Fine, he wanted it tugged hard, she would tug it hard. It wouldn't work, because, she actually might know what she was talking about when she said it was jammed. Hadley grabbed on with both hands and tugged as hard as her thirteen year old strength would allow. Nada. Just like she thought. Not that he would believe her.
It was time to show him! Hadley put a foot against the stone wall and used the combined strength of her leg and arms to tug. And then...she was tumbling backwards with the handle still in her hands. "Ow!" She landed painfully on her hip and looked up at the still closed door. Then at the handle in her hand. Back at the door. "Genius!" She tossed the handle against the floor. It skittered away. "Just tug it harder. It's not fragile!" I'm a giant idiot! That was him. That was exactly what he sounded like. "Any more bright ideas, Professor Dance-A-Lot?"
............. Alright, he was starting to get a little worried.
Not because he thought they wouldn't be able to get out, but because he didn't want to have to deal with this child any longer than he was required to during lessons. She was already pushing him with the hour a day schedule.
Finally, James looked up from his book to watch her struggle with the door. He would've laughed at the failed attempts, but... She managed to sour his mood. Surprise. "Careful, Denaker," he watched her. "You're already on thin ice, considering the welcome feast." Did she not remember? Did she need a refresher on the proper way to behave in front of a Professor? Because he could give her one, y'know, considering the fact that they were stuck here now.
And he was still sat on his chair, by the way. Wasn't going to help until she did away with the attitude.
