And just to keep the silliness going a little.... Steve, I have to
confess when I read this that I thought you were asking whether Ron &
Hermione were sneaking off to the Prefects' Bath **together** because
they needed a place where Harry wouldn't find them snogging! Of
course, that wasn't at all what you meant. ;-)
That lack of attention to personal hygiene activities by JKR is one
of the more bizarre things about the books, imho. I mean, they're
already hundreds & hundreds of pages long, and adding in every
episode of applying deodorant or running in for a pitstop would only
lengthen them, but still. NEVER a mention of a shower after
Quidditch practice or brushing teeth before bed or a girl brushing
out her freshly-shampooed hair? I don't get it. Kinda makes my skin
(& teeth) crawl at times.
