Hm, someone else might get reasoning because I'm not too sure on it but I'll try.

In me
Time no longer exists.
In the veil everything stands still, there's no time, it's just kinda there.


In me
Adding every person would make a long list.
Harry heard lots of other voices coming from it.


In me
You may dissolve.
Sirius just sort of disappeared when he fell into it, and though he wasn't really 'existent' he was still there.

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
The curtain was in the Ministry in the Department of Mysteries, where most people don't go.

Imagination and duct tape...

Everything you did was perfect! Now, for the part you didn't do:

In me
some problems have been solved
This refers to Sirius. When he died his name was cleared.
I have not given much
and some would say as such
This, refers to Harry. When Sirius died what did Harry get? A dead godfather.

Now, another concept to be solved. VegetasBabie- Other side of what? Sure, Bella's spell hit him which caused him to stumble, but the veil is the cause of death. I just makes sense. My brother agrees with me. DrunkenSamurai agrees with me. I think Choral agrees with me, but I'm not sure with her.
Elevent_hour_reprieve-If he wasn't dead, then how did he appear in the seventh book? Harry ended up using the stone and Sirius was there too. The Stone only brings back the dead. I think I've made my point.

can solve more than you give it credit for.

No, when I put "died" in quotes, I mean that when he went through the veil, he's seen as dead to Harry and the others, but in reality, he might not be dead at all. He's just...floating around, maybe in limbo or with the dead people.


But anyway, I think this "Sirius vs Veil" subject is dead now, right?

[Asher Gaith]

Floating, seemingly harmless
Giddy, I laugh
Cocky, I want to touch
Thoughts, dangerous and hurtful

This refers to the Thought Chamber. The brains float in a container, seemingly harmless. The next two lines were Ron's mistake of touching the brains and he got attacked by the brains, giggling at something when the Death Eater shot him a spell. And as said, the brains are highly aggressive and will attack if touched.

Everyone is here
Close but too far away
A hero falls
And joins us

This refers to the Death Chamber. Every person who died is there, they're close but too far away for if you step into the archway, you may never come back. And that's the situation of Sirius, who fell in the veil and joined the others.

A baby, but older
A man, but younger
A bird that's both
And a lot of sand

This refers to the Time Chamber and the Death Eater that was turned to be a baby, getting younger and older again and again. For being a Time Chamber, it also had sands of time and the Time Turners were smashed during the Battle in the Department of Mysteries.

Hidden deep inside
Behind a secret door
It's full potential unknown
It's power is underestimated

Then this one is the Love Chamber or Ever-Locked Room. It's ever locked for its power is underestimated and I read that there's a fountain of Amorentia somewhere deep inside it.

Past, present, and future
Left here under dust
Warm, waiting for the right person
Will you come for us?

Ah, finally this is the Hall of Prophecy! The prophecies were made telling about either the past, present or future. No one bothered to go down there and, thus, left under dusts. When Harry touched his prophecy, it was warm to the touch, something he completely didn't expect. And as prophecies and whoever heard of it, will the person come for it and find out about their fate?

That's it I guess. I think I got the other reasonings wrong.

[VegetasBabie]

Good job~ You got it all. 3nodding

Trade sent~ I can't wait for the next riddle.

[GladexDeraxCloud]
