Helena Ravenclaw was always outshone by her mother, who was not only one of the four founders of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry but was also one of the smartest witches of the age. Helena while smart and moderately pretty would never be able to compete with such beauty and wisdom as her mother.
It was along these lines that Helena was thinking when she made the drastic decision that would change both of their lives forever. Helena Ravenclaw was going to prove her worth to the world but to do that she needed her mother's diadem. She shivered at the thought- that diadem was a part of her mother she almost couldn't believe that she even contemplated what she was going to do, knowing it would destroy her mother to do so… Almost.
Helena crept silently through the many winding corridors heading for her mother's chambers, situated in the west tower, the furthest away point of the house from her own room.She can't get far enough away from me. She'll be glad that I'm gone. Helena kept telling herself trying and failing to rid the guilty knot that was developing in the pit of her stomach.
As Helena neared the west tower she attempted to mask the sound her feet made on the cold stone floor, but as the noise made by her feet became less the noise of her breath became more apparent and the more she tried to mask it the louder it became. Nerves wound their way round her chest like a boa constricter, restricting her breathing as she climbed the many steps to her mother's room. The paintings around her kept muttering and pointing at her as she crept by and she was thankful when finally the darkness swallowed her, shielding her from their penetrating stares.
Not far now, nearly their. She panted, breathing in short gasps as the tightness in her chest increased. She finally reached the top of the steps and saw the door; it appeared to be glaring at her like it knew what she was about to do. None of the oxygen she was taking in didn't seemed to be reaching her lungs; dizziness took over her mind, she staggered over to the nearest wall and slid down it placing her head between her legs and taking deep shuddering breaths.
Just turn back, it's a stupid idea and it wont work. Coaxed a voice in her head. You don't really want to leave do you? "I've got to!" She said out loud. "I haven't got this far to turn back now, that would be cowardly!" With that Helena stood up and took a deep breath before slowly opening the door. She stood in the door way and looked tentatively around, she hadn't been inside since she was about seven and now at eighteen she was a lot more cautious. She finally spotted the small, jewl encrusted box on her mothers dressing table. Helena whipped out her wand and silently muttered a small incantation to see if there were any spells that would prevent her from taking the diadem, there were none. Helena breathed a sigh of relief then immediately clapped her hand to her mouth in dismay and peered over at the lump on the large four poster bed at the far end of the room. The lump stirred, Helena tensed picturing various horrible incidents in her mind, the lump turned over to face the other way and a very loud snore erupted from it. Helena relaxed, pleased to see that even the great Rowena Ravenclaw snores in her sleep, and tip toed over to the dressing table. She opened it wearily and the diadem twinkled at her from its depths. She snapped it shut and looked around at the chambers hesitantly before placing it in her bag with the rest of her belongings. She slunk out of the room and closed the door quietly behind her.
