Ginger, who has book in hand, responds:

Sorry John, you're close, but no cigar.  Right after the Hogsmeade 
trip you mention (ch 19, the Hungarian Horntail), Harry goes to see 
Hagrid.  It is mentioned as he sneaks out that the Creevy brothers 
were trying to bewitch the buttons.  After he returns, the Creevys 
have gone to bed, but the buttons remain.  You were correct that they 
were unsuccessful.

Any bets that an older student performed a disillusionment charm on 
little Dennis so he could get to the DA meeting?

Ginger, who really needs to reread GoF.
