Miserable lot? He wasn't sure what to make of that, but soon it was all forgotten when he'd told them what they would be doing... turn heads into pumpkins? Whose heads?

... could he disappear?

Trying to push the horrifying thoughts away for now, he focused on the professor's instructions, scribbling down everything he was saying, making sure he wasn't missing any details to make that task even more difficult later on. Then came the moment of carving out the top lid of the pumpkin, and he stared nervously at his wand, wondering if he could pull it off by himself, having never cast Diffindo before, although he'd read about it.

Hesitantly putting his hand in the air, he asked, "P-professor? Could you-could you please help me cut this?" Better ask the scary man than severe someone's limbs off on his first try.

Katy wasn't being particularly sullen, but rather focused, and thus quiet as she unpacked her bag and set up her copper cauldron. In spite of having cleaned everything before she left her dorm, the seventh year Slytherin gave her cauldron and equipment another quick cleansing with a flick of her wand. NEWT prep had begun, and Katy had every intention of getting as much out of this year as possible. It was sort of nice having a new professor this year, since it meant she had one last expert to glean knowledge from prior to graduation.

At the professor's instruction, Katy lit the fire under her cauldron and began working on her pumpkin. Strange to be cutting it like this, taking off the top and scooping rather than just cutting it down the middle, but there was surely a method to this particular madness. She carefully sliced out the stem with a Diffindo, and then began separating seeds and pulp.

And then was distracted by the lad off to one side. Poor baby ickles. It was hard to work a slicing spell when you hadnt learned it properly. "I can help, but you should practice the spell because it's dead useful. Diffindo," Katy cast at the top of his pumpkin, slicing neatly 3/4 of the way around the stem. "You do the rest. You can't ruin it. Just be careful and point where you want to cut."
