Oakey didn't really have a desk to return to so he just turned aroud on the floor sitting criss-cross and listened to Botros explain the pendants.
He turned his around and saw the three runes inscribed on the back. This pendant was never leaving his neck ever!

Then Professor Botros was asssigning them their Homework, and reminded him of the extra task he was to for next class. "Professor it's Oakey, Oakey Gunter." He picked up his bag of ruined books and comics and headed towards the door when he overheard Alyssa offer to help clean up. "Professor, I know you said you won't need help, but I wrecked a desk. Is there something I could do...that doesn't involve walking crups?"
He eyed West Odessa and smiled a small possibly evil smile. If Sophie had trouble with the class, and didn't understand most of what was going on in class, he could use this Sytherin who was just as enthusiatic about this class as he was instead.

Oh right, he should probably help Sophie study as well.
