Javier had been feeling a mixed of feelings as of late, as if not already shown on his pensive facial expression. He had just about made his way into the Entrance Hall from his usual area. Perhaps he could pay some of his colleagues or better yet, his oldest son a visit. He had been giving him enough space lately after enough time under his scope .....

Or perhaps.. Just maybe a little too much space as his blue eyes focused on one specific before the other four and.. Merlin... All of these Acromantulas. His time to process this whole scene sped up when he recognised the distant clicking noise. There had to be more of them.

There was no time for fear as that was indistinguishable given the surroundings and stench. Acromantulas.. When there were this many dead ones, more were bound to come and fast. "Stay close to me all of you." No time for greetings and pleansaties. The Professor said in a low tone as he made his way over to the students, pulling them close with him.

Javier then drew his wand out, wherever they planned to come from they needed to go the opposite way or just blast their way through. No student was going to be mauled this term on his time.
