“Pumpkin, Alyce,” he reminded in a stern voice. Seriously, could these kids not deal with direct instructions?
Huh? She already got her pumpkin. Didn't the Professor see her carrying it? It's very hard to miss. "Already got it, Sir." She pointed to her not-that-small-pumpkin.
The fifth year put the pumpkin on her table. There, Professor. Quote:

But now it was time to start. Ignatius flicked his wand in the direction of the door to shut it and block out the chatter of students headed to and from the Slytherin Common room outside. Rounding the front desk to the blackboard, he picked up his wooden pointing stick, and banged it LOUDLY on the desk to get everyone’s attention. “Right then you miserable lot...today we will be making the Pompion Potion, as some of you might have guessed from the pumpkins Professor Myers provided.” He doubted it though. He wrote the title on the blackboard as he spoke, underlining it with a flourish of chalk. “Turns head into pumpkin, and has a brewing time of around 50 minutes, so I suggest we hop to it unless you want to stay over morning break.”
And he certainly didn’t.
“Usually, we’d just chop the pumpkin any which way and scoop it out, but given the time of year…please carefully use diffindo to make a circle around the stalk like so.” Holding up his pumpkin and wand so they could see, he demonstrated what he meant. “Diffindo!” he cast, before directing his wand in a circle around the top of the pumpkin. If any of them had carved Jack-o-lanterns before, it would look like he was cutting out a lid. Because that’s exactly what he was doing. Even if he felt no need to get them all excited just yet and confirm they’d get to carve their pumpkins before the end of the lesson.
Returning the wand to his holster, he lifted up the small circle to show them the result. “Once you’ve got this off, put it to one side. We don’t need it just yet.” He did so, and picked up a tablespoon. “We need to scoop out the insides. Put the seeds to one side, and add two densely packed cups of pulp into your cauldron over a medium heat.” Fortunately the pumpkin he was using didn’t have too many seeds, and before long he’d got it prepped, measured and in the cauldron. He hoped they were paying attention; he liked to teach by showing, not just telling.
“It’s vital you get all the seeds out, so check thoroughly...using your fingers if necessary. You may use incendio to light your burner, or carefully come light a splint from my bunsen at the front. If you haven’t used diffindo before, put up your hand and I or one of the older students will help.”
Hint hint, older students.
And with that, he started writing the first steps of the recipe on the board for reference.

She could feel her head about to explode after taking all that information.
Miserable lot? Did the Professor just.....??? Yup, he did. But hey considering the circumstances she's in, she's definitely miserable. Back to the potion, she didn't want to stay over during her morning break making potion with the-ever-cheerful Professor Noble.
You can do this!
Alyce quickly ties her hair into a ponytail, she didn't want her hair get in her way. The fifth year made sure to write the instruction Professor Noble gave them, before she move on to cut open the pumpkin. She made tons of Jack-o-lantern so this going to be a piece of cake, right? She just need to focus. She took out her wand and..."Diffindo!" She slowly began to trace around the top of the pumpkin. It looked perfect. Well, there's some jagged edges but nobody perfect, right? Hopefully this will do.
She picked up her metal spoon and scooped out the innards. Eeewwwww....!! Eeeeewwww...!!! Next she need to pull the seed out, unfortunately for her she picked the wrong pumpkin. Her pumpkin has many seed. Too many. With a sigh, Alyce started to pull of the seed one by one until there's no more seed. She checked one more time for seeds before she move on to the next step. Once she's sure there's no more seeds left, Alyce put two densely packed cups of pumpkin guts into her cauldron with a cup of water. She lighted her burner with Incendio and set it to medium heat.
