"Lalonde," she clarified for him that she was indeed the person who had texted him an hour prior. Her lips curled at their ends into a polite smile, embellishing respect upon the tone of her voice to the wizard of many years. He was really everything she had expected and more, at least on the count of one archetype. Watching him in action, addressing the young wizards, was as flipping through the pages of an intriguing novel; a character coming to life before her.

"I hope you do not consider it out of term, perhaps even egregious, for me to seek your opinion on the matter which has drawn my attention. Would it be correct of me to assume that, as the spell has removed us from our own areas of space and time, transferred to this one, that we now exist outside of our original universe's temporal envelope?"

Her eyes squinted gently for a moment, allowing Snape ample time to consider the complexity of her statement.

"That is to say, time in the original universes of those drafted is of no consequences here, and upon our eventual return, we would resume at the exact point in time we found ourselves levied?"

Sorry for the delay, had to check for the answer to this XD

While the tone and wording of her question was more... elaborate than what Snape expected of a student, he refrained from showing any reaction to it aside from frowning slightly, more due to the question itself, rather than the person asking it.

"Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to that. One would hope that the Headmaster, in all his infinite wisdom, had the foresight of taking that into account so as to not further upset the fabric of time, but I cannot say until he tells us so himself."

And from the irritation in his tone, it was clear that Snape was not pleased with Dumbledore for this lack of information, even if it was nothing new.
