The Ghoul in Pajamas: Ron's Decoy Plan

PAGES: 97-99

Ron reveals his plan to use the family's ghoul as a decoy, disguising it with red hair and pustules to mimic spattergroit. This deception is meant to explain his absence from Hogwarts to any Death Eaters who come looking for him. Ron explains that his father helped with the transformation, though Mrs. Weasley remains in denial about their departure.
