  Tesha:
  > 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.

   Now Phil:
  Flitwick, the  small wizard with a dash of Goblin blood, is found dying in his classroom.
  He is taken to the hospital wing where Pomfrey gives him some medicine. Flitwick 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 Flitwick'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 Professor Flitwick's
  classroom to discuss his request to  relocate his office from near the base of the West Tower to the top of the North tower formally inhabited by Sybill Trelawney. 
  Sybill then goes into a trance and says:
  "THE ONE WITH THE POWER THAT VANQUISHED THE WHITE HAIRED ONE IS HERE. ... Killed          BY THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, 
  KILLED AS THE TWELFTH MONTH
  DIES. 
  AND THE WHITE HAIRED ONE  WILL MARK THEM AS HIS EQUAL, 
  BUT THEY WILL HAVE POWER THE WHITE HAIRED ONE KNOWS NOT. 
  AND THE WHITE HAIRED ONE DIED AT THE HAND
  OF THE OTHER FOR HE COULD NOT LIVE WHILE THE OTHER SURVIVES."

  But why would anyone want to kill tiny little Filius Flitwick?
   Hagrid might have accidentally shot the arrow through the open window in Flitwick's classroom. 
  Sybill  losing her protection from Dumbledore was thought to be soon evicted from her premises by  the more senior Professor,  Flitwick.
  Pomfrey  forgetting about Flitwick's ancestry, may have given him a antidote that was not compatible with his part Goblin blood.  
  The two Slytherin  students thought injuring Flitwick would give their team better odds in winning the next house cup.
   
  The murderer turned out to be Snape who before  he Stupefied Flitwick, used the Imperius Curse on him to have him shoot himself at Christmas with a poisoned boomerang arrow.
  But it turns out that the poison Snape put on the arrow was really the Draught of Living Death.
  Phil who came up with this idea on Sept 14 and sent it directly to Jan.
