this can't be happening.
" I'm going to Hogwarts! "
"I'm going with you." Remus said to me. I nodded and stood up.
" You're not gonna go right now, are you? I don't even know if it's true. It just sounded a bit like it. I always had those symptoms during my first trimesters."
I waved it off and stepped into the fireplace.
" Hogwarts headmasters office!"
A moment later I stood in Dumbledore's office. Remus came a moment later. We were met with the curious eyes of the headmaster himself.
" Now may I ask why you are here?" He asked motioning to his chairs for us to take a seat. We sat down for a minute and Remus explained as I wasn't able to keep my calm.
" Molly was just over telling us Jane is sick. We have our ideas about what it could be and would like her to confirm or deny them." Mooney explained.
" Rather deny than confirm" I mumbled under my breath.
Dumbledore gave us a curt nod and we walked out of his office to find Jane. We couldn't find her however. We should've asked Dumbles if he knew where she was but no we just went thinking we'd find her ourselves. We're idiots. Finally it hit me. Why are we looking all over the school? She must teach at a moment and then she'll have to go to her classroom.

" Mooney, why don't we just wait for her at the classroom? Classes must start any minute now!"
"I can't believe I didn't think of that... I can't believe you thought of that. "
I smirked at him.
" I have my moments."

We rushed over to the history of Magic classroom and were met with a closed door. Classes must have started already.

Mooney glanced at me, nodded and knocked on the door.
" Yes? Come in."
Her voice wasn't as strong as it was a few weeks ago. My heartbeat was going like crazy and I walked in , Remus right behind me.

As soon as she saw us her hair flickered red for a moment then returned back to black but her eyes were a dull sandy brown and had lost their sprinkle.

" May I inquire the reason of your visit, gentlemen?" Jane was speaking in a very stern voice. Almost as strict as Mcgonagall. I shivered a bit and tried to not anger her any further.
"We would like to speak to you." Remus said in a very polite but straight to business manner.
She raised her hand at us as if to say 'just a second' then she turned to her class.
"You can start on your essay and I'll be right back."
I thought she was going to talk to us but she just dissapeard in a freaking ball of fire. I thought I was the dramaqueen.

" Ginny, do you know where she went?" Remus said making me turn to him and Ginny. I hadn't even noticed the youngest redhead sitting there. Oh well.
