Here we are at the beginning of a new school year, and what better way to get back into the swing of things than by solving a riddle or two? What!? It beats spending hours and hours studying or writing long essays, doesn't it? Now get those quills ready and get busy..or I'll send Filch after you!
A married leader and a single slave
The toothless elder now gone to his grave
The death for which the younger took the blame
Committed by the one he could not name
They've ten between them; ten that do not see
Now name the leader and his enemy.

I make your teeth go chitter,
At the same time I am sweet,
Some of my friends are bitter,
But people them do eat.
My name consists of two words,
With a hyphen in between,
One part is food for owl-birds,
The other one is cold, if you know what I mean.
So be careful when you choose me,
For I am more than I seem,
But don't hesitate to take me.
I see it in your eyes, the gleam.

Looks can be deceiving,
And they certainly were with me.
Betrayal and lying,
People dying,
Makes no difference to me.
I'd do anything to help him get that wretched boy.
That would make my master's empty heart fill with bubbling joy.
Much in common I have with him,
We killed the people we "loved" or not.
I disguised myself for this man;
I'm doing everything I can.
For years and years I endured it all,
In hopes that Harry Potter would take the ultimate fall.

Bifocals rest on the bridge of her nose,
Rose is the color of fingers and toes.
I suppose, as her fingernails are red.
But red hair is not on the top of her head.
She bugs many people to whom she's known.
Her stories are false; her words are not shown
to hold much truth about people and things.
Tis blackmail forces in honesty's ring.

The opposite of active,
The state of calm atoms
The end of my name
Is the end of this word.
I am one of ten
Like my brethern
I am native
To a specific area.
Given a name
By whom I belonged.
I was taken away
But not forgotten.
The beginning of my name
Is the combining of two.
But not this and that
Neither and both.
The fourth letter of my name
Sounds like she who stings.
Only one letter
The second of a complete set.

Your Headmaster had me, when he was young and free.
Years later, he had me a second time around.
You can have just one, but numerous are we.
If I am the wrong one, I end up on the ground.
If you ask me if I am small, my response would be, "Yup"
Be very wary, for I can make you quite ill.
I am so tiny, many of me can fit in just one cup.
If you want to find me, you can start at Honeyduke's.
