1) As per Arya's original suggestion. Works for me.
2) Use an unregistered Portkey? Isn't that illegal? You'll have MoM 
officials breathing down your neck within minutes. Sure hope it was 
worth it.
3) Don't think there are hearths in the dormitory rooms themselves.
4) The girl in question will still have to open the window. Which 
brings us back to: girls are more trustworthy than boys.
5) Fine, you're upstairs. But now you look like a girl. If your girl 
isn't into that lesbian stuff, this might get awkward.
6) Succes! see 1.
7) That is, if the dragon doesn't eat you first.
8) Sorry, see 4.
9) Sorry, see 4.
10) Oh, you have your own flying car. Why didn't you say so in the 
first place? Come right in.
11) Mailing yourself to the girls dormitory, clever. I wonder how 
many owls it takes to carry a fifteen year old boy?
12) Succes! see 1.
13) Congratulations, you're now in the kitchen. Cream-cake?
14) Doubt if the stairs would be fooled by that.
15) Start tapping bricks, Sherlock.
16) Sorry, see 14.
17) Dumbledore did say phoenixes were highly useful pets. Now we know 
where that twinkle in his eyes comes from.
18) Succes! see 1.
19) Sorry, see 4.
20) Not only are you back to the basic problem that girls are more 
trustworthy than boys, this will probably also limit the choice of 
girls to the likes of Millicent Bulstrode.

7 out of 20, not bad. But then 5 out of those 7 are just variants of 
flying upstairs.
