A/N: So yes, I fell for Twilight. But do not fear, my true allegiance still belongs to the beloved Potterverse ;) Though I thought I'd give this a try. And somehow abridge the time until I can finally admire Robert Pattinson's sexiness on the screen, lol ... This is a collection of drabbles as well, so enjoy and don't hesitate to tell me your opinion :)

Disclaimer: If it were mine, I'd be busy swooning over being called a second Mrs Rowling now.

He was getting more irritated by the minute.

He stomped through the forest with her bouncing on his heels like she didn't have a care in the world. Sure, she was amazing. And still, this whole future-telling thing was getting really annoying.

"So?" he said. "Can you tell me a little more about this upcoming relationship of ours?"

"Well …," she said, looking very smug. "If you need to know – you're going to kiss me in exactly forty-one seconds."

He stopped dead and spun around to face her, staring in wonder. He couldn't remember kissing anyone at all – it seemed so unlikely for him to take a move like that.

All of a sudden, her beauty seemed to hit him like a lightning bolt.

As the seconds ticked by, he took all of her in.

Her silky hair that fell in short strands across her face.

Her pearly skin, her delicate features.

Her sparkling eyes and full little lips.

Her sweet hands.

And her smell. Her beautiful, mystifying smell of cinnamon and hyacinth, and something more he couldn't quite place. She smelled more entrancing than anything he had ever experienced. Better perhaps than even blood.

He took his time as those realizations hit him, although his vampire mind could have absorbed it all in only the fraction of a second. When he found himself again, he noticed that precisely twenty-nine seconds had passed. His eyes widened. She'd been right. Of course.

She was still smiling at him, clearly amused.

"What more?" He tried to sound casual, with one eyebrow quirked up in mock suspicion.

"You will be making love to me in …"– she closed her eyes to concentrate – "about an hour. – Enough? –"

Before she got to say anything else, he had skipped to her side and pulled her flush against his body.

Then he closed the gap between them and covered her lips with his.
