Professor Higsworth - Albert Fluckley - Butler
Usually quite laid back, relaxed, lazy and careless, he had never won the 'World's Best Butler' award. However, he had been working for the Hogwarts family for over ten years and considered himself close to the family. Before Lady Hogwarts passed, it was believed that he had always loved her. To impress her (or somebody in the house) he managed to get up off his backside and began to learn new skills and take interest in such things as clay pigeon shooting and horticulture. Β
Family - Ex-wife, divorced him
Alibi - Fixing the bedrooms up for the evening, claims to have no heard the gunshot.
Motive - Recently money had been going missing. At first, a hand was waved and it was ignored. He had been (mostly) loyal for ten years. However, things changed when there was an incident and it became clear that the dead wife of the Lord Hogwarts was not who Fluckley had a soft spot for, so to speak. If he could hide that secret, then who says he couldn't sneak a bit of money? Perhaps somebody was getting too curious and needed taking care of.
