Chapter 546: Colorful Ball Fish and Soft Clawed Land Shrimp
Clatter.

The rushing water hits the colorful pebbles.

The water splashing on the green moss sparkled beautifully under the sun.

Small spherical fish with webbed feet were sneakily nibbling at Ron's pants as he swam in the pond.

Neville on the side was holding up an unknown shrimp that was light gray, had green spots, and looked like a lobster.

His muscled hands grabbed its head and pincers, "Look, what did I grab?"

“Is this a lobster?
Maybe we can have a snack tonight!" Ron swam over.

The twelve-inch-long body of the lobster immediately caught Ron's attention.

Then, a butt with transparent fluff revealed in the sun appeared in front of everyone - Ron's pants fell off.

"You—" Draco was speechless.

He had just been seriously analyzing Harry's 'lie' and giving advice to the silent Harry - Hagrid was careless, Harry should be careful and so on.

But he was at a perfect angle to see something that made him want to poke his own eyes out right now.

"Ron Weasley!" Ginny rushed over to Harry and covered his eyes.

And Ron, "Neville! Watch out for the shrimp!"

Then, Neville was startled and his hand unconsciously loosened.

Plop!
The shrimps are gone.

It swung its thick swimming legs and the tail fin connected to its fat abdomen, and suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, swimming down the stream.

"Ron, pants," Neville reminded, having come to his senses.

"It's so fat! It's gone just like that!" Ron paid no attention to the reactions of the people around him or his exposed lower body.

He squatted into the pond in disappointment, with only his big hairy head sticking out of the water.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ginny also released her hand that was covering Harry's eyes.

Even Harry, who had been sullen just now, couldn't help but smile slightly.

He looked at Ron and said, "That's not a lobster.

It's called the soft-clawed shrimp.

It is a kind of magical creature.

The tail can be used to make potions.

The bite has an unusual side effect - it makes everything go wrong for a week."

"Have you eaten it?" Ron came back to his senses when he heard the word shrimp.

Although he just realized that his pants were gone.

But he was more concerned about whether it was edible.

He couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Growing up here, he didn't even know there were lobsters in the stream.

"You can't eat it. Although it looks like a lobster, it is not suitable for eating like a lobster, because those who eat it will have a high fever and a green rash.

Soft-clawed shrimps usually live near the sea.

It is thought to have come from the coast near the Devon town of Ilfracombe.

Or maybe some of your relatives brought them when Ginny and I got engaged a while ago.

But Ron, you should pay attention to your pants." Harry said with a smile.

I have to say, Ron's funny behavior just now and his current reaction (when Ron heard that shrimps were not edible, his face drooped and he looked even more like a golden retriever) made Harry feel happy.

"Restored to its original state!" Ginny couldn't bear to watch and restored Ron's pants to their original state.

She waved her wand again, and the pants bunched up and floated on the water like a speeding boat, moving towards Ron.

Ron didn't take the pants. He suddenly fluttered and said, "My feet! What is that?" This time it was Ginny who spoke, "A ball fish?

What else could it be?
They are not dangerous, they just chew on swimmers’ feet and clothing.”

"Really not dangerous?" Ron waved his hands underwater to prevent the thing that had just gnawed his heel from getting closer again.

“It’s not dangerous.

The most it does is cause an itch.

Luna and I have caught many of them. You didn't like playing in the water before." Ginny rolled her eyes.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief, put on his pants, and climbed onto an exposed rock.

"Everything is done, right? I still need to analyze this with Harry!" Draco glanced at Ron unhappily, then looked back at Harry.
"Where did you say it came from?
Let me think about it. It seems that this is Hagrid's advantage.

He is a half-giant and is naturally good at hand-to-hand combat.

I once heard Hagrid say that in his first year he went into the Forbidden Forest to fight trolls and raise wolf cubs under his bed.

Although it sounds a bit harsh.

Hagrid is actually born to be as cruel and destructive as a giant.

But after years of training, Hagrid has become a peaceful and kind gamekeeper.

In my opinion, Dumbledore probably also noticed the change in your personality after you, Harry, merged with your evil self.

He wants Hagrid to teach you how to control the devil in your heart - the desire to destroy.

This way you won't have to play with puddings or wreak havoc in the mirror world anymore."

"What? I mean how did you know—" Harry was speechless with surprise.

"Malfoy you bald freak!
Didn't you promise not to tell?" This is Ron.

"Reveal what?" Harry looked at Draco and Ron.

Immediately, he noticed the looks from Ginny and Neville again.

Do they all know?
Or did Ron discover it?
As for the pudding incident, it might be because he was too serious at the time and didn't notice Ron seeing it.

But he accepted his evil side and caused destruction in the mirror world. How did Ron know about it?
"I know." Ginny looked at Harry apologetically.

Then she talked about how Ron accidentally saw part of Harry's memory when Harry had just left the mirror world and discovered that Harry and his evil self had merged into one.

And she saw Harry hurried into the mirror world and Draco's analysis afterwards.

Harry looked weird about this.

Draco's analysis was actually pretty accurate.

He did vent the negative impulses from Voldemort by being intimate with Ginny and destroying the mirror world.

Although it is a bit inaccurate, it is entirely because the information Ron provided was incomplete.

Ron told exactly what he saw.

But due to his perspective, he didn't know that Harry was honing his magic control ability with the pudding.

I don't know, those negative impulses come from Harry accepting Voldemort's power.

And not because of Evil Harry.

"Wait!" A flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Harry's heart.

Is this a true lie?

All the arguments are true and valid, but due to information asymmetry, the conclusions drawn are almost the same, but full of loopholes!

He thought of it!

How could he hide the strange behavior he had done this semester in order to revive his mother!
He just had to connect these actions to the real thing - dealing with the resurrected Voldemort.

This is the real lie!

Dumbledore and the others will only draw the wrong conclusions.

The mistakes and omissions caused by his mind and experience can be completely compensated by his ability to lie!
