Benjy's jaw clenched when he stepped closer and he was able to see the damage done. His fists tightened, the one carrying his wand almost snapping the piece of wood. She did look horrible, but he knew her well enough to not say something so insensitive, especially at a time like this.

"Nah, you've looked better, but it doesn't look as bad as I thought it would," he said, semi-telling the truth. Her arms -- they made him cringe and shake his head.

"How're you feeling?" he asked her, pulling the chair up beside her bed and taking a seat.

"Now that's hardly true." He gave her a small smile, sitting back in the chair and trying hard not to look at her arms. It was obvious they had been worse the night before; the potions and ointment being used on them had helped them heal quite significantly. However, he didn't doubt she'd scare and frowned at the thought.

"Yeah, but they're necessary," he said in the potion's defense. "They'll make you better in no time and you'll soon be up and able to kick my arse when I piss you off."

It was unnerving seeing her like that. He'd never seen her outside of her normal snarky self. Shaking his head, he looked into her eyes. "Either you do or you don't," he said, looking at her intently. "Please say yes," he pleaded, prepared to do whatever necessary to keep her safe if she said no.

He nodded. "Damn right I will," he said, giving her a small smile when he saw her try to grin. He pulled her into a final hug before helping her ease back onto the bed, hoping he didn't hurt her in the process.

Still sitting on the edge of her bed, he looked down at her. "I'll talk to Lily as soon as I get back and one of us will talk to Dumbledore for you and somehow get into your dormitory to get your things," he said, already planning out how they were going to do that.
