This is terrific! I love how well you used the prompt, and the short scenes set up the pace beautifully. A few lines stood out for me:

Ron wonders if his mum is still cooking for nine when there are only three to feed. Poor Molly, the forever mum, keeper of worries. :(

Ron tries to ignore Harry's sigh of relief.

I love that bit. Harry's anger is shown so well here! The fact that he's happy Snape suffered, and I adore that Ron knows this is the wrong time to talk to Harry about it.

The last two sections had me holding my breath as I read. Your warning of major character death had me so worried! Awesome, awesome stuff. Ron is very brave and is every inch a hero. Hee, and I loved Hermione's back-ups!

Hermione's backup plans were great. It is a really Hermione thing to do. The rest is lovely too. The last line was amazingly good.

All they know, all they can know is why they're here. Hermione, because Ron had a smudge on his nose and Quirrell let a troll in the dungeons. Ron, because of Harry. He has no answer to give beyond that, it revolves around Harry, Harry's at the center, and if Harry doesn't have an answer for that, how can they?

That part... just... and especially Ron's reason, it's just...

yeah.

Interesting way of arranging the time - very clever.

They did find Hermione, right?

I love the structure - make for an excellent use of the prompt. The snap-shots made a great build-up for that last scene. Wonderful job!
