Author Notes: Written for delphi for snapelyholidays. Huge thanks to asphodeline for the beta!
Bumblethwacker is real, though I have no idea what it tastes like. Broken Nose is made up, by me and probably by Aberforth as well. Wizard's Finger is a magical counterpart to Bishop's Finger, when it's not busy being innuendo.

So I won't lie, I might have uttered a bit of a MEEP! when I saw my recipient. Knowing that delphi is a lovely person who would appreciate the effort no matter what is the only reason I dared tackle any of the pairings on her list, but I did, and in the end I had huge fun with this one.

Thank you very much! I knew I wanted it to have a bit of hoary old man humour in there, along with some of the down-to-earth phrasing and presence of this type of character that I love in delphi's work. As you say, high-brow or too close a copy of Albus -- who I adore writing -- just wouldn't work for Aberforth. And they deserved a happy ending after such a long wait ;-)

I'm very glad you enjoyed it, and thank you again for your lovely comments! Not only did you make my day but I love to see people reading and enjoying pairings like this :-)
