"oh please not again.." you mumbled, glancing awkwardly around the common room. if they'd found out you lost your wand, surely you'd be given many looks of disappointment by your housemates. you see, you weren't exactly the most organized person, and with that came many lost objects over time. parchments with finished essays left in the library, articles of clothing disappearing and reappearing frequently, and your biggest issue; misplacing objects. you were known by the school as (debatably) the most unorganized student in all of hogwarts, though you argued that was an exaggeration. nonetheless, there was one object in particular you were notorious for losing, and that was your wand. you could recall several situations in which you'd lost it; it was seemingly a daily occurrence at this point.
looking back a few weeks, to a particularly early morning on which you were feeling extra sleepy. you splashed some water gently on your face in hopes of some refreshment, though it didn't help nearly as much as you'd hoped. nonetheless you still had classes to attend, and groaning quietly, you proceeded to get dressed and grab your wand, plopping down on the black sleek sofa and waiting for your boyfriend's arrival. you were half asleep when he walked in, tapping you lightly on the shoulder. you smiled at him sleepily and got up to leave with him, when he paused and looked at you wish an amused smirk. "forgetting something?" you frowned, looking around and shrugging at your boyfriend, who only laughed in return. he reached over the sofa, picking up your wand and dangling it in front of your face, watching you pout and snatch it back. "let's just go get some breakfast, yeah?" nodding, you took his hand in yours and allowed him to pull you out of the common room.
you'd wished that was the only time you lost your wand. another instance only took place two days prior.
you were hard at work in the library after a long day of classes. you'd been sitting with draco and blaise, all three of you attempting to get ahead on some homework for various classes. you'd promised to meet up with pansy before dinner, so politely excusing yourself, you left the boys and headed to your common room to find your friend. it was only when the two of you had decided to head to the great hall that you'd noticed the absence of your wand. you weren't too worried about it, considering your mind was focused on the food awaiting you. when you'd arrived, your boyfriend carried that same knowing smirk on his face, and instantly you knew what it meant. "darling, it's a miracle you haven't fully lost your wand by now." he said, shaking his head as he placed your wand next to you. you turned bright red, as all your friends nodded in agreement. "i'll take better care of it! just you wait!"
you'd done so well since the last incident; ever since you'd made the pledge to take more caution with your wand, you'd done exactly that. not because you particularly cared, but more so you were tired of being teased by draco and your friends because of it. your wand had been kept in your sight constantly for the past two days, that was, until now.
it was a casual evening in the slytherin common room, but after a particularly eventful quidditch match, there happened to be some students lingering in the room longer than usual. 'just my luck..' you thought. you'd been so proud of yourself, but knowing you, it was bound to happen sooner or later. you'd just hoped it would've lasted longer, or at least happened when it wasn't so busy and where everyone would know you've lost it again. but here you were, and unfortunately for you, the last person you wanted to be present, was sitting casually with his arms stretched out along the back of the sofa next to you.
you did your best to unnoticeably shuffle around the room, slowly making your way over to the sofas, discreetly glancing around the room in hopes of catching a glimpse of your wand. much to your dismay, it was nowhere to be seen. you nearly went back up to your dorm to search there (for the third time), when your boyfriend called you over. "y/n, come sit!" his tone was light, though there was another meaning behind his speech. you casually made your way over, trying not to give away the fact you'd somehow managed to lose your wand for seemingly the millionth time.
draco wore his usual smirk on his perfectly sculpted face, though there was a hint of a look you couldn't figure out. you sat down next to him, leaning your head on his shoulder while he wrapped an arm around you, you trying to act as if nothing were wrong. your friends continued on with their conversation as you cuddled up to your boyfriend, everyone unphased by your actions. though you could tell draco was dying to tell you something, he didn't mention anything though so you let it go, assuming he'd tell you when the two of you were alone. you stayed like this for awhile, simply listening as your friends chatted away, drifting off on your boyfriend's shoulder.
you felt yourself being gently shaken awake, blinking your eyes in a feeble attempt to adjust to the warm light being reflected from the fire in the room. "y/n, wake up." you groaned, rubbing your eyes and looking up at draco, who you quickly realized was the only person left in the room. you smiled sleepily at him, sitting up to face him. he smiled at you, "you should head to bed." he said lovingly, brushing a strand of hair out of your face. you nodded, leaning over to give him a quick kiss on the lips before standing up, stretching your arms and stepping towards the girls' dorms. "y/n?" draco called, you letting out a small "hm?" and turning to face him, only to see him smirking evilly. "what is it, draco?" you sighed, an expectant expression on your face.
he laughed at your figure, finding your sleepy state quite adorable. "have you.. lost anything recently?" he asked, watching your expression drop into one of shock. "n-no?" you stuttered, clearly taken aback by his accusation. with that same knowing smirk, (which you were really growing to hate) he pulled your wand out of his back pocket. "are you sure about that, my love?" you pouted, reaching out for your wand, but before you could snatch it back, draco wrapped an arm around you, pulling you into him and kissing you, quickly but passionately. "you're so cute when you pout, you know that?" you looked at him, fighting the smile trying to sneak its way onto your face as best you could.
you allowed him to pull you into a tight hug, leaning your head on his chest and hearing his heartbeat in a slow and steady rhythm. "it's a good thing i keep you around, merlin knows where my wand would be without you." you murmured, feeling his chest vibrate with his laughter. "don't you worry y/n. for as long as you'll keep me, i'll make sure whatever you lose, whether it be your wand or something else, will always be found." with a last kiss and goodnight, you went your separate ways and as you fell asleep that night, you couldn't help but think how lucky you were to have someone like draco to keep balance in your life. and you didn't plan on letting him go anytime soon.
