"Lovebirds, get up! They are searching the rooms," we heard Blaise knock on the door and running off.

Me and Draco confusedly looked at each other, probably having the same question in mind. What could they possibly be searching for?

Draco threw the blanket to the side and quickly put on his robe. Since I still wasn't feeling the best and the cold hadn't gone away yet, I just took the blanket, wrapped myself in it, and followed Draco to the door.

Everyone were in the corridors waiting for Snape and a couple of others to find something. Everyone was still in their pyjamas and were yawning with tiredness.

"Are you naked under there?" Blaise asked quietly with a surprised voice. "Snape is here Y/n," he said.

"I'm not naked," I showed her the clothes under the blanket. "What are they looking for?" I asked Ly and Hay who came to stand next to us.

"I heard some kind of Dumbledore's box with stuff was stolen and he's looking for it now," Ly explained what she had heard.

"What is so valuable about a box?" I whispered to Ly seeing that Snape and others were getting closer. "No idea," she shrugged. "Maybe something rare or just important. Or maybe something top-secret," she guessed.

Then it was time to search Draco's room. We were still standing in the doorway when Snape and others walked in. Other Slytherins also gathered to our door to watch them.

One of the searchers went through Draco's drawers and the other one through the closet. Snape first looked into the bathroom but there was nothing. He also looked under the bed and into the night table drawer but pretty quickly stood up and walked towards us.

He sent us both a weird suspicious look, right after walking through the door towards my dorm. I knew that I hadn't stolen anything so I didn't go look if they'd find anything there. Me and Draco went back to his room.

We both went to bed since it was Saturday morning. I brought the covers up to my chin and brought my knees up to my chest, trying to fall back asleep.

"I don't think they're gonna find anything in here. It's probably not one of the Slytherins," Draco said lying next to me. "I wouldn't be so sure," I was doubtful.

"Okay, good night," he smiled and closed his eyes to fall back asleep. "Night," I chuckled, although it was already early morning.

It was nice lying down next to him with his breath slightly fanning my forehead and a subtle scent of his cologne filling the room.

I felt safe and comfortable. Even his sheets felt expensive. His blanket was heavy and thick, so it was perfect now that I had cold.

"Open up!" We both jumped awake to a loud thud at the door.

We both got up and Draco went to open the door, while sending me a confused look. I stayed near the bed.

Snape right away ran in, but the others didn't follow him. They were kind of holding the other curious Slytherins back. Didn't really work, they were all at the door watching. I raised eyebrows wanting to hear if they found something or are they really accusing Draco.

"Are you kidding me Y/n?!" Snape came to me and said with a loud whisper. "What is this doing in your room?" He asked through his teeth, looking at me intensely, while pushing a brown wooden box with weird carvings on the lid against me.

I was staring at the box and then at Snape. What the heck was that supposed to mean? Did they actually find it in my things? What even is that thing?

"Answer me!" He raised his voice. I got scared and flinched a little taking a step back. "Why was this in your things?" He asked slowly but intensely.
