It was around midnight and Rowena Ravenclaw, the wisest witch of her time, was asleep.

She did not notice as her eldest daughter, Helena, crept up above her.

"Helena? What are you doing?" Helena whipped her head around. Standing behind her was her younger brother by two years: Dade Ravenclaw.

"I was just looking at the diadem." Dade nodded, not yet satisfied. The two had always been extremely close. "Dade- I- I'm going to Albania. With my friend. I don't know how to tell mother." It was a lie, of course it was, and Dade could tell.

"I'm going to come too." he decided. "Who's the friend? I'll send a letter." Now she was caught like a spider in her web of lies. But she kept going, motivated by her selfish desire to prove herself better than her mother.

"I didn't want to tell her because...it's Slytherins heir. She is going by the name of Fidie Gaunt." Another lie. Slytherin didn't even have a child!

Dade's eyebrows rose. "I... wasn't aware there was any such person? Fidie...that's a fitting name. Is she his only child?"

"No. There's a brother- a squib, she says. Named Pura Sanguis Slytherin. Didn't live up to the name." Another one!

"Is she...parselmouth?"

"Of course she is! Why would you ask such a thing? You know the answer. It'll give you no knowledge." It wasn't wise at all.

He backed away. 'Good!' she thought.

"I" Dade regained his posture. "I only wished to clarify! But that doesn't explain what on earth you were doing up here 'Lena! Surely, it'd be better to wait until Mother was up and fresh?" No it wasn't wise to lie. But it was too late now.

"I wished to try on the diadem and see what would be the wisest option." For soon, the diadem would be hers.

"Heina" Dade whispered, using the nickname he'd trashed when he was 5. "Whatever you're planning- don't do it. You won't tell me and that means it's not something wise or right!"

She took a deep breath. She was a 20 year old opposite of her mother: with blond hair, sky-blue eyes, and rosy skin.

Dade on the other hand- he was Rowena exactly. Black hair, pale skin but blue eyes like Helena.

Helena took him in a hug. Still, Rowena slept. She raised a hand and performed a silent 'Petrificus Totalus'.

"I'm sorry Dade." she told his horrified form. His eyes constricted as she took the diadem. "I'm sorry to you only."

Sparing a single, haughty look at Rowena, she smirked and Disapparated.

Hi! The name 'Helena' means bright light. The name Dade means 'Dark one'. Since they're opposites, i though this was fitting.

Fidie is derived from the greek word for Snake. Pura Sanguis is Latin for Pure-Blood.

Should I continue? You tell me!

Quote of the day: "A Gryffindor will die for you. A Slytherin will kill for you. A Hufflepuff will die with you. A Ravenclaw will figure out a solution in which nobody dies."
