| | |  The Bronze Knocker
If you've reached the seventh floor corridor, then you have almost reached the Ravenclaw Common Room... assuming you know where it is.
At the top of a spiral staircase is a door without a doorknob or keyhole but a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. In order to enter the Ravenclaw common room, a person must answer a riddle asked by the eagle knocker; if they answer incorrectly, they must wait for someone else who gets it right. This might lead overconfident non-Ravenclaws to believe that they could break into the common room at any time, but then they would have over-exerted themselves climbing all the way up there only to be made to feel stupid by a simple door knocker.
If you're waiting on a friend, you can have a seat on the staircase leading up to the knob-less door and feel grateful that you don't have to walk all this way every day just to go to bed.

After climbing the flights of stairs up to the Ravenclaw Towers, Skylar felt almost grateful that she didn't have to do these stairs every day just to get to her common room. HOWEVER, that didn't mean she didn't want to see her brother which was the sole reason she was there.
She'd separated from him at King's Cross and hadn't seen him since; but she knew he was there and watched her sorting into Slytherin and she just needed to talk to him. Get his approval, you know?
The eleven year old sat down outside the bronze knocker and pulled out some parchment to begin drafting a letter to her parents regarding her sorting while she waited. Though she was sure they already knew, she wanted to tell them anyway about her experiences...

Since the feast, Noah had been sitting in his common room, originally intending to mind his own business and keep to himself, he had actually ended up having a really long talk with a fellow Ravenclaw and had most definitely made himself a new friend. Some time after his companion had left, Noah had taken the peace and quiet to write to his parents, as promised.
Letter in hand, folded twice, Noah exited the Ravenclaw tower and paused just outside the door as it closed behind him, grey eyes identical to his father's resting on his little sister where she sat, parchment and quill in hand.
Great minds think alike? Or maybe it was just a sibling thing. Or.. a Diggory thing.
"Waiting for me, Sky?" Noah offered a grin, almost forgetting about his bruised nose and blackened eyes. Thanks to his Ravenclaw companion, and her healer mum, the swelling had gone down almost completely and the bruising wasn't nearly as bad as it had been.

Thanks to his Ravenclaw companion, and her healer mum, the swelling had gone down almost completely and the bruising wasn't nearly as bad as it had been. Looking up from her parchment at hearing someone exit the doorway behind her, Sky beamed when she saw it was her brother. Sibling sense, it must be.
"Nah. I'm waiting for another Ravenclaw, which gray eyes. Dark hair. Goes by Noah." Sky teased playfully, as her eyes fell upon his bruised face. "What happened to you? Is that why I haven't seen you since the platform?"
And no, she was not done writing her letter. Because trying to find the right wording for, 'sorry I'm not a Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw or Gryffindor' was hard work. Sure she was in the same house as Hattie's oldest sister and as her cousin, but that didn't make getting sorted as a Slytherin any easier...

"Ah, I think I've met the dude you're talking about. Lemme go get him for you-" Grinning, Noah jabbed a thumb behind his shoulder, toward his common room. Huh? Oh, yeah, that. Grin falling a bit into a brief scowl, the older of the two shook his head, and went to sit beside her on the floor. "I lost you on the train. Couldn't find you anywhere, I figured you were with Hattie atleast. I watched you get sorted, though. Knew exactly where you were." Like the good big brother he was, simply sitting back so she could make friends with her new house mates.
As for the bruising.. "I made the mistake of sitting with Noelle at the feast," He said, with a slight shrug. Noelle Summers, his.. former best friend, of the last two years. The one he'd had over during school breaks a handful of times. "Her idiot shoved me. Went face first into the table, and.. that's what happened." In his defense, it looked way better than what it had originally. "Don't tell mum or dad."

If they were allowed to do their charms practice anywhere in the school, the place that Dot wanted to practice was... somewhere that her mark would be noticed and recognized. With the right audience and the right graffiti, Dot wouldn't even have to sign her work.
They'd know.
Her Ravenclaw best friends would know.
In the spirit if graffiti that shouted "Charlotte Anka Wojack-Gusey" in bold letters... without using letters... Dot had taken careful note of a particular incantation the professor had shared. He probably hadn't even realized what he'd sparked in her. As for the color, that was a natural. PINK. Obviously.
Dot thought about the most bright and happy pink that she could, pointed her wand, and traced the shape and pattern she wanted to see most. ""Figura heart. Colorvaria punctum polka." And there it was, taller than Dot, a giant pink heart filled with polka dots. POLKA DOTS.

Thunk, thunk, thunk could be heard as Penelope dragged her three pet rocks up the stairs, the rocks trailing behind her on their leashes. When she reached the familiar bronze eagle knocker, Penelope scooped the rocks up off the ground and held them up so they could get a better view of the knocker. After all, they were so small that they wouldn't be able to see the knocker from the ground. "This knocker is the way to get in to the Ravenclaw common room. The knocker is one of my favorite and least favorite things about Ravenclaw. It asks a question or a riddle, and to get in you have to answer it correctly. If you don't get the right answer you might be waiting out here for a long time. Awful when you're in a rush to get to class, but it challenges the mind." Recently the knocker had taken to asking her NEWT questions. Useful for revision. She especially liked the questions that really challenged her, and if she wasn't trying to hurry to get to a class or patrol it was fun to wait with other Ravenclaws trying to figure out the riddle.
