**CHT’s Riddles**

Written by CHT64; compiled by Thesewingsaremadetofly and Flyingfoxz

Edited by Thesewingsaremadetofly

*CHT has started making easier riddles, so on Sunday, February 14th, she created this one.*

***I was abusive and had a special trait***

***My life forever changed because of my actions***

***Later, I was punished for another crime***

***And many were disbelieving of my fate***

***Who am I?***

*There were no hints for this riddle. There was a slight mix-up, and this riddle was answered twice, the first guess Marvolo. This was guessed soon after the riddle was posted by @UnicornSaysHi. Then, it was realized Marvolo wasn’t the answer in mind, so @Melx100 guessed Morfin, and earned a point for Gryffindor, adding to Unicorn’s point for Slytherin. Both were counted.*

*Earlier today was the five-riddle special which takes place every day twenty-five. As today was was riddle #225, she created these five:*

***#1: I had an issue that was easily solvable,***

***Yet I went with my parents’ suggestion.***

***But when an accident made it worse,***

***I took full advantage of the situation.***

***Who am I?***

***#2: I was beautiful, but hard to access***

***And many desired my help***

***I wasn't exactly what I seemed to be***

***But I still helped change some lives***

***What am I?***

***#3: I am unique in more ways than one***

***Being used for some important tasks***

***I've helped a few escape from danger***

***But was heavily damaged after an event***

***What am I?***

***#4: I have a special and useful trait***

***And was once the reason for regret and shame***

***I was unfairly insulted for my actions***

***But was talented and well-cared for***

***Who am I?***

***#5: I was strict and cared about my reputation***

***Keeping a secret the best I could***

***Many rumors happened because of this***

***And I was killed one day in an accident***

***Who am I?***

*The first riddle today was suggested by LectorMagnificus, a Ravenclaw. The answer to it was Hermione Granger, guessed after about an hour by 1account, a Ravenclaw. The single hint was, ‘This character is female.’ The eventual answer shocked many, as the riddles are rarely main characters (see Riddle #173 for exception).*

*The second riddle was also the second guessed, and it was the Fountain of Fair Fortune- the genuine Fountain, not the book it was featured in. It was guessed by Melx100, a Gryffindor.*

*The third riddle today was revealed to be Sirius Black’s motorbike, guessed after several attempts like ‘Harry Potter’s Wand’ and ‘Nimbus 2000.’ Interestingly enough, CHT64, called the ‘Goddess of Riddles’ by some, admitted that Harry Potter’s wand did fit the riddle well, but was not the correct answer. Instead, UnicornSaysHi, a Slytherin, got the point. The one hint was ‘It was introduced in the first half of the main series.’*

*The fourth, and longest taking riddle today was guessed by LectorMagnificus, who is a Ravenclaw. However, this user graciously gave the point to Hufflepuff. The eventual answer was Edward ‘Teddy’ Lupin. It was revealed that several people had been thinking the same, though they did not guess. The two hints of this were, ‘This character is male and appeared in the second half of the main series.’*

*Lastly, the fifth riddle was revealed to be Kendra Dumbledore by Cygnetter. This user is a Ravenclaw, and they guessed it before anybody else had a chance.*

**Current RPs (Short for roleplays), Tournaments, and Games**

*Moving on from the extremely fun riddles, let’s take a peek at our roleplays! Roleplays are a must in the Harry Potter fandom, and there’s so many fun rp’s that have started since Saturday!*

*It’s Book Lover 2010’s first roleplay, but it looks like it’ll be so fun!! Taking place during the holidays at the end of the third year, it sounds like a blast! Bloomfirefairyofficial has also created one, including Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Luna. I’m excited to see how this goes. There are also just too many to mention! A few others were created by PotatobabyxDD, Sunnysideupeggs, SarahLovesCats, and so many more other users. To join a roleplay, make sure you check the Fanfics & Roleplays category!*

*Let’s move on to the games and events! There have been a lot of “Who is this? (Wrong answers only)”. There are some hilarious names, including Katniss Everdeen, Barbie, and even Peppa Pig! There’s also a Finish the Sentence, created by Zane501. Also super funny, make sure to check that out if you need some laughter in your life.*

*Sadly, there aren’t any new tournaments from what I’m aware of, but I could always create one! And guess what? You can create a tournament too! We’ll be so excited to see what you'll do next!!*

**Trivia, Facts, Canon**

*Well, you’ve just gotten a look at the roleplays, now let’s look at the truth—or, as Professor Binns would put it, solid, believable,* fact*!*

*Werewolves: Every month at the full moon, werewolves—wizard and Muggle alike—transform to a whole new form. Wizards and Muggles alike. But did you know that Muggles are much less likely to survive a werewolf attack, so their infected numbers are significantly fewer?*

*And did you know that Xenophilius Lovegood’s first name is derived from the word ‘xenophile’, which means ‘someone who is attracted to foreign people, manners, or cultures’? Sounds accurate for Luna’s father...*

*Now for the trivia—what are the nicknames of the four House Ghosts, matched with their House?*

The ship of the day is Romione! Do you support this ship as well?

The quote of the day is: “*Training for the ballet, Pottahhhhh?*” -Draco Malfoy
