Hello, I thought I'd write a Ravenclaw story- so here it is. PLEASE REVIEW!


"Alexander Starr."

Alex's heart skipped a beat as he quickly walked forwards and sat down on the stool. He placed the Sorting Hat on his head.

"Yes. I see knowledge imprinted in certain places… A thirst to prove yourself… Easily one of the smarter students in this school… I shall place you in… RAVENCLAW!" The hat yelled out the last word to the hall. Alex took the hat off and took his seat at the Ravenclaw table next to a blond girl who had been sorted not too long ago.

"Hello." He said, looking over her shoulder at the magazine she was reading. She closed it with a snap and looked at him.

"Oh. Hello." She said, a small smile appearing on her face. "Not many people want to talk to me." Alex felt awkward.

"Oh, well, nice to meet you, I'm Alex, who're you?" He asked, looking up as a few more people got sorted. The food suddenly appeared in front of them and everyone began to eat. Alex asked the question again.

"Luna. Luna Lovegood." she answered, smiling at him again. Alex nodded and ate some of his dinner.

"I heard the way to get into the common room is to answer a question. I hope they're not too hard." He said, cutting his Pork absentmindedly. Luna nodded.

"Yeah.."


After the feast, the prefects lead the way up to the common room. The Raven covering the Portrait Hole spoke up.

"Pronounced as one letter,

And written with three,

Two letters there are,

And two only in me.

I'm double, I'm single,

I'm black, blue, and gray,

I'm read from both ends,

And the same either way.

What am I?" It said sharply. Everyone started to talk to each other to figure out the answer.

"AN EYE!" Alex yelled from the back of the crowd after a pause. The Raven nodded and swung forward.

"Good job, Alex!" Luna said next to him as they crawled through the hole. Alex grinned.

"It's simple. Pronounced as one letter, I. And written with three, E-Y-E. Two letters there are, I-I. And two only in me, two eyeballs. I'm double, I'm single, one eye, two eyes. Black, blue and gray are colours of the eyes, and E-Y-E read backwards is E-Y-E." He said, sitting down next to Luna on a dark blue couch. The floor below them was a very dark blue, and the roof above them was charmed to look like the sky outside. Alex yawned.

"I'm getting tired, Luna, I guess I'll meet you here tomorrow?" He said, standing up again.

"Sure, Alex. Good night!" Luna agreed, walking up into her dorm. Alex followed two other first-year Ravenclaw boys into their room. Alex changed into his pyjamas, and drew the curtains around him. The other three boys were talking about something as Alex drifted off to sleep.
