Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.

Fiona Little 30 | MCHB | Hufflepuff Class of '81 | Rep: 9 Hogwarts Nurse
Fiona is the new Hogwarts nurse (as of Fall '92), and was a healer in the Potion and Plant Poisoning ward at Hogsmeade Hospital from 1881-1892. She's an anxious person generally, and probably better with plants than she is with people, but she prides herself on being very competent at her job.
Friends! Probably mostly MCAB ladies, but also she's a good listener, and tries to be as inoffensive as possible, so she may well have made friends by just giving the right person no reason to think she doesn't like them. XD
Hurling? She's not opposed to the idea of romance, and would still like it for herself in theory, though she's done nothing to actually pursue this end. I'm pretty sure she's demisexual? And... -squints- heteroromantic? Probably? I mean, I've been surprised before.
At Hogwarts I have Steliana Nicolescu who started teaching the same time as Fiona became school nurse, so they have that in common. As she only recently moved to the UK they wouldn't have any past history. However they are about the same age.
For possible hurling or just coworker stuff, I have Terence Higgs who teaches art at Hogworts. He's an open minded fellow and prefers to treat people with respect regardless of their blood or class. (then again he's Muggleborn so he lacks the pureblood arrogance some have)
I have Henry Thompsett who's on the quidditch team so very possible he may end up in the infirmary time to time or have other ailments needing the attention of the school nurse. Lastly, Wrath Wakefield who'll be graduating from Hogwarts come spring so always interested to get what school related threads I can with her.
Meserimus Valenduris I think she and Benevolence would definitely be friends! Juliana Ainsworth True story I was thinking of her when I made Fi and thought they should be friends. XD Walter Staghart Fiona has some muggles in her extended family, so she'd appreciate open-mindedness on that front.

I unfortunately don't have any direct connection to Hogwarts staff, but I have my healers, Tilda MacFusty and Mabel Brighton who likely might have encountered Fiona during work? And then I have Philomena Sprout whose family runs Evergardens and regularly grant health professionals like healers, potioneers etc access to their third floor (Mandrakes, Medicinal Herbs & Poison)!
Rowan Yaxley - Fiona would have been reasonably friendly (if shy) with her fellow healers! And has almost definitely made use of Evergardens, especially when she is staying in London.
