The evening was crisp as Jules walked slowly by the river. She looked over the silver lake and pondered about muggles, how terrible their lives must be to live without magic, this is why she took pity on them and excelled at muggle studies. Jules liked walking by the river, she saw her reflection, her long beautiful ginger hair contrasting against her superior pale face. "Oh how wonderful it is to be part of my family." She sighed.
Elsewhere, at the top of the hill, three Ravenclaws stood. Claudia, a gothic person who came from a muggle family, started to suggest a race. Emily, tall and skinny, and liked running, agreed, knowing she would win. Haley, 5'3, could never stay still yet still disliked racing.
"Race ahead if you two want to, I'll walk." Haley said.
And so Emily and Claudia raced, Emily's long legs took the lead, the descent down the hill made the race easier and quicker. Claudia had an idea, she was losing but not for long. Claudia threw herself into a roll, she picked up speed but did not realise that she was heading straight for Jules and the lake. Jules stood at the lake, wondering about what lived in the lake, maybe mermaids!
Then she heard a noise, startled she looked behind her. She saw a THING coming towards her, a black clothed girl coming straight for her. She tried to move but it was too late, Claudia slammed into Jules' legs knocking her into the lake, Claudia followed Jules into the lake, not by choice but because she never figured how she could stop. Emily stopped at the lake edge and Haley soon stood by her, after walkin sensibly down the hill, both of them were laughing. Claudia was bobbing her head above the water looking like a drowned cat, whereas Jules was climbing out, angry and beyond annoyed.
"CLAUDIA, YOU ARE A RAVENCLAW, AT LEAST ACT LIKE ONE." Screamed Jules angrily towards Claudia, who had begun to laugh along with Haley and Emily. "This isn't the end of this, Ravenclaws."
The Ravenclaw trio stopped laughing, Haley smirked. "That sounds like a war declaration." She said.
"It does," Emily agreed "I think we could start this little game of war!"
Jules stood wide eyed, she never meant to start a war what were these Ravenclaws on? But she hid her shock and cleared her throat. "Good luck fighting our house!"
"What is your house again?" Said Claudia, getting out of the lake and tipping the water out of her shoes. "It was, uh, not Gryffindor? No, I can't recall. Is it even a house?"
"I am Hufflepuff and proud." Said Jules, proudly, then she lifted up her chin and walked away from the three ravenclaws mumbling about how rude they were.
After she was gone Claudia grinned. "War?"
"War." Nodded Haley, Emily sighed.
"What are we going to do, steal their food?" Scoffed Emily.
"No, we're going to become the best house. We're going to pit the other houses against each other. We will run this school, say goodbye to Hufflepuff Dumbledore because we are RAVENCLAW." Growled Haley, starting to run back to the castle. "It's a castle for a reason, it's not made for teaching it's made for war." Emily and Claudia shrugged and ran after Haley, and caught up quite quick because Haley began to walk again. They were excited about the coming weeks if they truly started a war. It will be fantastic
