I
At first glance, glaring, dark and brooding but I know that's not what you stand for.
Looking closer, you're not glaring, but there's doubt in your eye
Blue and grey surround you, symbolizing the colors of your house, though those are the fitting colors, they aren't the mascot colors.
Of blue and bronze.
You aren't even the right bird to fit the name but you are to fit the symbol.
O Eagle, don't you have fate that you can withstand the Ravenclaw honor?
II
Bronze, blue grey, the colors symbolize intelligence, wit, wisdom, creativity and originality.
A house in which I am proud to belong in.
Your pose suggest confidentiality but look!
Your gleaming brown eyes show doubt, wonder, worry and hope. Emotions that contradict each other but mix perfectly well.
It's confusing but it makes sense.
What do you hope for your students in your Hogwarts House, proud Eagle?
III
Turning you over, you're bland, colorless, lifeless.
A pin is the only sign of life, but even then, you seem bored, depressed, a duller grey.
No color but grey.
Pointy, to stab through my clothing and stick it or to stab someone if needed to be.
I doub that's what you wish to do, as you probably hope that it never comes to a fate for someone to use you for a violent act.
O Pin, are you just waiting to fulfill your purpose?
IV
I wonder all the things you could do besides hurt someone and stick in place.
Sometimes, you could be useful.
If someone broke in and you were the only thing that could defend or help, then you could stall to let the victim get away.
In a less violent way, you could make someone proud, by holding the Eagle up, to show the house in which that person belongs to, even if they get bullied for it or if their friends are in a different house.
You pull friends together without even trying, by just symbolizing and staying stuck.
Pin, are you proud to be you?

"Why try to know
When knowing is trying?"
