Merry Christmas!!!
…….
Lee's cousin is a computer freak, and he isn't even a muggle.
When George told Lee that he needed to find out where somebody is, he told him about this computer freak cousin, whose name is Jed. Fred and George went to go visit Jed and use his computer to find out where Tammy is.
When George asked Fred if you could find someone in the wizard world, using a computer, Fred simply said that Tammy was probably in the muggle world and typing her name in a search engine would probably work.
Jed was short. Since the twins were rather tall, they had to look down to see him. When they looked straight forward, they barely noticed he was there. Jed also had round glasses and boring clothing, but if he was taller, wore better clothes and didn't wear his glasses, he would probably look not bad.
He let them go upstairs, which is where the computer was. His computer as on already, and was on a game that was paused. George turned off the game and searched for a link to the Internet. When he found it, he looked through Jed's favorites for a search engine.
They used Google. George typed in 'Tamara Anderson' and looked at what was found. George read it out loud. "Faculty profiles: Tamara Anderson, Science professor…. Tamara Anderson, model/actress in New York…. Tall, beautiful girl named Tamara looking for a date… Oh gosh, Fred, unless she signed up to be an actress or professor or she's replacing me, we won't find her!" George complained.
Fred sighed. "Read two more."
"Okay… Murder of 18-year-old Ta-" her started but stopped mid-word and blinked, clicking the link to the site.
"What? That can't be Tammy." Fred looked at the screen and knew he was wrong. There was a picture of her on the page. "Read it."
"No… No…" George didn't read it. He just apparated to the house.
……
George landed on Tammy's bed. He looked around. The room was empty.
Detective Iona walked in and was rather shocked to see George. "Who are you?"
"Tammy's… Tamara's boyfriend."
"You're not her boyfriend. Her boyfriend is Mr. Kirk Benevide."
George stood up. He raised an eyebrow. "I'm… I'm her boyfriend."
The detective took out a pair of handcuffs but didn't put them on George. "Are you telling me that Miss Tamara Anderson had two boyfriends?"
George didn't answer. He had pain in his eyes. Was Tammy cheating on him? Was that why she hadn't wanted to marry him? "She… She was cheating on me."
Detective Iona didn't say anything. He just looked at George, curious to see what else he would say.
"She said she loved me… She said..." George stood up and started to walk out but the Detective stopped him. "Sorry I can't let you leave. No matter how bad I feel, you're still a suspect."
"But… okay." George sighed. "What do I do now?"
"You can… I suppose you can come to the police station, but you won't be locked up. Don't worry."
…..
Fred went home. After being hugged to death by Angelina, he went to sleep, even though it was the middle of the day.
Angelina came into the room. "I'm going to go visit my mum and dad. Wanna come?"
Fred sat up slowly. "Do you want me to come?"
"Only if you want to."
"So you want me to?"
"Well, yeah. But if you don't want to, you don't have to."
"I'm coming." He stood up.
…..
George sat in a small chair in the police station. He would have to be questioned in court in about half an hour, and he was waiting there until then.
He had no idea when she was even murdered, so he didn't know if he had an alibi.
After the half an hour of waiting, he was taken to court.
A lawyer stood up and started asking questions. "So…. Your name is George Weasley, and you're 18 years old. Am I correct?"
George nodded. "Yes."
"So… how did you know Tamara?"
"I was her boyfriend. I've actually known her since we were 13 years old."
"Sources have informed me that Tamara's boyfriend was Kirk Benevide. Do you think she was cheating on you perhaps?"
George blinked. It was hard for him to speak. His girlfriend was dead and they expected him to tell all these people that she had cheating on him? "Yes." He coughed.
The lawyer was pacing back and forth, thinking of questions. "Did you perhaps know that she was dating Kirk at the same time?"
"No. Not until after she died."
"I see…. If you had known it, would you have been mad?"
"Yes but-" he started but the lawyer interrupted. "I wasn't done."
"Sorry."
"So, would you have been mad? Perhaps mad enough to kill…"
"I would never kill Tammy. Never. I loved and still love her with all my heart."
"I see… So, where do you live?"
"London." He had nearly said that he lived in Diagon Alley, but caught himself.
"Isn't that a bit far from where Tamara lived?"
"She lived with me, but recently left."
"Why'd she leave?"
Now he expected him to tell all these people that she hadn't wanted to marry him? "I think… I think she left because I asked her to marry me, and she…. She didn't want to marry me."
"I see… Did you buy her a ring?"
"Yes."
"Do you have it with you?"
"No."
"I see…"
Why did he have to keep saying 'I see'?
"Tamara was killed between 5 PM and 3 AM last night. Where you anywhere at this time?"
"Yes. Yes I was. I was at dinner with my family from 4:30 to 6:45, then I went home and straight to sleep."
"Does anyone else but you live in your house?"
"My brother and his girlfriend."
"And their names are…?"
"Fred Weasley and Angelina Johnson."
"I see," the lawyer said. "… That will be all for now. You will be notified if we need you to come again."
"Sure." George said.
