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.Where will you fall?

Hope things around the office aren't too boring without me, hopefully we'll be back soon. I'm getting antsy and I feel like Hatchitt is ready to murder me. We should have the lead we need to wrap this up in a fortnight or so.
Things are quite boring one day and then the next, it's all hands on deck. I'm sure it's less interesting than your mission, but you'll tell me when you're back. Don't let Hatchitt murder you. I don't think I need to tell you that of all the people in the world, she could be the one that would do it and get away with it.
I'm surviving, so far without being murdered, but it's temperamental. You're right, if you don't hear from me again, assume I pissed her off to the point of no return. I think after this I'll happily take some desk duty. I always thought myself to be athletic, but this is putting me through the ringer.
There's always a point in one's career when they aren't sure what's in store for their future in their department. I was the same after the shipwreck last year. Did I tell you I almost resigned? Had the resignation letter all written up and everything. I'm glad I talked myself out of it. You're a good auror, Cartwright, I'm sure after a while on desk duty you'll be fit as a fiddle for your next mission.
I didn't know things had gotten so close for you. I was on land handling the aftermath for the most part, were you on the boat when things went haywire or were you on board for the monster fight? I can't remember. It feel like a long while ago, even though it wasn't. I feel like those emergency situations are different too, really puts you and your instincts on the spot. Glad you stuck it out.
I was on board recovering passengers. I got stuck witha friendsomeone I knew from school and we very nearly drowned that day. My coat got caught on a crate and it almost dragged me under. I'm sure you've experienced much more excitement in your line of work, but I'll be honest that very nearly did me in. I can't say I'm too fond of water ever since. I'm glad I stayed, even if it weren't for the fact that employment is something I need at the moment.
Hope you and Hatchitt are doing well — must dash, another crisis calls.
We are good partners on assignment that is certain, just not a lot of personal comradery, I would say. With only the two of us we need to stay focused, so we don't dally in distractions. That said, we do work well together, in sync and it's intuitive, but like I mentioned, not very close other than that. I have yet to make her laugh anyway. Then I know I'm in. Perhaps I should work on that, this is really starting to wear on me, I can imagine it's doing the same to her.
That is scary, it's hard to deal with the unknowns sometimes. I'm glad you made it out alright. Can't say I blame you on the water thing. I would have had the same reaction. I suppose you could always try for another department, if it came down to it, but you have always struck me as the kind to persevere.
Good luck!
