Stuck inside with Sirius | *Splish-Splash* | bamBAM | ☁ Spooktacular ☁

Benjy tilted his head curiously at her question. "Nah, don't see why it would. I've had Flipper since I was eleven...and I've been eating chocolate frogs far longer than that." He shook his head lightly, before biting the head off the chocolate frog in his head. "It's all the people and space...the freedom to explore."

Like owner...like toad...?

Benjy took another munch of chocolate frog, before offering the girl the box. Just for ONE, mind. "So, what is your name?" he asked. "I did think 'Chicken Coop' was kind of harsh." He eyed the boy that called her that carefully. Benjy was a seventh year, and he wasn't afraid to use that fact if necessary. Calling people names wasn't nice, and he was the protective sort, see?

As for Flipper, Benjy gave an awkward chuckle. "A lame joke, actually. I couldn't come up with a good name, and then my cousin shouted out Flipper...and that was that. Wouldn't respond to anything else." He grinned at his amphibian friend, before putting him on his shoulder. Just in time too, as that kneazle was looking overly friendly right now. The girl looked like she had him under control, and Benjy had good faith in his toad, but it was still better not to take the risk.

"Well, tell him toad is definitely off the menu," Benjy said seriously. "Though I don't think they actually eat them, just pat them around a bit."
