"You know there's paperwork involved for spells like this," she scolds, reasoning that if it turns out to just be a mouse, what she says to it won't matter. And if it turns out to be one of the wizards, then the scolding is richly deserved; she has more important things to worry about than her employers shrinking themselves so they can creep about her office, of all places. "As acting manager, I'd be remiss in my duties if I didn't also point out that this is hardly the safest shelf for you to be creeping around. Quarkbeasts can climb, you know." Not well, but it's not inconceivable that it could make its way up the shelves.
The chair wobbles, and Jennifer shoves an old alarm clock a bit harder than she means to. It certainly wasn't her intent to block the hole a certain Borrower was creeping towards, but block it she does.
