CHT’s Riddles

First up is a rhyming riddle, this one #284 and made by TheHacktivist42.
Beyond me was a discreet meeting,
I featured those who deserved beating.
I associate with a selective throng,
Despite challenges I still stand strong!
What am I?
Wow, we haven’t had a rhyming riddle in awhile, good job! In case you don’t know what this is, don’t worry, several hints were supplied, including that this is a place in Hogsmeade that sells stuff, and is in the main series, which Harry has seen with his own eyes. LectorMagnificus guessed the correct answer for this one, which turned out to be Dervish and Banges!
Eaglewarror33’s riddle is next, and this was certainly an interesting one. Let’s take a look at it.
I am well known by many
Having been created many years ago
I was intended to prevent disaster
And can be used in more ways than one
What am I?
Exactly 5 hours passed before this was guessed, allowing time for multiple things to be revealed about the answer. This was in the first half of the Fantastic Beasts textbook, but Harry knows about it. For the disaster- there would have to be a very specific thing to happen to another specific thing, likely resulting in death. As far as we know, the answer did help prevent it. It's an idea, but not a spell/law/rule/process/plan/association/legend and does not have an article on this wiki or wikipedia, but many of you will still likely know and recognize it. It cannot be instated and isn’t related to the Ministry of Magic. This answer to this riddle was rather unusual, so if you have no idea what this is, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Littlebluebubble, crediting LectorMagnificus, finally guessed the answer, the motto of Hogwarts, Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus!
There is also another riddle from earlier today, but that will be included in the next edition. Now, onto the games and events!

Games and Events

Time for Games and Events- there have been a lot of them lately.
First off, @DorkyForLife0701 posts the first season/premier of their ‘Wizarding World: The Bachelor.’ @Slytherin.Goddess.Of.The.Moon continues their Would You Rather polls. @XxMaxineCullenxX does a Draco Malfoy’s search history, that got some fun comments. @TheHacktivist42 starts a House Cup tournament. @PotatobabyxDD continues their ‘Harry Potter games.’ @LUNA ROYALE HIGH also continues their Harry Potter 30-day challenge, which is now halfway through. @Iriscowling starts a ‘Who’s your favorite?’ poll tournament, that looks interesting.
Moving on, @ShadowThe2nd posts the Week 1 Results of their ‘Weekly Artist Tournament.’ @InaYah.2009 continues their Daily Games. Next is, as a frog, one of my favorite Games and Events posts- a post by @Pawjet, which asks how Harry Potter would be if they were Frogs. You heard me right. Frogs. That one got some hilarious comments. @Lurker3993 does a post asking What would you do if you were the High Inquisitor, that looks funny.
@DIYA K M starts a HP fanart competition, that’ll be interesting. @William Perks starts a ‘The Artist’s Contest.’ @PotatobabyxDD also starts an Art contest.
That’s it for now! Check the category if you want to play in/vote in/join these, and now time for Fanfics and Roleplays!

Fanfics and Roleplays

Wow! Those games sound fun! But something else just as fun were the roleplays recently, and the fanfics were great as well! Some which started yesterday were two labeled as Harry Potter Roleplays (which make sense, of course), but we have one in 7th year, which is a Triwizard Tournament roleplay. The founders roleplay, although two days old, seems interesting as well. Don't they say the oldies are the goodies? Well, that doesn't concern the fanfics, which included "The fun (and not so fun) explorations of Daisy White" (@CuriousBookWorm123), "The One and Only" (@BetterToBeABookNerd), and "Savage Love" (@Steine7326). Check out the fanfics and roleplays section to read or be a part of it!

Fact of the Day
Written/subbed by Brystal Granger
Here’s an interesting fact- did you know that Ron’s dad, Arthur Weasley, was supposed to die? JK Rowling had planned that Mr. Weasley was going to die when he was attacked by Nagini in the 5th book, then thought better of it. Mr. Weasley was one of the very few good fathers in the books, as JKR said. Maybe even the only good father. Instead of him, JKR killed the characters she never thought she’d kill- Lupin and Tonks. She said she wanted the readers to see another child, aka Teddy, left behind. How rude.
