Harry had found the school seemed to be in agreement to keep him safe. He didn't find any comfort in being reminded the man was his teacher. He had already been almost murdered by one teacher and it was barely second term. He knew his family would do all they could but he was still scared. He didn't remember much of his life before his grandmother took him. But from time to time he had nightmares. He knew his uncles were not fond of grandmother but she had rescued Harry and given him a home finally. He wished she was still alive and his grandfathers were. He was missing his lessons with them.

The weekend if the full moon finally arrived and Harry was relieved. He knew there was a risk with the plan but that didn't matter. He was already at risk and he knew he could not avoid the man forever. He also wanted his friends safe.

Harry looked at the sky as the sun was drawing down. "Nearly there."

Draco watched him. "You look worried."

Harry sighed. " I just want this to work and be rid of him."

"You still have the headmaster."

"Don't remind me. But one is easier than two."

Draco was surprised as Harry got up. "Not time for dinner yet."

Harry shook his head. "I am supposed to be down at Hagrid's hut."

"I will come"

"No. I am not about to risk my cousin."

"I am not the target. Besides you need back up."

"Fred wasn't either and he could have been killed."

"He wasnt."

" I am not taking the risk. Besides I need you to distract the twins."

"Making me a babysitter?"

"You know they will try to get involved."

Draco didn't look convinced but he nodded. He thought that Harry should not be alone though. He was sometimes jealous about how close his cousin was to the twins. He knew the twins had become like big brothers to Harry in a way. Part of him thought that he should enlist the twins. He headed into school not to distract them but to find them for aid. He knew they could be useful when it came to sneaking into things. He hoped he could find them soon and get back outside.

Harry watched his cousin go and knew Draco had no plans to do as he asked. But he knew Draco and the twins would be safe. He made Severus promise he would keep them out if this. He hadn't really had to ask. They didn't want to include him.

He found his way to Hagrid's. "He isn't here."

A voice came from behind. "Looking for someone?"

Harry turned. "Not you."

The fake came towards him. "I thought you would want to spend time with your godfather."

"I don't even know you."

"That is why I came. Albus tells me you asked him to find me."

The real one Harry thought "Not so you could take me from my family."

"Your birth parents wanted us to be together."

Harry pulled back. "It is almost dark. Should you not be inside with a potion?"

The man showed him a potion. "Time enough. Besides I can simply be in the woods."

"I don't plan on being around when you do."

"I am quite sure you are at no risk."

" Forgive me if I don't plan to take that chance."

"Your dad and our friends used to join me and you are my cub."

If it was the real Remus the man would be right but only about him. The marauders had only been safe because they were in animal form. Though they never took the chance, Harry knew he would be safe with his uncle. The wolf in him loved Harry and would kill for him but never hurt him. Harry was confused why the man was still there. He surely had to know that he could not hide he was not a wolf. For a moment he wondered if the man was another werewolf but he shook away the thought. The last packs had left decades ago other than the one who bit his uncle but he was dead. Besides Uncle Luc had done a silver test.

Harry heard Fang and thinking Hagrid was out in the paddock, Harry headed that way. He knew he was not at risk in the woods and he just had to hope the moon came soon. He was surprised to find the dog but no sign of his owner.

Harry watched the man. "Surely you should take your potion."

The man eyed him. " I am in the woods and we have time."

Harry shook his head. " I would feel safer."

The man took out the bottle. "I guess there is no time like the present."

Harry watched the man and careful so the man didn't see his wand, cast a spell. 'Drink up'

The man coughed as he swallowed which Harry knew he didn't plan to. ". I swear the man makes it taste awful on purpose."

Harry went to leave. " I need to get back to school."

"You should see this."

Harry was confused. "I thought you were meant to protect me."

The man had an odd look. " I will show you you are only safe with me."

Harry backed away "Like I was with Quirell?"

The man reminded him. " I am your godfather, it is my job."

Harry saw the moon. " Time is up."

The man shocked Harry when he started to turn. But it was not like his uncle. He had seen the wolf transform through a spell. This man transformed instantly. Harry knew there were shifters, born werewolves who could turn any time, but this was not one. He knew the man was an animagus. He had never seen a wolf one and he wondered where he was found. Harry though saw a shift in the man and he was reminded of the potion Severus had given him. He needed to get away from the man.

The wolf began growling at him. " I need to get back to school."

..."..."...

Severus headed outside once he found the boys. He assured both Harry and their parents to keep them safe. He wished they didn't have to involve Harry but that was obviously not possible. The potion would help and the imposter would be gone soon. The potion would make the man act demented and show himself after night fall. Albus would not be able to hide the man was not a wolf then. He had the boys trapped in the room of requirements, possible if you knew a trick. His godson would be upset.

Having learned that the man was outside and had headed to Hagrid's hut. He was confused at what the man was doing out so close to the moon. He would have worried the man took the potion early but he thought the man would need to be tricked.

He found Hagrid coming from town. "Have you seen Harry?"

The man shook his head. "I had to go into town. But Fang is likely with him."

Severus smirked. "I may find more comfort if that dog wasn't scared of his own shadow."

"He is brave when needed. And for those he cares about."

Severus headed towards the woods. "I still wish you had a proper dog."

"He loves Harry. Besides Harry has other friends in the woods."

Severus knew he was right. "And the others should be here soon."

Hagrid went to come with him. "I am coming."

"You have no wand."

Hagrid clutched his umbrella. "Fang is not the only one who can hold his own."

"He would not have you at risk."

"We are wasting time."

Severus knew he was right and didn't try and stop the man. The teachers all knew the secret of the umbrella. Honestly Filius had been the one to help make it. They all knew he was innocent but his name had never been cleared. Another person Albus could have aided but never had. It was a well known fact that Tom had been the one. Hagrid had gone to school with Voldemort though he was a bit younger than the man was. Hagrid had no family and the old groundskeeper took him in and trained him. Severus knew Lily and the marauders had often come for tea. And Harry had continued that trend.

Severus was confused when he heard growling. He knew that it was not a dog. It was definitely a wolf. There were wolfs in the woods, normal ones, but they never came this close to school. He did hear barking as well and realized it was Fang.

He came to the paddock where he found Harry backed into a corner. "Harry."

The boy looked at him. " He has gone nuts."

Severus realized it was the imposter. " He is a wolf."

Harry shook his head. " He is an animagus."

Severus snarled as he got between Harry and the wolf. " I should have known."

Harry was scared. "You know him? I didn't want to stun a teacher."

Severus sent a stunner at the man. "I never thought to see his likes."

Sirius appeared with Moody and the centaurs. "Are you okay cub?"

Harry went into his uncle's arms. "Thanks to Fang and Severus."

Severus looked at Moody. "We need to reveal who it is."

Moody turned to the prone form. "Should not be hard."

Sirius snarled when he saw the man. " I never thought even Albus would bring this man into school."

Harry was scared. "He wanted me to go home with him. Who is he?"

Severus shared a look with Moody. "What do we do with him?"

Moody motioned. "Return him to Albus."

Harry was upset and shaken. It was decided that the man would be kept here in the woods till morning. He had quite the criminal record so Moody could. They decided if they were going to confront Albus about the man and plan, they would follow it right. Harry was taken inside and they knew he was shaken when he didn't protest a potion or staying with Severus for the night. When the boy was asleep Severus went and freed the other three. They were upset but they were happy to know Harry was safe.

In the morning Harry would not be left alone when the others were taking the imposter up to the infirmiry. He still seemed to be unconscious, a combination of the potion and the spell he had taken.

Albus was not pleased when summoned. "What is this about?"

Severus smirked. "Thought you would like to see who we found lurking in the grounds."

Albus didn't look. "A student got in trouble last night? I am sure Poppy could handle this."

Moody appeared. " I would be looking into the wards."

Albus was confused. "Alastair what are you doing in the school?"

" I was informed a criminal was caught."

Albus hid his shock. "Criminal?"

Severus pointed at the bed. "He was one of your stooges wasn't he?"

Albus growled." I used many turn coats as you know well."

Moody motioned. "We will find out when he wakes why he has been at school."

Albus saw the looks. " I certainly don't know."

Lucius had arrived. "Two criminals on campus this year. And this time there will be no poison."

Albus went to leave. "There are more than one."

Lucius like Severus was shocked the man would take such a risk. But they knew why he had. There was a good chance he would get caught during the moon. Albus needed a wolf, and only option was an animagus. Wolf ones were not common but Albus had known one. He must have been desperate to get his hands on Harry though to use the likes of Mundungus there. The man was not a great danger, mainly a thief, but when he got backed into a corner he had a loose trigger finger. The marauders had never quite understood how he was a wolf, more a fox at best. But they had seen his form once or twice.

Albus was about to leave when he stopped. "What are you doing here.?"

Remus stood in the door. " I was going to breakfast when I heard. Surely the defence teacher should know."

An: Sorry for long break but computer and work issues. Hope this is worth wait. Please review

So fake Remus is caught and the real Remus is in school. How will Albus deal with the real marauder?

Please review.
