A/N: Hello! Here is my newest fanfiction. It is a collection of oneshot songfics for Taylor Swift's first album. I love Harry Potter and Taylor Swift, so I figured why not bring them together? The stories are a mix of pairings, but I generally write Dramione, so there is more of that. If this chapter is not your cup of tea, please try some of the other chapters, because I know this one is not one of my best. Enjoy :)

Discalimer: I don't own any content from the Harry Potter series, or Taylor Swift's music or lyrics. If I did I would be a very, very rich, blond country singer/british writer. That would be an awesome mix though!

It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet

Hermione walked along the rocky shore of the river. The wind made her hair even more unruly, and if she had been wearing makeup the spray from the water would have ruined it. But none of these things bothered Hermione, so she kept walking along the shore remembering…

September saw a month of tears,
An' thankin' God that you weren't here,
To see me like that

He had been her best and only friend growing up. He was her first crush and her first love. And now she faced a choice: her first love and childhood sweetheart, or the boy who infuriated her, but new the truth about her life. They were both her friends, but one embraced her immediately, while the other rejected her friendship cruelly at first before unthinkable events brought them together.

Hermione's first month at Hogwarts was not the best. In fact it was much like the start of her muggle school. She had no friends, and a lot of tears. She thought being a witch would change that, but it didn't. All she thought of was him, and how much fun they would have had at Hogwarts if he had been chosen too.

She hated Ron Weasley with his stupid red hair, and pretty blue eyes. He had everything she wanted at Hogwarts. He had family there, and he came from a line of witches and wizards, he had friends, he fit it. Unfortunately that was what attracted Hermione to him. She was drawn to his honest and forthright comments, but today that is what hurt her the most. Why did he have to say those cruel things to her? All she wanted was for him and Harry to accept her. But she would always have only one friend, and he would always be oblivious to this part of her life.

Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On back roads at night
An' I was right there beside him all summer long
An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone

She'd spent every summer with him. They'd done everything together. As children they would play together and explore his yard, or the area surrounding the cabin her family rented each summer. Once they were older, after her first year at Hogwarts, they began to explore further, spending everyday in and around the small town he grew up in. Once he was old enough to drive, they finally made it past the limits of the small town, and even though she had many adventures at Hogwarts, she never felt as free and spontaneous as she did when she was with him.

His truck was stuck again. What a surprise. But Hermione just laughed, and like usual turned to a reliable book, the car manual. She was flipping through it carefully, but felt his eyes on her. She tried to ignore it, but felt her neck and cheeks going red from the intensity of his glare. She met his eyes. They were intensely green and moving towards her. She lowered her gaze to his lips which were quickly approaching her own. She was unsure, he had been her only friend for so long, and now, she thought frantically, he wasn't her only friend or the only boy she cared for. Her concerns washed away the moment his lips touched hers. They were soft, warm, and familiar. As he moved them slowly against hers and wrapped his arms around her, Hermione felt that nothing had ever felt so right…but that wasn't right?

And I'm back for the first time since then:
I'm standin' on your street,

Hermione's feet had subconsciously led her back to the town square. She was so close to his house, and she shivered with anticipation. She hadn't seen him since they were sixteen, and she had left without saying goodbye , not knowing that she would not get to go back for another summer with him. Now she was grown, and soon to be married. This was a skeleton she needed to remove from her closet. She had hunted down Horcruxes, defeated Death Eaters, and contributed greatly to the fall of Voldemort. She deserved a peaceful life, one where she was not guilty for her relationship with him, and where she could get married without secrets from her past to haunt her.

An' there's a letter left on your doorstep,
An' the first thing that you'll read:

You wouldn't recognize me now.

I am older, wiser, and happier than I was when I last saw you.

You were my first friend, my first kiss, and my first love.

And even though I have moved on with my life and hope you do too,

I will never forget you.

Hermione Granger

As Hermione drove across the town limits, she caught a glimpse of a boy with dark green eyes holding hands with a pretty brunette. And she hoped they had what Hermione and her first love did not get. But what Hermione did have with Ron.

A/N: Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas for the other songs on the album.
