He did not just call out for his mum...
He did. He really did and at this moment he did not care. There was a rabid dummy on steroids after him. Remember how he thought it was faster than a cow? Well, he was wrong. It was faster than Peyton when someone yelled FOOD.
One thing was running normally. Just him and his limbs. It was another running with extra baggage like Adidas protective wear. So. Not used to the knee pads or the body wear, the Slytherin boy went tumbling forward like a tumbleweed in the desert. He was protected and all. Good, good, yes, but there was now SOMETHING tugging at his LEG and pulling him across the padded floor.
"I didn't mean to criticize your steroid use." The words rushed out as if the dummy had actually been offended by his comment. The dummy caught his failing hand around the wrist--

It TOUCHED him. Without his permission at that.
A switch flipped ON in Cornelius' head. Green eyes snapped up at the dummy. His mum's training came to mind, and even though this wasn't the real thing and he wasn't really in danger, Cornelius couldn't help but freeze. The grip felt real. Really REALLY real. He tugged it back but the dummy tugged away.
"Ge'roff me!" Now he was kicking at the dummy, who stumbled back just a tiny bit but not enough to loosen its grip.
