HOUSE PRIDE
Showing off my Eagle pride!
I decided that the best way to show my House Pride was by showing off my house. So, for all of you who are unable to get in, here is a drawing of a part of the Ravenclaw Common Room!
Perhaps you notice the bookcases? Take a look at the close-ups picture to the left and you'll be able to see them in more detail! The same goes for the quaffle, snitch, and broomsticks. Ravenclaw Quidditch Team tends to leave their Quidditch things lying around the common room - when they're not off playing it. You can see the bludger and beater's bat on the bookcase, beside the small eagle statue. The quaffle gets left in random places around the common room, right now it's on the floor beside a chair. If you happen to see a Golden Snitch fly by while you're sitting at a table studying, it just means that Scarlet Leslie is playing with it again. One common question that gets asked by people in the common room is whether the brooms often left lying around are the brooms actually used by Ravenclaw Quidditch Team members or if they're simply left there to entice others into joining the team when they practice. Quidditch things aren't all that get left lying around. If you take a look at the shelf underneath the bludger and bat, you'll see another item often found in the common room - a pair of pink high heels belonging to the graceful lady, Edmund Smethwyck. Finally, you may have noticed the items resting on top of the other bookcase. It's not strange at all to find a random cake or two in the common room, and even less unusual to find trays of freshly baked muffins.
Some of you may be wondering what sort of notices appear on the noticeboard… well, take a look! I realize the colored board is difficult to read, so for a slightly clearer version look down below. (I did say slightly.)
Here is a translation for all the fully visible notices:
Top left: Anti-Amy Club JOIN TODAY Contact a K for info.
Middle left: Scarlet Leslie is looking for a seeking opponent!
Bottom left: The cake is for Cassie. Everyone else gets muffins.
Top middle: Gobstones Club is meeting tonight at 7 - don't forget
Middle: We Want YOU for RQT! Talk toany team member!
Bottom middle: Found - secret plans for taking over HOL
Top right: Interested in dueling club? Sign up in the Great Hall!
Bottom right: Zombies are in the Roost!
Unfortunately, four other notices were partially obscured by RQT's larger poster. It's a shame as these notices included an important announcement from Headmaster Ulol Kimli, an announcement about a "How to Earn Robot Points" session taught by Deputy Head of House Jenna Hathaway, a date for the next Hogsmeade trip (Dec. 6), and a reminder to submit Alte Articles.
