Welcome Dramione Swifties, and anyone willing to give this story a shot!! Besides school essays, this is my first real writing piece, so bear with me here.I just want to make a little note so that you guys can see where my brain is and we can all be on the same page. So imagine that 2024 Taylor Swift exists in 2004. The Tourtured Poets Department and everything before it exists in 2004 in this timeline. In this fic, Hermoine goes by the stage alias, Taylor Swift. Hermoine is Taylor Swift. So if you take all of the songs and remove the context of Taylor's life and replace it with Hermoine's life you have our story! Also, the songs are out of order for our timeline. For example, we could go from reputation to Speak Now to 1989 to Red. I will also be adding some backstory so that you can have context for the songs.I made some playlists for this story, so let me know if you guys would like the links to those! I can add the link in the chapter notes with the corresponding chapter. I will also add song specifics in the chapter notes. It may be awkward to forcefully write in a specific song, but I will likely have a particular one in mind for certain scenarios, so be sure to check.I am writing this on my own, so please try to excuse any grammar or punctuation errors! Feel free to drop a comment and let me know if you find any so I can fix it for any new readers.This all started when I was listening to my favorite Taylor songs after finishing one of my favorite fics, Amor Vincit Omnia, and this idea popped into my head! I needed to see this play out so I decided to create it myself. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.This work is lightly inspired by Amor Vincit Omnia by Twin_Flame_Blues. AVO is my favorite fic so when I was thinking of Hermione and Draco's backstory and relationship, I was very much inspired by that phenomenal piece, but rest assured that Notes of Affection is still its own story.
