Harry was in Muggle London. Which was all fine and dandy, but he was in Muggle London with the Weasley's and Arthur kept asking him questions that, if he were not a wizard, were ridiculous. They were walking down a cobblestone road that was lined with old flats. They were headed to the cinema and Harry had decided to take a short cut so he could avoid passing too many Muggle inventions.
"What are those yellow bags for?" Arthur asked.
"They're bags of rubbish," he supplied. He heard Hermione chuckle as the Weasley's knitted their brows.
He sighed. "They put out the rubbish for the dustman to collect. Normally they would put the bags in a dustbin but there aren't any on this street."
"Dustman?" Arthur asked.
"It's a job title. The dustmen go around and collect the rubbish in the areas they're assigned to and then they carry it to the dump," Hermione explained.
"Interesting," Arthur said. "What's that over there? Is that rubbish as well?"
"It's a bicycle. For transport," Harry said.
"How does it work?" Arthur asked.
"You just get on it and pedal and turn the handle in the direction you want to go."
"What's that pipe for?"
Harry sighed and thanked Merlin when he heard Hermione explaining the use of a drainage pipe.
