R owena's mighty intentions
Let Salazar collect his little princelings. Let Godric train his army. Let Helga take her stand for equality and justice and all her precious ideals.
Rowena knew the world would need as many reasonable, wise heads as she could provide. The world needed as many open-minded, soundly reasoning pupils as she could train. If she could drill out every prejudice, hone intelligence so it was without restriction, discipline them to turn their thoughts to alternative solutions to the problems of the world…
They would end up advisors to Salazar's ambitious, scheming politicians. Let them rule if they must have power. Infuse them with wisdom, whisper it in their ear.
They would end up strategists plotting the attacks of Godric's warriors. Let the principled and brave burst into the world as a force to be reckoned with. Guide it so it did more good than harm.
They would end up mediators and cynical realists putting out the fires caused by Helga's insistent idealists. Let the strong and loyal have their little world. Help them make it a reality by making them see reason.
It would not satisfy ambition as well, provide deeds worthy of song, or make her the revered and beloved leader of a determined band. Instead, they would be the voices of reason shining a light on all of these proceedings, thinking outside of the narrow paths each of the other Houses trod. They would find a way where the other Houses would not. They would find a way for the other Houses to succeed.
Where Ravenclaws went, things would get done. When Ravenclaws were listened to, things would be done right.
