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'm responding to your advertisement because some of your phrasing oddities caught my eye. It rather sounds as though you intend to catch a potential husband and preserve him in some sort of eternal stasis, like an entomologist pinning a butterfly. If that's the case, I'm rather curious about your intended method of trapping him. If it was just some sort of poetic metaphor that went over my head and you didn't mean "eternal Prince Charming" literally, then please feel free to ignore my letter.
