Fully dressed, Harry looked around the Great Hall and Ron stared at him. Hagrid seemed to be struggling down the corridor, so they joined him. Hermione quickly approached, clutching a very small doorknob.
"We need to hide this, quickly" she panted. The four of them scampered down the stairs. They hid the doorknob under Dobby and jumped out the door unconvincingly. A recently scrubbed Dumbledore caught up to them shortly after, nearly slipping as he slowed, his bathrobe flapping its windswept sleeves. They could not escape his keen sense of smell.
"Who stole the doorknob from the door to my bathing hall?" Dumbledore aggressively bellowed.

After meticulously wiping the spittle from their faces, Ron broke down and cast is finger at Dobby. The poor house elf thought less of the boy, but ultimately disapparated, doorknob in hand, to the other side of the room. His stench was his demise, though, and before he travelled three steps, Dumbledore smelled the elf, and turned, preparing to destroy him.
Just as the killing curse was leaving his mouth, Hermione sniggered a most unhelpful snigger.
Dumbledore turned back, and distracted, he uttered the less fatal spell: "I wanna Yul Brynner."
A moment later, expectedly, Yul Brynner apparated, landing on Hermione's sniggering head. She fell with a yelp. Yul Brynner glared at Dumbledore, cursing him for once again disapparating him mid-Oscar speech. Dumbledore apologized and requested Yul's help retrieving his doorknob.
Not wanting to waste any more time, Yul approached Dobby and requested the doorknob from him. Dobby retched then defiantly threw the doorknob at Yul's face. Yul easily anticipated this after the last time he was disapparated from the Oscars, and caught it a millimeter from his face. Dobby scowled, and snapped, disapparating to his nook. Yul handed the doorknob to Dumbledore, then with a wave, dashed off back to the Oscars.
Harry and Ron looked at each other, then to Hagrid, and shrugged. The four of them returned to great hall, and Dumbledore returned to his bath to finish scrubbing his toes.
