Typical of a dumb animal to be squawking at him when he was trying to save its life. Typical of him to be caught in a situation like this at Hogwarts. Could he say he expected anything less?

Whatever it was was getting closer and the man was beginning to lose the feeling in his legs. If the sound was getting louder but nothing was coming into sight then it spoke volumes about what it could have been. Needless to say, none of the options appealed to him. Another thing that did not appeal to him was suddenly being lifted and...well quite frankly this was kidnap.

"Help!" He cried in the same overly shrill voice as the day he'd seen something by his hut. "Help! This creature's lost its mind an' wants t' make off with me! Help! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!"

While they moved, he heard the movements in pursuit, dragging along in the snow. It was hard at first with his own screams and hollers and eventual wailing getting in the way but he heard it and that had him changing his tune quick as that. "I's after us! Heeeeelllpppp! Goin' t' eat us alive! Merlin! Somebody! Anybody!"

The man clung tightly to the creature, hoping against all else that it was faster than anything that might have been after them while he sobbed and wailed openly for anyone to hear. It shouldn't have to end like this. The man refused.
