Wheee! Second place in the drabble contest at [livejournal.com profile] quills_elite! That's my best result yet, woop woop! 200 points!

Title: Statue Boy
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Prompt:
You and your mates are practicing your form in dueling club, and you've just been hit with a spell. Describe, in exactly 100 words, the effects of that particular spell (either on you as a student or you taking on the role of a canon character) on your mind, senses, or physical body. Unforgivable curses are off-limits.

“Petrificus Totalus!”

Oh, not again, thinks Neville, as something whacks him squarely in the middle of his back.

His spine locks, instantly; his arms, hanging loosely by his sides, are suddenly rigid; his knees stiffen, immovable. Less than half a second, and he feels the freeze spread through his entire body, capturing even the tips of his fingers as his friends begin to giggle. Helpless, eyes fixed and bulging slightly, he feels the saliva start to pool behind his clenched teeth.

There’s a snigger behind him, a slight pressure, and Neville is slowly, inexorably, irresistibly falling onto his face.

Ouch.

Go you with teh Hufflepuff points! :D

I really, really want to get involved with more of the comps but I can barely find the time for sorting right now. Next term after uni is over I plan on entering all of them.

Neville/bowl of petunias* OTP?

*(Petunias, not Petunia. That would just be disturbing.)

Haha, the Petunia/petunias thing didn't even cross my mind.

SO MUCH FUN!! And SO well described, I can see how you won 2nd, you answered the prompt perfectly!

WELL DOOOOOONE!!! *THWAP*



I don't know what's happened to the LIMS I'm in, I thought it was a weekly thing, but as far as I can tell the voting hasn't been posted for Round 1 yet... =S Hmm. I hope I haven't missed something and hence been disqualified... eep!


Also, on the subject of h_e, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND QUIDDITCH. You're an alternate too, right? Do we have to do anything?
