Uhm, you got 2 stanzas out of 4, so I'm not sure if I should give it to you...

Shall I be mean...?

Nah, I'll give it to you anyways. xD 50% is a pass after all.

The two you got wrong:

Love has faces that nobody can see
Though conformity knows that thought is not free
And companionship falls only so far
Internal discord opens the Borgia scar

The Black family should love their son, Sirius, but it has faces no one can see because they force their ideology on their children at the same time. If Sirius conformed, it means that he can't think freely. Later on, his friendship falls apart due to the whole Potters business. Internal discord refers to the fight in the Black family home over Sirius and I'm making a parallel between the infamous Borgia family and the Black family.

Break the mutiny of the black reprobate
Against the lore that calls for hate
Did experience mean the truth is told?
For whom could judge as events unfold?

Black reprobate is a pun on Sirius's surname, mutiny refers to his defiance. The lore that calls for hate is prejudice. The 1st question refers to Sirius questioning whether experience (since his parents are older and wiser than him) mean that they're telling the truth? Who can judge as Voldemort is killing his victims and the events of Sirius's life happen?

Oh wow, it was just Sirius?

I kept thinking that the answer involved someone doing something. xD

That was a very challenging riddle, and congrats to Shadowix for getting it!

I didn't put in the first person, or third person, for that reason biggrin

Imagination and duct tape...

Oh, good job! I have another one. I'm thinking this is harder:

HP Limit:
SS, CoS, PoA, GoF, OotP, HBP, DH

Rewards:
Answer: 300
Reasoning: 400

Hint:
50 gold

Time Limit:
November 9

In me
Time no longer exists.
In me
Adding every person would make a long list.
In me
You may dissolve.
In me
Some problems have been solved.
I have not given much
And some would say as such.
I'm hidden where most eyes should not see
But those eyes still may find me

Wrong Answers:
Pensieve
Department of Mysteries
Azkaban
Hogwarts
Room of Requirement
Lake where the locket was kept by Voldy

Right Answer
