'What was once on my shoulder I have first given to you, inside be the things you will need, here's a clue; southeast is the way to endless lake where a friend of the Devil will help for your sake'

Rowena Ravenclaw's smarts seemed to be born with her-- yet she couldn't seem to figure out the riddle her friend Uni Elora Lovegood.
It had been a good half an hour since her sister Flaura Mae Ravenclaw, inventor of the unforgivable curses, took away the people that could have actually help her away to the castle Rowena was supposed to be teaching at-- though she doubted it was completely built.
"What was once on my shoulder I have first given to you..." Rowena repeated Uni's words she had written down immediately after Flaura and her assistant of a friend, Ophichus. Come to think of it, she never found out what Ophichus' last name was...
     "First given to me... what, medicine?" Rowena scoffed. All of their belongings haven't been moved since they first came in; they rested on the couch, unaware that two of their owners were gone.
     "A bag..." Rowena remember the time when she first woke up from, well, 'death'-- Uni had given her a bag, so maybe whatever she needed was in Uni's bag!
     Rowena ran over to the couch and started rummaging through the many things in Uni's bag-- clothes, more of her weird glasses, a drawing of something labelled a 'blibbering humdinger'...
     "Aha!"
     She pulled her hand out of the bag with a compass and a telescope. First part of the riddle-- check.
     "Let's see... what's next..." She consulted the piece of paper which she had written down the riddle on.
     " 'Southeast is the way to the endless lake'... hmm, southeast... to the sea? Easy enough." Rowena started enchanting her own bag with an Undetectable Extension Charm in order to stuff Uni's bag as well as her brother-in-law, Orion Cassius Black's bag inside her own.
     The only thing that confused her was the last part; a friend of the Devil will help her? What was that supposed to mean?
     All Rowena knew was that she would be getting help once she reached the shore-- if she reached the shore, that is.
     With the terrifying memory of the ground shaking for her death, Rowena packed up the tent and headed towards the shore as fast as her legs could carry her.
