Benji had been over at the Hufflepuff table checking in with Penny, but he could sense that things were going to begin soon. He made his way back over to his own table, taking in the sight of the new first-years and... pink thing? What... was that? A bunch of people seemed to be fawning over it. Benji felt a little more cautious. It was cute, but that probably meant it was hiding something... Right?!

No matter. He'd observe from afar. He took a seat nearby Jackson and Drewett, saying a quick, "Hey," to them both. He smiled at a few other familiar faces, offering a wave here and there.

...But seriously, what was that pink thing?! He couldn't help but lean in a little closer to see. But not close enough to touch it!! No way. But it looked so soft and cuddly... But NO! It was probably evil! It had to be. Right? But it was so cuuuuuute! And then it was... Gone? Huh.
