All other shouts were lost on Toby, his mind was only on one thing. But he'd barely gotten halfway over the fence before suddenly he was being dragged right back again. NoooOOOOOOOOOOOOO. He had to get OVER THERE.

With an expression that was some bizarre mixture of indignant and distressed, Toby looked again at Javy, who directed his attention to Monty. With a desperate look back after Henry, Toby considered his options, but after seeing the patronus fly off and remembering Monty's distress, the decision was easily made. The seventh year simply gave a silent nod and hurried over to his Hippogriff friend. Once again, he got up onto the fence, but this time only to give himself a bit of extra height so that Monty might notice him better.

"Animalis Fidelis," Toby cast at the creature, not sure how necessary the spell was but not wanting to risk him getting more upset. Then he bowed at Monty again, even though he'd already done it mere minutes ago. Just, y'know, doing anything he could that might help.

He kept his eyes on Monty even when everyone else spoke. Toby wanted to add that the Hippogriffs had been stamping their feet a lot, but he didn't really trust himself to say anything out loud just yet, feeling that his voice might crack and his eyes would start to sting and tear up more than they already were. In fact, Toby didn't look away from the Hippogriff until he heard it. It was very faint, and he might have believed he was imagining it were he not specifically keeping an ear out for any sounds coming from that direction (ideally Hippogriff footsteps headed back their way).

Screams. Faint and unintelligible to his ears, but shrill and desperate and definitely not the kind of sound you wanted to hear, especially not from that direction.

Toby sent a panicked look back at Javy. "Did you hear that? We have to go over there," he said desperately, his voice breaking, overcome with emotion. He had definitely heard something, and if he could hear it from here then it was definitely screaming. Maybe the Groundskeeper? Didn't the professor say that was who was over there getting Henry? "Like right now. We need to." They couldn't LEAVE them. C'mon c'mon c'mon thEY NEEDED TO MOVE.
