HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

The lack of a restroom wasn't too hard for Elaine to imagine.

Although the original book did not mention this, he knew that in the game "Hogwarts Legacy," the hygiene conditions of several house dormitories were terrible.

Speaking of the washroom alone.

Badger House is the only one of the four houses without a washroom.

You should know that Hogwarts' kitchen is right next to the Hedgehog House dormitory!

Perhaps this is why there are so many green plants in the Badger Dormitory, and why each one is growing so well?

After all, there's plenty of fertilizer.

Slytherin does have restrooms, but they are located outside the dormitories, so you have to walk quite a distance to use them.

If a student forgets the password to enter the dormitory after getting up at night, they will unfortunately have to spend the whole night outside in the cold wind.

The washrooms at Griffith College are located inside the dormitories, but they only have women's washrooms, not men's.

In comparison, Takayuki is the best in this regard—it has both.

Not only are there separate men's and women's washrooms in the dormitories, but each washroom also has several separate shower rooms with bathtubs.

Looking at it this way, it's quite obvious who among the four founders of the academy is clean and who is the most slovenly!

"Professor Dumbledore, I think you must be the greatest headmaster in the history of Hogwarts!!"

"Hahaha...I think so too!"

……

Break the Cauldron Bar.

With a loud bang, two figures, one old and one young, appeared out of thin air at the doorway.

However, this bizarre scene went unnoticed by any passersby.

Dumbledore glanced back at Elaine and found him to be calm and composed, showing no sign of discomfort. His admiration for Elaine deepened.

"Your situation is much better than I expected. Most people are not so used to it when they experience 'apparition' for the first time."

He was being polite when he said that.

In fact, Apparition is like forcibly stuffing a person into a narrow and long rubber tube, which is a very uncomfortable experience.

Those who experience it for the first time will almost always feel dizzy and nauseous afterward, and it's not just a simple case of 'not being used to it'.

Elaine clenched his little fist and gently punched his chest: "Maybe it's because I'm physically strong enough."

The boost from the three character cards significantly improved Elaine's physical attributes.

Dumbledore nodded, said nothing more, and led Elaine into the Leaky Cauldron.

"This is the Leaky Cauldron. From here, you can go to Diagon Alley."

The bar wasn't well-lit, and it looked dark and gloomy overall.

It's worth mentioning that there were many guests at this time.

The wizards gathered in twos and threes at a table, huddled together in the small bar, drinking, bragging, and exchanging their stories.

The bar owner was leisurely wiping a wine glass that seemed impossible to clean properly behind the bar counter.

A waiter was diligently wiping the table after the customers left with a rag.

As he wiped the table, he deftly arranged the wine glasses in one place.

Suddenly, he covered the wine glasses with a rag, and all the glasses disappeared instantly. Then he picked up the rag again and walked briskly to the next table.

"Merlin's underwear... it's Professor Dumbledore?!"

"How did you end up here?"

The patrons in the bar quickly noticed the old man and the young man who had entered, and recognized the old man as Dumbledore, exclaiming in surprise.

It's clear that they have great respect for Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled and looked at Elaine behind him.

"Of course, we've come to guide our young wizards to school."

"You personally guided the young wizard to school?"

All the wizards in the tavern turned their attention to Elaine.

In their view, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore must be a very special person to receive someone personally.

Is he Harry Potter?

Judging by his age, he seems to be eleven years old this year, which is exactly the age for starting school.

Perhaps only the savior who defeated the mysterious man would be worthy of Dumbledore's intervention.

But the wizards quickly dismissed the idea.

It is common knowledge in the wizarding world that Harry Potter has a scar on his forehead!

But the boy in front of me had a completely bald forehead, clearly very clean.

Furthermore, Harry Potter's father, James Potter, had black hair, and his mother, Lily Evans, had red hair. How could they possibly have a blond child?!

"This...is this child of a pure-blooded noble?"

Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Dumbledore quickly explained, "No, no, no, this child is not of pure blood. It's just that I went there in person for some special reasons."

There is a hierarchy of bloodlines in the wizarding world, and if there is anything that pure-blood wizards despise more than "both parents are Muggles", it is probably "an orphan whose parents are both Muggles and who has died".

To avoid hurting the feelings of these young wizards and to respect their privacy, Hogwarts professors usually do not discuss their family situations in public.

However, upon hearing Dumbledore say this, some of the wizards present understood his implication.

Wizards from Muggle families are personally guided by professors; they all know this.

So this little wizard is from a Muggle family?

But why were there no parents accompanying them?

Could it be that this young wizard comes from a bad background, and that's why Dumbledore personally guided him?

It seems that this is the only reason.

It's not surprising that wizards would have this idea.

It's important to know that the wizards who appear at the Leaky Cauldron are mostly half-bloods or Mudbloods, because pure-blooded nobles would never come to such a dirty, dark, and small place. When they want to go to Diagon Alley, they wouldn't go to the Leaky Cauldron; they would just use Floo Powder at home.

As half-blood, Mudblood wizards, they naturally have more knowledge of the Muggle world's social environment and stronger logical reasoning abilities compared to pure-blood wizards.

They only need to pay a little attention to the lives of people in Muggle society in recent years to be able to deduce the current situation with great accuracy.

Upon discovering that the young wizard about to enroll was very likely an orphan, the wizards tacitly refrained from questioning Dumbledore about the "special circumstances" he had mentioned, and instead began discussing other matters.

"I thought guiding young wizards was Professor McGonagall's job."

"This is definitely Minerva's work!"

Dumbledore winked and said, "But I can't just dump everything on her; that would put too much pressure on her, don't you think?"

These words immediately drew praise from the wizards in the tavern, who showered him with compliments such as "You are so considerate of your subordinates."

Dumbledore accepted all the praise, then led Elaine to the backyard.
