Oakey had a knack for Runes, why wouldn't he since he had studying them so intensely all semester long. Gripping his hand around Laura's shirt tighter to make sure his extra eyes wasn't going to leave him he spoke up to the group. "Can I get a look at the runes too? I could help some."

The latter wouldn't be a problem to any of them since it was the main runic alphabet taught in Hogwarts. Her head turned toward professor Cerulean as she summoned a parchment and a quill, "I.. uhh.. didn't really see them clearly." But she held on to the summoned items, they definitely needed those.
Was the library too crowded than usual, by the way? Louisa was distracted momentarily by the students answering to the librarian's and Cerulean's orders. Huh. Interesting.
KJDSHG. The brooch with the ghosts in it! Louisa fumbled a bit before holding it steadily between her two fingers. "Okay." Louisa glanced at Nessie and the others who didn't offer to help with the runes and wondered if they could help with this books research.
She turned herself toward Sierra, the brooch extended between them and allowed her to see closely. Professor Cerulean could come and see too when she was done with the other students. "Yeah, sure. It's the Elder Futhark alphabet. I think we can handle it," Her voice was more lively than before with hope. "It is odd..." Was he distracting them with this? Grumble grumble.
Either way, they had to go on with their mission. Louisa held the quill to the parchment, her mouth forming a faint smile when Sierra said she had an idea. "Me too. I think we should write down those on the parchment and match them with their transliteration. What's your idea?"
"Hey Oakey." The head girl maneuvered the brooch in her hand so that it faced the boy. "These are pretty much basic runes."
Oh, hey--it's Oakey Gunter!
Sure, the kid was a Puffer, but Sierra would be lying if she said she didn't think Oakey was pretty cool. She'd known him for a few years now, and yeah...he was an alright kid.
"Yeah, cool," she said, gesturing for Oakey to come join them. If they were going to battle against a man-eating plant and a control-freak ghost, they'd need a bigger army than just two or three people.
Sierra eyed the brooch in Louisa's hands. She was glad the Headmistress handed it to
her. There was no way Sierra wanted to touch that thing. What if they got sucked inside?! She got a closer look at it, thinking about the four house ghosts locked inside. She sort of missed them...
"What's my idea?" she said, repeating what the Head Girl just said.
"Well, simply put... ...I think we need to unleash a load of cats on this thing." Isfret, she meant. She looked at the others, wondering if they'd pick up why she said what she said.
