Ravenclaw Recs from the Hogwarts Houses Fest
hogwarts_houses has posted the Master List from its 2011 fest, including several Ravenclaw-centric fics and art.
Title: In the Moonlight
Author:
blueartemis07
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Luna
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Luna sees clearly, even when others don't.
Title: The Seven Grievances of Terry Boot
Author: slumber
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Terry/various (slash and het)
Rating: PG-13
(Highlight to View) Warning(s): None.
Note: This is for all the Ravenclaws I've loved before. Thanks to S for inspiring the version of Justin FF that shows up here, and L for sharing my love for Terry Boot (and helping prod this story into form). JKR had listed Terry down as a Muggleborn in her notes, and while she had a lot of notes that didn't make the "final cut", I think it's interesting to try and make everything she said fit anyway.
Summary: Before he got on the train his mother had pulled him into a hug and told him she knew he'd always been special, and she was sure he'd do very well in all his classes regardless of the subject, and his father laughed and wondered how many versions of Abra Cadabra Terry would have to memorise. When he wrote a few weeks later to explain there was actually a fair amount of Latin to remember, his father's reply included a hint of going on to be a doctor.
Title: Wit Beyond Measure
Author:
roseofthewest
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s): The Sorting Hat, Luna Lovegood, Severus Snape, Marietta Edgecombe, Neville Longbottom, and Harry Potter
Rating: PG-13
Summary: True intellect can sometimes be found with its head in the clouds.
Title: This Strange Intelligence
Author:
leela_cat
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s):
Helena Ravenclaw, Moaning Myrtle, Bellatrix Lestrange, and Luna Lovegood, with cameo appearances by Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington, the Fat Friar, the Bloody Baron, the Cavalier, Filius Flitwick, and Neville Longbottom
Rating: PG
Note: The title and the section headings are quotes from Macbeth.
Summary: "Luna is kind, unlike so many of the others." [Helena Ravenclaw to Harry Potter in Deathly Hallows 2 (the movie)]
This is a crossover with Nancy Drew, Sorting Nancy into Ravenclaw:
Title: Nancy Drew and the Phantom Cry
Author:
rebecca_selene
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Nancy Drew, Joscelind Wadcock, Derwent Shimpling, Pollux Black, The Grey Lady, The Bloody Baron, Phineas Nigellus Black, Galatea Merrythought, Herbert Beery, Cuthbert Binns, OCs
Rating: PG
Note: Apparently, 1923 was a bad year for the Sorting Hat's song-writing ability. Just saying. All recognizable characters and situations belong to JK Rowling and Carolyn Keene.
Summary: Nancy Drew gets accepted to Hogwarts. She's fascinated by the curiosities of a magical world she never knew existed, but when something starts to go bump in the night, it's beyond even Hogwarts' standard of normalcy. Nancy is determined to find whatever is making the phantom cries before it finds her!
And this one depicts the Ravenclaw common room, even though there are no Ravenclaw characters in it (unless you count the statue of Rowena):
Title: A Gallant Act
Artist:
cabepfir
House Category: Ravenclaw
Character(s)/Pairing(s): Harry Potter, Minerva McGonagall, Amycus Carrow
Rating: PG
(Highlight to View) Warning(s): Canon Violence.
Note: Why does Harry commit an Unforgivable in Ravenclaw common room, of all places? To make the readers aware of its irrationality? To stress out the insensate acts a war can ask of its participants? What is the connection between deed and setting? Consider that this happens just after Minerva says, in reply to Amycus' taunt, that saving the students makes "only the difference between truth and lies, courage and cowardice" (DH p. 477 British edition). Cruciating a Death Eater is an acceptable, gallant (according, again, to Minerva), logical inescapability in a war? What would Rowena Ravenclaw say?
Summary: Harry Cruciates Amycus Carrow in the Ravenclaw common room (from DH 30).
