Hey all. I'm really sorry for not updating in such a long while. I know it's been months since I updated but the fact was I lost my inspiration for this story. Every time I sat down to write…nothing came. But I want to thank you for your patience and support…although the last chapter was lacking in the reviews area but the ones that I got was most appreciated. But I want to personally thank you, to Draco's Pixie, for your words. ^_^ A thanks goes out to everyone that read this little story of mine and I do hope that you continue.

Disclaimer- I do not own Harry Potter…

Chapter 2- A Voice of Time

…………………………

"Hello"

            All the memories flashed back within in her mind at the simple sound of his voice. The image of his face seven years ago… The words that he spoke to her echoed in her mind as if it was trying to slowly and painfully kill her.

'If you do remember what you want years from now…'

            'Yeah…'

                        'Give me a call.'

            Her soft breathing turned into somewhat of a pant. The hold on the phone began to slip slowly out of her grasp as she tried to regain control of herself.

"Draco" She breathed out his name.

            The sound of her voice triggered a certain dream. A dream since she last forgotten. A fantasy filled with the lustful thoughts that she could never have. His hands traveling across her body. But a body that belongs not to him…for the ring that laid on her finger forever bound her to Ron. Although Ron is the love of her life sometimes she couldn't get past the fact or the words 'What if?'

            What if things were different? What if she wasn't getting married? What if she didn't have a commitment? What if she lived in the lands where her most desirable fantasies were fulfilled…?

"Hermione?"

            Brought back into reality by his voice.

"D-Draco?"

"You sound out of breath…anything wrong?"

            The concern in his voice sent a heat throughout her body. A longing. 'He cared…' She couldn't speak and neither could he. So there they sat, simply content of hearing the other's voice. Content to know that they still remembered one another. Content with the memories that each one triggered. Content to forevermore live in only a dream—

"Hermione?"

"Nothing…nothings wrong."

"You sure? Maybe this is a bad time"

"No…"

"…"

"Dra--"

"I wanted to talk to you"

"About what?"

"Can you meet me tomorrow? At the Leaky Cauldron, say…12 sharp?"

"Sure"

            Silence came after that. The darkness surrounded her as she felt the soft breeze wrap its arms around her. If only… if only it was him. Shaking her head ever so gently she spoke up once more:

"Do you still remember?"

"Remember what?"

"Why did you save me, Draco?"

"Because…"

"…"

"I-I'll talk to you tomorrow"

            The last thing she knew a certain deaf tone buzz filled her ears. He was gone. But tomorrow she will only regret what she was about to do…

Hermione's POV

            Fear filled my lungs as the images of his face flashed back into my mind. His platinum locks falling gently over his blue eyes… My hands traveling across his body, adventuring…fulfilling my desirable fantasies. My lips blowing across his fiery red hair. Red hair? RON!!! I forgot about Ron! My hands fumbled on the phone as I pressed the button.

"Ron?"

            My voice was caught. The way I said his name came out in a way that made me worry…

"Are you ok love? You sound out of breath. Is anything wrong? Want me to come over?"

            He was bombarding me with questions. But I couldn't answer! I'd try to speak but all that came out was hot air! I felt dirty…as if I was lying to him. Doing something that I shouldn't be doing. "Ron…" I said this in a pleading way. A plea for help. That was what it was. His gentle voice repeated my name, over and over.

But all I heard was Draco's voice; all I saw was Draco's face. I was in a nightmare! An absolute nightmare!

"Hermione? Baby, are you ok. I'm coming over and that's final. You sound sick…"

"Ron…don't. I'm fine."

End of POV

            Hermione's breathing began to drift away as she curled into bed. Covering herself with the white sheets… Her muffled voice repeated his name again and again. Pleading desperately. That she was fine. That she was ok—

"I'm fine Ron"

"But then what was going on before?"

"Just remembered that I didn't pick out my wedding dress yet."

"You worry me Herm. But you know what?"

"What?"

"That anything you wear will never be as beautiful as you."

"Ron"

            She had recovered. And now the memories of her talk with Draco had disappeared from her mind and now was replaced with Ron. And only Ron. He chuckled as he heard her pleasure filled sigh. "Herm. I want to listen to you forever…" he said. Her chocolate brown eyes shimmered in pure bliss. "You will Ron. You will…" But there was that nagging thought that entered her mind. That told her that everything said was indeed a lie.

            Her head sunk into the feathered pillow and still the phone was pressed tightly against her ear. "Goodnight Ron" she said gently as a yawn escaped her lips. "Goodnight" he answered—

            Morning soon came and deep within the white covers lay the sleeping angel. The suns rays seeped through the glass windows as it landed on her. She was on spotlight to the world… Her body shifted from side to side, slowly reveling her body mixed in with the covers. Her smooth peachy skin shone a glisten glow as the sun warmed her being.

            Her lips parted slightly as a smile appeared on her lips… A certain dream was in play, but more as a certain fantasy.

"You awake?"

"Hmm?"

"Hermione! It's 11:30! Wake up"

            It wasn't Ron's voice that had woken her from her dreams. But the time. "Shit" she cursed as a chuckle was heard from the other line.

"Hermione. I'm surprised…such a fowl mouth you have"

"I have to go Ron. I promised to do something and now I'm late! Bye love"

            Before Ron even had the chance to say a decent goodbye the phone was slammed shut. It was like a tornado! Clothes flew from all sides as she ran around trying to get ready. Finally by 11: 45 she was ready. Clad in a simple white sundress she still looked like a complete angel. Although no makeup her face still held the same beauty as ever…

            Letting out a sigh she walked down stairs and left for the Leaky Cauldron.

"Everything is going to be fine"

            At around 12:05 she step into the musty old place. As dark and shabby as she had remembered. It brought back so many memories from the past… Her eyes scanned over everything, until—until it landed on him

            There in the far corner was Draco Malfoy. He looked not a day older then she last saw him. He never did smile, a true smile that is. Unless we're talking about the torture he caused. The thought of his grin sent her smiling. Making her way back she silently stood behind him. "I'm here"

            He froze. Turning around slightly his eyes met hers. "Hermione" It felt as if he hadn't seen her for centuries. Although it hasn't been quite that long it was too long for him to bare. Her brown eyes looked at him in such a way that he-he was hers. Silly, ne? How could one women make his mind turn into mush? But if only he could get up the courage to say what he wanted.

"Sit down"

            He couldn't bare to look at her any longer so his eyes cast downward.

"Is something wrong"

"No"

"What is it Draco?"

"What is what?"

"You called me here for a reason."

"I know"

"Before…before you tell me. Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

            Her eyes searched for his very soul. Trying to figure out how, what made him so special? Her fingers traveled to his chin as she lifted his gaze to meet hers'.

"Why did you save me"

"Because...I-I-because I wanted to"

            His eyes didn't lie. And for the first time she didn't understand a thing. Her mind became blank as she waited for his plea…

"Tell me what you want"

            She persisted him to say so, but for some reason he wouldn't. Avoiding her gaze…avoiding her touch.

"Tell me"

"I want…I want"

            The more he hesitated, the closer she got—

"I want…"

"…"

"You"
