HARRY POTTER HISTORY MEME: two Hogwarts founders [2/2]

Rowena Ravenclaw

Rowena Ravenclaw was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her most notable traits were her intelligence and creativity, which she also valued in the students of her house. According to a popular historical theory,  the location and name of the school were both chosen when she dreamt that a warty hog was leading her to a cliff by the lake. She also came up with its ever-changing floor plan. It’s said that she died sometime in the 11th century of a “broken heart”.

Yes but please just imagine:

-Ravenclaws that skip history of magic and chill at the lake and discuss space and matter

-Ravenclaws that sketch/paint/draw wherever they are and wear odd artsy muggle clothes

-Ravenclaws that don’t know all the school books by heart but can explain the entire process of human evolution

-Ravenclaws that love poetry so much that they start quoting their favorite poems all day simply to annoy other people

-Ravenclaws that are NOT backstabbing

-Ravenclaws that don’t care about their grades

-Ravenclaws that have sleepover parties in front of the entrance to their common room because they’re all too drunk to answer the riddle correctly

-Ravenclaws that listen to the sweet sounds of heavy metal and hardstyle while studying

-Ravenclaws that are confused when others think Ravenclaws only like classic and jazz music

-Ravenclaws that have a great emotional intelligence and love playing the house therapist

-Ravenclaws that make technology work in their common room so they can all watch their favorite films and tv shows together

-Ravenclaws that use the common room as art gallery for all their paintings

-Ravenclaws that have friends in every house, because Ravenclaw is the most accepted of all the four houses

-Ravenclaws that are cool, friendly, fun and/or out-going

-Ravenclaws that are not the stereotype

-Ravenclaws that are actually like Ravenclaws should be: witty, intelligent, creative, original and open-minded
