The Silver Potion

The Silver Potion was definitely the correct one. I uncorked it as I raised it high in a mock 'cheers' to the crowd.

And then I took a large gulp. It was time to show these idiots who was-

Ribbit

That was odd. It almost sounded like my throat had made a -

Ribbit

FUCK

It seamed I had accidently drank the polyjuice potion for a frog. Don't ask me why I had the polyjuice potion of a frog. Just let me tell you the politics of these creatures is actually vastly more complex and ruthless than you would even realize.

"What's happening to him," asked Padma, "why is your skin turning green?" There was this one time a toad actually tried to eat me whole. That was when I gave him the whole razzle dazzle!

"Don't worry Ribbit my princess," I said. I had a concoction that would be perfect for stopping this. But where did I put it?

"He's shrinking," said Padma, "Idius what did you do now?" The crowd was looking at Ribbit me like I was crazy when they should have been amazed by my brilliance. Just who else in this school could concoct a Polyjuice potion that could turn one to the size of the creature Ribbit you were emulating? Nobody I have ever met or Ribbit my name wasn't Ribbit Idius Halfhwit!

"Ribbit is Ribbit," I Ribbit. Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit.

Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit. Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit. Ribbit Ribbit.

"Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit Ribbit," Ribbit Ribbit.

Ribbit!

I began to Ribbit again after Ribbit. But it was too late, Ribbit, the hurtful words of Padma had already affected me. Luckily they weren't able to Ribbit what a frog looks like when he cries. But I was past that point now as I grew back to a normal size. The beetle I had been chewing on tasted dreadful, but who was I to ruin a perfectly healthy treat. There were hungry frogs across the world who would die for a delicacy such as this. Gulp

Padma was only covering her face now. I marked the silver potion properly.

Now was time for the right one!
