Hogwarts houses in Autumn
Ravenclaw: Reading in the common room into the late night when the wind is whistling around the tower, earl grey tea, vanilla scented candles, midday naps by an open window, admiring the view of the changing trees from Ravenclaw tower, study sessions in the library on rainy days
Slytherin: Cob webs in the common room, the lake rapping hard against the windows on especially windy days, hot coffee, late night studying, the softest and coziest robes, spearmint candles, waking early and seeing frost on the ground
Gryffindor: Pumpkin carving contests, sitting by the fireplace telling stories, woodsy and musk scented candles, staying up too late with friends in the common room, evening adventures testing limits near the Forbidden Forest and Great Lake, hot chocolate, wearing their red and gold house colors more proudly than ever
Hufflepuff: strolling through the grounds on sunny yet chilly early autumn days, always being the last table to leave the Great Hall after dinner because of the enjoyment of good food and friends, pumpkin scented candles, chai tea lattes, adding a cozy blanket from home to their dormitory beds, opening windows to enjoy the breeze and smell of the earth during fall
The Ravenclaw Common Room
(As imagined by me)
Key Points:
*
*Controlled Mess
- Messy areas are better for creativity
- Clean areas are better for studying
- Solution?
Self cleaning clutter, most of the objects in the room, books vases, etc. have the ability to move around. They tiddy themselves up around kids who are cramming for an exam, and hang around students working on their sketchbooks.
*
*Take a Book Leave a Book Library:
- the shelves in the common room have everything from Mockingjay to Kingsley Shacklebolt’s autobiography.
-kids will leave behind their old textbooks for kids who can’t afford them
- there are also some full sketchbooks and aesthetic bullet journals just because kids wanted to share their work with everyone without looking like show offs
- and there are the more sketchy shelves full of folders of student’s essays and notes to be “referenced and repurposed”
- because Ravenclaws get that sometimes you will literally scream if you have to read one more word of that pretentious textbook
- or you hate arthrithmancy and don’t know why you took it and so you’re just going to borrow Jenny’s essay from six years ago and see what happens.
*
*Group Study Areas:
- larger desks and benches, both for a comfortable amount of space for studing alone, and to encorage collaboration.
- two heads are better than one
- but sometimes you just need a lot of space for your eight textbooks and seventeen reference photos and that’s fine too.
*
*Closed Off Beds:
- stained glass canopies that cast beautiful colored light, but that you can’t see into
- folding dividers instead of curtains that are enchanted to be sound proof when latched so that you can sing or scream your heart out
- some much needed privacy in the dorms
- sound proof walls are better than curtains (suck on that Gryffindor)
*
*Most Importantly:
INNOVATION!
-students want a ceiling like in the great hall? They figure the heck out of that enchantment.
- don’t like it anymore the next year? They undo that shit.
Bulletin boards filled with group study sessions
- a magical explosion from someone trying to make up a new spell happens about once a week
- all in all the Ravenclaw common room changes more drastically and more often than any other.

(Imma draw the other common rooms and dorms too, so if you’re a Hufflepuff, Slytherin, or Gryffindor with suggestions for what you would want in your dream common room let me know)
Professor: you’ve failed two tests now,
Ravenclaw: That’s twice you’ve failed to educate me.
@quidditchleaguenet february challenge: favorite locations - ravenclaw team - ravenclaw common room
i imagine the ravenclaw common room to be the most open of all the common rooms.
what i mean by open is that the ceiling of the tower is full of windows. so during the day, all the natural light comes in, and during the night, you can easily look up and see all the stars.
there is a lot of stargazing every night, and a lot of the ravenclaw students will fall asleep together out in the main area with books in their lap and quills in their hands.
there is also constant music playing in the background. depending on who settled in the common room first that day, that’s what determines the genre.
some days it is classical, some days it is muggle alternative, and some days it is even rap.
ravenclaws welcome all different preferences, and there are rarely any arguments regarding the music playing. as long as it is quiet enough in the background for people to study, read, or socialize.
ravenclaws also do not fear students from other houses finding a way into their common room and solving a riddle, because if they are smart or creative enough to figure it out, they consider that person one of them.
they welcome all chances for growth and intellectual discussion, and they don’t care who it is. they love to broaden their perspectives. so occasionally throughout the day, some gryffindors, hufflepuffs, or slytherins will pop in and spice things up and to see their friends. they just have to solve the riddle themselves first.
I also see all the wood in the common room being white, which makes it even brighter.
there would also be dark blue tapestries with bronze and silver constellations etched onto them.
they would have their own personal library in there organized by genre, and they would have an art center where students could set up canvases and paint/draw.
in the library, students could trade and swap out books with each other at any time, and in the art area, it was even encouraged that students could paint on the walls there until inspiration came to them.
basically, the ravenclaw common room is a place where ravenclaws are free to completely be themselves. all their eccentricities are accepted, and there is a place in the common room to support all interests.

Ravenclaw Headcanon
It can take a Ravenclaw weeks, even months, to unpack their stuff. Many of the students end up living out of their luggage in the dorms because they can’t be bothered to hang up their robes.
Ravenclaw Headcanon
Ravenclaws have their own mini library in their common room. It’s just a small bookshelf, but it manages to always have the perfect book on hand for whatever each Ravenclaw needs.
Ravenclaw Headcanon
Every once in a while, a Ravenclaw uses the same spell that’s in the Great Hall to make the ceiling in their common room mimic the weather outside. Most of them find it calming, especially when it’s raining.
What’s REALLY inside the Ravenclaw Common Room
A/N: Not a request, but I thought we all need a pick-me-up today. Enjoy everyone, and feel free to request anything you’d like to see me write about ~
Seriously, do you realize how aesthetically pleasing the common room is?
I mean, like the blues and bronze made you feel like freakin’ royalty once you walk in
the most musical of the the common rooms - there’s soft sound of choir singing because of the magic, and the blue hues really calms you down REAL fast
I am 100% SURE that there’s AROMATHERAPY going on inside the common room:

Some of My Favorite Ravenclaw Quotes:
Wit beyond measure is a man’s greatest treasure. (Obviously…)
Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed.
I’m not crazy, my reality is just different then yours.
When in doubt, go to the library.
The mind is it’s own palace, and in itself it can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.
To be insane is to be sane with just a little more knowledge of what’s going on.
I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.
Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings.
I think, therefore, I am dangerous.
Never be so focused on what your looking for that you overlook the thing you actually find.
rainy day study aesthetic
> Slytherin
light drizzle, foggy window pane, studying with your best friend in a secluded alcove of the castle, bulky sweaters, distracted glances, dark mocha lattes, squinting at tiny text, notebooks with neat bullet points, the gentle purr from your cat cuddled against your hip, witty remarks about past lectures, looking over questions from old exams handed down by an upperclassman, exchanging notes to see if either of you missed any details
> Ravenclaw
heavy downpour, low rumble of thunder, kneeling on the floor at the coffee table in the common room, sweeping loose hair behind your ear, hot cup of tea, rereading sections of the textbook, sliding glasses up the bridge of your nose, underling key points, writing notes in the margins, a semicircle of empty mugs enclosing your study area, lots of leaning back and sighing in deep frustration, scoffing when a classmate asks if “so and so” will be on the test because the hell if you know
What the houses remind me off
Gryffindor: cold nights, rocks, watching the sunset, red lipstick, leather jackets, motorcycles, croissants, light dresses, long hair, summer rains
Hufflepuff: plain T-shirt’s, sharks, wildflowers, braids, ponies, kisses on the cheek, cats, morning sunshine, old cities, indie music, cabins in the woods, the sea
Ravenclaw: castles, libraries, boots, rooftops, sunrises, shampoo, pale skin, tea, crows, blue eyes, sweaters, silently swearing, smell of perfume, fresh fruits
Slytherin: white long dresses, woods, dancing, long songs, blonde hair, suits, red lipstick on a paper towel, hot showers, museums, scratches and bruises, coffee, dark nights
Houses as types of friends
Gryffindor: the adventurous friend. Shouting I love you across the classroom. "Are we there yet?". Midnight snacks. Wanting to pull all nighters but being the first to fall asleep. Last minute plans. Being ready for anything. Wanting to be with your friends 24/7.
Slytherin: the friend who loves you so much but shows it differently. Enjoys pulling pranks. Actually pulls an all nighter. Always steals the blanket and blames it on someone else. The friend who either takes 0.2 seconds or 3 hours to reply. "I send you memes because i love you". Will laugh if you fall over then immediately check you're okay. Always wants to make you laugh.
Hufflepuff: the friend who will wait for you to tie your shoelace. Always brings food to sleepovers. "Can we watch a film?". Your favourite feeling is waking up to see your friends around you. Picks up your call no matter what. The friend who hugs you when you're sad and tells you they love you. Will always hang out with you. Wants to feel wanted.
Ravenclaw: the sarcastic yet funny friend. Bursting out random thoughts. "Its 12am already?". The friend who wishes moments never end. Randomly texting friends to listen to the rain or look at the stars. Random i love yous. Passes you notes in class. Always wants to learn new things about you.
types of people: hogwarts houses
hufflepuff: terracotta pots, wooden stepladders and shelves, stacks of cards from friends, sunlight filtering through vines and glass, spooning honey into warm milk, big straw hats with satin ribbons, honeycomb-printed walls
ravenclaw: stars in a watercolour sky, brass knockers on old oak doors, purple mist covering the world, stained glass fragments, biscuits on an old porcelain plate, capturing memories in a copper jar, fireflies in a dark field
slytherin: ice on a green lake, heavy curtains, exhaling translucent clouds into cool air, tall ferns in a wintry plain, considering the future at night, peppermint plants, shaking and rolling dice, carpets of emerald moss
gryffindor: velvet banners, spinning golden coins, carving initials into dark oak tables, freshly baked pastry and tart fruit, wind whipping limestone cliffs, meeting at midnight, candles burning through the night, baskets of picked cherries
*talking about a presentation*
Gryffindor: Are you gonna be nervous?
Ravenclaw: Am I gonna be ner- I’ve been nervous for 19 years.
Ravenclaw: I don't wanna.
Gryffindor: You don't want to what?
Ravenclaw: I just don't wanna.
Gryffindor: You know? Mood.
