Hermione makes sure that any others who are trying to help out back away from the area where Horvath is excavating the stones away, watching his careful work with a nod. She keeps Horvath's pearl ring close to her chest, just in case they will need it.

She continues to guide Horvath with the mathematics to ensure the right stones are removed. Hermione hopes that even with this slow movement, they will reach the children in time. She has faith in both Horvath and Danny, and their magical abilities.

"Keep three stretchers close by." She tells a few of the volunteers who are still close by. "But do not enter this area, unless you are asked to."
