When Lexine made it to the top, she turned around and looked back at her First years. It didn't seem that she'd lost any of them on their way up the staircases, which was certainly a good thing. Then, she started up the spiral staircase up to the common room. As they made it up the steps, Lexine made sure to call back and tell them, "Each house has a different way in which they enter their common rooms. Ravenclaws have to answer a riddle asked by the eagle knocker on the door. If you can't answer the riddle, well..." Lexine paused, shrugging slightly. "Well, sadly, you're going to have to wait until someone else who can answer it comes by, I suppose." When they made it to the large doors, Lexine reached out and touched the knocker and the eagle started to speak. "A natural state, I'm sought by all. Go without me, and you shall fall. You do me when you spend, and use me when you eat to no end." The eagle said in a clear voice. Lexine looked back at her First years and smiled. Of course she knew it, it was a relatively easy riddle this time around. However, she made sure to tilt her head slightly and ask "Anyone know what the answer is?"

Emrynn followed the group, he was full, happy, relaxed, and ready for what ever awaited him in this castle, most especially the common room. After all he would be living here for seven years, goodness was he excited. Hopefully now he would actually gain the nerve to talk to the others in his house, or he really hoped. As they approached the common room he caught sight of the knocker as it began to speak over the riddle that challenged them. He thought it over for a moment, "Well it could be water," He said thinking out loud though that didn't exactly make sense, a fork? No, not even...a thought came to him suddenly, "Balance?" He asked, hoping he was right. It was a guess anyway.

Sybil walked up behind the Prefect Elijah and the rest of the first year students. She somehow ended up somewhere in the middle when they made it to the Ravenclaw door. When the knocker on the door spoke to them, Sybil blinked a few times, surprised. "If it's information you seek, come and see me. If it's pairs of letters you need, I have consecutively three." Sybil looked up at Eli for a moment. So, the Ravenclaw common room had a riddle for you when you wanted to come in... "It's a bookkeeper..." Sybil said. She looked up at Eli, then to the door.

Walking down the hall Dakota walked till he got to a spiral staircase. Waiting for all the first years to gather he went on. "Now our common room is at the top of this spiral staircase." He explained before he climbed the staircase to a door. This all too familiar door had nothing but a bronze knocker in the shape of an eagle. It was then the knocker began to speak. "If it's information you seek, come and see me. If its pairs of letters you need, I have consecutively three."

Turning to the first years Dakota smiled. "As you can see unlike most of the other common rooms which use passwords, our common room uses a riddle. In order to get into the common room you have to answer the riddle correctly. However answer it incorrectly and you're stuck outside until someone else comes along to answer it." He explained. "So who can guess what the answer to this riddle is?" He asked curiously. Worst case scenario they didn't know the answer and he'd have too. Though, he hoped that being in Ravenclaw they wouldn't have a problem.

There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard

Up near the ceiling, tucked into the shadows with a few bits of the quirky Hogwarts architecture supporting her, Iris looked down on Jean. This was going to be a bit....caveman of her, but Iris felt it was worth doing. Slipping her feet out of their places, she dropped sinuously to the floor behind the Ravenclaw, landing in a deep crouch to absorb the impact. Straightening, she leaned in a carefully relaxed way against a wall. "Hey Jean."

There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard

Iris let a perfectly polite smile cross her lips, and lifted a hand. "So...you and Cathy," she drawled, examining her nails. "You know, she's had a crush on you forever." Her eyes flicked sideways to the boy, something predatory hiding in them. "I told her to go for you. I'm perfectly happy being friends with Cathy instead of her girlfriend."

There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard

Tossing her head back, red hair tumbling around her shoulders, Iris laughed brightly, this one sound seeming the most honest bit of the conversation. It only lasted a few breaths though, and Iris slipped a hand into her pocket. "No, not at all. I just want Cathy to be happy," Iris told Jean with plain honesty. Her hand came out of her pocket, her favorite butterfly knife between her fingers. Iris flicked the blade open in a practiced motion, turning her attention back to her fingernails as she delicately used the blade to clean her nails. "Just so long as Cathy is happy," she said slowly, with deliberate emphasis, "I've got no problem with you at all. Do we have an understanding?" she asked with another of those sideways glances, deliberately angling the blade to catch the light as she 'cleaned her nails.'
