switchknife: So: What does your Ministry profile look like? Are you human? Wolf? Vampire? Elf? Wealthy curse-breaker or penniless Knockturn prostitute? Hardened criminal or saintly Mediwitch? Consider this a quirky meme with which you can get yourself a Wizarding identity. Add fields as and when you like. :)
