When Nate heard the professor say that he took out a bandana. He always carried it around in case of emergency. He put his wand in his holster. Then put the bandana in the palm of his hand. He folded it into a triangle and put it around his mouth. Then he tied it fast and tight. He then reached back down and grabbed his wand. Hopefully that would keep him from talking. If he talked he would then tie it tighter. Nate got ready to send any type of spell at the monster just in case.
