A/N: Drabble a day challenge. This is a vague sequel to 'Cook'; there are references to it but it doesn't immediately follow on :)

Surprise

Hermione gulped down the last bit of coffee from her third mug of the evening. She was rushed off her feet organising charts and numbers for a meeting the next day, still at her office in the Ministry two hours after she had originally hoped to finish.

She didn't cease her work or even look up from her desk when there was a knock at her door, simply waving her wand to open it. She was so close to finishing that she wanted it out of the way as soon as possible so she could go home to Draco and –

"You look like you could use a break, Granger."

That voice…

Hermione's eyes snapped up immediately. Draco was stood in the doorway carrying a bag of what looked and smelled like food from the Chinese take-away with a smirk on his face (he was very proud that he had finally grasped the whole concept of it). Her mouth began to salivate and her stomach growled; only now did it register that she hadn't actually eaten anything since breakfast.

Oops.

"Draco, what are you doing here?" She rose from her chair and scurried around the desk to give him a hug. "I thought you said you were busy tonight."

"I was." He kissed the top of her head, "I know we made plans for tomorrow but I couldn't not see you tonight."

Hermione smiled at him and grabbed the bag of food from his hands. He laughed.

Hermione ate and ate – whilst simultaneously chatting to Draco and completing her work, of course – until the fortune cookies remained. She eyed hers sceptically when Draco passed one over, and raised an eyebrow at him

"I know you don't believe in all that Divination-prediction crap but this one's different. Trust me," he flashed her a mischievous smile.

Hermione sighed and broke the cookie in two before extracting the thin slip of paper; her expectations were very low. As she read the short message she felt a wide grin spread across her face.

'Happy Anniversary, love. Here's to another amazing year together. D x'
