Hermione

May 4, 2003, 11:00 a.m.

The long, dark wooden desk thudded as Ron and Harry directed it over the gravel and in through the double doors. The thing was massive, and Hermione hadn't the foggiest why Harry insisted on bringing it from his office.

"Why not shrink it?" she called, dusting her hands on the worn, purple apron George had unceremoniously plunked over her shoulders when they'd entered the shed. The faded "WWW" logo on the pocket peeled at the corner.

Together, the lot of them had sorted, shrunk, and packed away the numerous muggle devices lining the center shelves. They had half the tables to go, along with the high shelving that lined the back and left sides, where clutter was quite tightly packed against the wall.

"It's better not to risk it," Harry shouted back. Hermione's brow furrowed.

"Is it?" Ron asked tersely, eyes fixed on the dark wood. A piece of spello-tape was coming loose from the top drawer, and Harry rushed forward to secure it back into place. "All I'm saying is this is larger than the Ministry desk we replaced it with." His wand arm strained as they waited at the shed entrance. "You moving the bloody car?" he shouted.
