Albert Tillyman

Albert Tillyman (died c. 1860s/70s) was a suspicious a bullying wizard who was married to Violet Tillyman, a witch who, in 1855, went missing after mispronouncing her destination while using the Floo Network.

Violet disappeared after a particularly nasty row, after which she lept to the living room fireplace and attempted to leave via the Floo Network, between sobs and hiccups, crying that she wanted to go to her mother's house.

After two weeks, Albert found that the house was getting quite dirty, there were no clean pots in the house and that his socks needed washing, and decided it was time Violet returned home. He took the Floo Network to his mother-in-law's. To his surprise, his mother-in-law knew nothing of the row and claimed Violet had never arrived there. After he stormed and searched to house, Albert was convinced she was missing — a poster campaign was held, and several articles were put up on the Daily Prophet, but to no avail.

For several months after Violet's disappearance, people were afraid to use the Floo Network for fear of it vanishing them into thin air. However, as time passed and nobody else disappeared, people got around to use it again, and Albert Tillyman was forced to grumpily return to his house and master cleaning and darning spells.

Albert died without ever knowing that his wife had mistakingly emerged in the fireplace of Myron Otherhaus in Bury St Edmunds, due to the incoherent way she had spoken when she had used Floo Powder. The two fell in love instantly, and lived in seclusion in his house until after Albert died, by which time they already had seven children.
