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.
