Dumbledore knows they can save two innocent lives, meaning, I think, 
that he already know about Buckbeak's escape. The "unmistakable 
swish" and thump of the ax and a yell that the trio hears as they 
leave Hagrid's across the grounds under the Invisibility Cloak is 
described later after Harry and Hermione have already used the time 
turner and have Buckbeak with them, it is simply the executioner 
swinging the ax into the stump in frustration and the general babble 
that results. 
Buckbeak never died because Harry and Hermione saved him is a valid 
answer. It is possible *because* of the paradox of time travel. 
There is more support for this if you look back at PoA. When the 
trio are waiting for the great hall and entrance to be empty under 
the invisibility cloak in order to sneak out to see hagrid they hear 
hurried footsteps and a slamming door; we find out later that this 
was Harry and HErmione right after they had used the time turner and 
they run into a closet in order to *not* see themselves.  Then, of 
course, the biggest proof of the Buckbeak alive thing is the fact 
that Harry saw *himself* cast the Patronus, however it was himself 
already after using the time turner, so if your assumption that the 
Buckbeak thing being impossible (your "but how is that 
possible when they did not know to do this until later in the day" 
statement) is correct, then Harry would have recieved the dementors 
kiss (probably as well as Sirius and maybe even Hermione) and we 
would have had a *very* different story. 

Because it had already happened in the past, it *had* to happen in 
the future-the same way. Does that make sense? It does to me. Ahhh, 
the joys of the paradoxes of time travel!<<
 


I understand what you're saying and now it's starting to make me 
think how did everything originally happen?  What is the "original" 
story?  Did Harry, Sirius and Hermione die?  And who went back in 
time to save all of them?

Also, My mom and I have been thinking for a while now that history 
is repeating itself.  Since Pettigrew betrayed his friends, *maybe* 
Hermione or Ron will betray Harry.  But now I'm thinking of history 
repeating itself in a different way.  Obviously, Dumbledore knows 
what's going to happen.  He could be altering things that have 
happened in the past to make the right, or (since I've read some of 
the Merlin post) altering them to suit his "evil" purposes.

Greicy
with things that make me go hmmmm....
