9:00 PM only  happens once, but the events taking place at 9:00 
change. Before HH went back in time, there was not footsteps, later 
it changed so timeline changed to include HH footsteps. We only see 
the changed version of events, wich include footsteps.

One linear unbiased neutral timeline, multiple instances, what 
Talisman said. Hermione ages, that's clear, I don't see how it 
contradicts multiple instances.

Harry couldn't have arrived at 9pm if dementorized.

And one thing that would happen is you don't die, because there is 
no future-self to kill you after you are dead. As you die, all your 
future actions vanish, killing included. What I don't know is how 
the mage can remember, to know better than to kill himself the 
second time.
