Fandom Fight: Augurwing

My submission for *Slinkers Fandom Fight Contest! [link] I chose Harry Potter, Option 2.

House Name: Augurwing
Mascot: The Augurey
Colors: Green and Black

Founded by Amelia Augurwing, this house is represented by the Augury. (A depressive version of a phoenix. See p. 2 of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" by Newt Scamander/J.K. Rowling) Like the augury, members of Augurwing are often depressive, emotional, abnormal, and like things that most people do not (like rainy, gloomy weather). Some may call them 'emos', but despite this many Augurwings have come out with some of the greatest talent Hogwarts has seen, and tend to be very creative artistically and muscially rather than athletically.

Or rather, this is what the house would be like if it existed. Many are doubtful of Amelia Augurwing's existence, as many of the history books neglect to mention her story of leaving after Godric Gryffindor let it slip that he didn't think she was very pretty. Nowadays Augurwing is a joke among the Hogwarts students, and anyone who gets too depressive or emtional is accused of being an 'Augurwing'. There is even a kind of cult group among the students who believe that they were actually destined to be in Augurwing because of their tragic family pasts...or they just broke up with their boyfriend/girlfriend.

Did some research on this one to come up with the idea. The 'shield' in the logo is shaped more like a teardrop, as that's how the augurey's nest is supposed to be shaped. I like the name of the house, I know I definitely wanted something with 'wing' in it.
