While their other two teammates had been keeping a better eye on what Arcturus was doing, Isabelle had been lagging behind, her mind not quite on the task at hand. She jumped when she heard the sound of moving rock, and someone tumbling. She hurried forward, looking worried.
She wasn't so heartless, afterall...
I swear, if one of you got hurt and gets me in trouble...
...Well, okay. The jury's still out.
She reached the passageway as the Hufflepuff boy was offering Arcturus a hand to get up.
"What have you found here?... I'm not sure you were supposed to open it, but whatever. Move over, guys, I'll try the spell."
Not really waiting for the others to comment, she snapped her wand up and chanted the incantation.
"Specialis Revelio!"

Arcturus accepted the Hufflepuff boy's offer of help both grudgingly and awkwardly. As he dusted himself off, he saw Isabelle performing the Specialis Revelio charm. Good, he was just about to tell her to do that.
Guess she isn't as dumb as she looks . . . or sounds.
"Then someone should go back to tell Zea what we found. She said she doesn't want anyone setting off booby traps."
Arcturus said quietly, in order not to break Isabelle's concentration. He wondered what she was seeing. He considered trying the spell himself but wasn't sure about Isabelle's stability, so decided to wait and see what she had found.
What do you know, she might have learned something worthwhile.

There is indeed a magical footprint, but it doesn't appear to be any spell you've ever seen on the curriculum.

Isabelle stared at the magical footprints in the passageway for some time, frowning.
"... Yeah. I see something. Not quite sure what it is, probably a minor trap. Probably some kids using this place as a secret hideout or something."
She mused for some time then turned to the others. "How about you guys go and get Professor Winters? I'll stay here and make sure no one steals our spot."

Arcturus was skeptical. He didn't know how much of a good idea it was to let Isabelle guard the stuff, but he didn't feel like arguing, so he let it slide. He trudged back to the room where they had met, followed by the other two, clearly uninterested, students.
He walked up to Miss Winters.
"Excuse me. We found something, but there's something that might be a kids booby trap. We thought we out to get you anyway. It's this way."
He started to walk away, glancing back to see if she was following.

Isabelle paced around the passageway for some time.
Mmmm... It can't be anything major. This is a school, after all, they wouldn't leave dangerous traps lying around... Yeah. Her warnings were probably meant for the younger students, so that they don't prick a finger or something. I can't figure out what this spell is, but it has to be something small.
Just a silly little harmless trap, it has to be. I can understand about the kids, but I don't need to get an adult to get rid of this... Maybe I'll get extra points if I can dispel it myself! That'll show the girls...
Her mind set, she approached the entrance with her wand pointed in front of her. She leaned into the passageway, preparing to try a spell to disarm the trap. But just as she put her free hand on the side of the wall for support, there was a quick flash and a whoosh, and Isabelle quickly pulled herself away from the passage, smoke filling the area.
Whoops, looks like I set it off. Well, as I though, nothing too dangerous... I just have to clear this smoke out before anyone comes around...
Swishing her wand, she pointed at the air around her. "Amoveo!" Most of the smoke disappeared, the rest dispersing naturally soon after.
Here we are. None the wiser.
... What's that smell?
