Correct Answer:

I was going to say Voldemort, but of course, he doesn't help anyone. xd

On a lark, I'll guess the Sorting Hat.
First line: Um...I don't know.
Second line: I don't know if I'm remembering this right, but it seemed like something happened to the Sorting Hat while protecting something. ...Or maybe I really, REALLY need to read the last book again. sweatdrop
Third and fourth lines: While the students look into the future, the Sorting Hat warns them about what happened in the past between the founders of the Houses.

This probably isn't anywhere close, but I thought I'd just make sure. redface

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.

Hahah thanks so much,. though I think the 2nd last line was stretching it a bit.

[.Herms.]

Ahh, sorry guys, although those are both great guesses. I'm especially surprised how well the stone fits! I swear, I tried to make this specific, I didn't realize it could match so many things. But these are fantastic guesses, keep thinking!

No problem.
Even though it was wrong the reasoning fit in perfectly. But who cares if the the 2nd to last line was off xD

I'm going to guess...The Sorcerer's Stone xD

Once again, no! I'm thinking it might be time to work in a hint? Let me see if I can come up with a good one.
Alright! I added a tiny bit in. Hopefully it helps?

Altered the riddle a little bit, see post two up. Just added to the third line.

I want to say Sirius' mirror, even though nothing i think about it seems to fit. XD

Correct Answer:

[Anika_Strizuki]

Darn... someone already said a prophecy, so that's completely scratched out.
I'm stumped.
But i'm not giving up!

[.Herms.]

Oh please don't! I didn't mean for it to be so hard. I'm not very good at writing riddles...although I'm not sure I've actually ever tried before. . .

[Druella Rosier]

Heh... That one is quite hard. gonk

[flight815kitsune]

Sirius himself?

He was made of something precious and injustice, and offered help in dire straits, at least...
