What's the meaning of 'pushing his luck'?
Given the sentence:
There was a very good chance they were going to get caught by Filch or Mrs. Norris, and Harry felt he was pushing his luck, breaking another school rule today. On the other hand, Malfoys sneering face kept looming up out of the darkness - this was his big chance to beat Malfoy face-to-face. He couldn't miss it.

It means that nobody had reprimanded him until then and he was lucky for that considering all the mischief he had done already.
Simply put , pushing one's luck means getting oneself into further danger.
