Teachers messing up.

go up the hierarchy, laddie, talk to the boss.

I will if she refuses. But before I even ask her, tell me, am I being reasonable?

Not really. If your performance continues to go up as you're saying it will, then the extra weight your later tests and assignments get from making up more of your grade than they otherwise would will more than compensate.

And in any case you're not being honourable. Your grade is supposed to reflect your ability; you're asking for your grade to be made to reflect something higher than your actual ability, as some kind of remuneration.

Two hours' work is less than $20. Would you expect to be able to pay $20 and get 100%, or would you consider that bribery?

Someone's cost you $20 and you now know something that can embarrass them or harm their career, and you're asking to be given a higher grade or you'll make sure everyone knows about it. How is that not blackmail?

You talk as if your precious 2 hours was stolen. You learned something from working on the assignment, didn't you? Is it knowledge that'll help you later on in the class?

I'm kinda confused about the specifics of this, but an automatic perfect score just seems problematic. Even with the assignment omitted, there's an incentive for a below-average or failing student to intentionally destroy or sabotage their own project, in a way that can appear blameless. Wherever she keeps the papers, I'm sure someone could sneak in while she was using the bathroom, remove a couple of papers, and then act outraged when she can't find the missing assignments.

I don't know what the solution is here, but it's got to be something that balances generosity with caution. I certainly wouldn't worry about this one assignment causing me to fail the course, or even drop a letter grade.

be polite
say you are not satisfied with that result
if she says no, then go over her head

You could possibly ask for an extra credit assignment to complete, if you are seriously this worried about your grades. It may be extra work, but that's more palatable for the teacher than some kid thinking they are entitled to a grade they can't achieve.
