[HPFGU-OTChatter] I could use some help from the experts

Our family is having a Magical Murder Mystery for our two day December
get together this year. Christmas at Hogwarts will include Dumbledore
(who may have been found alive or is being impersonated) McGonagall,
Pomfrey, Sybill (who needs a good prophesy), Hagrid (some deadly new
pet?), a new DADA, and 2 students (recovering from something). Someone
is dead, someone here did it - and facts point to everyone. 

Unlike a lot of the HP sites I've looked through, this site and it's
sister site seem to be made up of very intelligent, very well read,
and amazingly knowlegeable people - Really, where else would I go if I
need a prophesy from Sybill that points to everyone at the table? Or
some really funny puns? 

I'll take any suggestion, pointer, idea - and if it comes out well -
I'll send everyone the plan I finally put together - and my thanks.

Now Phil:
Firenze, the handsome centaur is found dying in his classroom.
He is taken to the hospital wing where Pomfrey gives him some medicine. Firenze chokes and dies.   
Sybill  is the main suspect until it is discovered that he was killed by one of Hagrid's  crossbow arrows.
Then it was found out that the arrow had poison on its head. The two students are suspect since they were part of the archery team that practiced in the classroom.
They were recovering in the hospital wing from the poison that they were using on the arrow tips.
At the Christmas dinner, McGonagall brings the portrait of  Dumbledore down and places it on the wall so he can speak to the group.
He says that although there were no portraits in Firenze's classroom, other portraits reporter that everyone at the table was seen going into the classroom at sometime during the day.
McGonagall  says she went into the classroom to discuss things with Firenze  since he could not go up the spiral staircase to her office.
Sybill then goes into a trance and says:
"THE ONE WITH THE POWER THAT VANQUISHED THE WHITE CENTAUR IS HERE. ... Killed          BY THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, 
KILLED AS THE SEVENTH MONTH
DIES. 
AND THE WHITE CENTAUR  WILL MARK THEM AS HIS EQUAL, 
BUT THEY WILL HAVE POWER THE WHITE CENTAUR KNOWS NOT. 
AND THE WHITE CENTAUR DIED AT THE HAND
OF THE OTHER FOR HE COULD NOT LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES."
