"What's in here, do you think?" Clarisse whispered, not sure why she was whispering. The two girls were exploring the castle after class, but it still wasn't dark, so it wasn't like they had to worry about being caught out after curfew. And they were looking for places in the castle they hadn't been before, but those places weren't out of bounds or anything either. Her whispering was just a product of her excitement, she decided, not from a real need.
They had reached a section of the third floor, where Clarisse hadn't gone before, and supposedly Eri hadn't either. The Ravenclaws had paused in front of a large ornate door, one that didn't seemed locked, previous to her whispered question.
She wasn't certain why she asked, either. After all, she could just try it. The door, as to her guess, wasn't locked, although it was stiff and heavy to the touch as she tried to push it open. Putting her back into it, she forced it further, creating a gap large enough for the two girls to squeeze in. The room wasn't the best lit, but the light that trickled in reflected off cabinet after cabinet. Off trophy after trophy.
"Wow," she whispered, loudly. Curiously, Clarisse peered towards one of the cabinets, making out the year 1587 embossed on one of the trophies. "These go back so far! Do you think we can find someone you know?"
As she spoke, there was a creak as the door closed. Then a thud as the latch engaged. Clarisse glanced over to Eri nervously. "What was that?"

Eri looked at her fellow Ravenclaw. "I don't know, it might be the trophy room, or a random room. Let's find out." As they go inside Eri gets a feeling that she should immediately leave the room. Then Clarisse says they should look for someone Eri knew. She shrugged but stayed near the door. That's when the door shut closed and latched. "Somebody must have locked us in, or the door was enchanted. Maybe we accidentally shut it closed causing the latch to fall onto it?" Eri wasn't one to freak out. This happened normally to her cause her brothers loved to prank her at home. Though she wasn't sure if Clarisse was used to being pranked. Or locked in a room. That happened a lot. But anyways they can't freak out. "Since we are in here let's explore. There isn't much we can do. If people realize we are missing they will come find us. But if it makes you feel better I can try to get the door open." Eri said shrugging and swiped some of her brown hair out of her face. If she showed that she was calm maybe the other girl would be calm and not freak out.

Eri had plenty of suggestions why the door had closed. As she said them, Clarisse noticed how calm she was. Unlike her own nervousness, Eri had it under control. Which wasn't fair. How come she could keep herself so calm and collected when they could possibly be trapped in here for the rest of their lives?
Okay, maybe she was taking this too far. But still, it was an emergency, wasn't it? She was freaking out. Maybe not visibly - although where she was hiding behind a cabinet, she doubted Eri would be able to tell anyway - but she was definitely freaking out. Who would lock them in? Why would it be enchanted to trap them? Why hadn't either of them paid any attention to the door so that it wouldn't close on them like this?
Eri was still acting calm. And when she suggested opening the door to make Clarisse feel better, it made Clarisse feel bad for freaking out so much.
"No, it's fine," she said, hesitating after she had said it with confusion as to why she had just said that. Sure, she didn't want to seem like a complete nutcase, but she could have just said yes. It was too late now to back up on her words. "We can explore some more." She glanced at the cabinet she was standing by, trying to appear interested in that rather than getting out. "Ooh, look at this. Gobstone champions - from the 1200s! How old is the school, anyway?"
