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 1894. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.

Did You Know?
Did you know? Before the 1920's, it was believed that the Milky Way Galaxy was the only galaxy in the universe. — Steph

Jimmy,
Where are you? Hogwart's out for the summer, what about you? Haven't seen you in the usual haunts. Thought I'd have heard about your sort of foolishness around town by now.
Did you grow real wings and fly away or something? Show your face. Promise I won't scratch it this time.
Charley
P.S. The postwitch is making me pay for this envelope. Don't say I never do anything nice.
I think you must be missing me something terrible. I bet you can’t sleep for missing me. I bet you’re having the most boring summer of your life without me.
I’ve been around. Just busy. Your sort wouldn’t know what that’s like.
Course I’m not dead. My great-gran is, though. So.
Not even an envelope from you this time, huh? Guess your Actual Real Job isn’t real enough to pay you well.
Jimmy

I would like to order a bouquet of fanged geraniums for delivery tomorrow to: [a Pennyworth address that is definitely not his]. The delivery person should say they are from your greatest admirer when presented to the recipient.
