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.

Nell had quite enjoyed dueling when she had been a student, and had engaged on a very recreational level occasionally during her travels. It was no longer a priority in the witch's life, but she could enjoy watching a good bout—and with NEWT-level students before her, she hoped she was in for one.

"Mr. Fudge, when you're ready," Nell bid, inviting him to start the next pass.

"Congratulations again, Mr. Fudge," Nell announced.
The Ravenclaw, it seemed, had been a hair too slow on the draw: a shield charm did shimmer in front of him, but it did not do an abundance of good when one's legs were already locked together. The professor set young Whymper to rights.
