I think Harry might have been the one to secure Hermione’s body. He managed to convince McGonagall to remove the restrictions on his time turner. He probably used the time turner right after he was allowed to be by himself in the room with Hermione’s body. That would have given himself more time to think and act. He was also checking his wristwatch a lot, especially when he had to leave the room, and when he had interruptions.
In the scene where he convinces Dumbledore and the others that he doesn’t have Hermione’s body, we don’t get very far inside Harry’s head. It shows what he says and does, but not his thoughts. Also, he doesn’t spend a lot of time speculating about where Hermione’s body went, in later chapters.
I’m not sure where he would have put it though. Could he get out of Hogwarts to take her body elsewhere? Or is there a suitable place in the Hogwarts grounds where he could stash it? Would he have to keep visiting the body to renew the spell on her body to keep it cold, or could he figure out a muggle way to cool it, or a different magic way that didn’t need to be renewed?
