Together we stand strong

Than the weakest link
The first which rises is not blue nor green
Nor is it the pure of heart
The second takes flight as birds of peace
The third bears its courage fiercely, blazing with truth
Its fourth blasts through its obstacles, using an astute mind
The last proves wit is the final key
Daphne had gotten used to the periodic rumbling in the dank chamber. No longer did she jump or shriek when things appeared. Her eyes darted up to the statue of Rowena Ravenclaw as she "spoke". She paid very close attention to specifics in the riddle, knowing that was paramount to locating the treasure. After it finished, she carefully went over the clues.
"If the first isn't blue or green, or pure of heart - that's Gryffindor red... It's got to be yellow!" she said aloud, walking over to where the yellow light hit the ground. She walked around the whole display a few times, thinking about the second.
"Birds of peace, like doves?" she asked, stopping at the white circle.
Two down, she thought to herself, smiling. For the first time she could see why she ended up in the Ravenclaw house.
"Third, fierce courage... blazing truth. Sounds like a Gryffie to me," she smirked, looking down at the red circle by her feet.
She thought about the fourth one for a little longer.
"Blasting through obstacles... astute mind..." she mumbled, eyes darting from the blue to the green beams of light. That description could apply to both the Ravenclaw and Slytherin houses. She eventually stepped in front of the green circle.
"Blasting through obstacles, definitely Slytherins," she laughed, though she knew a few Ravenclaws who could fit that description.
She slowly walked towards the last unclaimed circle.
"...proves wit is the final key," she said slowly, halting at the blue circle.
"That's us," she stated proudly.
"So that's yellow, white, red, green, and blue," she said to the group, more than willing to work together with the Ravenclaws.
