| Quote #10 "If you're going to tell the story, get a move on, Remus," snarled Black, who was still watching Scabbers's every desperate move. "I've waited twelve years, I'm not going to wait much longer." (18.26) |

| Quote #11 "What we need," said Dumbledore slowly, and his light blue eyes moved from Harry to Hermione, "is more time." (21.80) |

| Quote #12 Hermione turned the hourglass three times. |

We hear about sight, sound, and the crazy physical feelings that accompany time travel – it's like a super intense roller coaster ride. Done backwards. Props to Hermione for doing that a few times a day all freaking year.
