    ... his friends in the Room of Requirement, and almost flinched under the gazes of Blaise, Daphne, Susan, and Luna. "Spill it, Potter. Why have you spent this whole week pranking Dumbledore to within an inch of his sanity?" Blaise asked, raising an eyebrow. Harry shrugged and explained about the conversation he had had with the headmaster the previous weekend, and what they had inferred. Blaise let out a low breath. "Damn," he commented. "Need any help?" Harry chuckled, and the others laughed. Daphne shook her head. "I can't believe the audacity of the old man.
