Time Turner.

1st line. Refers to the mystical elements that make up a time turner
2nd line. The time turners were accidentally destroyed in OotP
3rd Line. There were five kids at the ministry and they looked forward in life whereas the time turners move backwards.
4th line. It helped them in book 3 to free sirius as well as buckbeak.

Again, that's not it. But that's a very good guess. I didn't realize when I wrote it that the riddle might invoke so many things! Keep thinking guys, these are all really good guesses. smile

If I'm right I'm hoping I can find a good explanation xD

Correct Answer:

[Vapid Philosophy]

Horcrux. The Resurrection Stone.


Made of a precious substance and injustice
Made by a soul, and made when a killing happens

I was destroyed by spells meant for another
The object is destroyed because the destroyer wants to destroy the horcrux, not the actual object as in the case of the stone.

Ten eyes look forward but I look backwards
The stone brought back five people from the past who urged harry on forward.

I offered help in dire straits.
The stone brought out the people in the forest to encourage harry on.

I've got a riddle in mind, too, but I don't really know what to click on to give people stuff... sweatdrop

If you don't know how to send money or an item as a prize...the "trade" button is under the shop tab at the top of your screen. from there you enter the person's name and the amount of gold or items you're sending. Both have to accept the trade, and then it's done. smile

Ah, okay! Thanks a bunch! biggrin
