(Open!)
"Are you sure this is the right way?" the girl asked apprehensively as she followed Lianna up a small set of stone stairs lit only by torches along the wall. Her sneakers made soft tapping sounds against the stone as she felt her way up the steps in the rather-dark area, hand moving against the wall. Clad in a pair of old, tattered jeans and a sweatshirt, the Hufflepuff continued to follow the other first year to the top of the stairs.
"Yes, yes of course it is," Lianna called back. Her eyes remained glued to a tapestry at the end of the small corridor, supposedly the exit of this secret shortcut into the sixth floor.
Abigail bit her lower lip as she reached the tapestry and stood beside Lianna. "Is this the way out?"

"Looks like it, its the only tapestry I see." She countered with a small shake of her head. The girl was so worried, its not like they'd come out on the wrong floor or anything. She was sure of it. Not that there really was a 'right corridor' when searching for passages.
Cautiously the girl pulled the tapestry aside enough to see out and peer up the corridor in both directions. "Looks clear..." She said as she clambered herself through the gap.

Abigail held the cloth back as she too climbed through the hidden hole and into the sixth floor corridor. Brushing off some dust and dirt left on her clothes from the passage, the Huffle sneezed. "I guess the house elves don't clean those places too often, huh?" She looked up and down the hallway. "Wanna' look around here?"

Guess not.." Lianna replied with a small giggle, upon after murmuring a 'Bless you'. Her brwon eyes danced with curosity as her friend spoke again. Explore here, there, anywhere would do really, she just wanted to find something.
"Gotta start somewhere right?" She replied, as she gave a small shrug.

"Thanks," she said in response to Lianna's 'bless you'. "Yeah..well, you want to check out the rooms around here or what? We could look behind the portraits or the knights and see if we can find any other passages." Abby glanced at the countless paintings lining the stone walls and the few knights in shining armor. Hopefully the people in the portraits and the knights wouldn't mind the Hufflepuffs little explorations.

"No problem, might as well get started...be ready to stop right away if someone comes along." She warned with a small frown. She doubted anyone would actually tell on them, not that it would do any good, what toruble could they really get into for looking for pasages? It wasn't against the rules as far as she knew.
Her gaze followed Abi's, her frown turning into a grin. "Lotta gorund to cover." She claimed.
