Chapter 8: Ice Mice
Notes: since chocolate frogs move, why not Ice Mice? At this point I'm really loosely following ' Shikon no Go' since I'm doing 100 chapters…expect repeats on certain characters, this one is of Bill Weasley ( hope it works out with the "English" lessons he's giving Fleur, I think Molly wants Grand kids) And Charley when they were young, chasing Ice Mice through the house. Bill is 10, Charlie is 8, Percy is five and barely mentioned. I continue on my Weasley Binge! The twins are four.

Sure any kid can catch a Chocolate frog, but not many knew they stayed active out of the box for up to three hours.
A fact Bill Weasley had learned one summer afternoon when he'd left one of the tasty animated confections inside Arthur's buttoned coat pocket as a surprise. It was the first day his father had ever asked for him through the green flames in the fireplace.
The Eldest Weasley child was an encyclopedia of candy knowledge , it is a little known fact that Ice mice start moving after two hours out of the box(uneaten of course. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be to have them move as they were being digested…or when they left your body…).
That happened the year before Bill got his letter from Hogwarts.
It was a humid, rainy day, and all seven children were inside.
Ron was just learning to Walk and Molly had started putting silencing charms on the boys to keep from waking her up.
Needless to say all usual activities engaged in during summer were pretty much crushed with the rain and the eerie silence that had befallen during Ginny's & Ron's Naptime...which lasted for as long as it could every day.
Molly's cheerful humming never paused as she passed two of her sons in the hall after lunch, taking their mutinous stares in stride.
" Hello boys, try to be quiet when you play," she said cheerily with a slight giggle of unrestrained happiness she covered with a cough.
The two boys followed her down stairs and …to this day it is still discussed and debated what exactly happened next .
Fred and George say they took the Ice Mice from Molly's Apron, Molly says it never happened, and Charlie says 'she just gave us Candy to make up for it'.
What matters is that they took them upstairs ( the Ice Mice) and left them on the railing when they saw the twins sitting on Percy and giggling silently whenever he succeeded in throwing one of them off.
They looked at each other before jumping onto the pile.
While the mass of red hair and adorable pudgy limbs squirmed the opened and half eaten box of Ice Mice started to jerk on the railing.
Before falling to the hard wood floor of the hall and making a mad dash for freedom, right towards the ball 'o' Weasleys.
It took a good few minutes to notice the cold Candy crawling on them, it made Percy go screaming ( silently) down stairs and the twins flicked them off with disgust, before following Percy with looks of curiosity on their faces.
Oh it was also the day Bill found out that unlike chocolate frogs…Ice Mice seem to WANT to be in your stomach.
He learned that when one started to crawl down his throat and he started to choke, Charlie started stomping on them and squishing them into the carpet, making loud thumping noises.
…Bill learned a third fact about candy then, you can't choke on Ice mice if you swallow them.
Molly found Bill and Charlie eating once mobile mice from the carpet, sugary little goatee's around their mouths.
Bill pulled a Mouse that had gotten into one of his socks out wriggling by the tail and held it up to an Irate looking Molly with a smile.
