Order Only

Sorry to the blokes: I'd make this a private message, only I want to address it to more than two.

Alice, Molly, Madam P?

I've just been reading up on toilet training, and...

Surely we're not really meant to use compulsions on Bea to get her to see what she's meant to do? I thought it was just nonsense when I read those pamphlets, but I picked up two books on my way from work this morning, and that's all they recommend, either.

What on earth?

I'm afraid my own experience of that is very far in the past, and, generally speaking, Hogwarts students do not require this sort of training.

Mind you, there are potions that can help if she really has difficulty discerning when she needs to urinate or if she develops a problem with bedwetting. (I keep a supply of Eupatoria Pliny's Dry Dreams on hand here because I do have frequent need of it, especially at start of term with the first-years.)

The one other tip I could offer is to use a quick colouration charm to turn the water a vivid blue, so Bea may enjoy turning the colour green when she adds her own yellow-coloured fluid to the blue. My Rue found that a most engaging game when it was time for her toilet training to begin.
