Hermione held onto him just as tightly, feeling safer and less destroyed in this place while in contact with him. But it was only a matter of time before they'd have to let go and actually get things moving, so they wouldn't have to stay too long. When he suggested the least personal things to start with, she agreed whole heartedly. Work their way up to the harder stuff. She let go of his hand and set her infamous beaded bag down on the coffee table for later use.
When the boxes appeared, Hermione got to work, deciding the best way to put off the pain of the job was to stay busy. She pulled books off shelves and laid them carefully into boxes, making a point to put ones she didn't have into a separate box, thinking she'd just add them into her personal library. She followed Ron into the kitchen area next and looked around, wondering what they were going to do with these things, since they held no real personal value. "Should we maybe donate some of these things? I'm sure there are people who can use them who would appreciate it, I know I don't need more glasses or plates."
