yay... ff.

Ram shackled and rundown by all standards they say, I am still very useful for keeping those sweepers OK?

Could this be the ghoul in the attic at the Burrow?

Miss Charlotte,

Oh I wish I could say yes, but I must say no... Pay close attention to the second line and the clue I gave above and I hope it will sweep the cobwebs away.

[fangsfan1]

2. I have six upon six plus one who will fool. By magic I survive, yep me and my Ghoul.

This one I thought was the toughest one. I had several guesses which I think are probably wrong because they don't seem to fit everything. But I've decided to put the guess in because sometimes I think even a wrong guess can get people a little closer to the correct answer.

So I'm wondering if this is the Burrow instead of the other one I guessed wrong on. There are six Weasley boys and the one who will fool is Ginny maybe? And the Burrow does have a ghoul in it and being a house of wizards and magical objects, you could say it survives on magic.

AHA! Yes Fangsfan1, you are absolutely correct in your answer.. It is in fact the BURROW itself..

Now, however you came to that conclusion matters little but let me give you some insight into the true meaning of the actualy riddle.

1. I have six upon six plus one who will fool.

"It is likely to have once been a farmhouse (though it looks more like it might have been a "large stone pigpen"), on top of which several crooked stories look to have been added (CS3).Currently the house has six bedrooms (DH6) and six stories, plus an attic, with a rickety uneven staircase climbing among the stories. "

So you see, the Burrow itself has SIX STORIES built upon what appears to have originally have been a single story farm house.. So, Six, plus the original which will fool you by site makes it Six Stories with Six Bedroom.. Six Bedrooms upon Six Stories plus the original first floor. PLUS the attic with the Ghoul who will fool some to believe it is Ron with Spattergrout.

2. By magic I survive

"Home to the Weasley family, the Burrow is a house just outside the village of Ottery St. Catchpole (GF6), and is built so crazily that it must certainly be held up by magic. "

So you see, without Magic, the Burrow surely could not survive or stand.

3. yep me and my Ghoul.

"Just outside Ron's bedroom, a small hatch opens from the ceiling, revealing a ladder to the attic. Up the ladder is a tiny space nestled beneath the building's rafters, where the family ghoul lives (DH6) and sometimes bangs the pipes in the night (CS3)."

Yep the one which will fool is the Weasleys Ghoul. And where does the Ghoul live? And who then would be ME? The Burrow of course!

You know what...I just got it.. I kept trying to figure out what you meant by sweepers. For some reason I kept thinking about the people looking for the trio in the DH book... but I knew they were called something different.

Ram shackled and rundown by all standards they say, I am still very useful for keeping those sweepers OK?

The Weasley's old shed... the one where Dumbledore sat with spiders hanging off of his hat while he was talking to Harry... The same shed that they kept their brooms. Ginny was known for sneeking in there while her older brothers were off at school. She's borrow thier brooms and practice flying and doing quidditch things.

You are more than welcome Fangsfan1.

What I found so bizarre is this, I had considered this last Fawkes Burning Quiz one of the easiest that I have every created. My mind must be missing something.

1. From way in the back did I peak all about. My stare did glare but hidden I kept my snout. The greens did cover me all fairly well, till he who survived caught on me and then I was to tell.[/size]


2. In row upon row I am to be found. Lowly guarded by stone and large flowers to be found. Prim and proper and square as can be. Many a stacks reside upon me.[/size]

3. Round and round and swings too and fro. To teeter on the edge, still a comfort I am to be known.[/size]


4. So small and cramped but a refuge I be. The residents you see are hung by threads you see. For Ten minus a few where many a night, the place to doze and stay out of sight.[/size]


5. Clad in Tartan Slippers and Tins galore, she made her way to my smelly Ole door. For Felines do smell when left to their own, but cabbage will cut through that acrid smell alone. The kitties did come and the kitties did go, but their remembrance was captured and put on a yearly good show.[/size]

Ooh, these are some toughies! Could this one be Harry's cupboard with the spiders in it?

Very good Fangsfan1! You are absolutely correct. It is the Cupboard beneath the stairs.

Could this possibly be Professor McGonagall?

Is it Dobby when he hid in the hedge and his eyes stared out at Harry?

Ah, though we all know that Minerva McGonagall loves Tartan and her animagus is a feline, sorry this is not the correct answer though as you will find that she does not fit the rest of the riddle itself.

Please do try again Miss Charlotte!

Yes, yes, yes Fangsfan1. Your answer is Absolutely Correct!

I'm kind of stumped by this one and number three too. I had a few guesses for this but neither one seem to fit all the clues. But I'm going to guess Hagrid's hut for this. The row upon row could be the trees in the forbidden forest. The stone part fits and he does have a flower garden. But I can't figure out where the prim and proper and the stacks would fit in with this guess.
Anyway my first guess is Hagrid's hut.
