[ Asking the woman's name might be important, or even telling her neither of them are her mother - but so it getting her freed. That was the plan. Once on the ground, she goes for one of the chains holding her legs - the shackle attached to her left leg first - and fits the key through the lock, carefully twists, and unlocks it.
Feet first, for many reasons: if they release her hands first, she might fall on her fact expecting her legs to be released as well; if she is dangerous at all, and they both live to regret this, at least the arms will be released last and let them know.
So, left leg first - and when nothing happens, and the woman stays patiently silent, Hermione moves on to the right one to unlock it too. ]
