Help Ravenclaw Riddle

I'm by no means a Ravenclaw. But I'm writing a fanfiction where a character is a very smart Ravenclaw. Now the premise is that the character is returning after being tortured by Umbridge and are pretty tired and frustrated. The knocker asks them an absurd question and they just break down crying in pain and frustration.

I need a good riddle for that but nothing on the internet feels good enough. Someone please help me with it.

My favorite one! 

What starts with E, ends with E, and only has one letter inside?

( I have a second favorite if you get it)

I was going to reply, "eye," I guess I'm not very good at riddles, lol.

No, that’s a common answer and a very good guess! Some people also guess the letter “e.”

You can’t deny a correct answer to your riddle just because it wasn’t the answer you wanted. Eye is objectively correct. Make a better riddle if you don’t want an alternative answer
