Murder Mysteries

Ronald Weasley is dead. Find out why. And figure out who killed him.
( This should be fun) 😄

It was 1:30 in the afternoon when I recieved word on the murder of a student at Hogwarts. I was in my office at the ministry when I was told to investigate. I was eating my favorite pastry and drinking my favorite tea. I really liked that pastry. But that's not the point. This was a mystery for the ages. The mystery of the murder of ............Ronald Weasley!
( dundunduuuuuuuuun)

In about 30 minutes, I had arrived at the seen of the crime. There was the mangled body of Ronald Weasley lying on the floor of the entrance hall. There was a rather tasty looking pastry in his cold, dead hands. He appeared to have taken one chomp out of it. Then I saw three leaves on the floor, a yellow feather, a golden chain with hanging gold letters that spelled out MY SWEETHEART, a crumbled up piece of paper, and an empty potion bottle. This was going to be a hard mystery to solve. The mystery of the murder of ..............Ronald Weasley!
( dundunduuuuuuuuuun)

I started with the crumbled sheet of paper. I un-crumbled it to find a picture of a girl and a boy. It was a very good picture, But a dark and messy pencil line separated the girl and the boy. The person who did that must have been upset about something to mess up the picture like that. I first asked around for someone who might have drawn the picture. My sources led me to a young man by the name of Dean Thomas.
ME: "So......did you hear about the murder of .....Ronald Weasley!
( dundunduuuuuuun)
DEAN: "Yeah. It was terrible. Who would do such a thing?"
ME: "Gee, I don't know. Maybeee.....YOU!!!!!!
DEAN: "Me? It wasn't me!
ME: "A likely story."
DEAN: "I'm telling the truth. I mean, I was mad at him because he didn't approve of me dating his sister. And I thought it was all his fault when she had dumped me. I felt horrible. But I would never kill him!"
I held up the picture.
ME: "So this is you and his sister."
DEAN: "Yes. I drew a line inbetween us because I was mad. Then I crumbled it up and threw it on the ground. Now may I go to potions class? Snape doesn't tollerate lateness.
ME: Yes. You may go, but don't leave town anytime time soon, mister.
That's when I realized. POTIONS! There was an empty potions bottle at the seen of the crime. Perhaps I should question Snape. Maybe this would get me one step closer to solving the mystery of the murder of...........Ronald Weasley!!!!!!!( dundunduuuun)
TO BE CONTINUED SHORTLY.................................................

Awesome!!

...........................................................CONTINUED.
I made my way down to the dungeons where Snape's class was held. I managed to pull him aside and ask him some questions while the class was making an invisibility potion.
ME: How would you describe your relationship with.......Ronald Weasley!!
( dundunduuuuuuun)
SNAPE: I never liked the boy. He and his precious friends always got on my nerves.
ME😮h, that's understandable. But is that why.....you killed him!
SNAPE:I did nothing of the sort! If you really want information, you should ask his ex-girlfriend, Lavender Brown. Now get out of my calssroom!
Next I went after Lavender, hoping that she would have answers that would help to solve the mystery of the murder of...... Ronald Weasley!!!!!
( dundunduuuuuuuun)

DUNDUNDUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

PS. Was it Hermione?

If this is a story, is should be in the General Fiction Section.

This a) doesn't belong here
b) is very very lame
c) Lavendar is the killer.

----IN THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM----
ME: Soooooo. Ms. Brown. It seems that you and Ron used to go together.
LAVENDER:Yes. We broke up three days ago.
ME: Why?
L: He didn't like my necklace that I give him for Christmas.
ME: Awwww. Is that why......you killed him!
L: No! It wasn't me! I didn't do it!
ME: the so-called necklace was found at the scene of the crime.
L: it wasn't me! But you can ask Hermione. They're best friends.
.....And so I did.

This is a story then. Ok, reported to be moved to the GF Forum.

Hermione was crying when I went to see her in the library.
ME: I hear that you and Ron were best friends.
H: -sniffle- Yes
ME: did you two ever fight or were you ever mad at him?
H: Yes, but I didn't kill him. I guess I was a little jealous of him and
Lavender Brown. They were always snogging. I couldn't stand it. I had to stop them.
ME: And did you do that by ..........killing him!
HERMIONE: NO! I sent a flock of yellow birds to attack and then....
ME: That explains the yellow feathers.
----Just then a loud noise exploded from the other side of the library. I left Hermione for a moment to go investigate. It appeared that the explosion came from a snapple-vine plant. This plant starts off small and then explodes with full grown and moving vines. They were related to devil's snare, but had distinguishable leaves. THAT WAS IT. The leaves that were found near Ron's body came from this plant. I searched around through the mass of vines to find another clue. What I found was a boy named Neville Longbottom.

OOO!!1

After I untangled Neville from the plant..........
ME: What is your connection to .............Ronald Weasley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
( dundunduuuuuuuun)
N: He's a good friend.
ME: The leaves of this plant were found next to his dead body.
N: He probably still had some on him from when the plant exploded in our dormitory.
ME: A likely story. That's enough questioning for now.

I walked over to where I was talking with Hermione, but she had disappeared. I decided not to go after her for the moment. I was hungry.

DUNDUNDUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!

... And he keeps going...

Another one of my sources told me where to get food. I walked up to the painting of the fruitbowl and I tickled the pear. I walked into the hidden kitchen to find house-elves offering me cups of tea, lemon squares, sweet tarts, and PASTRIES!!!!!! As I was walking through the kitchen I noticed writing on the wall that said IF I CAN'T HAVE HIM, NO ONE CAN.
I asked who had written it and a house-elf came up and said....
"We are sworn to secrecy. Master is the only one that cares about us. Master loves us. We do whatever master says and master will make us free one day.'
"So your master wrote this"?
"Yes. A very bad boy has broken master's heart. We make master feel better"
The pieces were coming together. I just needed to know who 'master' was.
"Who is your master?"
"We are sworn to secrecy. We don't want master to cry."
That's when it hit me. I had solved the case, but have you. Is the killer:

Lavender Brown
Snape
Neville
Hermione
Dean
or the house-elves

And how do you think he died? You have 20 minutes to answer, and then I'll tell you. Good luck 😄

IT'S HERMIONE!!! I think...

That's what I put...

I think this story is a failure.

I don't think so. I like it.

All I had to do now was to use the element of surprise. I waited in the Gryffindor common room.
Hermione, Dean, and Lavender had just come in.
L: That detective was harsh.
H: I know. He kept insisting that I killed Ron.
D: Me too.
H: He had the nerve to yell at me when I was crying.
ME: And that was quite a performance.........Hermione. Or should I say.....Master!
-------------------GASP---------------------------
ME: You had befriended the house-elves and told them that one day you would set them all free. They learned to like you very much.............AS YOU HAD PLANNED ALL ALONG! You came crying into the kitchen and of course they were concerned about their 'master'. So they fixed you some food and you told them all about how Ron had mistreated you and hurt your feelings. You knew that they would also feel anger towards Ron for hurting you, so you planned it carefully. After Ron had thrown away the chain necklace, you had the elves take it and hold on to till the time was right. You then had them take Dean's crumbled piece of art and hold on to it as well. You then had them to take a small bottle of poison from snape's office. After that, you took some of the leaves from Neville's plant. You instructed the elves to back a large pastry with snape's poison baked into it. While you were alone with Ron, you gave him the poisoned pastry. He took one bite and collapsed to the floor dead. You then quickly took the items that the elves collected and planted them around the body. You thought that you would get away with it, but you left the yellow feather behind by accident. When I questioned you about it, you didn't expect me to ask you. If you hadn't left the feather, I would have dismissed you as a suspect. But you knew that I was catching on quickly, so you took the time to sneak out of the library and down to the kitchen while I was hjelping Neville. You quickly swore the house-elves to secrecy and left. So it was you Hermione. You are the muderer of................................Ronald Weasley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
( dundunduuuuuuuuuuun)
H: So you've figured it out, have you. Well fine, I did kill Ron. I was tired of him snogging Lavender. Now all he has to snogg is the grim reaper hahahaha.
ME: Get her, boys.
Just then, some aurors from the ministry showed up and arrested Hermione.
H: I have one question. How did you figure all this out even after the house-elves were sworn to secrecy.
ME: It was easy. You left your diary that gave away every part of your plan from start to finish.
H: But how did you know it was mine?
ME: Your name was doodled all over it. And you left your robe that had your name stitched in it. And you left pictures of yourself next to Ron's dead body. And under the words, IF I CAN'T HAVE HIM NO ONE WILL, were the words HERMIONE WAS HERE. Not to mention that you left a document stating that you caused the death of Ronald Weasley with your signature on it. And then there was the........
H: Ok. I get it.
L: You left all that evidence?
D: That was dumb. You're really bad at getting away with murder.
