ravenclaw-headcanons:

Can you imagine, one day a 7th year comes back really late after studying in the library for hours because they’re so stressed about their NEWTs, and as they approach the door their heart just sinks. They really can’t be bothered to deal with this right now, they just want to go straight upstairs and collapse in their bed without having to answer a dumbass philosophical question

So they approach the door and sigh as they let the knocker clatter against it. The eagle opens it’s eyes and then just looks at the 7th year for a few seconds before asking ‘what’s your favourite colour?’

‘I-what?’ the ravenclaw is sure they must have heard wrong

‘What’s your favourite colour?’ the door asks again

The ravenclaw narrows their eyes, sure this must be some sort of trick question. ‘what’s the catch?’ they ask. After all it’s better to try and suss out the eagle’s motives than sleep in the corridor tonight

‘There’s no catch.’ the ravenclaw’s brow furrows even further. ‘Look,’ the eagle sighs ‘you look like you’ve had a rough day and, to be quite honest, I can’t be bothered to come up with anything more difficult right now. So either you can take it or wait until I can come up with something more complex.’

“I, well I… yellow. My favourite colour’s yellow.”

“Yellow? Really?” the student never realised the eagle could be so judgemental. “Whatever it’s your call. Now go and get some rest.”

As the ravenclaw clambers through the doorway they look back and smile at the resounding thud of the door hitting its frames. Maybe the knocker wasn’t so bad after all.
