Ah!  Now that is an excellent idea!  Or possibly something like a sneak
scope that reacts to partying and mischeif making on a large scale.  And
like you said, that would allow her to keep an 'eye' on things without
having knowledge of all the things that go on.  Though, if it were a
mischief making type detector, would it pick up things that Harry and co
did?  Or would it be *intent* to make mischief, and so Harry and co would be
exempt because they weren't setting out to cause trouble?
