Ravenclaws probably have, overall as a house, the worst grades in the school tbh.
i feel as though ravenclaws would have driven Hermione Granger up a wall they neVER DO THEIR HOMEWORK??? I though this was the smart house???? and Ravenclaws are like yeah kay but GET THIS DID YOU KNOW AN ANIMAGUS - but potions homework - who even CARES about potions right now I’m researching this COOLER THING uncouple the idea of ‘smart’ with the idea of ‘good at school’
I bet for the professors teaching Ravenclaws is like herding cats away from empty boxes.
Older Ravenclaws have finely honed the art of asking just the right argumentative questions to direct their teacher onto an entire-class-session-long tangent about something entirely irrelevant to the course material.

James or Snape? Dumbledore or Voldemort? Lily or Molly? Narcissa or Bellatrix? Hogwarts or Ilvermorny? Durmstrang or Beauxbatons? Seeker or Chaser? Potions or Transfiguration? Death Eaters or The Order? Marauders or Next Generation? Sirius or Tonks? Ginny or Draco?
The punk-rock Hufflepuff who works their ass of on potions homework while listening to Fiddlar and Waaves on a smuggled muggle iPod that they’ve charmed to work in the castle and only where’s the plain black school robes “just because I’m loyal and hardworking doesn’t mean I have to go around looking like a gaudy ray of sunshine all the bloody time.”
The autistic Ravenclaw who paints and composes music with no set pattern or plan in mind, who wanders the corridors and the forest after curfew at night because they’d rather learn from experience than have their nose in the book all the time. The one who goes and makes friends with the unicorns and the hippogriffs in the forest because they UNDERSTAND and don’t force them to be social or expect them to be verbalising all of these coherently thought out statements as a response to every word someone says to them.
The Gryffindor who is quiet and doesn’t break the rules and is brave but not foolhardy or self-sacrificing. The one who doesn’t draw attention to themselves until one day in the common room when someone ignorantly spouts off about how there is only good and evil. The one who has the guts to stand up and say, “HOW DARE YOU! MY GRANDPARENTS FUNDED VOLDEMORT’S SIDE IN THE FIRST WAR AND DO YOU KNOW WHY??! IT WAS RANSOM MONEY SO THEY COULD GET MY MOTHER BACK! IT’S NOT ALL BLACK AND WHITE OR GOOD AND EVIL YOU TOSSER! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY RELUCTANT DEATH EATERS WANTED TO TELL VOLDEMORT TO FUCK OFF JUST AS MUCH AS ALBUS BLOODY DUMBLEDORE???!”
The Muggleborn Slytherin who grew up in a poor household as the oldest of many siblings and as such is kind of like the mother hen for all the other first years in all the houses even though she’s the same age. And they seem so sweet that a couple of seventh years think that they can get away with bullying them, at which point they learn that this cunning little snake has had full control of their “accidental” magic for years as a means of survival and protection for their large family, and that this lil bean can really fuck you up and that it’s NOT a good idea to imply they don’t belong in their house.
All those wonderful witches, wizards, and non-binary or genderfluid mages who have the courage to say “Fuck you,” to house stereotypes.
