*One day, while exploring the forbidden forest*

Gryffindor: Well we need a school motto.

Hufflepuff: Ooh, what about "Hugs for all"? Or "we love you"? Or-

Ravenclaw: "Be wise and you won't be malaise"? "Clever is better"? Or-

Gryffindor: Wait, what does malaise even mean?

Ravenclaw: It means sad, Godric. Like your vocabulary.

Slytherin: Well, none of them seem right. We need something phenomenal. Awe-inspiring. Striking fear into the hearts of those who dare cross us.

Hufflepuff: Shh! A dragon!

Gryffindor: REALLY WHERE

Ravenclaw: Shut up Godric you don't want to wake the dragon. Look, it's sleeping. And how can you miss it anyway? It's gigantic!

Gryffindor: IMMA TICKLE IT

Slytherin: Please, say you're joking. It's a sleeping dragon, Godric. No matter how good your magical ability (which I might add, is nothing compared to mine) you can't avoid being fried alive. 

Gryffindor: WELL I BET I CAN DO IT BECAUSE I'M BETTER THAN YOU HIYAHHH

*Gryffindor runs towards the dragon silently*

Slytherin: Well I can probably do it too. Way better.

*Slytherin runs after Gryffindor*

Hufflepuff: No! Boys! Never tickle a sleeping dragon!

Ravenclaw: They'll learn. One day. 

Hufflepuff: Wait, what is "never tickle a sleeping dragon" in Spanish?

Ravenclaw: No le hagas cosquillas a un dragón dormido. Why?

Hufflepuff: Um. No reason. What about in Latin?

Ravenclaw: Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus. Can you tell me why?

Hufflepuff: It just sounds like an important life lesson, is all. That sounds like a really good motto.

Ravenclaw: Our students will know never to tickle a sleeping dragon...

Hufflepuff: Exactly. Do you know how many witches and wizards die each year due to tickling-dragon injuries?

Ravenclaw: Did you just make up a statistic?

Hufflepuff: Well, at least two by the way Godric and Salazar are going.

*Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff listen to the faint screaming of two ambitious wizards*

Ravenclaw: Oh, all right.
