[OOC: Nice bathrooms.]

Walking into the bathroom Heath looked around nervously half expecting
some witch to let out a cry of alarm and strike him with some jinx.
His fears quickly evaporated when he saw a wizard standing at a urinal
that looked like a dragon's yawning mouth. Coming to the Ministry of
Magic really was like stepping into another world, a really, really
weird one. "So," asks Heath, "how could you tell the bathrooms apart?"
