Oakey took just a few more steps back and stayed behind the Head Master. If instructed to help in anyway Oakey would jump right to it. He felt this would be unlikely though, out of everyone that ways here Kurumi or Arya would be the first on the job because of their age and prefect-iness. While Oakey would be turning 13 in just a few months his status no where near theirs.

He lifted his head from his thoughts then watched as Professor Williamson lured the Hippogriff back into the Forrest . It didn't look like his or anybodies help would be needed what so ever. This would have been a good indicator that Oakey wasn't needed but he stayed.
