[glow=red,2,300].:A short profile:.[/glow]
Name: Tom Minty
Nicknames:
Age: 78
Gender: Male
Bloodtype Pure Blood
Appearance: Professor Minty is an old man however you could never tell apart from his wrinkles and aging white hair! His boyish youth is known all throughout the school, and he is an eccentric and strange character. He is quite short, as short as an average school boy. He bounds rather than walks, and always appears to be merry. His head is balding, and the hair that's left sticks out in white tufts making him look quite peculiar. However he often wears a pointed hat to hide this. His beard falls down to his middle and he is often caught stroking it in deep thought.
History: As a young boy Tom attended Hogwarts. He was not very popular because of his strange behavior but he excelled in all his subjects. He then got a job in the ministry in the muggle department, but his love of herbology eventually took over and he explored many places of the world to uncover the secrets of plants and herbs. His extraordinary success there has lead him to be well known in The Quibbler, but also by more -ahem- notable people such as the Minister of Magic. After the death of his close friend Dumbledore, Tom grieved much, and disappeared into the Amazon Rainforest to become a hermit for some time. However the ministry called on him to take up the post of headmaster.
Family-
Mother: Hibiscus Minty - As a magical tailor, Toms mother Hibiscus was always working in her shop below their abode. She was a kind and gentle woman although she was always working herself into a frenzy to meet her tailoring deadlines. Tom remembers her to be a smallish woman, kind of heart with frizzy brown hair. She wore sandals and always had on an apron with pin cushion and knitting needles attached.
Father: Asparagus Minty - Normally known as Gus, this tiny fellow worked at the muggle department in the ministry. He had a balding head and was always fretting about paperwork.
Siblings: None.
Pet: Caterpillar called Charles which he keeps in his pocket or up his sleeve. Tom can be often seen feeding him lettuce leaves.
What position are you?: Professor Minty is head of the school, and in charge of all the goings on inside it. He used to teach herbology for a short while but discontinued this after the Ministry gave him a warning about showing pupils carnivorous plants from his travels. Minty, irritated by the 'dumbing down' of the herbology class decided to employ another teacher that would happily teach this now dull subject (In his eyes.)
