spellcasters bringing you this animagus, an irish wolfhound who is either a former slytherin or gryffindor (same difference amiright) and a magizoologist that absolutely doesn't have any hagrid-like tendencies, he's just fostering.
friends that go way back and almost don't even flinch anymore when they visit him and have to duck/jump/otherwise evade his latest house guest, the one that got away or ran away screaming, an old quidditch/house rival now turned somewhat friend but they can't stop the annoying banter.
