Magically Oblivious And Obedient

Summary: One faithful day was all it took. Hermione Granger could not help her curiosity and of course started to meddle in matters way beyond her understanding. It was just such a beautiful stone that this know-it-all just had to find out more about this profound artifact she had come upon. Not only does this stone have life changing repercussions, but it also brings the girl to learn more than she bargained for about Ron Weasley, Professor Snape, and Lucius Malfoy.

Chapter 1: The Stone

'Ask me again and it will be the last thing you ever do!'

That was the rampant thought continuously coursing through Hermione Granger's head nowadays.

It was one more week until the OWL exams for the fifth years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Hermione was at the end of her rope. She had been stressing obsessively to getting all her studying out of the way and practising the required charms and spells for the upcoming testing. If only she had any piece of mind left!

Every fifth year that saw her in the library or roaming the halls would constantly bombard her with questions and practically beg Hermione to help them with something or other. The worst yet had been Ronald Weasley.

The smartest witch of her age had been quietly revising her Potions notes when Ron had come barging through the hole leading into the Gryffindor common room. She had thought that he had already left to Hogsmeade Village with her other friend Harry Potter.

"Hermione, Snape is a downright arse!"Ron stated as he sat ungracefully on the couch next to his bookish friend.

"What is it now Ronald! Can't you see that I am studying! We have our OWL's in a little less than a week."The girl growled, being bothered yet again.

"I know all that Hermione! I just feel like we shouldn't stress it. Plus I know that you will commit every last second with a billion questions for me and Harry anyways."Ron said exasperatedly. "I also wanted to ask if you finally finished my Transfiguration essay?"

Hermione could not help but see red. This boy had the nerve to interrupt her precious studying time just to annoy her with such trivial matters. If Ron wanted something from her he knew that he would have it at a reasonable time!

"I am still working on editing it. It will be done by tomorrow in time for class!"Hermione all but yelled, startling Ron who looked affronted by her tone. "Why aren't you at Hogsmeade enjoying the nice weather with Harry? It is beyond me why you two never do your own work and should be studying.

Ron got over his shock and rolled his eyes at his friend's constant badgering.

"Snape saw me running in the halls after Harry and said I would get detention if I did not head back to my common room to study. The git really needs a hobby that does not consist of degrading anyone that is not from his own house. Who would ever want to be a Slytherin anyways?"Ron complained.

"For once you should listen to him. Grab a text book and sit down!"

"Hermione, I wanted to spend some time on my broom! Can't you just copy your notes and give them to me later?"

"Ron, you are unbelievable! Maybe if you actually paid attention in class and took proper notes, you might have actually learned something!"Hermione stated in frustration at this idiot boy. She just wanted to study in peace. If she wanted to waste her time, she would have gone to Hogsmeade with everyone else.

"Please Hermione! Your likely the only one who is more than ready for our OWL's."

Hermione huffed as she looked into Ron's pleading eyes. She always caved when she was faced with said eyes.

"Fine, I will write out my notes for you, but after this you had better not ask me for anything else ever again! If you so much as try, you will find me more threatening than Voldemort with all his Death Eaters by his side!"Hermione stated as she hastily started to put her books away.

"Where are you going?"

"I am going for a walk!"Hermione growled, slinging her bag over her shoulder and stalking past Ron to exit the common room.

Ron just internally sighed at Hermione's departure before whispering a sincere 'thank you' at the girls retreating form.

HGHGHG

'It really is a nice day.'Hermione thought as she walked through the grounds of Hogwarts. 'Maybe I can get some work done out here.'

Hermione walked slowly towards the black lake to sit under her favourite tree. It would provide her shade and hopefully would help her to keep her mind on her studies. She could not wait to get Ron off her back so she wanted to finish the essay then get started on the notes. She swore that she was too nice.

The Gryffindor know-it-all took a seat under the tree and started to rummage through her school bag. As she was biting her lip in concentration, looking for her Transfiguration notes in her bag, something on the ground caught her eyes. It was almost hidden behind the tree. Hermione slowly crawled towards this object and reached her hands out to touch it.

It was smooth and had a leaf symbol in the middle of it. Hermione knew it was a stone of some kind and started to rub her hands on it. She really liked the feel of this rock that was grey with a green leaf on it. 'This stone is beautiful! I wonder where it came from? I don't think I have ever seen anything like it before. Maybe I can look up what type of stone this is in the library?'Hermione thought with interest. She could sense a strange magic about this artifact and felt like she had to find out more. Even if it was only a detraction for her task at hand.

Rubbing it for the fifth time, Hermione suddenly felt frozen to the spot.

'What is happening? I can't move!'She thought in panic.

That was the last thing that popped into the girls head before a mysterious wave of unconsciousness fell over her mind. The thing she would regret not noticing later is the point of the stone glowing and making her body disappear into thin air.
