When Bunty comes back from work , she comes through the door and the whole pub just starts clapping and whistling. Bunty has no clue why, but she just smiles and waves it off. Aberforth starts hollering at everyone to knock it off and the guests start snickering to themselves.

Aberforth carefully drags Bunty to a back room by the hand and sighs.

Bunty: What’s with all the fuss?

Aberforth: About last night…

Bunty: *blushing* What about it?

Aberforth: They heard everything.

Bunty: *pale* Everything?

Aberforth: Everything.

Bunty: Wait, how do you know?

Aberforth: Aurelius.

Bunty: AURELIUS? Aurelius heard???

Aberforth: Everything.

Bunty: *nearly dies of embarrassment*

It wasn’t until a couple nights later, Bunty came home and the light from the fireplace was hitting just right on Aberforth, she took out her wand and cast the spell.

Aberforth: What was that for?

Aberforth is a sweaty mess ALL DAY of the wedding. He’s agitated and he swears that his tie is crooked no matter how many times he casts a spell on it.

Albus is his best man (thanks to Bunty) and he keeps trying to convince his brother that everything is alright and that he looks fine. The more Albus talks, the more Aberforth gets sweaty and convinced everything is going wrong.

Eventually someone gets Bunty and she closes her eyes to come see him. Aberforth closes his eyes and tries his best to act like everything is ok.

Bunty: I thought the bride is suppose to be the one to go mad on the day of?

Aberforth explains that he just wanted everything to be perfect for her because that’s what she deserves. He doesn’t anyone or anything, especially himself to ruin it for her. Bunty just smiles at that thought.

After she assures him that he could do no wrong, he starts to breath again. They interlock fingers for one second before parting again. Aberforth quickly after goes to find Albus to continue the wedding.

They have an outdoor wedding and Newt is the man of honor with Pickett as ring bearer.

Albus gave Aberforth their parent’s old rings since he figured he would never get a chance to use them like he dreamed. Abe knew how much the rings meant to Albus so he took them with much appreciation.

Aberforth absolutely shed a tear when Bunty came down the aisle.

Bunty had memorized her vows and they made Aberforth cry even more than he was trying to, because he knew Bunty meant every beautiful word she said. Aberforth had his vows written down so that he wouldn’t forget to mention anything. They were shorter than hers but sweet. His vows managed to make Newt and Albus cry silently in the back.

Bunty gets a chance to dance with Jacob, Theseus, Newt, and Albus. Aberforth dances with Lally, Queenie, and Tina. It’s some of the most fun everyone has had in a while.

Abe and Albus had a chance to talk after while Bunty was dancing with Newt. Abe explained how he knew how much the rings meant to him and it was the first time he thanked his brother in years. Albus was just glad that his family still got a chance at happiness and he was able to be apart of it.

The food served is a combination of Aberforth’ special recipe and Kowalski baked goods. The cake was done by Jacob too and Queenie enchanted it to have little edible fondant beasts running around on the multiple tiers that leave little footprints in the frosting.

Aberforth marks this day as one of his happiest in his entire life and tries his best to capture and remember every instance. Especially the way that Bunty looks at every moment.

Bunty and Aberforth rarely argue, but every couple does at some point. Abe is always quick to apologize if he says something mean. Bunty is also really fast with her apologizes whether it was her fault or not. They’re arguments have never lasted more than a couple hours maximum.

Newt contacting Aberforth about a slight hiccup that happened at work. Aberforth running to find Bunty sleep at the infirmary, being treated for an almost severe bite on her arm. When she wakes up he’s sitting in the bedside chair, holding her hand and fast asleep. She could see the worry and stress on his face and it almost made her cry realizing how important she was to him.

Abe taking off his coat and wrapping it around Bunty so she won’t be cold. It makes her look smaller than she actually is and he adores it.

The first time Aberforth really talked about Ariana and what happened to her, he broke down crying. Bunty held him, with his head on her shoulder, and she just gently rubbed his back. Aberforth couldn’t remember the last time he had someone there to grieve with him about Ariana.

Aberforth always tries his best to remember the dates and anniversaries of everything that happened in their relationship. He knows how important the dates are to her and so he always has a gift put aside for that reason.

Because Abe can do spells without saying them, he started to teach Bunty more on defensive magic and in return she taught him more about herbology. 

Aberforth jumping through hoops to plan Bunty a surprise birthday party. He wanted it to be perfect and that meant he had to pretend like he didn’t get her much for her bday. He could tell that Bunty was slightly bummed about how her day was going and his secret didn’t make anything easier.

First she told him about Newt and how he had forgotten her birthday in total (the truth was, he hadn’t). She had grown used to his obliviousness in regards to her but it still stung. Then, Bunty led the conversation to how she thought they might be able to go out somewhere later but Abe explained he was sadly busy with the bar for the day. Bunty gave a sad smile and made her way upstairs alone. Aberforth almost broke on the spot as he watched her shoulders slump and tears form in her eyes when she acknowledged his “busy” schedule without fuss.

When Abe went upstairs later that day to find her, she had mysteriously disappeared. Aberforth found a note on the nightstand that read, “I understand you’re busy, so I went out on my own for a bit. Be back later. Love you.” -Bunty. This took Abe by surprise because all their friends were downstairs waiting for her in the dark. He was forced to tell everyone that they had to wait a little while longer, so they turned the lights back on and everybody got served drinks.

After a couple hours, the pub door opened and Bunty stepped in covered in muck and dirt but a smile on her face. Everyone stopped in their tracks and Bunty turned confused. Queenie was the only one to shout out, “surprise!” Aberforth made his way to her and pulled her to the side to explain the situation. Bunty had went out to play with beasts to make herself feel better. She was successful but dirty. She couldn’t believe that he had went through all this for her, she kissed him until Newt kindly cleared his throat. It was one of the best birthdays she ever had.

Bunty nervously taking Aberforth to her flat for the first time, she didn’t have visitors often. He was surprised to see how many random artifacts she had collected. Abe noticed that she owned at least 11 framed photos of her and Newt. Mostly them on their journeys over the years, and the pictures were perfectly spread throughout her flat. It made him a little jealous until he saw a picture of himself on her nightstand. She had apparently snuck a portrait of him while he was smiling at a book one morning at breakfast. When Abe asked her about it, she got flustered. Stuttering something about “how he looked quite fetching that morning” and how she “was sorry to invade his privacy like that”. Abe shrugged it off and when he got some free time, found an old photo of himself just for her.

Aberforth loves telling people that Bunty is his partner. Bunty is usually the first thing he brings up in a conversation, especially when he’s forced to talk to somebody.

After a month of knowing and talking to Bunty, Aberforth had grown to care deeply for her. He knew if anything happened to her, he would completely lose it. He was tired of losing people and he refused to lose Bunty too.

Aberforth and Bunty weren’t actively trying for a baby. Sometimes they happen to get caught up in the moment and Abe forgets to cast a protection spell.

When Bunty realizes that she is pregnant, she freaks out (in a good way). She doesn’t know yet how she’s going to tell Aberforth because they hadn’t had many convos about their future including children. The topic has been brought up a hand full of times but never in detail.

After a week of knowing, Bunty worked up the courage to tell Aberforth the news. It was early, before Abe went to work, and he was in the mirror tidying his vest when she blurted it out. Aberforth turned around and nearly fainted. Abe told the whole pub that a round of drinks were on him that day.

Bunty’s morning sickness starts to kick in and her senses heighten, she can’t stand the smell of the pub. The thought of it makes her nauseous. So for a limited time only, Aberforth put a spell on the pub and made it smell like peppermint. The regulars surprisingly had no complaints.

Aberforth cooked every meal for her and did his best to make sure she stayed off her feet, even early in the pregnancy when she was barely showing.

Aberforth was proud to share the news with Albus, only after Bunty convinced him it was better to tell him now before he was the last one to know.

Aurelius, Newt and Tina were first, followed by Jacob and Queenie (because of Newtina), and then Theseus and Lally (through Newt and Jacob). It was only a matter of time before the whole village found out. Bunty would hate if Albus felt negativity in any way because of that so she invited him over personally. Albus immediately pulled Aberforth into a hug and told him how excited he was for him. It was sadly one if the only times you saw the brothers happy together.

After Bunty told him that she was expecting he ended up making his way to some old childhood boxes. They had a layer of dust covering them, but they were filled with a lot of objects he had consistently pushed down. One of his old baby socks, a couple photographs, a few children’s stories, and some baby toys. Aberforth figured that maybe it was time to put some of the items back into use.

Aberforth talking to Bunty’s stomach when she’s asleep, because he feels like the convos are more personal.

Neither of the parents had a preference over what gender the baby was, they just wanted them to be healthy (to they’re later surprise they had two daughters).

Aberforth dragging Bunty away from work because she was due in a couple months. He argued she shouldn’t be on her feet in the first place, nevertheless trying to mess with beasts. Bunty laughed at his protectiveness and let him drag her out after she played with the nifflers and mooncalves.

The two of them spent an excessive amount of time trying to find a good room for the baby.

Aberforth’s personal room was the only room that had constant repairs and constant upkeep. The rest of the rooms either had a water leak, smelled like they had a leak, or always had a constant slight breeze. Aberforth joked that he never liked his customers to feel too cozy, where they would feel inclined to overstay. They settled on a room with a few small leaks and several stains and vowed to repair it quickly together with the help of some magic.

Aberforth: Who’s this one from?

Bunty: I believe that one is either from Newt or Queenie, they both have similar boxes. There’s a knickknacks pile on the right and cutlery on the left.

Aberforth: Well…I would hope this didn’t come from Newt…

Bunty: Why not?

Aberforth: Is there a silk pile?

Bunty: A WHAT?

Aberforth: *smirking and turning to show her the gift*

Bunty: *facepalming* Queenie…

When Aberforth took the twins to work with him every once in a while she had a harder time jotting down everyone’s orders but she remembered the order correctly.

Aberforth commonly had trouble with his Hogwarts education when he was younger and when it was evident that his daughter needed a little extra patience and attention he was happy to give it to her.

Bunty took her daughter to work with her and the twin automatically started to work out the dimensions of each beast environment. The architecture was easier to comprehend.

Bunty sometimes asked her daughter to help create the dimension pocket for the beasts when they were added.

She had an easy time remembering what each beast needed for the day and what was required to take care of them.

Newt was especially happy that he had someone that was naturally gifted with the art of beast caretaking had been brought to him by his wonderful assistant. She often went on outings with Newt and Bunty. Newt always tried to teach her tips and easy guides because he knew that she would remember it for later.

Aberforth was proud to add that his daughter got her amazing memory from him.

Bunty knew that one day her daughter would become an even better magizoologist than she had ever been and she couldn’t be happier.
