I am Ravenclaw


Yes I am smart.
Yes I do do good in classes, well except flying, I'm scared of heights.
I get up and put on the robes I'd laid out the night before.
I don't go around with my nose in a book all day.
Me and my Housemates don't spend all our classes with our hands in the air.

We don't spend out free time dusting and cleaning every speck of surface
in our dorms and our common room.
I'm not a dustbin.

I have spent countless hours in the library, many more than the other Houses.
I've one to class and fallen asleep, because I was up half the night
studying for the exam that day.
And according to Professor Snape drool is not an ingredient in a Pepper Up
potion, he said something about the side effect of the saliva mixed with it makes the
drinker really hyper and then they black out for three days.

He also added "And stay away from the Slytherin's food."
Like I would poison them in broad daylight, uh, you didn't hear that.
Appearantly he didn't notice I'm a Ravenclaw.

And has anybody noticed we flatten Slytherin in Quidditch way more than the Gryffindors?
No, they haven't.
We're way better than they ever were.
Potter was good but he graduated last year, so it's Ravenclaw's turn at the cup this year.

That prank about 19 or 20 years ago when the Great Hall was filled with tapioca pudding
that couldn't be magicked away was done by a group of 7 Ravenclaws.
They still talk about it today.
They had to bring in all the students in in groups of 30 - 40 to eat pudding
in two hour shifts for three weeks.
That's why theres only treacle pudding here now.
Dumbledore swore if he ever saw tapioca pudding again he would blow up the school.

"To have knowledge, honor, and pride." is what every Ravenclaw prefect I've met has told me
that is our House credo.
'Whatever' I'd think everytime they say it.
But the other day I caught myself telling that to a couple of 2nd years.
They said it gets stuck in your head after reading it from the coat of arms
above the common room entrance.

I do my homework in my room but sometimes I do it there.
I like to lay on one of the couches in the common room and it looks directly at it.
I guess they were right.

I like my House.
I like my Housemates.
I've read Hogwarts A History 13 times.
I scored the hundredth House point this year.
I proud of what I am, what I'll be.

Because I am Ravenclaw.
