#ravenclaw headcanons

[ravenclaw-tower-pride]

Around exam time, the Ravenclaw Prefects and Head Boy and Girl will organise a few optional de-stress nights. Popular activities include personally enchanted moving colouring books, a make your own calming tea evening, nostalgic movie nights and the ever-beloved Galaxy Light Show. Although some students thrive under pressure, these nights are available to everyone to ensure that no one feels like they must push themselves past their limit to be accepted.

being a Ravenclaw and dating Remus Lupin would include (Part II)

Part I

Masterlist

- listening to old records while lying on the floor, limbs intertwined, your head on his shoulder

- secret stargazing on the astronomy tower

- borrowing each other's books and scribbling little notes in the margins for the other to read and add on

- remus helping you with your studies because he is way more disciplined than you are and you have zero motivation to study for classes you don't care about

- you in turn telling him every single insignificant detail about your current obsession or project

- remus listening to your rambling with a quiet smile on his face

- and just thinking to himself “merlin, i'm so in love with them”

- him occasionally dropping what you told him in conversation and you being surprised and touched by the fact that he actually did listen and cares about what you say

- you being the first person remus consults about anything

- having a very open, honest relationship because you value truth above anything else

- you learning the moon phases by heart

- studying everything there is to know about werewolves

- with some help of the marauders

- which gets interrupted by you raging over the discriminating subtext in some of the books

- specifically learning what is helpful after the full moon

- you already thinking about how you can steal diptam and silver powder and stash it in your dorm for emergencies

- remus being touched by your determination to help but also wanting to keep you out of everything that is related to his lycanthropy

- which you argue is silly so you completely ignore it

- remus kissing your temple when you're engrossed in your work

- absent-mindedly playing with his hair

- cuddling while reading

- being able to spend hours in silence while in each other's company

- rolling your eyes at his annoying friends

- but them growing on you over time

- because they are quite funny and loving and sweet and they mean a lot to remus

- and they love remus as much as you do

- (if not more lmao)

- and they are brilliant

- you are gobsmacked when you first hear about the marauder's map

- (and they are very chuffed about your reaction)

- with bright grins and swelling chests, it's kinda ridiculous

- but you don't even care because h o l y s h i t

- remus sort of brushing it off like it's nothing but you can tell he's proud of it

- rightfully so

- and you spend hours talking about how they made it and dissecting every little detail of the creation and working process

- and remus is more than happy to share them with you

- (after consulting his friends of course)

- he finds it very funny how excited you are about the map

- but also very pleased

- you praising this creation is the highest of compliments to him

- planning on getting cats after you graduate

- which sirius finds mildly (highly) offensive

- but you insists cats are better

- which kicks off a little debate between the two of you which becomes far too intense far too quickly

- at first remus is just the bemused spectator

- but when sirius insists he take his side, he takes yours

- tracing his scars with the tip of your fingers

- sometimes you and remus don't really talk or hang out for days

- not because you're fighting but because you two are busy and comfortable doing your own thing

- like you love each other

- but you also need your space and don't feel the need to be around each other 24/7

- sometimes people think you've broken up

- and they ask you about it and you're just like “no i'm just researching about moonstone and remus is heads deep into transfiguration”

- and especially the lovey-dovey couples who are all about pda are just like???

- and you and remus are also just like???

- speaking of pda you're not big on that either

- so it took people a hot second to figure out that you even were together in the first place

- but you keep it pretty low and like it that way

HC #14

Transgender Ravenclaws are encouraged, of course, to choose their own name if they choose a different one, but there is a large book in the house library filled with names and their significances.

RAVENCLAW 💙🦅🤎

Headcanons.

❝Even in the blackness, light can be found. My enemy can be outsmarted.❞

— Alex Hirsch, Journal 3

This is my house, y'all; buckle up!

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, & Slytherin. Headcanon masterlist.

The door'll let you in for witty responses.

We prop it open during exam season, when everyone's coming back from dinner, on party nights, & when no one can solve the riddle.

Questions become more difficult to answer after curfew.

Everyone waits outside & pretends not to know first night until the first-years figure it out.

Today's riddle & answer posted on the back of the door every morning; check before you leave just in case.

Sometimes you find the prefects debating over what the answer is; no one leaves the common room until someone's figured it out, so sometimes, the entirety of Ravenclaw is late to breakfast.

Again, if we absolutely can’t, we’ll prop it open.

If the door’s propped open and you remove the prop, we’ll use the guillotine on you.

Everyone has at least one hill to die on.

There's a podium by the fireplace with a record book on it of all the books in Ravenclaw's library that you can ask for help finding books from (pages flip in their own). 

If you’re in a reading slump, describe what you're looking for; we've probably got it!

If you don't like writing & highlighting in the books, it'll disappear while you have it, but everyone's free to mark in them. 

So good at reading their own messy notes and the notes their friends wrote they can read a doctor's handwriting.

And there are notes everywhere. As organized as some Raveclaws wish they could be, you can't make notebooks & journals as organized as Google Doc & Word documents. Unless, ya know … someone made a spell for that — hold on, I gotta write that down!

Professors find notes — ideas for spells & potions — on the back of homework & tests. More knowledgeable teachers will add their ideas or advice before handing it back.

Everyone leaves a copy of their favorite book with annotations before they leave seventh year. 

There's a coffee/tea cart in the common room. 

Hallways to the dorms are covered in graffiti from students long passed.

Dorms branch off based on your year. 

Girls can walk into the boy's dorms & vice versa. 

All rooms are extended for more space.

Beds are built into the wall like window seats & have bookshelves where the head and footboards should be. 

Dark blue curtains can be drawn shut if you're feeling introverted. 

Trunks go under the bed, so they're kinda high off the ground.

Cast an extension charm if you’re claustrophobic.

At the end of every year, everyone congregates in the common room, someone casts glisseo on the stairs to Ravenclaw tower, & everyone slides their trunks down (it's called "the trunk shoving").

No one gives a single sh¡t about house points.

Ravenclaw’s are always blowing something up & losing points.

Dramatic about stubbing their toe, but super casual about ending up in the hospital wing because they "wanted to test a hypothesis."

If you have a question or don't understand something, ask it loudly in the common room; someone will undoubtedly answer or direct you to another who can.

Just don't use bad grammar, or sixteen people will correct you in unison. 😅

Learn (a) new language(s) in the common room 20:00–21:00 Mon.–Fri.

Tutoring sessions are in the common room at 21:00–22:00 Mon.–Fri. Or ask for private lessons to work around your schedule.

If a particular teacher's sh¡t, we host a class in the common room after dinner.

Also, there're just classes for random stuff: art, budgeting, codes & code-breaking, cooking, dancing, darning, fencing, ice skating (in the winter months), knot tying, lock picking, makeup, Morse code, muggle martial arts, sewing…

First years are all offered a class on note taking.

A lot of us do our homework on Friday night so we don't have to worry about it all weekend, so there're no party activities tonight, but you can play a muggle board game if you want.

Karaoke on Saturday nights.

Dungeons & Dragons on Sunday nights.

D&D’s swapped out for a play once a month; screw the theater ban! (For an explanation of Hogwarts’s theater ban, see Albus Dumbledore’s notes on “The Fountain of Fair Fortune” in The Tales of Beedle the Bard.)

Morning yoga in the common room — feel free to join; we'll teach you some poses.

Ask around; whatever you're looking for — info, candy, contraband — someone probably hands it out, sells it, can get it for you, and/or can tell you where to find it.

Pass around a spell that allows them to clean themselves. Who has time for showering?

And a potion that gives them the same feeling & energy as if they slept. Who has time for sleeping?

Yes, we're building a guillotine in the common room.

Please don't utilize it in the decapitation of any living person or thing (unless it's the Snape or Umbridge)!

Our next project is a carousel. With working lights & everything.

Yes, we're building a house of cards in the common room; please don't blow on it.

Be quiet until noon on the weekends or get hexed.

Thank Merlin they teach sign language in the common room every year & everyone knows enough to get by.

Parties are highly regulated.

People volunteer to walk people back to their dorms & put up protection charms so you don't get assaulted. Those people are vetted with Veritaserum first to confirm the authenticity of their intentions.

People often get into academic debates, which can get a bit loud; just silencio them & move on.

The entrances to the dorms are hidden behind moving bookshelves.

The Ravenclaw copy of Hogwarts: A History will tell you more than you realized you needed to know; there're enough notes in the margins to make a second book, including how to enter the kitchens, how to sneak out if the castle, how to find the Room of Requirement…

They've located more secret passages & rooms in Hogwarts using spells they created than the Marauders were aware of.

First-years are told how to put extension charms on their backpacks so they're not heavy — that's a crap-ton of stairs.

There's an incredibly thick book by a armchair near the fireplace that's full of testaments of Ravenclaw's alumni. "What's one thing you wish you'd known when you started Hogwarts?" First-years are encouraged to flip through it.

And taught a low-concentration spell for levitating books while laying down so your arms don't get tired (flick wand to turn page).

Common room's extended to fit all kinds of activities (and the bookshelves).

Some third-years built an aquaponic system on top of one of the window seats; take a cucumber, if you want, or stop to look at the fish.

Again, explosions are not uncommon. (Please don’t drop any explosives in the fish tank. As water isn’t as compressible as air, this will kill the fish.)

Everyone just kinda glances over to make sure you’re okay before going back to what they were doing.

There's always a record playing.

They host a hike through the Forbidden Forest once a week, because what even are rules?

If you hear an intelligent conversation taking place, feel free to sit down & listen or jump in!

The wind whistles against the windows all year round, but they've been charmed to keep water out.

Played The Floor is Lava before it was a meme.

There's a two-way mirror on the wall above the fireplace. There's a muggle television on the other side. No one's sure whose T.V. it is, but a lady comes in in the mornings in hair curlers & watches the news.

She puts in V.H.S. tapes of Disney movies at the start of term. Hypothesis says it's for the first years & this person's a half-blood or a muggle-born.

Sometimes, people work together to solve the Friday crossword in The Daily Prophet. It's the hardest all week.

Look at each other like they're the camera in The Office when someone says something stupid.

Oh, boy, if someone's found a really good mystery book… That sh¡t’s getting magically copied & passed around. We discuss theories at meals, pass notes in class, & set up a murder board in the common room.

Actually, Ravenclaw house has solved a number of murders in its free time.

“i am this close to dropkicking all of you into oblivion”

i have one sibling in every hogwarts house, so here’s some weird things each of them does...

gryffindor

will walk up the stairs, stare at you for a minute straight, and then make a random animal sound (usually a pterodactyl screech) before laughing and leaving again

unironically blasts “all i want for christmas is you” at 8 o’clock in the morning on black friday

will call you at really inopportune moments only to breathe heavily into the phone, laugh after a minute or so, and ask you if mom is home (after she just told them she was leaving.)

if they get take out they always offer to get you something and then pay for it, but then they hold it over your head, later

never has cash on them, despite always being able to buy you take out

which means they never tip the doordasher, rip

honestly doesn’t care if they’re left out of family things™ but brings up all the times you did something without them randomly, just to guilt trip you

always makes plans for when they will come into money but never does

plans to get really expensive gifts for birthdays or holidays but then doesn’t have money when the time comes

impulsively sells their electronics (like playstations and xboxes) for money only to buy new electronics

and then eventually buy back the same model of the one they sold

actually stays out of a lot of family drama by just never leaving their room

needs “background noise” to sleep so they end up hogging netflix all night despite not actually watching it

yells loudly when playing video games, much to ravenclaw’s annoyance

stays up until 5 o’clock in the morning playing video games then doesn’t wake up until noon

only sings to annoy others

put a nylon on their head and had a cousin (an enablist ravenclaw) pour cereal and milk into their covered mouth

ravenclaw filmed and encouraged this

stole the microwave in the kitchen to put in their room

aLWAYS HAS THE TV ON BUT NEVER WATCHES IT

constantly deletes and recreates their instagram account

unironically likes riverdale

watched the entirety of the clone wars and then made fun of me and hufflepuff when they saw us watching it.

absolutely did not care what i put on this post

ravenclaw

will mutter a joke under their breath, and then when no one laughs, will say “wow. guess i’m not loved.”

went through a pirate, ancient egypt, ancient greek, and dinosaur phase at various points in their life

for the most part you would never guess but occasionally they will hit you with a bit of obscure knowledge that makes you go ???

planned a scavenger hunt based on the meme of ted cruz being the zodiac killer 

enlisted the help of their sibling, a slytherin, to create an ottendorf cipher to make it interesting 

gets enraged by the fact that gryffindor never tips doordashers

doesn’t want to be left out of family things™ but also doesn’t want to do them

doesn’t let their financial status known and will just suffer™ in dignified silence

will float gryffindor money to buy electronics, only to get hella upset when gryffindor inevitably sells them

needs a special pillow and a sleep mask to sleep

is dead silent 80% of the time but will break out into song in the middle of the kitchen, completely unprompted

will be completely silent and then say “they ask you how you are, and you just have to say you’re fine when you’re not really fine, but you just can’t get into it, because they would never understand.”

films gryffindor’s antics

used the microwave in gryffindor’s room without passing judgement

randomly deletes or renames everyone’s accounts on netflix

or will troll others, making a second account identical to their own

mostly to annoy gryffindor or hufflepuff

has zero posts on instagram. obscure stories only.

reinvents their entire style every three years or so.

has zero consistency when it comes to music taste

likes to think they’re better than gryffindor because they watch scandal and how to get away with murder instead of riverdale

begged me to make this post (specifically to roast gryffindor) and then got very offended by what i put here

hufflepuff

will interrupt you in the middle of a conversation, and then when you finally turn to them, will go, “uhh..... i forgot.”

has a complete inability to finish their food, no matter how hungry they are. even if they finish their first plate they will get a second or third and fail to finish it in the end.

is constantly binging tv - is keeping up with 5 shows at any given moment

if you ask them to do something they don’t want to do, they either do it anyway or pretend they didn’t hear your request

this combined with them pretending to be asleep to avoid work

they never want to be left out of family things™ but only want to do half of it or one very specific job (usually doing the place setting for dinner or something equally as effortless)

is strangely good at getting other people to give them money but is also willing to give you some if you need it

encourages gryffindor to sell their electronics but then backs up ravenclaw when they get angry about it

never sleeps but when they do it can be anywhere at any time

sings while doing homework

also sings when they hear you coming toward them and can sense you need something (then they pretend they can’t hear you because they are singing and if you get louder so do they)

is very confused by gryffindor’s antics

was visibly upset when gryffindor put the microwave in their room and refused to use it for four months after it had been returned to the kitchen because it was “tainted”

has an ungodly amount of tabs open on google chrome at all times

they have zero storage in their phone because it’s full of really blurry photos they refuse to delete

also refuses to delete photos on instagram - even the cringey ones - because they “die like men”

is rightfully horrified by gritty reboots like riverdale

rewatches cartoons and disney channel only

has an inexplicable hatred for anakin skywalker and jar jar binks

i haven’t told them about this post because i fear they will go feral once they know of it’s existence

slytherin

will ghost you for two months and then do an instagram story about missing their family and always wanting to be there for you

used to be such a people pleaser that they did a sport that they actually hated for four years

buys scarily accurate gifts but then never tell you how they know

says they don’t care if they’re left out of family things™ but actually does

either has lots of money that no one was aware of or is hella broke but can play it off really well

tells gryffindor not to sell their electronics but also tells them the place to get the best price

manages to stay out of a lot of minor family drama but is at the center of larger debates

can sleep anywhere and can sleep through literal earthquakes but wakens at the sound of footsteps and someone opening their door

they can also tell who is walking around by the sound of their footsteps alone

is quiet 80% of the time but has the decency to break out into song only when behind closed doors

big shower singer

is never present for gryffindor’s antics but laughs and says to do it again (with suggestions for them) when they see the video

reprimanded gryffindor for putting the microwave in their room but frequently used it.

a morning person

(there are 3 slytherins in my house and all of them are morning people, explain that.)

will keep their icon for netflix and other accounts (like their g-mail, instagram, or even myspace) recent, but the photo is never actually their face - just a weird aesthetic photo

unironically loves instagram stories

makes then religiously, too

has never seen gritty reboots like riverdale but watches youtube videos that hate on them

loved hayden christensen as anakin skywalker and will die defending him

laughed while reading this post - especially at their own idiocy

AND FLUFF ENSUES.

Ravenclaw Studying Headcanons

•They listen to music or any kind of noise while they’re writing

•If they’re listening to music and they start singing along, they start writing the lyrics instead of what they should be writing

•They take detailed and precise notes, and will doodle in the margins of their notebooks

•They can get easily distracted while taking notes, and sometimes lose their place in their textbooks or notebooks

•Also gets distracted by their phones going off or anything, honestly

•Some of us get distracted from our work pretty easily

•Will go over their notes a few times to check for errors or if they need to add anything

•Can write their notes word for word without looking back at the textbook

•Practices and experiments with their handwriting while taking notes, trying out new styles and choosing what works best for them

•Smudged graphite from keeping their hands too close to their writing

•Eraser and pencil shavings all over their desk/notebook/workspace

•Share their notes with over Ravenclaws and compare them, helping one another if someone missed something or needs clarification

•Uses an extensive vocabulary in their notes

•Sometimes improvised or writes something down in a way that makes sense to them the most

[imaginationhyperload]

Kind of a headcanon: Have you ever noticed that ALL of the hogwarts houses compliment each other with opposites?

Just think about it like this-

True, in some ways:

~Gryffindor is opposite to Slytherin  

And perhaps some of you have noticed that:

~Hufflepuff is opposite to Ravenclaw

BUT in OTHER ways:

~Slytherin is Opposite to Hufflepuff

~Ravenclaw is Opposite to Gryffindor

And even JUST a little bit:

Ravenclaw is Opposite to Slytherin

Hufflepuff is Opposite to Gryffindor

Here are some interesting comparisons to prove my point:

-On a color wheel red and green are direct complimentary colors (Yellow actually compliments purple on the color wheel instead of blue, but that contrast of light to dark is still present)

-Slytherins value RESOURCEFULNESS as a primary trait, which decreases how hard you have to work, but Hufflepuffs have a primary trait of HARD WORK.

-it’s easy to imagine that Gryffindors and Ravenclaws often have the classic brain versus brawn thing going on, but also remember that Gryffindors value CHIVALRY while Ravenclaws value WIT. How are these opposites? Chivalry is related to politeness and courtesy (which is awesome), and wit CAN be used to show Chivalry, but wit can ALSO be used to be rude, or to tell people off that you do not want to pretend to hold respect for. So chivalry defends honor while wit can potentially destroy honor.

-Gryffindors value NERVE which, while beneficial because it is hard to get a Gryffindor to stray from their moral compass when nerve is present, can sometimes lead to stubbornness and a resistance to certain things, but Hufflepuffs value PATIENCE, witch means they are often willing to wait as long as needed for other people to accept change. Gryffindors are not often willing to wait for very long before jumping into action (do I even have to start naming examples of Harry and Ron, and OCCASIONALLY Hermione, doing this exact thing?)

-Gryffindors are Fire to Slytherin’s water, but remember that Ravenclaws are Air to Hufflepuff’s Earth as well.

-The sorting hat mentions that Slytherins, who value AMBITION as a primary characteristic of their house, will do pretty much anything to get what they want (I’m paraphrasing a bit here). However, Ravenclaws value WISDOM, which means Ravenclaws have the ability to recognize that what they WANT is not always what is BEST, and that there are some things that just shouldn’t be done in the pursuit of a goal. Slytherins are not exactly known for abandoning their goals simply because the outcomes of their actions may cause future problems for themselves or others.

-This brings up another point that many, though not all, Slytherins usually value their own lives and agendas above those of other people and aren’t keen on sharing their stuff or changing their opinions or traditions. Ravenclaws value LEARNING, which often includes being able to alter actions and viewpoints in order to avoid repeating past mistakes. Here’s an example: Keep in mind that many, if not all the death eater (besides Peter Pettigrew obviously) were Slytherins (though not all Slytherins were death eaters, case in point Professor Slughorn) and that the Death Eaters were not exactly willing to accept that magic users who carried muggle blood of any sort could be as worthy of learning magic as the purebloods were. This inability to accept the societal change of opinions supporting half bloods and muggleborns lead to disaster. The Ravenclaws on the other hand.... well if they can accept a guy who wore a jellyfish for a hat (Uric the Oddball) as being important enough to their legacy to put him on a chocolate frog card, then I’m PRETTY sure that they’ll accept almost ANYONE so long as they’re willing to learn or at least follow their own passion without causing detriment to others along the way. “Blood status doesn’t really matter in the end. Being a pureblood doesn’t automatically make you smarter than anyone else. Hey you wanna look for nargles with me?” -Probably Luna Lovegood at some point (I made this up)

-Hufflepuff is known to value LOYALTY, but some Slytherins will use betrayal to accomplish their end goals because their ambition is stronger.

-So how are Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw opposite exactly? Well Ravenclaws tend to be very individualistic and unique. Hufflepuffs are loyal to a fault and likely tend to show a lot of teamwork and togetherness values as a consequence. These things can conflict with the more independent Ravenclaws, especially if the Ravenclaws rare competitive while the Hufflepuffs are not.

-A final point is that Hufflepuffs value LOYALTY and JUSTICE, but a Ravenclaw knows that loyalty doesn’t always last and not everything in life is fair, so sometimes people leave you behind and people do not always get what they deserve  (not that Hufflepuffs DON’T know that! They’re not stupid, but they might be more optimistic than the Ravenclaws)

So..... why aren’t there more house rivalry moments besides Gryffindor and Slytherin presented?

Sincerely, A Ravenclaw with an overly analytical mind.

In this essay I will

[wizcrdingheadcanons]

280. Not many people knew but the ravenclaw door knocker was actually amazing at giving advice. Ravenclaws would stand and vent, only for the knocker to reply back with wisdom and help.

Ravenclaws & Prefects

Here we GO

Right. Ravenclaws from a distance are going to be really great Prefects. Fact. 

They’re witty aka they’re so much fun to be around and if you’re looking to them as role models they are super duper because they can be so original in their outlook on life and their outward expressions. They’re gonna make you feel so comfortable like having a cup of hot chocolate by the fire.

So I truly believe they will be great with students of all houses.

However, imagine the Prefects meetings LMAO someone send help.

Not only do we have all 4 houses working together here (which is a struggle in itself) but we have theoretically some of the most ‘responsible’ and ‘influential’ people of the house trying to make plans and solve problems. 

Poor Ravenclaw prefects. I feel sorry for them. I really do.

Imagine the prefects are trying to plan an event. We’ll focus on Ravenclaws here. They’re going to want to have most control over things. I’m not saying they like to be a leader/ in control (definitely not) but they have a ‘vision’ and they’re gonna want to see that through to the end. If they want emerald green tablecloths with rose petals they will die unless they have EMERALD GREEN TABLECLOTHS WITH ROSE PETALS. 

They’re creative guys. Even if their creative ideas seem wacky, once it’s all put together, it will be majestic. But only Ravenclaws and the creative and artistic ones from the other houses are gonna be able to see that. Even still, they could have their doubts.

As I said, they’re witty. So they’re not as sarcastic as Slytherin, but blunt enough. Especially if their riled up.

Ravenclaw Prefect: “I’m just thinking” *whips out sketch book filled with scrawls* “what about we have like little spells in the banners around the castle so when someone walks past it shoots out fireworks?”

Hufflepuff Prefect: “Yeah, that could kill someone???”

Ravenclaw Prefect: “Okay, okay, I understand your concern but what if you maybe just took a step back and appreciated my vision instead of bringing down the party as always okay???”

Hufflepuff Prefect: “Killing! Dead bodies! Not a great plan!”

Ravenclaw Prefect: “What if the fireworks turned to bubbles if they came in contact with someone then?

Slytherin Prefect: “That sounds too complex and a complete time-waster.”

Ravenclaw Prefect: “Look, just because you all have problems with Charms - yes, I checked your records (you’re on a Poor at the moment, Culpens) - doesn’t mean I do.”

They just want to make sure everything is perfect you know? Yet, I can’t see them wanting to take total credit for it if their ideas are used. If any of the ideas show some superior magical intellect like an amazing spell that makes people blow fire when they drink the punch, then yes, they’re likely to love the shower of praise. Otherwise, they just want to make people happy.

[caffeinated-cookie-blog]

Ravenclaws! 📚

- REALLY into the house points thing. Whenever someone loses points for the house they don’t tell them the answer to the riddle if they can’t solve it, thus locking them out for a few good hours.

- “Okay I guess that’s a legit reason but mine is better”

- Doesn’t really have a type of music? They just listen to what songs they like. They really can’t be categorised.

- All of them are really good writers with vivid senses of description and great at plot making, but some of them never write in their life time because it’s too boring for them.

- Sweatpants. You walk into the Ravenclaw common room, you’ll find at least 3 (three) people wearing sweatpants. Hey, what can I say, they’re practical and comfortable.

- Goes to Slytherin whenever they’re down. Somehow rude and blunt ‘get your SHIT together’s are more effective than Hufflepuff’s sweet comforting and Gryffindor’s offer to fight anyone (Gryffindors aren’t the best at cheering up people from other houses)

- Adores Tic Tacs. No questions asked.

- A few of the sixth - seventh years did a campaign/protest thing in which the rules of Hogwarts made wearing skirts optional, because some girls feel uncomfortable in skirts and want to wear pants. (P.S. If wearing skirts is already optional and this makes 0 sense, please tell me and I’ll change it. My memory of Hogwarts is a biiiit rusty.)

- Seem intent on proving and convincing others they are the best house. They go around cheering ‘Ravenclaw is the best house’ (one of them got into a fight with a Slytherin because of that).

- Galaxy patterns! Their ceilings, beds, walls, even floors are adorned with charms that make it look like a galaxy. It’s a bit trippy, but once you get used to it, it looks super pretty and cool.

- Even though some of them can’t stand books, ALL of them are always open to learning new things. 

- Makes bets with Slytherins all the time.

Ravenclaw Common Room Headcanons

Randomly thought about this while working so here it is!

⠈⠁⠐⠐⠐⠐⠐⠄✧⠂⠂⠁⠐⠐⠠⡀⠂⠈✧⠐⠐⠁⡀⠐⠐✧⠁⠐⠄⠈

• you can never see the floor of the common room because it’s always covered in paper and books

• it’s not just homework

• it’s doodles, drawings of anything, half written story drafts, three liner poems, even just a piece of paper with a single line or a word

• which results in ravenclaws shrieking and sobbing bc they can’t find that paper

• the book shelves literally have like three books on there

• bc all the books are scattered on the floor

• half drank mugs of coffee and tea on the desks

• the house elves literally stop trying to clean up the papers

• they just pick up the mugs and go

• worn couches and arm chairs and beanbags bc the ravenclaws are always lounging and doing work there

• random easels and paint palettes scattered around the room

• paintbrushes and pencils and quills can be found all over the floor

• dorms are basically untouched bc almost all the claws sleep in the common room

• sometimes it takes the ravenclaw knocker has to remind the claws to sleep and eat

• or maybe just a concerned puff friend

• instrument cases lining the walls

• a big ass piano in the middle of the room

• they have enough instruments in the room to start an orchestra

• the common room floors are half carpet (for sleeping!) and half wood

• a small portion of the room is completely clean for the performing arts claws who need to practicing dancing

Hogwarts Houses As Songs Part Two

Gryffindor: Warriors - Imagine Dragons

Here we are, don't turn away now,

We are the warriors that built this town

Here we are, don't turn away now

We are the warriors that built this town

From dust.

Ravenclaw: Cool Kids - Echosmith

I wish that I could be like the cool kids

'Cause all the cool kids, they seem to fit in

I wish that I could be like the cool kids

Like the cool kids.

Hufflepuff: Stand By You - Rachel Platten

'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through

Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you

Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you.

Slytherin: Demons - Imagine Dragons

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide.

-Mod Xiao.

No. 34

A Ravenclaw founds the world's first Wizarding University, where people can go to specialise in magic subjects and learn further than what is offered at school. Although this isn't especially necessary for the wizarding society in terms of jobs, it offers the ability for people to study things they're interested in.

Things guys normally do that look terribly hot when Fred does them

It's canon, he told me himself.

Leaning on the door frame while talking to you

Running the hands through his hair subconsciously, when he's thinking or when he's sweaty after quidditch practice

Stretching, just that. When he's tired in the mornings, or even if he's trying to reach something that's really high and his shirt lifts a little

Helping younger students. no explanation needed here, it's just hot when he helps kids

Being protective, not in a possessive way but in a hold my hand I don't wanna loose you way

Rolling up his shirt sleeves, does this need an explanation too or...?

Remus: I think I am in love with Sirius.

Lily: I'm sorry?

Remus: I said, I think I'm-

Lily: No, I heard what you said, I'm just sorry for you.
