Rainbowfish and Softclaw Land Shrimp

Splash, splash, splash.

The rushing water crashed against the colorful pebbles.

The water droplets splashing on the emerald green moss shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.

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

Neville, standing nearby, was holding up an unidentified shrimp that was light gray, spotted with green, and shaped like a lobster.

His muscular hand grabbed its head and pincers. "Look what I've caught!"

"Is this a lobster?"

"Maybe we can have an extra meal tonight!" Ron swam over abruptly.

Ron's eyes were immediately drawn to the lobster's twelve-inch-long body.

Then, a buttocks with transparent fuzz showing in the sunlight appeared before everyone— Ron's pants had fallen down.

"You—" Draco couldn't speak.

He had just been giving a serious analysis of Harry's 'lie', offering advice to the silent Harry — that Hagrid was rather careless and that Harry should be careful, and so on.

But from his angle, he could see something that made him want to gouge his own eyes out right now.

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

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

Then, Neville was startled, and his hand instinctively loosened its grip.

Thump!

The shrimp are gone.

It swung its thick swimming legs and tail fin connected to its fleshy belly, and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant, swimming downstream.

"Ron, pants," Neville prompted, snapping out of his daze.

"It was so fat! And it's gone just like that!" Ron was completely oblivious to the reactions of those around him and his exposed genitals.

He crouched down in the pool, dejected, with only his large, hairy head sticking out of the water.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Ginny also released her hands from Harry's eyes.

Even Harry, who had just been sullen, couldn't help but put on a slight smile.

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

It's called the Softclaw Land Shrimp.

It is a type of Care of Magical Creatures.

The tail can be used to make Potions.

Being bitten by it has an unusual side effect—it brings bad luck for a week.

"Have you eaten?" Ron snapped out of his reverie as soon as he heard the word "shrimp."

Although he had just realized that his pants were gone.

But he was more concerned about whether it was edible.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Having grown up here, he had no idea that there were 'lobsters' in the stream.

"You can't eat it. Although it looks a lot like a lobster, it's not suitable for consumption like a lobster because people who eat it will get a high fever and develop green rashes."

Softclaw Land Shrimp generally live near the sea.

It is estimated to have come from the coast of Ilfracombe Devon.

Or perhaps it was brought by your relatives when Ginny and I got engaged a while ago.

"But Ron, you'd better watch your pants," Harry said with a laugh.

It has to be said that Ron's comical antics just now, and his current reaction (Ron's face fell as soon as he heard that shrimp couldn't be eaten, making him look even more like a golden retriever), cheered Harry up.

"Reparo!" Ginny, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and restored Ron's pants to their original condition.

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

Ron didn't take the pants; he suddenly flailed and exclaimed, "My feet! What is that?!"

This time it was Ginny who spoke, "Rainbowfish?"

What else could it be?

They're not dangerous; they just nibble at swimmers' feet and clothing.

"Is it really not dangerous?" Ron waved his hands underwater to keep the thing that had just gnawed at his heel away from getting any closer.

"It's not dangerous."

At most, its bite will only make you feel a little itchy.

Luna and I have caught a lot. It's your own fault for not liking to come here to play in the water before."Ginny rolled her eyes.

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

"Is everything ready? I still need to analyze this with Harry!" Draco glanced at Ron irritably, then looked back at Harry.

Where did this come from?

Let me think... it seems to be Hagrid's advantage.

He is Half-blood Giant, naturally skilled in hand-to-hand combat.

I once heard Hagrid say that when he was in first grade, he went to the Forbidden Forest to fight Troll and raised wolf cubs under his bed.

It may sound a bit harsh.

Hagrid was born as brutal and destructive as Giant.

But through 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 that evil version of yourself.

He wants Hagrid to teach you how to control the demon within you—your destructive urges.

That way you won't have to play with the pudding anymore, or cause trouble in the Mirror World.

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

"Malfoy, you bald monster!"

"Didn't you promise not to tell?" This is Ron.

"What do you mean?" Harry looked at Draco and Ron.

Then he noticed the looks in Ginny's and Neville's eyes.

They all knew?

Did Ron discover it?

The reason Pudding got into trouble might be because he was too focused at the time and Ron saw him without noticing.

But how did Ron know that he accepted his evil side and caused trouble in the Mirror World?

"I know," Ginny said apologetically to Harry.

Then she recounted how Ron accidentally glimpsed some of Harry's memories when Harry had just left the Mirror World, discovering that Harry and his evil self had become one.

And her analysis of Harry's hasty entry into the Mirror World and Draco's subsequent events.

Harry looked at this strangely.

Draco's analysis was remarkably accurate.

He did vent the negative impulses emanating from Voldemort by being intimate with Ginny and by destroying the Mirror World.

Although it's somewhat inaccurate, it's entirely because the information Ron provided was incomplete.

Ron did indeed recount everything he saw.

However, due to his perspective, he was unaware that Harry was practicing his Magic Control over Pudding.

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

Not because of Evil Harry.

"Wait!" A thought suddenly flashed through Harry's mind.

Is this True Lie?

All the arguments are true and valid, but due to the information gap, a conclusion that is almost correct but full of flaws was drawn!

He's got it!

How could they have concealed his strange actions this semester, which were aimed at reviving his mother?

He only needs to connect these actions with reality—dealing with the impending resurrection of Voldemort.

This is the True Lie!

Dumbledore and his group would only draw the wrong conclusions.

The mistakes he made due to his mental and experiential limitations could be completely made up for by his ability to lie!
