>> how after the fact of no executions, Dumbledore commanded Hermione
to use her TimeTurner to save those two lives.

> What do you mean by "after the fact of no executions"? DD sent H&H
back in time not *after*, but *before* - ten or fifteen minutes
*before* Sirius was supposed to be executed.

> Shelley:
If Buckbeak had not been executed, (because he was saved by H&H), and
the execution of Sirius was still 10 or 15 minutes off, is not that
then "no executions"? At that point in time that Dumbledore is
speaking to Hermione, by your theory, that statement is true- a
> future execution hasn't happened yet.


June:
Absolutely, someone finally says what I've been trying (but unable
to figure the best way) to say. Just for the record though, everyone
has been saying that Sirius was scheduled to be executed, that is not
so. In fact if I am correct I believe the executioner had left by the
time they caught Sirius. Fudge had sent for the Dementors who were
supposed to use the Dementors' kiss on Sirius. That is that they were
going to suck out his soul and he would be soulless but still alive.
