hey, i was thinking, maybe we should use three animals(don't know if i completely understood the assignment...) but that way we van put our sign (from our house, don't know what you call it) in the middle, and one animal above it, i was thinking an owl, and one on each side. and underneath each animal we could have a poem line about it. and underneath the house sign a sentence why they represent us! 😄
maybe the other animals could be a snake (wisdom in china) and a cat or something!
i made something like a few poem lines, but i'm not very good at it, so i think i'll just pm them when i finish them, cause i want to know what you guys think before i post them 😕 😉
(sorry, i was really bored this afternoon! 😄 😉 )

In Ancient Greece, they were (...) incarnations of wisdom and sacred to the intelligent goddess Athene (--that's the same as roman Minerva, like McGonagall... sad that she isnt head of our house ^^)
Yea, I think owls would be great as it's also an animal about which one can write a lot <imo>.

I like the snake as it's usually always connected to Slytherin, but could represent Ravenclaw as well... though the owl is maybe more typical.

and i found a few other animals that stand for wisdom: a cougar (wtf is that..., i'm not english) a crane a dove an elephant and an ibis (again...)
but they aren't really rare though...
ah well 😄
Cougars are a type of cats, aka silverlions or pumas... or ?andian cats? (not sure if thats used in english)
