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.
I do believe everyone deserves a chance at love, even those who might have tried before. I, too, find myself with a bruised heart after my prior courtship fell through due to no fault of my own.
A bit about myself: I am one and twenty this year and was born of wealth, good family standing, and pure blood. I am fond of letters, stories, and dancing, and am proficient in three different instruments and languages.

Dove,
Thank you for your letter. By all that you wrote, I find it most improbable that anyone should cast aside a young lady as accomplished as you. Any gentleman should be very fortunate indeed to know you.
Which instruments do you play?
I fear I am not so impressive as you on paper, but, as you asked of me – I am my parents’ only child; my mother passed a few years ago so it is only my father and I. I was a Gryffindor at Hogwarts. I live in Hogsmeade, and work at the Ministry – though my spare time is most often spent on books, which I enjoy but can be lonely. I would love to one day soon have a family of my own.
