(My entry for hogwartshousehabits’s contest)
Are you ready to keep a Ravenclaw?
The Ravenclaw house is best known for the wisdom, intelligence, and creativity of its members. However, keeping a Ravenclaw can be very difficult. Whether your Ravenclaw is a friend, lover, or child, there are specific steps you need to take to help them survive. Just like any living creatures, there are many things they need to thrive.
BASIC NECESSITIES A Ravenclaw needs the basic things any human being needs to live - food, water, shelter, and air. Besides these things, Ravenclaws have four other major necessities:
- Intelligent conversation - A listening ear - Creative freedom - Plenty of space to grow and be themselves
These things are needed to keep your Ravenclaw healthy, but what about keeping them happy? Well, if you want your Ravenclaw to maintain a decent mood, they need to have hobbies or other activities that they enjoy. Some take pleasure in academic activities, such as studying and reading, while others prefer more creative pastimes, like playing instruments, writing, and other kinds of arts.
Of course, it won’t always be smooth sailing with your Ravenclaw. Things happen, and when something upsets them, they need time to calm down.
WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT THAT YOUR RAVENCLAW IS UNHAPPY: When something happens to upset your Ravenclaw, there are certain needs that need to be satisfied to nurse them back to health. Whenever a Ravenclaw needs to cry, lend them a shoulder to do so on. If they want space, give them that space. Space is an essential ingredient for Ravenclaw well-being, and even the most extroverted ones need it every once in a while.
When all else fails, just let them vent. Ravenclaws need to know that they are loved and appreciated for what they do.
BENEFITS OF HAVING A RAVENCLAW Ravenclaws are very versatile creatures, and make good friends, children, and lovers. There are many great reasons to have them around. They could have you falling out of your chair laughing at a witty remark they made one minute and have you questioning everything you thought to be true the next.
Ravenclaws have a deep understanding of how things work and are always willing to help someone in need. Whether it be with homework, family problems, or relationship issues, they will always be there to help you charm your way out of a tough place.
Ravenclaws always have the best inside jokes, and their sarcasm and dark humor will leave you in stitches. They can always find an original solution to a problem and will help you without asking for anything in return. Ravenclaws are always genuine, and will do things for you simply to make you smile. Have a problem? Your Ravenclaw has it covered.
IN CONCLUSION Ravenclaws are complex and fascinating creatures. They come equipped with brilliant minds and wise souls, and will work as your patronus for everyday life. When you come across a Ravenclaw, be sure to cherish them and hold them close. Not everyone is fortunate enough to come across one, but if they deem you worthy of their time, consider yourself a very lucky person.
