Cutty was half-listening to the conversation between the two Professors. He'd gotten enough to know that they were unintended pumpkins wand-made possibly by Professor Flamsteed at the beginning of the month. One word was burning in the boy's mind and thus he little noticed the face Airey had been making. "An experiment? What'dyer find out, Professor Flamsteed?"

Cutty dug a hand into the box and grabbed hold of one of the pumpkins by it's stem, pulling it out with others still attached by their vines. "Sure, Professor Millard. I'd appreciate it." And he would too, cause he needed that resin. The young snake picked up the pumpkins and drew out a bit more, though in his process of carrying them over to the nearby vegetable patch he found their foliage to be a tangled mess and the pumpkins themselves to be too heavy. This resulted in the application of charms, levitation and shrinking mostly. Unsure of where to put them exactly, Cutty began lining the corners and perimeter of the vegetable patch with their round, gourdy forms.
