> Bart:
> <snip>:
> 
> Hour zero - Harry informs Snape about the problem. 
> 00:15 - Hermione tricks the Toad.
> 00:20 - Snape determines that Harry was sent a fake message. Does
not yet send out a general alert.
> 00:30-01:00 - Snape is informed as to Hermione's plan; the earlier
time is if he goes to the Toad's office, the later time is assuming
that he was called in to help by the slitherings (does Draco have a
cousin Ralfoy who is always telling jokes?). 
> 1:20 - H&H are saved from the centaurs by Grawp.
> 1:40 - Dumbledore's Army of Five Fighting Youngsters start gathering
Thestrals.
> 2:00 - DAFFY is on their way. 
> 2:00 - Snape figures that even Harry could have outsmarted Toadie by
now. 
> 3:00 - 4:00 DAFFY arrives at the Ministry
> 4:00 - Snape, realizing that the DAFFY's have gone to the Ministry,
says "Oops!" and alerts them. 
> 4:20 - The daffies start fighting the deathies.
> 4:30 - The deathies take one look and also say, "oops!"

Neri:
If you assume Hour Zero = 7:30 PM you'll find a pretty good match with

BTW, they were six youngsters, not five.
