Notes: I know this title isn't as epic as that of StarlightxMassacre's Rise of the Dracken: The Scaled bits but I did my best. This is not quite a side fic but will show parts of the story that didn't make it into the main story line for whatever reasons. Hopefully this is answer questions or fill in gaps.
A/N: Apologies for the tardiness but here is something. For Child of the sea96 who said Ginny needed someone to love her. Here's hoping she and the puppy get along.

Chapter 28 - Crup Shopping
Aberforth had closed the pub for the day…
First time in the history of his ownership, usually he was open for lunch but not today.
Since taking responsibility for his children well Ginevra mostly, Aberforth was a bit out of his depth. He'd picked up all the books on parenting teenagers especially those on parenting witches that he could find at Tomes and Scrolls once he'd left her to attend classes. As well as puppy-training guides for Ginevra, she was so lonely that he felt that she needed her puppy sooner then later so he was doing research on Crup breeders, given that Kneazel breeders had taken to interbreeding Kneazels with Muggle cats Aberforth wasn't against half-crups.
Crups were rather energetic dogs and perhaps a more sedate mixture would be good for Ginevra. There weren't any crup breeders in Hogsmeade so Aberforth needed to go farther afield to find one.
Something he'd learned from his annoying brother was that research was a good start to any project.
My First Crup had a list of breeders in its second chapter, there were mixed crup breeders and one was on the Isle of Sky. Which was still in Scotland, they were practically chased from Wales after his father's arrest and Godric's Hollow had never been home. Scotland had always been someplace he'd like ta settle down, it was pretty.
A hundred-something year old wizard with a thirteen-year-old daughter, he'd be laughed at.
Aberforth worried for her, she had no friends in school and no family either.
Maybe puppy shopping was something he should wait on, he didn't have any intention of buying just yet but he did want to know as much as he could.
He'd read up on the Harpies, ordered posters of well the more well-known ones Gwenog Jones, Beater/Captain and Wilda Griffiths, Chaser. Plus posters of each of the Weird Sisters since Ginevra hadn't told him an express favourite.
It was a nearly time to think about bringing Ginevra home but he didn't want her to spend one night in his apartment over Hogshead.
He couldn't Apparate to Skye because it was an Isle so he flooed from Hogshead and emerged in a Wizarding shop.
Aberforth left the three-sickle tip for use of the floo before finding his way according to the map to Skylia Breeders, which was run by the MacDougal family.
They were experimenting with Crups and the native Cairn Terriers creating a breed they had taken to calling Skypes. Apparently they were curious and sweet…
Perhaps, that would do. Aberforth had never really had a pet; his mother couldn't be bothered claiming they would upset Ariana and frighten his goats.
Aberforth was a bit winded, having worked late into the morning and now walking through an unfamiliar place looking for the Breeder.
He was really getting too old to be running a pub of all things, it would probably be best to sell the place.
He finally found it and made his way up the drive.
Aberforth felt the tingle of wards and ignored it.
He heard the joyous barking of dogs, he could see a sort of play area where the dogs were being exercised.
At least they weren't locked in tiny cages unable to more, only let out to breed and then breed until they died.
A young man about the age of Ginny's mother called out, "Welcome to Skylia, I'm Logan MacDougal we're between litters right now. The last one sold and the next is spoken for."
"Aberforth Dumbledore, I run a pub."
The man frowned, "Related to Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Aberforth flinched, "The former Headmaster unfortunately for both of us is my elder brother. I have recently been give custody of a ward of the family, she is a shy thing and since it's coming up to solstice I thought she needed a special gift. I had hoped that you might have something. She's never had a pet before, she's lonely and hasn't seemed to make any friends really. Are you sure there isn't anything?"
"Well, we've got a runt. She was sickly and she didn't end up taking to anyone, she's more Crup then Skype. Her mother died, too young to breed I guess. We normally name the pups after the colour of their string collar so that their forever family can give them a real name."
The pup's sad story touched the gruff old man, "She might do…"
Logan called out, "Griff! Hey Griff."
A slightly fluffy crup with the normal forked tail ran over.
Logan scooped her up, "We call her Griff because she barks anytime she hears the name Griffith on the Wireless. It was almost Gwen because of Jones but we figured out she was a Griffith fan."
How a dog could be a Quidditch fan Aberforth didn't rightly know but he thought she was…
On closer inspection Aberforth noticed 'Griff' had brown ears the colour of Honeydukes milk chocolate, brindled forepaws and a black body. The muddled colours probably also cheapened her.
Knowing the usual cost of their dogs and the price of crossbreed Kneazels, Aberforth offered a reasonable sum for her.
Logan MacDougal accepted the price, "You'll need a collar, leash, yard and proper food. We've had her on a special diet…"
Aberforth nodded, "Why don't we arrange for owl delivery? I'll be moving to a more suitable residence soon, as well as selling my pub. It's not exactly the proper place for a teenage girl."
He was given a temporary collar and leash as well as a small bag of food, more would be sent around Solstice.
Nervously, Aberforth turned on his head and made his way back to the shop he'd flooed into.
Now he had to get a house and a tree right? He would go see Sancus Malfoy about selling the pup and procuring McGonagall's cottage…

A/N: SlytherinQueen020- If you're still reading your idea for punishing Hermione has borne fruit but it's posted on Aff . net and AO3.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
Csweaver- Sorry for the late reply. Your comments about Sev's inheritance, flitwick's apology, Aberforth meeting Ginny have merit, I put them here because essential they were backwritten- I didn't write them soon enough to make it into the main storyline. If I even get around to rewriting this I'd probably include them there instead. I never really intended for Sev's creature inheritance to figure som much into the plot- it just happened. Although other then Viktor gaining separate accomidations I don't see how the apology fit into the main story then again it drifted from Harry and Draco as the main focus.
Meechypoo64- Aberforth is trying. He's worried about not doing a good enough job as a parent. Ginny's already been let down a lot and he's trying to make up for th. He'll stumble some but he wants to be a good father. I'm not sure how you'll feel about the Redemption chapter, Hermione ends up in a bit of a situation. Maybe it will make her reexamine a few things...
ChaosLady- Here is Aberforth making another stab at fatherhood...
