The Eagles' Nest

[ToBeOrNotToBeAGryffindor]

New Ravenclaw here!

I guess when everyone arrives to Hogwarts, they already have a pretty good idea where they would be Sorted, and I was not disappointed. I guess all of us secretly pine to be Gryffindors (observe the SN), but I knew that I was not. I thought that, since I can definitely take care of myself and my own, I could be a Slytherin, but I knew I was not.

I knew, before I was ever Sorted, that I was a Ravenclaw. I'm extremely cerebral, and thinking is a way of life for me. I'm still adapting to the boards, but I'm happy to be here.

Go Eagles!


PS-If we're stealing characters...Albus Potter is mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My name is Rachael, I'm new here to Ravenclaw, and I'm slowly trying to feel my way around. Harry Potter is a huge apart of my life and I am looking forward into meeting people who feel the same way. It's not too often you find people in every day life who are totally submersed into the a culture. Here's to hoping for the best.

Lo,

Tiny (vaguely lost) new sprout here. Could someone direct me towards the Common Room please?

Thanks

From the looks of it, you haven't been added to the userfroup yet. When our prefect, Ebil One, or our HoH, Laura, gets on, they will add you and a whole new set of forums will open. In the meantime, be patient and explore what you have. Welcome to Ravenclaw!

Hey guys~

If there are any new sprouts that are curious about the abundance of gorgeous graphics gracing the signatures of our members, send me a pm and I'll give you a tour of our lovely BannerMaker's Association. I'm a BA Pixie over there and one of the heads in charge, so I'd love to help out. :]

And welcome to the boards!

Don't mind the Slytherin, guys, hehe . . .

Just so you are aware - in case the plethera of forum choices didn't give it away - I have added you to Ravenclaw as your HoH is on a hiatus at the moment.

ENJOY!

Alright, who keeps letting the Slytherins in? Who is it that hasn't been putting out the snake traps?

But seriously, you will find that the Slytherins and the Ravenclaws do do quite a bit together, and we really do support one another. When you think about it, we are more compatable with one another than we are with any other House.

Nicole's edit: You're right, Molly. Our houses DO mesh well. That being said, how about you guys give up a hundred points for your Slytherin buddies in the name of friendship?

Hah. I'm a Slyth - I had to at least try.

Or here's an idea! How about we loan you a hundred house points, and you pay back those house points over the course of a month, at say, 15% interest...

Anyway, we Ravenclaws are pretty similar to Slyths in some ways - we're evil demagogues too! Knowledge is power, power is evil, therefore knowledge is evil! HA HA!

Timmy, as I shake my head over your leaps of logic, I have a story to tell in relation to evil, knowledge and power.

A couple of years back there was a terrible storm on the coast of my state. This storm wielded an awesome amount of power, enough to drive an ancient gum tree clean through the roof of my best friend's school's library. So, the storm's power lead to the destruction of knowledge, and I can hear my fellow Ravenclaws openly weeping for the fate of all those poor books. Many would call such a consequence an act of evil. HOWEVER, there was no evil at play in any of this - any who suggest the library and/or books were evil can be shut out of the Claw Tower indefinitely, and the poor tree was as much a victim as any other player in the story. So, you say, perhaps the storm was evil - and I would possibly agree, except that it helped relieve the drought-stricken area.

Study this tale long and hard and you will surely gain a new and pure insight into the natures of power, knowledge and evil's essence. Or perhaps you'll catch onto the fact that I just felt like a ramble. Carry on.

Well, I think we can all agree that Phia's a bit weird...

YES! 'Claws and Slyths are so compatible, it's frightening! (Frighteningly AWESOME, that is...) But really, what better way to use knowledge than for evil? Even a bunch of duffers (what does that even mean, eh?) can go around doing good deeds. It takes a real genius to go around hexing people and not getting caught. And then, eventually, causing ebil thunderstorms in Australia....and not getting caught... >.> *coughs*

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!

So, we lend the Slyths some of our knowledge and they lend us some of their cunning (there's a difference, guys. Really.) and then we take over the world together. We're like this: *crosses finers to show tightness*

Welcome to Ravenclaw, newbies! WE LURVE YOU!
