Lexicon Puzzle--Prefects' Bathroom

* Where do the female prefects bathe? And does the mermaid on the wall
watch people as they take baths?

As published under Lexicon Puzzle page...

My guess would be that the door simply wouldn't open when given the
password.  I don't see why the prefects should have seperate
bathrooms.  Unisex bathrooms (for smaller numbers of people) are quite
common.  Something that elaborate, IMO, would be only one room.  The
mermaid is merely a "picture" (and Merpeople also aren't of the same
species--more animalesque??), so I don't think it bothers anyone that
she's there (now Myrtle on the other hand...;-)).

Oh, oh *brainwave* what if (much like Dumbledore's chamber pot room),
IF a prefect happens to be taking a bath at the same time as another
prefect wants to enter, the other prefect is admitted to a kind of
"rotating" room that is the same, but completely devoid of first
prefect.  Magic, y'know? <g>

Another question...doesn't it seem AWFULLY inconvient to have the
bathroom so far away from the common rooms?  I can see prefects
tromping through the school wearing only dressing gowns and carrying
toiletries, <bg>.

feminine)
