Why would Harry not send his Patronus to Dumbledore, or McGonagall in order to alert them that Hermione was in danger?

Mostly I think he was panicking. But I think he had reason to believe that they wouldn't react quickly enough and/or would force him not to look for Hermione.

Why would he not immediately time-turn

This I'm less clear about.

"It wasn't 3pm yet so he couldn't reach this now using his Time-Turner"

Maybe he'll save her after 3pm.

Wait. I'm reading that again.

"This now?"

What emergency caused him to tap out using his time-turner on Thursday, anyway?
