In case his aversion to crossing the pit of slugs to satisfy his curiosity was not enough evidence, this class would certainly further back the point that Evan Nam was not a fan of goop. And while he did not know the technical definitely of that word, pumpkin guts fit into the category for him. But this was the assignment for the day, so he'd be the good Ravenclaw he was and put his all into it. Sighing a little as he grabbed his wand to start with Diffindo, Evan paused hearing the various first years ask questions regarding the charm. The younger 'claw was covered ala his older brother, but he figured it wouldn't hurt to sidle over to one of the others in case they needed help and Professor Hernandez was with another student.

Spotting a Gryffindor, Valentine he believed was part of her name, he left his spot near his fellow fifth years and slid into an open seat - pumpkin in two - near her. "I can help if you need it. But you should give it a go." Like Professor Hernandez had said, it was a fairly easy spell, but there was also no shame in needing help as long as one tried first.

Focusing back on his own pumpkin, Evan lifted his wand, keeping his movements slow just in case, and drew a circle over the top of his pumpkin. "Diffindo!" Once that was cut, he started the process of scooping out the innards, making sure to separate the pumpkins from the rest as he did so. He briefly wondered if this was because pumpkin seeds were another good potion ingredient, or if the Professor was hoping for a snack later. He considered asking, but decided it wasn't relevant enough to take up class time.

On and on he scooped, until the majority was out on the tray and there was a thin layer still inside the pumpkin. Did he perhaps take out too much?
