I could use some help from the experts

> This is exactly the thing that works in a murder mystery - the 
players have this kind of dialogue and reason out the real killer in 
the end. AND If we pick a "good guy" more players will feel compeled 
to help. AND we could come up with some really funny reasons for his 
demise. Did he borrow a scarf from Sybil and not return it? Did 
Poppy resent his healing charms?


Tonks:
OK, here goes. My best shot.
Flitwick has a nephew that works at Gringotts and he has heard about 
an attempted break-in.  The Goblins want to keep it quiet because it 
would not be good for business.  Flitwick says that he will keep an 
eye open for anything that he might hear.  He will never tell what 
he knows about the break-in, family honor and all, so the Goblins 
secret is safe with him.

Now maybe Sybil, a little hopped up on wine went to her vault and 
got a bit confused and tried to open the wrong one, setting off the 
alarm. And she quickly left, in a drunken stupor and a blackout.  
She does not remember any of this.

Meanwhile, others (who??)are watch the vault (for ?? purpose)and 
have discoved the attempt. They are looking for the person. They do 
not know that it is Sybil. They try to get information from Flitwick 
because they know that his nephew works there. Flitwick will not 
tell....

I don't think you should really KILL Flitwick.  Just give him a 
little sip of the Living Death stuff.  And it will take the new 
Potions Master to figure that part out. Maybe a trace in a cup in 
Flitwick's room.  It is a rare potion, only very advance Masters 
know how to brew it.  It is not in Pomphrey's area of expertise to 
figure out what has happened to Flitwick and she thinks that he is 
dead.  But before they can have the funeral and put poor Flitwick in 
the ground or burn him as the case may be
   just in the nick of 
time 
   the mystery is solved and Flitwick is saved.
