Dangerous
"Come on boy!" The Games keeper called, his face lighting up with a look of pure joy as he watched the small creature bound across the grounds toward him. The half-giant bent down as close to the ground as he could get, trying not to scare the puppy as it approached him. His cheeks hurt with smiling as he scooped the miniature hound into his arms. "Hey, boy! You're such a cute puppy!" After thousands of lonely hours walking the grounds, and spending day after day by himself Hagrid came home to find a small bundle on his door step. Inside was an adorable puppy and a note which said, 'For you to teach the ropes - Name him well.'
Later that day, Dumbledore paid Hagrid a visit - only to find him sprawled on the ground with the dog curled in his beard. The wizard looked on the scene with a humoured smile.
"I see he has taken well to you, Rubeus?"
"'E 'as! Professor, 'e loves me!" The men laughed together as the dog shifted on top of him.
"What did you name him?" The elderly man questioned.
"Fang, Sir. So he will grow up and be a strong, heroic beast!"
"With a heart of gold like his owner," Albus smiled at his friend.
Albus watched as the pair grew together, and while they both looked deadly and dangerous, neither could hurt more than a fly - like they were made for each other.
