Backstory

So, this is my story. I am 21 year old worker of the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Mysteries. Yes, now we actually can talk about that. At least, I can. I was born in Russia, but my parents wanted me to study abroad, so they thought that I will do my best at Hogwarts. Long story short I was sorted in Gryffindor and graduated with pretty good N.E.W.T.s and was able to start training as an auror. A year later, my mentor decided that I would be a better fit as an Unspeakable, so he requested my transfer(with my approval, of course), and that is how I appeared to be here. Why I decided to work here? Many times in my life I heard a story of one brave man, named Sirius Black, who possibly died not because of Lestrange's spell, but because of falling into the Ark. The mystery of the Ark always was in the of my mind and when I saw the opportunity to explore this piece of magical world I had no other thoughts but to start working here.
P.S. I am not saying that I am working with Ark, you know, but it is possible.
P.P.S. Do not tell my boss I left it there, he may not understand my behaviour, he is an old folk with old rules, you know. And bloody hell, I don't want to live in Azkaban!
