It was hard to figure out what was going on with the rescue part of the team because his focus was on the shield and the monster itself. The man had full faith in the others but he also felt as though this was taking longer than it should. Or was this just nerv-

NO!

His eyes widened as he looked between the monster and the now injured Kitty and Mr Thomas-Borzekowski. The scene, one that had been bad enough already what with the kidnapping, had suddenly turned into an even worse kind of nightmare the moment the creature's claws made contact with the two students. Cancel that, three students now that it had struck again at Natalia.

Hirsch was glad that Regina was there because he wasn't sure what he could say that would be appropriate in front of the students. Any swearing could, probably, be forgiven given the circumstances but still. Eyes narrowed behind his glasses, the man found that the rising anger on behalf of his hurt students was driving more of the shield forward than anything else. It was now or never, right?

As people filtered out of the room, the Defence Professor found himself backing further and further towards the door. There was no time to look behind him to check on the students but he did hope they had enough sense to know to run for it rather than staying back to 'enjoy the show'. When it looked like no other students were in the room, aside from the ones casting the shield spells, the man felt safe enough to head out of the room himself. Backwards. He was not letting this creature out of his sight.

And then it got worse.

Again.

The barrier, the shield, their one protection, had given way and there was nothing saving them from the clutches of the monster. Or, it would have if the monster hadn't decided to go and crawl along the ceiling, instead. While that made the firing of spells and escaping task rather difficult, it wasn't entirely impossible. Not when the students were smart enough to use fire spells to their advantage during this task.

Hirsch himself shot a few Incendio Trias up towards the monster overhead. There was a sense of rhythm going on: shoot some fire-based spells (because those had worked for Natalia and the others), run for a while and urge the students to do the same, and then shoot a few more spells. His mind was racing faster than his feet, however, and he had an idea in the back of his head that, well, was likely to work but was also incredibly dangerous considering how many students were still present.

Here went nothing.

In a desperate attempt to get the students to get out of there, the Ravenclaw Head of House conjured a lasso of fire and held it up towards the creature. It wasn't aimed directly at it, more along the path in front of it so as to stop it from following them any further ahead. If it worked, then he was going to be delighted. If it didn't........ there were other tactics.

But for now, they needed to get out of here. Quickly!
