Wait, can you use a time-turner to go back, pick up something and return to the present? In that case you can keep something permanently hidden outside of time, except for a minute every 6 hours as you pick it up and drop it off.
I’m reasonably certain time turners can’t jump you forwards in time. So far as I can tell everyone who’s used a time turner has taken the ‘long path’ to catch back up with their most advanced present.
Harry can return to the present via the long route, if necessary. It doesn’t appear that anyone bothered to check for extra Harries in the morning, so he wouldn’t need to do anything more exotic than hide in the washroom before the previous Harry iteration got there in order to fool the Professors.
For indefinite qualities of “permanently”—it sounds like it’s got the same sort of vulnerability as those embezzling schemes that fall apart if the embezzler is sick for a while.
I don’t have specifics, but it’s something like the embezzler being in charge of the accounting. so that scheme holds up as long as no one else looks at the books. Sensible companies have enforced vacations for anyone who has that sort of responsibility.

How do those work?
I ask only out of curiosity!
