From 'A Matter Of Force'
SHUT UP AND TOUCH THE MONKEY!!
Quote:And...
The Weasley twins were sitting together in the dorms. The other boys around them ignored them as they snickered together with a case of Chocolate Frogs between them. They each took one from the box and bit into it with a wide grin on their faces. Fred bit his clean in half, George mangled his quite a bit, but stopped when he realized something felt strange. They'd gotten them earlier in a package they'd assumed was from home. A small note warning them to share with each other was enclosed.
Remember the last time we ate an entire case? Fred seemed pleased with the memory.
George was unwrapping one as Fred picked one out. They held the small squirming candies and bit into their respective frog at almost the same time.
George spit the chocolate frog back out onto the cardboard case as the ten other frogs all seemed to look on at the broken and whimpering form. It looked like the confection was badly injured and struggling to crawl away.
What's wrong with me? I'm not good enough for you? You can devour my one true love in front of me, but I'm not delicious enough?! Eat me! Damn you! It was crying and beating it's one good left front flipper against the cardboard surface. The cards that came with the frogs were all rolling with laughter as the two boys looked on in horror.
Oh god! I can't watch this anymore! Sheila, I love you! Another frog jumped towards Fred's horrified mouth. The twins were close to tears they felt so bad. He couldn't close it in time and bit the frog in half as he tried to jerk his mouth shut. The legs fell back down and twitched a few times. Chocolate syrup was dripping down his chin.
Noo! Larry! George was targeted by the next of the suicidal frogs. They were crawling from the box and onto the boy's robes as they started making dives at their mouths, screaming and lamenting their fallen loved ones as they did so.

The man said nothing as he seemed to think about it. A very wild theory. He didn't seem impressed.
Well, I'm not worried about finding ingredients until I get this right. I've made six batches and they're still a little off somehow. I think I was overheating the venom a little. I'll probably be at this a while, I've got a few other things I want to tweak before I settle in and make a few batches more to be sure. I'll get it done though. After all, I'm the Greatest Potions Genius in the Universe.
Snape was about to speak up, when something so odd happened that he found himself unable to speak.
Two small puppets appeared on her shoulders, both looking like tiny crude versions of her, each in a miniature Hogwarts uniform.
Anna, you're the greatest! chimed one of them in a high pitched voice.
Anna, you're the best! agreed the other.
Anna! Anna! Anna! they both cheered together. Yeah!
Snape looked down at her in what appeared like disgust before walking away without another word.
SHUT UP AND TOUCH THE MONKEY!!
