Riddles


Old riddles, from when they started to become strictly Harry Potter. Answers are on the bottom, written backwards. 

1. I am not of flesh, no blood to shed. Around, you'll see me if you've walked with the dead. Remember the fifth and you'll remember why. If you can perceive me, you've reason to cry.


2. Two faces i wore, though with one i first sought
power and greed, of which i knew not.
Reborn was he, because of my hand.
But until death, I remained always with his brand.
I "perished" as the first adjourned.
Don't mess with the dark arts, lest you get burned.

3. The truth you seek to know.
Though it is no easy feat.
My brothers lead you in a row 
to stop a sad repeat. 
two frightful boys, friends of a friend
I was not to blame
the answer you are looking for 
lies within his name.

4. Will you visit? Do you dare?
Reclaim the prize of a long dead heir.
He killed her without a moment's thought.
A slave guard I lay forgot. 
Tortured, broken. I remained 
forever fallen, always chained. 
It is the name that you require.
The one whom trusts not, trusted this liar.

5. White and Black
Sprung from my flight
I'll mourn when you cry
This sadness is might
Black in want of what I'll always be 
White in need of a lover free 
Knowledge is power but power corrupts 
It will all change when he interrupts

6. I have carried the cold
I have carried the frightened
I've held your spirits heightened
you've gorged, you've read
Slept, and bled. 
Talked of things better left unsaid
This is the beginning, This is the end. 
Not royal nor pious, i could contend. 
Enter new, through the divide.
Leave wistful and teary eyed.

7. Three names I usually go by; one of them with the relation to the symptom I relieve.
My swords of venom keep the unworthy away from my healing blooms.
A wizard named by glory unlocked my treasures' worth;
Witnessing my powers emanating my petal pigment.


8. Pain and blood commence beginning 
One will fall and one objects
Take from them, offered and unwilling
Trials and nonages these reflect
Denounce a fellow friend for freedom
A mother’s sacrifice to stall the ending
Maker of the illicit emblem
This unhappy one will take the blame

9. Fear and hate surrounded the gate.
The night he fell, these four did all but yell.
Fighting for their life and all others
side by side with their brothers.
A horned slug that liked to collect,
three of the four he did select.
The golden Pisces leap out at the air
Fame and fortune aren’t always fair

11. Prophecies are only tales
Made true by what we self fulfill

the fate that ended with a kill

not granted in a desperate plea
A sharp tongue will always burn
The fault lies with contempt for me.

Surface pure white, heart of black
Somber death from an attack

16. Barred by the ones who trained
A dictum of my life ingrained
My maker stayed with me confined
Dark history lights a path defined

17. A warrior in darkest era
Now misplaced in modern times
Guiding others to their place
With scenery changing as we climb
Any who dares to cross my path
Will be detained with words most foul
But another like me you won't soon find
When evil doers are on the prowl
