A/N: This drabble was written for the Pick A List Competition, the 25 Days of Christmas Competition (with making cookies as the prompt) and the Monthly Het-Tastic Drabble- Athon Competition with cookies as the prompt. Hannah is my character and Hannah/Neville is my pair I used. Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. JK Rowling does.
Hannah had just gotten started with baking Christmas cookies for the long list of people she had to bake for. She wanted to send some to the Weasleys, the Potters, Luna, and her parents. She also planned on sending some to Neville's parents as well.
A smile appeared on her lips when she thought of Neville. She hadn't seen him in the past few weeks because he was a teacher at Hogwarts. She missed him, though she was happy that he had gotten a job he loved.
The door opened and she heard him come inside. She could hear him trying to sneak up on her, and she shook her head. She could always tell when Neville was trying to be sneaky. He was too loud to accomplish it. Hannah didn't know why he tried sometime.
She turned around just in time to see him stick his finger inside the cookie dough bowl. By this time she had already baked two batches of chocolate chip cookies. He kissed her cheek before he tasted some of the dough. His smile turned into a wince.
"What?" Hannah asked in an urgent voice. She double checked all of the ingredients. She put everything in there this time! She wasn't a good cook, but she was determined to do something right for once! Neville made a face and shook his head before spitting the dough out of his mouth. "I put everything in it this time, darling! I promise!"
Neville's eyes travelled down the countertop. "I believe you… but honey…it's still salty. How much salt did you put in this?"
Hannah could feel her cheeks growing warm. "I put in what the recipe said-" She trailed off as grabbed the recipe. "Oh no. I put in a cup instead of a teaspoon!" She wailed. "I wanted everything to be perfect for when you came home…I'm so sorry, Neville."
Neville was at her side immediately. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she rested her head on his shoulder. She wanted to hide her embarrassment now. She felt him kiss her forehead and she looked up when she realized he wasn't mad.
"It's ok," Neville assured her. "But maybe next year I should do the baking."
Hannah sighed before she kissed him on the lips finally. "At least you didn't come home to a fire this year," she said jokingly, remembering last year. The two laughed together and her heart flipped when she looked into Neville's eyes.
"That's something," he agreed as he started to take off her apron. "Why don't we clean this mess up and go out to dinner tonight?" He suggested.
Hannah nodded as she muttered a couple of spells. She knew she was definitely done with cooking for a while. They needed to hire a maid, though she really did want to learn how to cook for him.
