Chapter 14: Don't Forget the Frosting
I do not own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does.
A months after the wedding I find myself in Hannah's flat helping her bake ten batches of cupcakes. I sit on the counter in the kitchen, my eyes glued to her face. She had her nose scrunched up in concentration, her teeth biting down softly on her lower lip.
Suddenly she looks up from her work of stirring the cupcake mix.
"What?" She asks amused, getting self conscious after a while and smooths out her hair with her free hand.
I smile. "It's nothing" I say.
She gives me an unbelieving look and returns to mixing the gooey but delicious contents. I shift my gaze to the bowl filled with frosting and stick a finger in it, scooping up some and placing it in my mouth. Hannah looks at me with a raised eyebrow and I lick my lip, to get rid of the sugary stuff and give her an innocent smile. She rolls her eyes and looks down again. I sneak a glance at her before looking back down at the bowl and putting my finger in it again.
"Caught you", I hear Hannah's voice and I quickly put the frosting in my mouth. She graves the bowl from my side and places it next to her.
"Hannah, why?" I whine
"I still have to frost some cupcakes", she says amused at my antics.
"But you only have one more batch and still have a ton of frosting".
"After I frost them you can eat all the frosting you like".
I compromise and stare at her as she works, waiting patiently. I follow her with my eyes as she puts the batch into the oven.
"How about now?" I ask.
Sh sighs playfully, "Fine, just one", she warns and I nod happily, going over to her side and scooping up some frosting. I'm about to put it in mouth, when I get a mischievous idea. I turn to Hannah and see her leaning against the counter, reading a book.
"Hey, love?" I call to her.
"Mmm?" She looks up from her book, right as I smear the frost on her nose. I laugh at her startled look and she glares at me, a smile playing at her lips. She goes over to the bowl and scoops some up, plastering it on my cheek. Soon we have a full on frosting war on, until I stop it by graving some on both hands and putting it over her cheeks, close to her eyes. She closes them and I take that chance to go behind her. She clears her eyes of the frosting and blinks.
"Neville?" I bite my lip to hold back the laughter.
I grave her from around the waist and quickly spin her around, pressing my lips against hers. She makes a noise at the back of her throat. I deepen the kiss and she doesn't protest. She opens her mouth against mine and I explore every inch of her already familiar mouth. She moans. I pick her up and take her to the counter, sitting her on top of it where I had previously sat. We break apart and I start kissing down her jaw and neck, she leans her head back and I smile against her skin. I get to the strap of her tank top and move it aside. I start kissing and sucking where it had been on her shoulder, as she gasps. Suddenly we hear a knock on the door and I break apart. Hannah gulps, panting. I smile when I see her readjust her strap as she walks to the door, right as she is about to open it she noticed the red mark on her shoulder.
"Neville!" She whispers at me.
I smirk as she shakes her head and puts on a thin sweater, to hide the mark I had left her. With one last disbelieving look at me she opens the door.
Ernie comes in and gives his best friend a kiss on the cheek and me a pat on the back.
"Are you cold?" He asks Hannah and she blushes a bright red. I wink at her behind Ernie's back and snort with laughter, quickly covering it up as a cough. Ernie raises an eyebrow at me and turns his attention back to Hannah. We had the fire going in the flat, so even if it was November it was still pretty warm inside.
"Yes", responds Hannah, giving me a slight glare. He shakes his head and rolls his eyes at our unusual behavior.
"Anyway, I just came because Susan sent me to get the cupcakes, so you wouldn't have to take them with you to the reunion tomorrow."
"Right, she told me she's sent you." She blushed, embarrassed she had forgotten. "A batch is still in the oven, it'll be ready in like ten minutes, you can wait here if you'd like, while I prepare them." She tells him, he nods and takes a seat on the couch. They had asked Hannah to make cupcakes for the reunion, since she had experience in the kitchen, considering she owned the Leakey.
She heads to the kitchen, as I call after her, "Don't forget the frosting!". She coughs and almost trips on the chair and I laugh and Ernie looked confused. She shoots me a playful glare and gets to work. I make small talk with Ernie, anxiously waiting until he leaves. Finally after about fifteen minutes Hannah hands him about ten boxes and he heads out the door.
Hannah closes the door, taking off her sweater so that she once again is in just her tank top and jeans. She sits next to me and slaps my arm playfully.
"You are such a tease", she says amused and I laugh.
She kisses me hard and runs her hand through my hair, I can't help but moan when she shifts and takes a seat on my lap. She starts to unbutton my shirt and then she suddenly stops. I moan in protest and open my eyes. She sits there smirking, I even my breath.
"Gosh, what you do to me" I tell her.
"You deserved it, making me look silly." She responds and gives me a peck on the lips.
"I love you Han." I tell her sincerely.
She cuddles up against my chest.
"I love you too."
