The Tea Rooms will be slightly elevated for their clients, and will host an array of specialty sweet treats for this occasion including but not limited to:

- Specialty chocolates that, when broken into, will speak a certain fortune to you.
Should you decide you want to attend at the Hogsmeade branch, just be veeerrryyy certain you'd like to go...

RE: February 1892 - Ginevra Blackwood - February 11, 2022
What: Queen of Love Masque
Who: The Blackwoods are Hosting, for society types
Cost: N/A
Where: Blackwoods London Home
Why: Valentines
When: 14th February
A masquerade ball in which elaborate valentines costuming is encouraged - if not required!
There are small standing tables about the venue, when a man and woman are at the table together they cannot be overheard.
The food is slightly laced with something like amormentia -not enough to make strangers elope but a gent with a strong inclination may ask someone to court, or for a girl he's courting to become engaged. Or just inspire someone to ask someone they like to dance! It inspires romantic enthusiasm - rather than fake love.

RE: February 1892 - Ginevra Blackwood - February 12, 2022
What: Underground Boxing Match - Ladies and Mens matches
Who: All types invited - if you have an interest in UG fighting and drinking and are a society type you got an invite - WC most likely invited if they want to fight for the purse - although MC and UC that want to fight are not discouraged.
Cost: Betting encouraged and a large purse for the various winners - both male and female.
Where: A discrete, and secretive venue in London.
Why: Because underground boxing and drinking is fun.
When: 29th February
The fighting is bare knuckle, and likely to be bloody. A discrete healer is on hand to make sure no one dies. It's an opportunity for the truly rugged and manly to prove their metal
