"What the bloody hell is he talking about?" Harry asked while Hermione was fumbling to grab hold of her Time Turner. She pulled Harry close towards her as he flung the chain around his neck too. 

"What are you doing," Harry asked her, but there was no time for her to answer him. She turned the hourglass around three times just as Dumbledore instructed her. Soon the world began to start to blur into colors and shapes rushing past them before coming back to focus again. Hermione remove the Time Turner from Harry's neck as she tried to get her surroundings. They were in the entrance hall that was deserted and now streaming with sunlight. 

"What the--" Harry started but Hermione grabbed him and pulled him in the cupboard because she knew that they were coming down the hallway in some time but they wouldn't know because they were under the Invisibility Cloak. 

"What is going on," Harry whispered to her. 

"We've gone back in time... three hours back... I think I hear something... it might be us.... yes it's us! We're to Hagrid's hut." Hermione mumbled, listening to the outside world till it would be safe for them to pop right out, "We've gone down the front steps..." 

"Where did you get that hourglass thing?" Harry asked her. 

"It's a Time Turner. I found it in my Grandma's attic. It was created by Rose's friend, Dorothy. She was brilliant at her age as well. Hand-crafted and charmed this by her own hand. This is how I've been getting to classes." Hermione explained before she motioned for Harry to follow behind her as they headed down to Hagrid's. Of course they stayed mostly near the sidelines of the Forbidden Forest in order to avoid being seen by themselves. Soon they found their way behind a the wall of pumpkins in front of Hagrid's Hut and peered over them. Hermione watched as they were talking to each other. 

"This is the weirdest thing we've ever done," Harry mumbled. 

"We need to move... get nearer to Buckbeak! But not free him yet, the Committee people have to see Buckbeak or else they'll think Hagrid had set him free!" Hermione advised him while they slowly proceeded closer. She could see her past self going to get another milk jug where she would find Scabbers. She saw Harry seeming ready to jump over the pumpkins and rushed inside. 

"Don't--- even-- think-- about it!" Hermione shot at him. 

"We'd only be seen by ourselves and Hagrid!" 

"Harry! You go in there, you could get yourself killed! Your past self would he's gone mad or think there was some Dark Magic going on! Awful things happen to people who meddled with time... it's why it's against the law for people to do it." Hermione stated to him as she spotted the Committee member, Macnair, Dumbledore, and Fudge walking down towards them. 

"We're about to come out!" Hermione breathed while watching Hagrid's back door open and the three of them proceeded out the door and heading away while Dumbledore and his group headed inside Hagrid's hut. 

"Where's the beast?" Macnair asked without even trying to sound at all kind. 

"Out--outside," Hagrid croaked. Macnair glanced outside the window to ensure he was in fact there before turning back towards Fudge, mentioning about reading an official notice of execution.

"This are chance, let's go!" Hermione told Harry as they scurried around towards Buckbeak while they were listening in to ensure they had time. 

"It is the decision of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures..." Fudge went on and on. 

Hermione and Harry hurried over toward Buckbeak as Harry began bowing his head while Hermione was watching out for any sign they could be making a move to leave the hut.
