The new riddle: probably too easy for you, but enjoy it nevertheless! 
A helping hand so swift
A never-ending gift
That money never bought
A mark on what you sought
What am I?

Ooh, a tricky Christmas riddle!
I'll start us off with the first wrong guess - is it the Dark Mark?

LOL, Verity, at a tricky Christmas riddle! A Christmas riddle it is indeed! 
Thanks for the first guess, but the answer is not the Dark Mark, although the clues really seem to fit.

OK, I'm going to guess a Weasley jumper.
My reasoning is -
First line - Knitted with the help of magic
second line - never ending because Molly makes them every year.
third line - Molly makes them, not buys them
Fourth line - Harry's jumper has the pattern of a snitch, sought by the seeker.

Mona, I like your reasoning, and your guess is definitely a step in the good direction, but the answer is not a Weasley jumper. Thanks for the guess!

Thanks for the guess, Choices! The magic Molly uses to prepare meals and clean up afterwards is such a good idea that it deserves a riddle, however, it will have to be a different riddle. The answer to this one is something else.

Ok, could it be when they were in Bellatrix's vault looking for the horcrux and everything started multiplying? I don't remember exactly, but wasn't it Hermione's spell that set off the chain reaction?

Great guess, Choices, although the answer has nothing to do with Bella's vault. But you are in the right book.

Does it have something to do with Hermione's beaded bag? There does seem to be a never-ending supply of things in there....

Oh, wait, what about the wreath Hermione made for James and Lily's grave? It's circular, which covers the "never ending" bit, and she made it on Christmas, which I believe was hinted at. It marked the grave that Harry had sought, and was made, not purchased.

The Christmas riddle has been solved! The answer is indeed
The explanation is perfect as well, but, just for the record, I repeat it here:
The riddle baton goes to Puck!

- the wreath of Christmas roses that Hermione conjured and Harry left on his parents' grave on Christmas Eve in DH.

Sorry it took so long! I had one ablaut figured out, and then thought that I had already used that answer for a previous riddle, so started again.
My perch is on top,
though not very high.
The guise of innocence.
Oh, how I lie!
Guess away!

Good guess, but now are correct I'm afraid. (Though if we were playing hot and cold I'd say you're gradually getting warmer. )
