History of Ravenclaw
History: 

Professor Rowena Ravenclaw was a Scottish witch who lived in the early Middle Ages. Noted for her cleverness and creativity and regarded as one of the greatest witches of the age, Ravenclaw was one of the four Founders of Hogwarts along with Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin, and was the namesake of Ravenclaw House. She wished to make Hogwarts the very finest wizarding school in the world, and thus had a preference for students with great intellect. Ravenclaw was "beautiful yet slightly intimidating" and her motto was "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure," something which she engraved on her famous diadem.

It is a popular historical theory that the location and name of Hogwarts were both chosen by Ravenclaw, who dreamt that a warty hog was leading her to a cliff by the lake. It is also thought Ravenclaw came up with the ever-changing floor plan.

Ravenclaw died sometime into the eleventh century, after she fell fatally ill. Legend had it that a broken heart —from the loss of her daughter, Helena — contributed to her early demise.

Rowena is a Latinised form of an old Germanic name: "Fame" (cf. the Anglo-Saxon hrōd, or hrōð), and "Joy", (cf. the Anglo-Saxon wyn(n)), or "Friend", (cf. the Anglo-Saxon wine). Rowena, Queen of Britain, is a figure in Britain's traditional history; she was supposedly the daughter of Hengest and the wife of Vortigern. Ravenclaw is simply 'raven' + 'claw'. A raven is a large black bird that belongs to the crow family; however, Ravenclaw's symbol is an eagle. In legend, ravens are known to be smart birds; Ravenclaws are known to be wise and quick learners.

<font face="Century Gothic" color="goldenrod" size="6"> History



<font size="2" color="White" face="Trebuchet MS">Christopher Arnold Percy Owens has been moving from foster home to foster home all of his life. No one truly knows where his parents are. Some say they are dead, others say in hiding, but there is no real right or wrong answer.

<font size="2" color="White" face="Trebuchet MS">His parents dropped him off at the front of an old farmer's home. They were gone before the farmer could get a glance of them. The farmer was old, and took the child to child services. From there, Chris was bounced all around foster homes. Through Chris' life, he's lived in thirteen different foster care homes ranging from many different places over London, Spain, and France.

<font size="2" color="White" face="Trebuchet MS">'When Chris had first developed in showing his magical abilities, he was adopted by a family in Spain. The family in Spain were appauld when 2 weeks after adoption, he'd somehow been able to light their home on fire. He hadn't tried to do it, but his magical abilities were being contained, making them go crazy. They took him back to Foster care when a representative from Beauxbatons Academy of Magic had taken him in. They'd said that 'he was a wizard, and explained the whole speil. After his third year of living with one of the faculty members of Beauxbatons, someone had discovered that Chris was being physically abused by them. Over summer, the teacher, Angie Barret, had not fed him for a week once, brutally hit him, and even cut off one of his toes.

<font size="2" color="White" face="Trebuchet MS">When Chris finally spoke up, he was removed from the home into another in England by Erick Harrison II. He understood his story very well, and decided to lend a hand. Erick and his wife April now take very good care of Chris, and love him very much. Chris now attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
