Penny was genuinely excited to have a night with Benjy. At least a few hours. Well only a few hours, that was as long as she could go without seeing Newt, and she didn't want to put too much on Rose, either. Maybe she could message Charlie and get him to pick up Newt later if she and Benjy could get a bit longer together. But a date night!
Benjy was brilliant. He was brilliant with Newt, he was brilliant with Penny. And he was still working really, really hard at the moment whilst she was still on maternity leave, and Newt was a good boy. He didn't fuss a lot, he was easy to look after, so even with someone else looking after him, with a bit of 'me' time, she didn't know what to do with herself. A little trip to Diagon Alley, some new books, some fancy quills for Benjy, a couple of new clothes for Newt- that was a good day, Penny decided. And she got to spend the rest of the day with a very handsome man.
"Oh, well hello," she beamed as she walked in, looking around at the beautiful candles and enjoying the atmosphere. Penny leant in to Benjy and kissed him softly. "There's some presents in there for you. But we can- later-" she trailed off, because her boyfriend had obviously gone through a lot of effort and Penny was going to dedicate all of herself to whatever he had in store. "Something smells amazing."
