The Good, The Bad And The Dirty

Moon

Remus in the middle of washing his hands when his dark forest green eyes changed to a brilliant gold color, signaling his werewolf side taking over. Moony's instincts were screaming at him to get to Harry and the pups, sprinting through the house and grabbing 'Sirius' before throwing him into the wall. Deep, rumbling growls emerged from his chest and he stood in front of where Harry and the babies were.

"Remus!" Harry tried to move around him, only to be stopped by Moony's arms. He flinched slightly at the sight of Moony's gold eyes. "Moony, shh. It's Sirius. Padfoot. No need to attack him. Shh." He tried to get the werewolf to let Remus take back over, only to fail.

"Not Padfoot." The tone was deep and guttural. Moony had no intention of allowing his mate or pups be anywhere near the imposter. "Bad scent." He bared his teeth at the imposter, glaring. "Hold Pups." He nudged Harry back to James and Ibrahim who napped in their cradles still.

"Moony..." Harry stroked his cheeks before deciding to do as told, wary of who he had thought was Sirius. He sat close to their cradles, hand on his wand and then stupefied the imposter. "Moony, watch the babies. I don't want you to get in trouble." He summoned the imposter's wand and bound the man up with strong conjured ropes.

Moony was hovering protectively over his pups, eyes locked on Harry. He wouldn't relax until the real Sirius was back. "Need Padfoot."

"We'll find him, love. Can you let Remus come back? We aren't in danger anymore." Harry moved to Moony's side, focusing on calming him again. Moony's eyes slowly changed back to forest green and Harry smiled in relief. "You okay?"

"Yeah... Just disoriented. He hasn't taken over like that since I was a kid. But I'm glad he did. He saved you and the kids." Remus was nuzzling his face on Harry's neck and cheeks.

"I'm going to summon Kingsley and Amelia Bones." Harry Floo'ed the Auror office and soon the two stepped through. "Sirius has been impersonated and he's still missing." He directed Kingsley to the tied up man and watched him administer a potion that revealed him to be Augustus Rookwood. 

"Augustus Rookwood..." Amelia sighed. "We'll be taking him in."

"Where is Sirius Black?" Kingsley woke the stupefied man with the counter-spell.

"I'm not telling you." Rookwood snarled with a hateful expression. He had been trying to finish his Master's mission of killing Harry.

"Where. Is. Sirius. Black?" Harry was suddenly in Rookwood's face, magic flaring.

"Harry." Remus kept his distance but reached out to his lover.

"Tell me!" Harry's emotions flared along with his magic, none of the the others in the room willing to get close.

"Maaaaaaaaa!" Ibrahim wailed, waking up and trying to remove himself from the cradle which woke James who joined in the screaming. Harry's magic lashed about until he moved back to the cradle, magic now swirling out to wrap around the twins. Harry's arms soon wrapped around both babies with Remus in front of them again. Kingsley took Rookwood back to the Auror department to be booked. Amelia meanwhile floo'ed several other aurors who set out to look for Sirius.

~Few hours later~

Harry and Remus had spent the last couple hours pacing around and trying to keep the twins calm while waiting for news. Harry was so frustrated, wanting to be out looking for Sirius himself but understanding that he needed to be near the twins.
