Here’s a miserable plot possibility. Hermione was concealed, something went wrong, and the feeling of her mind going past was because a number of other things happened, and the concealed Hermione was killed.
This seems unlikely. This would end up sounding a lot like “don’t tamper with fate”. That sort of thing is very common in time travel stories where someone tries to save someone’s life, but it has a massively anti-transhumanist, pro-deathist vibe. I doubt Eliezer would do it.
I’m assuming that Hermione is going to be brought back somehow, so the implication isn’t that you can’t fight fate, it’s that the world has wildly complicated plot twists.
