Rowena Ravenclaw was happy.
(She was! Of course she was!)
She was young, but not young enough to be insignificant, she was stunningly beautiful and, above all, she knew how to use her brains. She was witty. Wit beyond measure was man's greatest treasure so what more could she want?
(Love. To be loved for herself and not for her skills.)
But she had love. Didn't she? She had an attentive husband; a beautiful, caring daughter; an entire school keeping her busy and hanging off every pearl of her wisdom. What more could she want?
(Passion. Tempestuous, unreasonable emotion. Him.)
