This bit bothered me too, it’s pretty out-of-character for them. I think they’d indulge her going over it once, but not twice or thrice, so it’d be better if @lsusr rewrote this chapter to add some reactions of theirs and some reason they’d accept it, and her managing to figure it out after that one single attempt.
One option might be her figuring out one smaller-ish thing at her first attempt, let’s say, the Chamber of Secrets, making them excited. Then drop the second attempt, moving straight to the third attempt, where the two truly secret areas are revealed, and adding their reaction at this.

Maybe she reminds them of Harry.
I like this idea. Maybe she could even say something in particular that reminds them?
