She shouldn't have been that surprised...but the point was, yes...Vesper was surprised.

Was the secrecy really necessary?

Though......................Gosh, she was blushing, Ves knew. Her face felt like a match had been tossed on it...and her notebook and quill had both fallen to the ground. Good thing she'd laid that blanket down...Doubly so.

"Benjy...." Stare. Her gaze shifted down to the hand carrying cookies. Well, that was okay, then. He hadn't come empty handed. Vesper was about to be concerned. Reaching over into her bag a moment later, she produced two butterbeers....Stolen from the kitchens. "...I should pinch you."

Pinching...because the Ravenclaw didn't believe in violence like punching and kicking. That was a bit much for her sensibility. No, she wasn't going to comment on his comments ether. Nope.
