"Why are you insisting that you watch over them yourself, Billy? I know that you found them, so that means that the rights are yours," Hermione said, leaning against the counter.

But... if we're talking about practicality, we both know that I have a wealth of knowledge about magic, and that I have the ability to research more with every passing day. So there must be some reason other than practicality that you're insisting on keeping these items within your own possession."
