Much was happening as it always did when it involved Arcomantulas. Jaws always made sure to stay clear of them despite them not being remotely interested in Thestrals as a food source. Yet when the lovely small inhabitants of Hogwarts unfortunately came into proximity of Acromantulas, his first instinct was to run headlong into the danger to protect them without thought.
Just Sort him into Gryffindor.
The two young humans he was shepherding out of harm's way didn’t seem to be able to see him. That was a good thing. It meant they had not seen any death. Jaws pawed at the ground as the two professors battled it out with the Acromantula. He may be brave but he was also nervous about others showing up. That would make it far more difficult for escape to happen.
Yet there was a moment of such which came shortly after. As the Forest filled with screeches, Jaws flared his wings. He too knew what to expect with that sound.
That was why when Khanna gave the words the little Thestral positioned himself behind the students. He began ushering them towards the gates and willingly using his skeletal body as a shield from any Acromantulas coming up from their home deep in the Forest. During the process his snout may have connected gently with each student’s shoulder.
A literal nudge to hurry along, little humans!
