{Harry's temporary room, Leaky Cauldron}
Cleaning the mess that I had created turned out to be harder than I imagined. I could have used one of my old T-shirts to deal with it, but I had been in such a hurry to leave that I hadn't even grabbed an extra set of clothes. In the end, I had to spill a lot of water on the floor and then ask Top to use a spell to clean it up.
'Not that I was necessarily lying. It kind of happened, didn't it?' I thought as I flopped back down onto the bed. I opened the diary as it appeared in my hands again and flipped through the portrait of a masturbating Adorabell.

'Hmm, not a bad trait, even though it doesn't help me much in combat, but it would most likely help with survival.' I thought as I flipped through. Contrary to what I expected, witches like Madame Malkin and other witches who were working in that shop did not appear in the diary, and the next face was surprisingly Susan.

I stared at the moving pictures of Susan and Hannah, and the sharp contrast in their personalities stood out again. At the same time, I noticed that the future Huffepuffs both had initial traits geared toward social interaction.
'Though I'm pretty sure they must have at least a magical inclination like Adorabella and me, they just must be locked behind level 3.' I thought it was a reasonable conclusion. What bugged me was that I couldn't see which of my actions led to this affection gain, so I could calibrate my approach to each girl.

[Notifications settings update!]
...
'Huh, so feedback works, can I try anything else, like making the locked traits visible?' I thought, but received no feedback in return.
Still happy something worked out for once, I looked out of the window. It wasn't that late into the night, but most of the shops in Diagon Alley had already closed down. But I could still see light coming from a distance, from an area that clearly belonged to Knockturn Alley, which we had brushed past quite quickly in the morning.
'It's a bit risky to go there, but I'm pretty sure that the Red Light District should be in there.' I thought. While gaining LP from whores wasn't my favorite option, it was the best option I had for today.
A few seconds of debate later, I grabbed my wand and watched as it vanished into my inventory with a thought, and then brought out my trunk onto the floor beside my bed. Opening it, I grabbed my money pouch and poured the small heap of galleons onto my bed.
With an extended finger and a thought, the heaps of galleons disappeared into my inventory. Next, I grabbed the knife that came with my potion supplies, and it vanished all the same. Now feeling a bit more secure, I looked through my trunk once again, and after storing it, I walked out of my room, locking the door behind me.
As the steps creaked once again, I caught sight of Tom, who was looking at me. I gave him a nod as I walked toward the back door and into Diagonalley by mimicking Prof. McGonagall's taps on the wall.
Thankfully, the doorway appeared, and I felt a deep chill seep into my bones as I walked into the dark night. London chill was no joke, and I wasn't exactly used to these temperatures.
'Need to talk to Hermione tomorrow to get some Muggle cash. Might as well buy some stuff with the money I'll get from the exchange.' I thought as I pushed my hands in my pockets and pushed through. Thankfully, it was summertime, so it wasn't as cold, and I quickly arrived at the alley that was going downhill towards Knockturn.
I looked around nervously before I took a deep breath to calm my fraying nerves as I walked in. It didn't take long for me to arrive at the seedier part of the alley, but I quickly noticed that most of the hustle and bustle was coming from a brightly lit side alley going upwards to the left.
With a quick turn, I arrived and quickly realized that I might have made a mistake. Everyone around me was wearing a cloak to cover their features. Going in now would mean exposing my face, which looked like a bad idea, as a few people were already turning toward me, noticing my anomaly.
I quickly backed out, forcing myself to remain calm and not break out in a run. I quickly walked out of Knockturn Alley, and only then did I hear the click-clack of heels from behind me.
Suppressing the urge to bolt again, I stopped and turned to see a woman with a familiar curvy figure, dressed in a skin-tight white dress, gloves, and thigh-high boots, staring at me. Her red lips looked striking in the dark night, and they curled into a smirk as she walked closer. Her breasts, tightly confined in her dress, jiggled with her every step.
The only reason I didn't run was the name hovering above her head.
