I have heard a simple explanatin of this.  While the others in
Hagrid's hut were reviewing and signing the exection order, Dumbledore
was standing by the window observing the doomed beast and hatching his
great idea of sending H&H back to rescue it.  So he had the idea hours
earlier than he sent out H&H but he knew what was happening and he was
there at the window acting like nothing wa going on outside and ready
to redirect anyone who got too close.  When I read the book, I thought
they were just lucky that they wern't seen, but now that Dumbledore
has a more active role, I see it wasn't just luck.

  This has me thinking:  did Dumbledore have a Time

I thought of this but I don't like it because Dumbledore's time loop
would be different than the kids and I can't visualize two
interconnecting time loops that make sense.  But just because I can't
see it doesn't mean it can't happen, it's just a tad too complicated
to be easily believed.
