RIDDLE

I follow my master wherever I go
What he's thinking, I might know
I'm always close to his mind
I'm unique and one-of-a-kind
My skin might be green
But I do not mind being seen
I am occasionally taken for a spin
So let the riddle solving begin


RIGHT ANSWER:
Fudge's bowler hat
- Answered correctly by WriterGirl57

Wrong Answers:
Nagini
the Basilisk
a wand

[The Lady Narcissa]

I am not certain I understand your fee system in comparison to the fee-per-hint of previous riddles, Miss Tonks...
Are the contestants supposed to pay for the prize?

Preliminaries aside, is the answer Nagini?

Her master would be the Dark Lord, and she is closest to him, therefore possibly knowing his thoughts.
She seems to be his most precious possession, these things considered.
The mention of green skin could be in reference to a snake.

I might have misread the rules when I wrote it. I've been sick. sad

I changed the fee and the prize. mrgreen

Sorry, your answer was not correct because of these lines in the riddle:

But I do not mind being seen
I am occasionally taken for a spin

[WriterGirl57]

I think it's Fudge's bowler.

Reasoning:
I follow my master wherever I go: Fudge always has the hat with him
What he's thinking, I might know: It goes on his head, so it might know what he's thinking.
I'm always close to his mind: Again, on his head.
I'm unique and one-of-a-kind: It's the only green bowler hat ever mentioned.
My skin might be green: It's green.
But I do not mind being seen: It's showy and Fudge always has it. Harry always notes it when he sees Fudge.
I am occasionally taken for a spin: Not sure on this line, but maybe Fudge plays with it or it spins when he goes through the Floo network or whatnot.
So let the riddle solving begin

I could be wrong but it all fits so well.

Would it be a basilisk, seeing as how it didn't care if people saw it, it just turned out no one besides the victims did?

[Druella Rosier]

Urgh, state testing all this week. Brain is burnt out. crying

Perhaps a wand?
When a person claims a wand, they're its master.
Most people keep it with them where they go.
Sometimes wands act on it own accord, usually due to what its master is needing.
Every wand is unique.
Most people won't want to lose their wand and are constantly caring for it.
It might be green...?
Dueling, or spell casting as in spin?
