Day 2: Write about a character who has lost something.

Hermione/Remus
"Thievery"
"Hermione?"
A muffled cry sounded from downstairs.
"What is it?" she called, not wanting to lose her place in the novel she was reading.
"It's important!"
Sighing, Hermione put down her book, marking her place, and made her way to the kitchen, where she'd heard Remus calling her before. "What wrong?"
His face was tight, panicked, and Hermione's heart sank in her chest. "What is it?" she repeated, now worried.
"I've lost it- somewhere-"
Remus turned back to the cabinet that he appeared to have been searching. Mugs were scattered across the counter, and a pile of dishes ware was haphazardly stacked on the very edge. Hermione immediately grabbed the stack and brought it to her own counter, far away from the disaster zone her husband had created.
"What did you lose?" she pressed. "Maybe I know where it is."
Remus slowed his searching. "Maybe you do..." He walked towards her, eyes narrowing, but she fended off the attack with a giggle, causing him to slump into a chair in defeat.
"Oh, shut up. Now, I now what it is. Only one thing makes you this crazy."
He nodded sheepishly. "My chocolate is gone."
"Well," she said, planting a kiss on his cheek, "I certainly didn't take your chocolate."
"But you know something," he pressed. "Hermione, please!"
She laughed. "There may have been a visiter yesterday. I may have let him into the kitchen with the impression that he was getting himself a glass of water..."
Remus stood bolt upright, fists clenched by his sides. "Sirius!"
"I'll buy you some more chocolate," she said, trying to placate him. "Don't get into anything with Sirius."
He wasn't listening, heading out of the room with his wand pointed away from him. "This has happened too many times. For once, I'm going to strike back."
"Remus, no!"
There was no answer.
"Remus!"
